I have a feeling the latter type of person makes up the group running this shitshow and those types of people can hold control over the gullible group for a long time

I hope they just melt into obscurity or fall apart, but I'm not so sure that's what will come to pass

Was this the interview?

Drain seems like he could eventually be brought to reason, but Phelps is a lost cause.

A great documentary on these wackadoodles was the one with Louis Theroux. Not sure why, probably because of Louis. He has a way with people.

Woo-hoo! The world just became a slightly better place.

Every time I see this thread I get Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga stuck in my head. I hope that's played at his funeral, it'd make me chuckle.

Think anyone else will?

Well I sure won't miss him.

May he rest in peace! And find forgiveness for his hatred to other humans!

Diva, you are a good soul to find it in your heart to wish him forgiveness and peace.

I'm a mean bitch and I'm glad the old fucker croaked.

This is how we noted Phelps' death. I had to come home early to pick up the kids at the bus stop because Mrs. Mohandas is in some training until 6 pm.

But before I got there, I picked up two rainbow popsicles from Royal Farms. When they asked what this was about I said it was to commemorate the passing of a mean guy who hated gay people. They made a rainbow cross for Fred Phelps:
