Fox Calls Westboro Baptist Church A 'Left-Wing Cult' - NewsHounds
Typical FOX reporting. I guess they figure whoever is so much against homosexuals and run a web site called "beastObama" must be a left-wing cult.

It's too bad FOX always picks a side in every issue, and always tries to associate everything negative to the party they oppose, even if they have to invent stuff.

It would also be fair to say that it is a possibility that Phelps switched sides{ went left to right} and that hate comes from both sides.

I am a hard right winger but what amazes me most is the attention Fred Phelps and his church, mostly made up of inbred family members, gets from either side.

He's a one man freak show with a small band of idiots comprising 0.000000001% of the population yet somehow we give him all this attention?

Do you think that they aren't a left-wing cult? What's your problem with this story? OH! It came from Fox! Of course.

I grew up in a city that is like 96% {D}s and hate is alive and well. I could show you all day long hatred towards blacks, whites, gays, etc etc, ad nausem. We are surrounded by hate but on a good note there is bi partisanship on speaking out and condemning hate. Look how the forum is playing pin the Phelps on the other party, and it is possible he has belonged to both.

You mean "relevant", don't you?

How is it not relevant to the story? Phelps is entirely wrong in his approach and he is a Democrat.

The funny thing is that if you hadn't made this thread, most CD members would have gone along believing the false tale that the left wing media spews.

Thank you for telling the truth - that the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church is a Democrat.

No wonder they are loony - so is the left!

Do you deny that President Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. were Republicans?

Phelps tried to get elected as a democrat in 1992. That`s twenty(20) years ago. [MOD CUT/off topic]

President Obama attended a church where the pastor said God D*** America!

President Obama went to a church led by a batty preacher, too.
