Re: Fred Phelps is on the ‘Edge of Death’
Whoa, really? Wow. I knew he was a lawyer because I read about how he used lawsuits to fund his church but I never knew that. What the hell happened to him indeed. How does one go from making a career out of pursuing civil rights to being a hatemonger?
That's curious. He fell really fucking far.

I had heard that too, that he was pretty liberal and believed in helping those who needed it, like minorities and was a big supporter of liberal causes. Bizarre now to think that he was the same guy.

He probably had a gay epiphany that scared the hell out of him so went full bore in the other direction.
