Fred Phelps, the former founder and leader of Westboro Baptist Church, has died according to family members. Westboro baptist Church is best known for their fire brand of hate religion. Picketing funerals from a wide variety of people from Elizabeth Edwards to fallen military members
They especially targeted the LGBT community,their hate rhetoric seemed to have no boundaries.

"Fred Phelps, the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, has died at the age of 84, according to two of his children. His son, Timothy Phelps, confirmed to Kansas' WIBW that Fred Phelps died "before midnight" on Wednesday. His daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, also confirmed news of the death to the Topeka Capital-Journal.
The Westboro Baptist Church is probably the vilest hate group in the United the State of America," Heidi Beirich, research director for the Montgomery, Ala.-based Southern Poverty Law Center, told The Associated Press in July 2011. "No one is spared, and they find people at their worst, most terrible moments of grief, and they throw this hate in their faces. It's so low." I wonder if anyone will carry picket signs at his funeral ?

I've never heard of this man, nor church or anything about this. Veggie.. I won't go into it here. It would take too much time.
Google Fred Phelps...... and the Westboro Baptist Church,( they're not really Baptists.. that's just a label they've assigned themselves.) They are the hate group that pickets funerals. They don't seem to discriminate in whose funeral they picket.. Fallen soldiers, Elizabeth Edwards ( bless her heart ) and homosexuals.. The Gay people are their main target.. They hate gays with a passion. These people ( the Westboro bunch ) have caused more pain than I can explain here. They don't seem to have any basis or structure in their hate campaign. As far as i can tell, they hate everyone.. I wonder if anyone picketed Phelp's funeral ? I doubt that anyone would lower themselves to his level.
