  1. Christian Extremist Fred Phelps Of the Westboro Church By Haley and Haley

  2. Who is Fred Phelps and what does he believe? Fred Phelps was born on November 13, 1929. He is an American pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. Him and his ministry are known for their hateful slogans towards people he deems sinful (aka homosexuals). “God Hates Fags” is their slogan as well as their official website name. This has caused Gay Rights Supporters to denounce him as a producer of Anti-Gay propaganda and violence-inspiring hate speech around the world.

  5. Snippets n’ Bits of the Newspaper Article “…with signs that read ‘Thank God for Dead Soldiers’, ‘You're Going to Hell’ and ‘God Hates the USA.’” “Mr. Phelps and his followers have attracted attention in recent years by showing up at funerals for soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, with placards, chants and tattered American flags.” “Mr. Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church, which is unaffiliated with other Baptist conventions or associations, is monitored as a hate group by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center”
