When you're a whack job like Fred Phelps and his family/congreation at Westboro Baptist Church, you've set the bar so low that you're the only one who could possibly lower it.
Amazingly, I believe they're getting ready to do just that.
According to the church's website, they plan on protesting outside Rev. Jerry Falwell's funeral next Tuesday. If you're like me, you probably find that surprising. I surmised they would have had more views in common than those on which they disagreed, but apparently Falwell wasn't quite stringent enough in his bigotry to satisfy the folks at Westboro:
On its Web site, Westboro says it will "preach" outside the funeral "of the corpulent false prophet Jerry Falwell, who spent his entire life prophesying lies and false doctrines like 'God loves everyone.'"
In attacking Falwell the church says he "warmly praised Christ-rejecting Jews, pedophile-condoning Catholics, money-grubbing compromisers, practicing fags like Mel White (of Souflorce), and backsliders like Billy Graham and Robert Schuler, etc."
We all should aspire to being a "backslider" like Billy Graham.
Here is a related story from the Fort-Worth (TX) Star-Telegram that tells the story of the funeral the Westboro cult skipped so they could get to Falwell's.

After having the misfortune to meet Fred Phelps a few years back, NOTHING he does surpises me. He's a sick man who will do anything for publicity. I have a feeling that one day not so far in the future, more than one of his so-called church members will come out with the truth that he is a madman masquarading as a preacher.

I couldn't get to Lynchburg to kick their asses. When they come to Charlotte for Billy Graham's funeral, I'll be waiting.
