Holy Shit!! This is what we are facing!

[Sannum]

I cannot accept that hateful bigots like this are still standing upright.

From Crooks and Liars:

Jael Phelps says gays should die

On Scarborough Country, Jael Phelps granddaughter of The Rev. Fred Phelps Sr, was among three candidates challenging openly gay council member Tiffany Muller in a nonpartisan primary in Topkea, Kan.

You should look at the Westboro Baptist Church website. It's frightening.

She was trying to defend the practice of their religion. She told a stunned Joe Scarborough:

Phelps: The prescribed punishment for homosexuality in the bible is death.

She then smiled!

I know this word is politically incorrect, but this woman is a hateful <un+. That is the only way I can describe her. For the first time in history, someone is more conservative than Scarborough.

Is this is what the american people want?

[Frederik]

1. Why don't they go

join the Taliban, their views are identical.

[NC_Nurse]

2. Jesus wept.

:cry:

[murray hill farm]

7. how did this happen...

that christianity became identified with such hate...and that it continues and seems to increasingly be the rationale for such hate.

[CornField]

10. Because 'real' Christians aren't standing up to oppose it

As the saying goes, "Not In My Name."

There is a problem within the Christian community that has been there for a long time. Those of us on the outside can't go in and fix it and those on the inside don't seem to mind it too much.

[libnnc]

14. exactly...well put.

There are way too many folks who "don't mind it too much." We're not just talking about the back woods, snake handling, strictnine drinking, holy-rollers anymore.

We're up against those mega-churches, the ones that can seat over 5,000 "christians" under one roof twice a week. These aren't toothless free-will, blood of the lamb, baptists. These are really quite "normal" looking, soccer moms and dads.

They want us DEAD.

Or at the very least WAY out of sight and completely SILENT.

[PST]

21. a very big FUCKING AMEN to that!

these bastards get away with everything all the time and no one stands up to them. and what did that jerk Scarborough do about it btw? he's always so keen on telling his adience he was "born a southern baptist" too. nice peers Joe!
There's a link to their website that made me sick.
fucking imbeciles, the lot of them!

[BiggJawn]

33. They sure don't seem to mind it, do they?

Not half as much as they mind us outsiders pointing it out to them.

As far as I'm concerned, Silence equals Agreement.

[rkc3]

12. Somewhere in Kabul, someone asked the same question 20 years ago.

[arcane1]

13. because the Bible says that gays should be killed

and the fundies LOVE IT

[jdj]

22. well for one thing, the old testament isn't Christianity.

People need to ask these folks whether they are Jewish or not.

Jesus never mentioned homosexuality.

And women should be quiet in (and presumably about) the churchs, so she needs to shut up.

Stuff like this really needs to be said, so thank MSNBC....the more they get exposed for their creepiness, the better.

[KoKo]

3. MSNBC needs to be shut down for promoting "hate speech."

Obviously their tactics to go farther right aren't working with their ratings tanking, yet they keep at it. Maybe we need a letter writing campaign to GE their parent.

They've already had to fire a couple of people for this. Some right wing talk show hate monger they hired and another one that I can't remember the name of. But, my God, their track record is terrible.

[TahitiNut]

4. Now you can call them Nazis. The Nazis sent Gays to the Death Camps.

The Republican Party is Fascist. Phelps is a Nazi. That's not an exaggeration. That's the corruption and sickness infesting this nation.

[Spazito]

5. In Canada, she would be charged under our hate crime law....

she is advocating for the death of gays and that, imo, goes beyond free speech. What a disgusting piece of crap she is.

[MissB]

9. I only wish that my country was as enlightened as yours. (nt)

[CatBoreal]

20. May I suggest....

...we start the Gay Underground Railroad to Canada now? Why wait for these nutbars to get even more established than they already are?

[DesEtoiles]

6. Do I have to haul this out AGAIN?...

Dear Dr. Laura,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law. I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with this?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

Lev. 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not Canadians. Can you clarify?

I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

Lev. 20:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

[Jackpine Radical]

8. Thanks. Just the other day I wished I could lay hands on this,

but didn't have time to look right then & later forgot. I just saved it.

[walldude]

28. I'm glad you did, I have never seen this

and I hope you don't mind but I saved it and put it in my "ammunition" folder. Brilliant....

11. The bible also recomends death for eating shellfish

Does she think maybe we should shoot everyone on their way out of Red Lobster?

40. God hates Frogs too

Wasn't there something in the Moses story...

[TheFarseer]

16. Please tell me where the bible says that?!

I'm thinking the Book of Nowhere chapter 8 verses 12-14

[Nimrod]

19. Leviticus 20 - something

There's a whole list of instant death sentences.

[TheFarseer]

26. hmmmm I don't remember reading that the penalty is death

But if people are saying that it must be in there. Maybe I should re-read it.

[Nimrod]

27. Here's my buddy King James

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Leviticus 20:13

They ban every other book that promotes violence, it's amazing how they keep missing this lovely piece of trash.

[jonnyblitz]

25. leviticus 20:13 says it.

"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."

the bible is full of heinous crap but christians usually don't read it anyways. we atheists do, though.

[Nimrod]

29. I believed in God until I read the Bible

Seriously. I was brought up believing in God with all my heart. Then I embarked on a project to read the Bible as completely as I could and in the process realized that man had created a God to be hated and feared rather than loved.

So yes, the Bible literally turned me away from religion.

[goodboy]

42. eating shellfish is also an 'abomination' along with wearing clothes made

of two different fabrics..also planting two different crops in the same field...leviticus also sanctions slavery, burning a bull on an altar...

[tsuki]

17. She sounds like she is auditioning for mAnn's job.

[Skidmore]

18. Interesting choice of names for the young woman.

Jael in the book of Judges in the OT was "the wife of Heber the Kenite" and is best known for killing Sisera, a general of the Canaanite army, by driving a tent peg through his temple with a hammer until it buried itself in the ground.

[Nimrod]

24. Perfect bible quote for her!

"But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." (1 Timothy 2:12-15)

We need to get ahold of this bitch and inform her that by trying to teach and not remaining silent she is in violation of God's law and will not be tolerated.

[ryan_cats]

30. The whole Phelps klan sucks.

I'd hate to have that family's karma. How does Kansas put up with their hate hate hate?

They are evil. What kind of sick b*stard show up at funerals for someone who dies of AIDS with a sign that says they deserved to die and that it was God's judgement?

[SmokingJacket]

37. I almost feel sorry for her.

Imagine having the bad luck to be born into that twisted bunch of psychotics??

[WillowTree]

32. I saw her.

That is one sick chick.

[cornermouse]

34. Just for the record you might want to take a look at this story

http://www.kctv5.com/Global/story.asp?S=3017103

Topeka may not be quite as bad as you think.

[woodsprite]

35. I'm Presby - we dwell in the New Testament.

Much more forgiveness for breaking any of the rules in the Old Testament. We look at the old testament as essentially a history lesson. In a nutshell, Boom! New testament, Jesus is born, Jesus dies for our sins. If we accept him as our saviour and acknowledge that we sin, then we are forgiven. From that point forward, we live with "Liberal" ideals. :) Love one another, support the sick, hungry, poor, needy, and of course, try to follow the 10 commandments. Play fair. If you have a conscience, it helps (that's the problem with repubs). If we flub up, ask forgiveness and really mean it, and start out fresh again trying to do the right thing. Take care of God's creations (environment, all living things, etc.)

Glad there is a new testament since I enjoy my ham, pizza w/ sausage, bacon, and a good shrimp feast every now and then. I also know some Rabbi's that do too, but I'm not telling on them ;)

[Skidmore]

38. Hang the Phelps cult on the Republican party. This is the

type of hatred and castigating they have encouraged. Associate the party with the Phelps cult anytime you get the opportunity.

[Trish1168]

39. Isn't the punishment for eating shell fish death too?

Afterall, that too is an abomination according to Leviticus. I think Scarborough should have asked her if she eats shell fish....then have his crew come in with a bunch of rocks and to aim at her, because eating shell fish is an abomination. How dare she eat shell fish!! It says so in the bible.

The old testament also says its okay to own slaves. Maybe Scarborough should have asked her how many she owns, since its perfectly okay and a nice source of cheap labor.

44. Hey Phelps - do unto others as they would do unto you.

Be careful. Homos are nice people and only hate what you say. Now you want them totally dead. At this point, should any of them really give a damn about you, they might shove that bible up your ass. And it'd be self defense as well.

(BTW: I don't give a fuck about you. You're not worth my time apart from a couple of knee-jerk reactionary comments. Besides, I know full well that crazies like you would become martyrs for the even crazier fanatical followers.)
