Deleted: Posts about Fred Phleps

This post only lasted a few hours. When I checked at 8:00 pm the night I'd made the post, the comment was gone.

I made the following post in the thread:
Father of fallen Marine is suing the attention whores at the Westboro Baptist church for protesting his son’s funeral in response to people talking about how they want to counter protest Phelps.

You need to do more research into Phelps if you want to really hurt his movement. Look up and read "Addicted to Hate" to get some background about how he allegedly raised his family. When you go to protest bring signs that address the dark aspects of their past. Don't target Phelps, he's too bitter and hateful to care, target his followers.

For example, Fred Jr. was in love with a young woman in high school whom Fred Phleps drove to suicide. Look up her name, it's in "Addicted to Hate" and make a sign asking Fred Jr. if he remembers her. Include an autopsy photo of the young woman if you can find one.

Don't attack Phelps, go after the reasons his followers stay with him. The most devastating thing you can do to Phelps is to get his congregation to desert him.

Approach them with compassion and try to help his followers leave him. Treat it like trying to get an abused wife to leave a violent husband.

Later in the tread I posted this response to one of the more articulate and thoughtful posters (At least based on the posts of his/hers that I read)

technicolor-misfit,

What about making people see him with pity? What if everyone who walked past him reacted with pity and sorrow for the sad, pathetic man and his broken, beaten followers? What if the words he heard the most were to the effect of "I'll pray for your broken, battered soul."

What if people stopped hating him and just pitied him?

How do you think he'd feel about that?
