The Phelpsites picketed KU's graduation ceremonies this year.  I can't say as I'm surprised; they picketed Ralph Nader's speech at the Lied Center in 2001 for the same reason: There's a crowd.  Also Lawrence is an epicenter of homosexual depravity.

I can agree with that to an extent, because it fits with the sort of preaching that goes down at Westboro Baptist, but if you've read up on the Rev. Fred, it's pretty clear he gets really happy about the hellbound getting theirs. His son dated a Catholic girl. He made her life miserable in ways too long to go into here, after which she died under mysterious circumstances. Next day he sang and danced his way to the pulpit. So I'm not sure if they feel they're the prosecuted minority or the invincible angels. It's entirely possible to be both, but they're evil-minded fucks, that's for sure.

I need to go read something nice now.

Freds wiki is one of the most disturbing things I've ever read. Adam knows that Phelps gets me all riled up & pissed off whenever he comes up, which is far too often for my tastes. He is not a nice man.
