He pales in comparison to Walmart.

Fred Phelps Dead: Westboro Baptist Church Founder Dies At 84
Fred Phelps, Democrat, dead at 84.
All human life holds fundamental value.
Yeah, and I'm a Black Panther.
Phelps ran in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but never won. These included races for governor in 1990, 1994, and 1998, receiving about 15 percent of the vote in 1998.[45] In the 1992 Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, Phelps received 31 percent of the vote.[46] Phelps ran for mayor of Topeka in 1993[47][48] and 1997.[49]
Phelps supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic Party presidential primary election.[49] In his 1984 Senate race, Gore had opposed a "gay bill of rights" and stated that homosexuality was not something that "society should affirm"), a position he had changed by 2000 when he had the support of homosexual advocacy groups for his presidential campaign. Phelps has stated that he supported Gore because of these earlier comments.[50] According to Phelps, members of the Westboro Baptist Church helped run Gore's 1988 campaign in Kansas.
During the 1992 presidential campaign, Phelps criticized Hillary Rodham Clinton during a speech he gave endorsing Bill Clinton's presidential campaign at the University of Kansas on October 14, 1992. In 1996 Phelps and the Westboro church opposed Clinton's re-election because of the administration's support for gay rights. The entire Westboro congregation picketed a 1997 inaugural ball,[51] denouncing Vice President Al Gore as a "famous fag pimp" (Gore had changed his positions on gay rights since 1984). In 1998, Westboro picketed the funeral of Gore's father, screaming vulgarities at Gore and telling him, "your dad's in Hell".

So I guess that makes you a Black Panther after all. Just as controversial as Phelps! :lamo
Did he not himself run on the Democrat ticket multiple times, Did he not support Al Gore and Bill Clinton at one time? Nothing in his biography points to him ever supporting a Republican. He simply parted ways From Clinton and Gore when it came to gay rights. He hated George Bush. So deal with it.Yup, I can call myself a Black Panther. And Phelps was was perfectly free to call himself a Democrat. I'll just assume you're doing this for chuckles, because if you honestly believe Phelps represented any Democrat ideals, there's no reaching you.

You know what? In reality to first order, it's pretty much exactly the same. What, did Phelp's death end our imperial wars in the ME? Fix our economy? Create better public relations between the US and other countries? Reduce the wealth gap? Control police aggression against the People?
No, it did none of that. The world is not a better place today, the world is the same as it was yesterday. So all we have is cheering the death of a human, how Republocrat of you.
Hallelujia!

You probably believe that the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are democracies. I mean, look, they both totally have the word "democratic" in them.
This thread has destroyed any faith I might have had in mankind. Dude is dead, and all any one can think about is how to score points on him.

The real hypocrisy lies in how the left leaning news is covering his death. Every left rag on the Internet, Nation, Huffo Puffo, the Beast, Daily Kos etc. to the MSM,( ABC, NBC, CBS,) NEVER mention Phelp's long ties to the Democrat party but instead refer to him as a "conservative" because of the church he started which is mainly made up of his own family members and has no affiliation with any Baptist organizations. NOT ONE has brought up his history as an activist for the Democrat party for decades.
The facts remain, Fred Phelps was a registered Democrat the day he took his last breath. He ran for offices on the Democrat ticket including mayor, governor and senator multiple times. He campaigned for Bill Clinton and Al Gore and was invited to their inaugural balls not once but twice. The first time he went to celebrate with them, the second time he went to protest because Gore and Clinton's views on gay rights had changed from what they held originally. For decades, Phelps helped to get Democrats elected not just by his involvement in national campaigns but has a very long history of working to get local politicians elected until he became "controversial" over gay rights, and protesting soldiers funerals. Then no Democrat politician wanted him near them.

They refer to him as a conservative because HE WAS ONE. Sorry but his views on gays certainly wasn't a liberal view.
Now, that isn't to say EVERY conservative thinks like he did, most do not. However, his views on gays was certainly hard-core right conservative.
You still didn't address the blatant choice of the media not to mention he was a Democrat and falsely paint him as belonging to the opposing party by the use of the word "conservative" which goes to the point that that not all Democrats are created equal and also hold the same views as Phelps toward gay relationships.
