Oh, OK-keepin it on the downlow, right?
__________________![]() This is what it says on Wikipedia-somehow I have a hard time believing that he's still a Democrat. Maybe, considering how bizarro the whole thing is. I am ashamed of Al Gore. Democratic Party Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but has never won. These included races for governor in 1990, 1994, and 1998, receiving about 15% of the vote in 1998.[34] In the 1992 Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, Phelps received 31% of the vote [35] Phelps ran for mayor of Topeka in 1993 [36] and 1997. [37] Support for Al Gore Phelps supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic Party primary election.[38] In his 1984 Senate race, Gore opposed a "gay bill of rights" and stated that homosexuality was not something that "society should affirm".[39] Phelps has stated that he supported Gore because of these earlier comments.[40] According to Phelps, members of the Westboro Baptist Church helped run Gore's 1988 campaign in Kansas. Phelps' son, Fred Phelps Jr., hosted a Gore fundraiser, which Al and Tipper Gore attended, at his home in Topeka.[10][40] Fred Phelps, Jr. served as a Gore delegate to the 1988 Democratic National Convention.[40][41] Gore spokesman Dag Vega declined to comment; "We are not dignifying those stories with a response."[42] Opposition to Al Gore and Bill Clinton During the 1992 presidential campaign, Phelps protested Hillary Clinton during a campaign speech in support of the Clinton-Gore ticket at the University of Kansas on October 14, 1992. In Bill Clinton's second presidential campaign, Phelps and the Westboro church also opposed Clinton and Gore because of the administration's support for gay rights. The entire Westboro congregation picketed a 1997 inaugural ball[43], denouncing Gore as a "famous fag pimp."[44] In 1998, Westboro picketed the funeral of Gore's father, screaming vulgarities at Gore and telling him, "your dad's in Hell."[44] In the aftermath of the election, in an incident that would be repeated years later when Phelps circulated a petition to outlaw homosexual work protection, many of the Kansas Democrats who had cast votes for Phelps came forward to express their distaste for him. They said that Phelps had lied about his intentions to numerous constituents, using double-talk and fuzzy language to confuse them; neglected to mention his stances on race, religion, and homosexuality, and campaigned mainly on the platform of a "good ol' boy" Southern gentleman and retired lawyer unfairly prosecuted by the system.[45] |

I think that approaching it as an invasion of privacy makes it less clear cut. They should have the right to spew their brand of faith based hatred loud and clear though.

It's really in poor taste for these people to take hate and such to Virginia Tech. Those people have been though hell.

What's your point? Sociopaths perform better in the business world.

You're suggesting that the Democratic Party agrees with Fred Phelps by the sheer fact that he might have a membership card? Jesus, db. You're a nice guy, and you don't deserve a lot of the crap you take in this forum, and I've got a lot of respect for you as a result. And I'm sorry to say this but you've really hit rock bottom with this post. Come on. This is inane, and I think you know that. I know you've got a brain, so please use it. ![]() |

I don't think there was any point to prove there, but I don't wish to incite a debate/argument, so I'll leave it be.

The Westboro Baptist Church is probably the single most despicable group of human beings in America right now.
