| Phelps clan to target Sweden (Swedish lefties overjoyed) |

| Minister of hate to "hunt down" Swedish king Published: 25th August 2005 15:32 CET Online: http://www.thelocal.se/1961/ The fanatical American Baptist minister, Fred Phelps, is on his way to Sweden. Phelps calls himself a Baptist but he is not associated with any recognized denominational group and is routinely denounced by every Baptist organization of any significance. His "church" is in fact a sado-mascochistic lawyer cult limited to his immediate family and a handful of similarly inbred nutcases. "We'll hunt down your king," he said ominously to Expressen. "It doesn't make any difference where he tries to hide." Phelps' hatred of the royal family and all things Swedish is linked directly to his equally virulent hatred of homosexuals. He praises homophobic crimes, including murder. When controversial Swedish minister, Åke Green, was convicted of inciting hatred of homosexuals following an anti-gay sermon, Phelps saw red and turned his attention to Sweden. "You're doomed to spend eternity in hell," he continued. "All you Swedes and your Swedish king and his family." The minister and twenty members of his congregation from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, are planning to come to Sweden at the beginning of September. They are bringing plenty of placards in order to spread their message that Sweden is the cradle of all evil and that the king rules a nation of sodomites. He said the same thing about Lubbock and its mayor. King Carl Gustaf is their primary target. "Your king represents your doomed country and we'll find him wherever he may be." Phelps claims that Sweden deserved to suffer in the Boxing Day tsunami catastrophe in southern Asia and has designed a monument to 'celebrate' the deaths of over 500 Swedes in Thailand. The left-leaning Swedish media will naturally fail to mention Phelps' most prominent outrage, his attempts to desecrate the funerals of fallen soldiers. They can't confuse public sympathy by highlighting his anti-war views and hatred of the American military. That might take away from their focus, to discredit American Christians. The royal household regards the proposed visit as a serious risk and has increased security around the king and the royal family. Stop whimpering, royal girly-men. This bitch-pack's bark is much worse than its bite. "We'll be informing Säpo of this," said royal spokeswoman, Ann-Christine Jernberg. A royal girly-girl. So, should Sweden laugh, cry or take Fred Phelps seriously? Expressen columnist, Lars Lindström, is in no doubt that this is no joke. You can throw him in a dungeon if you like. We'll get around to filing a diplomatic protest in, say, 2090. "If he were a cartoon character, I'd laugh. But now I just feel ill. Minister Fred Phelps has such extreme views that even the Christian far right in the USA feel a bit queasy." This invites a false inference by drastically (and willfully) understating the case. Phelps has no support whatsoever outside his own weird little cult. Lindström argues that it isn't just singled out Sweden that's exercised about Phelps, but that he attracts a lot of attention in his home country. Sure enough, Lindstrom uses ambiguity to imply widespread support for the Phelpers in the US (why else would Lindstrom find this "attention" a cause for concern?) "Phelps has eleven lawyers fighting for his constitutional right to cast the objects of his hatred to the fires of hell. To dismiss him as a village idiot is to take the easy way out." No, he is still the village idiot. Lindstrom conveniently neglects to mention that all 11 of these lawyers are members of Phelps immediate family and the two or three deranged clans associated with them. This omission again invites the inference that Phelps has substantial support among Americans. "With friends like Fred Phelps, Åke Green doesn't need a single enemy," concludes Lindström. Ain't that the sad and sorry truth? Once again, where does Phelps get the money for these expeditions? Phelps himself admits to spending $250K per year on this depravity. His mob has won a couple of lawsuits, but the proceeds come to less than $250K over the last 15 years. Somebody needs to find the money trail and follow it. |

| #3 OK, I've got it: 1) Someone tell them there are homosexuals in Iraq. 2) Wait a couple of days and put 30 airplane tickets to Iraq in his mailbox along with a "Note from God" telling him to go there and picket the Sunni Triangle. 3) Put 30 picket signs written in arabic in his car that poke fun at Mighty Mo, his slippers, Islam, Bin Laden, the Heroic Resistance(TM), and anything else they'll react to. These should be labeled as coming from God, too. Don't worry, they'll believe this, too. 4) Watch for the festivities that evening on Al-Jizz! |

| #2 Why would they let him and his fellow nutjobs into their country? Not that I'm against it, you understand. Somebody besides us should have to suffer this idiot for a while. Can we pay Sweden to keep him and his in-breeds? |
