How do you like your pals, Kostards?

How could you? Don’t you know that pointing out the hated Phelps makes you worse then Phelps?
Your proper position is to close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears and sing lalalalalal.
– Somehow I have a feeling one of the local biker groups might have a slight dampening effect on the exuberance of Phelps and his gang of nuthouse escapee’s.
You are right of course Darleen. The proper course is to ignore the ruckus at the church until a more appropriate time. Maybe a politely worded and gentle statement of regret in a week or so.
Decorum.
Heh. Hows this for comment spam:
# Armadillo Headcover on the Semiotics of “Scott Thomasâ€Â: another perspective
Decorum!
So dKos is the only place on the ‘net where SEK won’t speak decorum to powah.
For some reason, the phrase “mendacious sack” comes to mind.
Also, the word “waaaaaaahhhhmbulance.”
Dan, you’re just as evil (well, “almost” as evil) as the Phelpstards for mentioning that they’ll be picketing Snow’s funeral.
I mean, imagine if Tony’s children were to one day stumble upon this post and find that out.
You see, it’s like there was this “roustabout” who died, and then me and my buddies act like a bunch of assholes at his funeral and then try to explain it away by blaming Jeff G. Also, the “roustabout” may have been a war criminal, but I’m not going to discuss that today.
Long story short, you should be ashamed of yourselves for pointing out what assholes my buddies are.
I am going to miss him. He was always a classy guy.
And that is too rare.
Don’t they get bored? I mean, is this what they see themselves doing 5 years from now? Ten years? I think they’re in a rut.
I think science has proven that pond scum lacks that ability.
I think they’re in a rut.
It’s been a long rut.

An angry rock-throwing mob is the only thing they respect.
I don’t know, Cincinnatus — from what I’ve read about them, such a counter-argument might be too advanced for them. Because of the nuance.
Just to prove that extremist pricks are the same all over.
Somehow I’m sure Dan is being ironic, but just in case, I hope he knows that Phelps is a die hard Democrat, at least in all the primaries he ran in, he and Al Gore!
IIRC, the Phelpstards want to be hit, for the crazy lawsuit money.
and he said unto us,
“only a total PUSSY would protest a man in his grave,
Roustabouts are people too goddammit!
Speaking of the one group of people I despise more than Kos commentators…
I read that stuff in the link and I had to go back and thumb through my bible to try and discover the edgy relevancy from the verses. The super insight that Phelps yanks from them like a surgeon removing a tapeworm.
Then I stop myself and realise I’m trying to find logic and scholarship in the hateful and narcissistic. Then I go get get drunk and weep about wht this tool represents in the name of Christianity.
Christian In Name Only, BJ. There is nothing actually Christian about what they do.
Hey, I was a Kostard back when they were still known as the “Hillbilly Bugger Boys”.
= Phelps got the “whenever two or more of you….” part right, just having trouble with “the name” part. Someone should point out to him that Jesus doesn’t start with an “L”, or an “S”.
– And Karl, didn’t I read that crazy wife of his gas already done some jury mining, trying to score some easy cash?
What can you say about Westboro except may the worst that is possible befall them? It should be clear to those who read their press releases that it is not about God, it is about their Church. They have set themselves up as an idol, and as such deserve to be crushed.
I’m kind of sorry to find out that SEK is so morally empty. It seems as if to him Luther nailing his thesis to the church door is the same as the excesses/failures of the church he was railing against.
My friend saw them picketing someone’s funeral outside of Arlington one day and some chick got out of her car and punched one of the young Phelps girls in the face (for even more dramatic effect, he said the woman who did the assbeating had a “Don’t Mess With Texas” sticker on her bumper). I don’t know if it is true but it sounded fucking awesome anyway.
Lisa, the “Don’t Mess With Texas” thing is an anti-littering campaign.
Appropriate, don’t’cha think?

I belonged to Fred Phelps’ church for twenty years. He married my wife and I, and baptized our children. Until now, I just thought Fred was kind of like my crazy uncle who ran around in the pasture with his pants down.
This is not the Fred I knew.

What Phelps is doing is breaking the Commandment of “do not take the Lord’s name in vain.” He’s breaking one of the Big Ten – because that Commandment is not about swearing, it is about doing evil in His name. There is no evil quite like “religious” evil, because it brings disrepute on everyone who believes in a just God.
IIRC someone recently took Sick Freddy and crew to the legal woodshed. More, please.
IIRC, the Phelpstards want to be hit, for the crazy lawsuit money.
Yes. They are professional trolls. That’s how they make their living.
I feel like I invoked Phelps into Tony Snow’s funeral. I apologize, Snow family.
Maybe it’s getting to the point, though, where having the Phelps family protest your funeral is a badge of honor. You know your loved one is somebody who did some good in the world when they show up with their “God Hates Fags” posters. They don’t come around for just anybody.
That Ben Alpers fellow…I don’t think he’s even smart enough to be allowed to operate a motor vehicle.
That was in response to Darleen’s link in the first comment, BTW.
I love what you said over there, happy.
You know, once someone whips out the “we killed a million people in Iraq” bit of nonsense, I think the ol’ shepherd’s hook should shoot out from the Internet backstage and haul the sad, unfortunate sap offstage.
From the SEK comments:
This is allowed to stand without comment by SEK, because it isn’t saying this about Tony Snow….yet. I cannot wait to be made to look silly about how I think SEK views Snow (and Bush).
LOL, Slartibart. That would be awesome. Same goes for Hitler analogies (or they should get the ACME Insta-Trapdoor treatment).
I was on patrol all weekend, so I didn’t see the post Jeff put up on Tony Snow until this morning. I found it amazing that SEK spent all of that time twisting and spinning, trying to defend the commenters over at DKos.
Jeff: “Look! The emperor not only has no clothes, he’s drunk and passed out in the street!”
SEK: “How dare you point out the obvious you nasty little boy!”
I think it is very telling that SEK felt he had to defend the commenters at Kos – telling about what he is afraid his association with them says about him.
I’m just wondering which Springsteen tune will be the one for Snow’s kids’ pop.
