Fred Phelps is a Liberal.
Thursday, November 1st, 2007Don’t be played by Attorney Fred Phelps and his “family.”
Something strange hit me the first time, about two or three years ago, when I first saw videos online of Fred Phelps and his Westboro Attorney Church. The thought: “America, Media, Conservatives, Patriots, Liberals; you’re being played.” I tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that, yes, the members of WBC are insane… but, not in the way you think. I make the statement now, one which many of you will find crazy. FRED PHELPS AND THE WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH ARE A GROUP OF FAR LEFTISTS ATTEMPTING TO MOCK THE CONSERVATIVE RIGHT IN AMERICA. And everybody is eating out of their hands.
The group are very good at what they do. Rattling cages. They have you all worked up so much that you can’t see throught their very obvious agenda. They paint a cartoon of American conservatives: “God lovin’, fag hatin’, hate lovin’ intolerants.” They present the picture that religious conservatives are so full of hate and prejudice that they’d even go so far as to blame America for military deaths, mine collapses and everything else because of the “scourge” of homosexuality the nation is embracing. I beg you to look closer at them. Look at them through indifferent eyes. Watch their videos. Guys, it’s all an act. A bad act. Please don’t take their bate.
Sure they are crazy. Crazy to push their extreme leftist agenda so far… but, they are not what they seem. They weave a tangled web, for sure. They are protesting troops funerals (typical anti-war leftist agenda) on the grounds of free speech (similar to trials Phelps took part in as a civil rights attorney) and now they are smearing Fred Thompson, saying he once held their beliefs. They are doing what they can to make the religious right look bad.
Uncovering the truth and leftist origins of the Westboro Baptist Church.

Who are they: One Big Happy Family:
Sky News claims that WBC consists of “about 150 members”. BBC Two claims there are 71 members. A compilation of the names of Phelps’ grandchildren and great-grand-children, combined with his nine “loyal” children and their spouses, though, numbers 90 Individuals who followed Phelps Sr. after he was voted out of his old congregation, Eastside
Baptist Church (a traditional Baptist church), consisted of the Hockenbargers (whose offspring later married into the Phelps clan), George Stutzman, Chris Davis (who also married into the Phelps clan) and Theresa Davis (whose relationship, if any, to Chris Davis is unknown).
Leader/Founder Fred Phelps. Who is he? A Former Civil Rights Attorney. From wikipedia
Chartered law firm in 1964. The first notable cases were of a civil rights nature. “I systematically brought down the Jim Crow laws of this town,” he says.[10] Phelps’ daughter was quoted as saying, “We took on the Jim Crow establishment, and Kansas did not take that sitting down. They used to shoot our car windows out, screaming we were nigger lovers,” and that the Phelps law firm made up one-third of the state’s federal docket of civil-rights cases.[13] Â
Phelps took cases on behalf of African American clients alleging discrimination by school systems, and a predominately black American Legion post which had been raided by police, alleging racially-based police abuse. Phelps’ law firm obtained settlements for some clients.[14] Phelps also sued then-President Ronald Reagan over Reagan’s appointment of a U.S. ambassador to the Vatican, alleging this violated separation of church and state. The case was dismissed by the U.S. district court.[14] Phelps’ law firm, staffed by himself and family members also represented non-white Kansans in discrimination actions against Kansas Power and Light, Southwestern Bell, and the Topeka City Attorney, and represented two female professors alleging discrimination in Kansas universities.[13]
In the 1980s Fred Phelps received awards from the Greater Kansas City Chapter of Blacks in Government and the Bonner Springs branch of the NAACP for his work on behalf of black clients.[15]
Phelps Chartered also won one of the first reverse discrimination cases
Democrat Candidate:
Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but has never won. These included races for governor in 1990, 1994, and 1998, receiving about 15% of the vote in 1998.[34] In the 1992 Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, Phelps received 31% of the vote [35] Phelps ran for mayor of Topeka in 1993 [36] and 1997.
