Anti-gay psycho Fred Phelps says he and Fred Thompson saw "eye to eye" on homosexuality

from AlterNet's PEEK:

Anti-Gay Hate Group Says Fred Thompson Shares Their Values

Posted by Paddy at 5:54 AM on October 18, 2007.

Paddy: Fred Phelps' church says, "we saw eye to eye" on the issue of homosexuality.

This post, written by Paddy, originally appeared on Cliff Schecter's Brave New Films Blog

Anti-gay church: Thompson agreed with us

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Members of the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church are urging Fred Thompson to support their stance on homosexuality -- a position on which they say the Republican presidential candidate once ''saw eye to eye'' with them.

Thompson was hired for a mid-1980s legal case in Kansas on the recommendation of Margie Phelps, daughter of Westboro founder Fred Phelps.

The Topeka, Kan.-based church is now best known for protesting at soldiers' funerals, claiming their deaths are retribution for the nation's acceptance of homosexuality.

(snip)

Church members released an open letter to Thompson this week, saying he had discussed his views on homosexuality with them while handling the case of a woman who had sued the state's Republican attorney general for sexual harassment.

''We know what your position used to be on the homosexual question -- and it was wonderful, and we saw eye to eye,'' church members said in the letter to Thompson

Bet that's one endorsement he could have done without

Of course, Cliff's old bud denied it.

Thompson campaign spokeswoman Karen Hanretty on Wednesday dismissed the church as ``a radical fringe group, looking to draw attention to themselves.''

BTW- This the Westboro Baptist Church.

(As an afterthought- Let's say Old Fred doesn't get the nomination and/or Presidency and he hooves it back to Hollywoodland from whence he came. I'm think there are alot of co-workers who would not be pleased with this information. Not. At. All.)

4. I wait with baited breath for the chance to picket Phelch's funeral

I have a sign already put together and waiting in my closet. It has Fred Phelps burns in Hell -- God Hates Bigots on one side and Thanks for the precedent, Fred on the other.

10. My dream has been to surround the compound

with a huge, Gay Pride flag.

My cynical side tells me, though, that he may pass and be buried before word leaks out of his death, to avoid a massive demonstration.

5. Fred Phelps and anti gay republicans have far more in common than they will admit.

6. It won't be good for him to have his name associated with THEM.

I don't know anybody who would want their name associated with them. If my last name were Phelps, I'd probably try to have it legally changed!
