Wow. You know, I knew this was coming, but…ugh.
From our good old friends at the Westboro Baptist Church comes a statement on Heath Ledger:
Brokeback Mountain star – Heath Ledger – is dead. WBC will picket his funeral.
‘Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is abomination.’ Lev. 18:22. ‘For because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.’ Eph. 5:6.
Yes. WBC will picket this pervert’s funeral, in religious protest and warning: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked.” Gal. 6:7. Heath Ledger thought it was great fun defying God Almighty and his plain word; to wit: God Hates Fags! & Fag-Enablers! Ergo, God hates the sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with vomit known as ‘Brokeback Mountain’ – and He hates all persons having anything whatsovever to do with it.
Heath Ledger is now in Hell, and has begun serving his eternal sentence there – beside which, nothing else about Heath Ledger is relevant or consequential.
No, I’m not surprised that good old fucking Fred and the church will be picketing Heath’s funeral. These are the people, in case you aren’t aware, who have been picketing soldier’s funerals because of the US’s “tolerance” of homosexuality. They’ve picketed the memorials for Columbine, the Sago Mine disaster, and the Westroads Mall shooting, among others, and were going to picket the Virginia Tech Massacre memorials and the October 2006 Amish school shooting, but withdrew in exchange for an hour of radio time. I could go on, but I’m not going to. I’m not surprised, but I am sickened, as usual. Phelps, die in a fucking fire. No, seriously. Please. Walk into a fire and burn to death. It’s the quickest way to Jesus. God told me. Seriously, we can do it together.
You go first.

these people are sick. they get so much joy out of other people’s misfortunes. first they picket military funerals, then they can’t seem to separate an actor from the role he played. if heath is buried anywhere, it will probably be in his native land. would these nutjobs actually go to australia to picket?
which only reminds me of this: mr. phelps, are you listening?

Welcome to the nest, Stef.
The issue, of course, is that in the Phelps’s mind (I saw mind because really, they’ve only got one mind between them, much like the borg or zombies), Ledger is part of “Fag Hollywood,” and anyone in Hollywood is hellbound. He made a film that doesn’t deals with homosexuality but doesn’t villify it, thus he’s going to hell.
Phelps is one of the true evils in the world. One can hope this will be a funeral he’ll just give up and not picket.

It sounds horrible, but you know what would make me giddy? If someone bashed in Phelps’ head with a baseball bat while he’s picketing this funeral. I just can’t stand the evil bastard. Picketing Heath Ledger’s funeral because he acted in Brokeback Mountain? I underestimated how minuscule Phelps’ twisted mind was.
If Phelps does picket, you can be that there will be hundreds of people keeping his gang of lowlifes from getting anywhere close to the funeral itself. But Phelps is a coward. He wouldn’t dare go near a funeral this publicized because he knows his bunch will be outnumbered. I just hope he’s that smart.

Nobody of worth or in power will ever take this guy and his “church” seriously.
He’s a waste.
Ever notice that we never see Mr. Phelps pick on somebody while they’re still alive…?

Has anyone noticed how fred phelps looks like Darth Sidious? he also looks like the Raincoat-cult leader “Sean” in the XBOX360 game “Dead Rising”

I’m a Perth based Aussie…..I’d LOVE to attack him and his cult along with my kick-boxing buddies and Aborigional gangs and Red-Necks and Bikies if they dare come here….I’ve riled everyone up and we’re waiting and ready to pounce when they try anything.
