I have been doing some thinking about Fred Phelps...

[jmowreader]

It seems our friend Mr. Phelps is slightly homophobic. That can't be good.

It also seems that Mr. Phelps enjoys disrupting funerals.

Now...would it be possible to assemble a group of men all across the land who would promise to travel to Phelps protests close to them, stand in front of Fred, and French kiss with great zeal until the Phelpses leave?

1. They would probably just take that as evidence that they are right

and their protests are working.

2. I'm sorry... For some reason or another my mind went in a different direction.

I was thinking Michael Phelps the swimmer rather than Fred Phelps.

Got confused there for a bit.

3. I'm pretty sure biker groups already do that, well without the kissing part.

I think I read that most of them were war veterans.

4. Not all bikers who are activist are that old.

5. We've got a disturbingly large number of veterans from the Bush wars.

The Korean and Vietnam vets are switching from Harleys to wheel chairs, but there are a lot of new vets (children in my book) that are rising up to protect the dignity of the deceased.

6. As a member of ABATE I agree with what you've just said.

10. Thank you. That's the group. I couldn't think of the name.

7. Just be patient: He is going to die eventually;

save the shenannigans for HIS funeral. It ought to be fun.

8. OMG every LGBT-rights group in America will be in Topeka on that day

You do realize they'll have to bury Fred in secret so his grave doesn't get violated.

11. Oh, hell no

I have the Rockettes, and the Texas Cheerleaders scheduled for the first and second number. Next the line dance class from Shortie's Saloon. Cloggers from Caldwell, Tappers from Judy's school of dance. You get the picture.

13. Make sure to bring about five kegs of beer

If you're going to piss on Fred Phelps' grave, you've got to do it BIG!

14. Planes circling overhead, filled with glitter bombs

Skydivers in abfab drag or is that over the top?

[jmowreader]

17. Kinda unsafe, but not really over the top

But I see no reason at all why we can't get a bunch of people from Southern Decadence to come up. We can also do a triple-bill street play of "Rent," "The Rocky Horror Show" and "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" right in front of his house.

15. And his Fredketeers will tear each other to pieces...

...fighting over his $18.35 estate and for the rulership of the cult.

[caraher]

12. That won't matter

Michael Moore went a step further on TV Nation with the "Sodomobile." The fun starts around 1:25

16. That woman at the end really had a thing against Karen Carpenter. n/t
