God Hates Fred Phelps

Today, I learned that freak Fred Phelps of the "God hates fags"/Westboro "Baptist" Church "fame" ran for public office in his home state of Kansas 5 different times as a Democrat. His family also hosted a fundraiser for Al Gore, which both Mr. & Mrs. Gore attended, at his son's home in Topeka. Phelps also served as a Gore delegate to the 1988 Democrat National Convention.

This was a bit of a surprise to me, as every representation I have ever seen of this guy he's been portrayed as some right wing nut bag, when in reality, he's part of the Democrat establishment. That really does explain a lot about why this guy hates our military men and women, protests their funerals, and harasses their families.

Actually, it explains a lot in general.
