Fox News calls Westboro Baptist "Left Wing Westboro Cult"?

Fox News is correct

http://www.georgialogcabin.org/news...tist-Church-God-Hates-Fags/200010251159.shtml

I always find that it helps to be knowledgeable about a subject before commenting on it. It spares on the embarrassment of being proven wrong. Unless of course Phelps run for office as a democrat and his support of Al Gore makes him a right wing conservative?

Apparently left wingers think only the right can be against gays. Talk about living in a carefully created reality where no outside facts are allowed to intrude.

Bikers descended on the town of Newtown yesterday and linked arms blocking the hate group protesters of Westboro Baptist Church from disrupting the funerals. (Free Republic)
Conservative bikers turned out yesterday to protect Newtown mourners from Democrat Fred Phelps and his Westboro cult from protesting.

I once served a beer to Russell Means. That does not make me an American Indian activist. And I guess, "Mr. knowledgeable about a subject before commenting on it", you're unaware of the fact that convention delegates are not picked by the nominee?
 
Fred Waldron Phelps, Sr. (born November 13, 1929) is an American pastor heading the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), an independent Baptist church based in Topeka, Kansas. Phelps is a disbarred lawyer, founder of the Phelps Chartered law firm, and a former civil rights activist.

Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times. These included races for governor in 1990, 1994, and 1998, receiving about 15 percent of the vote in 1998. In the 1992 Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, Phelps received 31 percent of the vote. Phelps ran for mayor of Topeka in 1993 and 1997.
Support for Al Gore

Phelps supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic Party presidential primary election. In his 1984 Senate race, Gore opposed a "gay bill of rights" and stated that homosexuality was not something that "society should affirm". Phelps has stated that he supported Gore because of these earlier comments. According to Phelps, members of the Westboro Baptist Church helped run Gore's 1988 campaign in Kansas. Phelps' son, Fred Phelps Jr., hosted a Gore fundraiser at his home in Topeka and was a Gore delegate to the 1988 Democratic National Convention.


(Now lets hurry up and change the subject of the thread)

From your beloved Conservapedia;

http://www.conservapedia.com/Fred_Phelps

Criticism of Phelps has been virtually universal within both the conservative and liberal movements. The Reverend Jerry Falwell has called Phelps "a first class nut". Illinois Family Institute Executive Director Peter LaBarbera said "Fred Phelps' curious message is hardly Christian, and only fuels societal bigotry toward those who espouse genuine Biblical views on social issues like homosexuality and abortion,"

No doubt about it, he is primarily motivated by and known for an extreme brand of social conservativism. Who Phelps voted for does not define the whole of the WBC. I am sure many members have other affiliations. Their central ideas are not "left wing" but socially conservative.

Fox is an organization committed to spreading misinfromation.

What he espouses is mainstream teabaggery. And yes, I know that's an oxymoron. :)

Well, I learned something today. From a most unexpected source.

You learned nothing relevant to this thread. Just another red herring from the social conservatives. Fred Phelps past political affiliation has no bearing on whether it is accurate to call the WBC left wing. They are socially conservative and those ideas are more abundant in the right wing. Party affiliation had nothing at all to do with the op. It's just a diversion from a small minded fool who does not think beyond labels and slurs.

I didn't say it was relevant, just that I learned something. Fred Phelps is a Democrat. I had no idea, I just assumed along with most people that he'd be in the American Conservative Party or something stupid. He certainly isn't a republican though, he's way beyond that with protesting soldier's funerals thanking God for their deaths. There isn't a republican around that I have ever seen that supports the nut job.

Just saying "socially conservative" doesn't make him somebody republicans have to claim, they're disgusted by him.
