Fred Phelps attacks royal family and nation of Sweden

This guy really pisses me off... Because of him, SäPo (safety police, acting as FBI, CIA, NSA and Secret Service) have been alerted and the defense around the king has been tightened. I also imagine he can await a very 'warm' welcome when he starts protesting against the king. Here are just some of the things he´s said:

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a41/DenGamleOchHavet/westboro_tsunami_1230.gif

Article in his church (http://www.godhatessweden.com/html/lawsuit.html)

King Carl Gustaf threatens to sue WBC Pastor for speaking truth about him & his sodomites!

Yes. For a week now Swedish media have been reporting the threat, and WBC has heard from thousands of vile, violent, feces-eating Swedes verifying the threat. For more details - see the websites above AND the Swedish news website, The Local.

This popinjay King of sodomites, whores, zoophiles and molesters - this moral titmouse in the plumage of a peacock - lets his daughter's tits hang out at a Nobel gala while Pastor Ake Green sits in Swedish jail for preaching the truth about fags.

Yet, this wussy King of Fags has the gonads to sit on his not-so-royal ass threatening to sue a Baptist preacher for telling his ugly family the truth about themselves.
"Feces-eating"? This guy has got to be on drugs... Other things reported by swedish media on the subject:

"...[he] also wants to raise a monument to tribute the death of the swedes in the tsunami lasat year <snip>... [It] will be made by ink granite. On the top there will be a wave crashing down on a statue of a pair having intercourse. The pair is according to Phelps swedes getting what they deserve by God"

"Your king is the symbol for your doomed country and we will find him wherever he is...[You] are doomed to hell. All swedes and your swedish king and his family."

Possible, but I can´t help to be offended. He says I should go to hell, he attacks the king (whom I very much like) and more than that, he says it was right a friend of mine got killed by the tsunami.

There is a dark and deeply disgusting place in Hell already reserved for Phelps. It's ready for immediate occupancy. And the staff in Hell is eagerly awaiting his arrival; it's not often they get someone who so thoroughly deserves what they're going to give him.

Phelps is an idiot preacher who runs a website, Godhatesfags.com, and talks about how feces-eating fags should die. then he goes about and says that he loves fags, but just wants them to stop sinning. even though he says that he wants them dead. he also likes to build monuments to the death of people he hates. i have a monuument idea of my own.

I can understand why he is worked up. He is opposing a Swedish law forbidding condemnation of homosexuality, which is immoral, even though I am not anti-gay. However, this by no means justifies the killing of all Swedes. This Phelps character, whoever he is, needs to relax.

Phelps is a hateful little man, with a little mind. Seriously, though he's showing his age (Supposedly he claimed that Bush "Worships Mr. Peanut, and his name is the Great Goober")
He's one character most people can agree on though. *from wikipedia*
"Gay rights activists, as well both mainstream and fundamentalist Christians, have denounced him as a producer of anti-gay propaganda and violence-inspiring hate speech."

I wouldn't mind if the military had an ordinance "accident" over his compound though.

I stood face to face with him not letting him pass at a march in San Diego years ago. It was fun. He is all hot air, but still needs to be watched he can stir it up.

Stop paying attention to him. Neither he, nor Åke Green deserve it.

And to the person who claims there is not free speech in Sweden: I doubt you've ever even been here, if you claim such a thing. Nevertheless, Åke Green was in fact acquitted on appeal (oh, and he was not convicted for saying god hates gay people - he was convicted for calling gays "a cancer upon society" and in so many words agitated against us) in an appellate court. His case will go before the Supreme Court in October.

So, please, do inform yourself in the case before you open your yap next time.

Furthermore, what he said does count as hate speech, which you did admit isn't covered by the 1st Amendment in the US. The hypothetical imam would have been arrested in short order.

"Hate speech" isn't really the term you're looking for -- for the most part, "hate speech" is legal in America but not in other Western countries. Threatening murder or encouraging others to do so is illegal here not because it's hate speech, but because it presents a clear and present danger. It'd be a stretch to apply the clear and present danger argument to Green's comments, if all he said was that gays were a cancer to society.

You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war, and I don’t think any oil shipments will stop.

Bingo! Lotto! You have got it.

The same situation is more or less apparent here. Free speech is a right, but not in so regards extreme hate speech. This shouldn't be tolerated and I'm glad it is not in USA either.

Of course, it's difficult to judge and sometimes it's a fine line balancing these rights and protections.

So let me get this straight. Let us assume X resides in America. If X says he is going to kill the American president, that is illegal. If he says he is going to kill the head of state of the neighboring country, that is alright?

I thought conspiracy to commit murder was an offence anywhere regardless of who you target.

Yeah, a swedish priest (these guys talka lot of BS) once called Muhammed, islams revered prophet, a 'confused pedophile'. He was threatened, but no action was made against him except a few statements.

The 'clear and present danger' test was overturned in 1951. Now they apply the 'imminent lawless action' test.

Ah, alright. Thanks for the information. Although even with that test, I'd have to say "gays are a cancer" is protected speech.

Pastor Ake Green, Fred Phelps, Pat Robertson and the rest of their ilk should take a course in Christianity. If the creator they adore is a perfect creature, incapable of making mistakes, then how do they explain that he has created gay people, and continues to do so? I think that he must like gays! After all, those I know are very nice people. :)

Also, among the victims of the tsunami were many children, even Swedish children. Do those 'spokesmen' for the Christian fundamentalists believe that the creator made a mistake - aimed for gays and got children instead?

Ake Green should spend more than a month in prison for his comments; they are an insult to Christianity, to humanity, to the tsunami victims, to gays, and to non-gays. And I would send the rest of that ilk to prison to keep him company.

In the USA--yes. Nevertheless, Sweden is free to enact standards of hate speech that are different from the American ones.

Phelps is an interesting. I've learned long ago not to take him seriously. I have seen his little minions alot. I live 20 miles from his home. He has protested my church on numerous occasions and my college on an almost weekly basis. I even saw them when I was in DC. It doesn't even seem like they have a point of view their pushing anymore. Whenever I see them their trying to piss people off and to rile them up, not change minds or do anything positive, not that they could with their message of pure hate. The best way to deal with Phelps and his ilk is to ignore them.

He seems like one of thoose people that haved been released from rampton on the Care in Community tand probably insult to them.

Just glad he has made an attack on on Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II yet that would make one loose ones temper

He has. http://www.godhatesfags.com/featured/20050707_subway-bomb.html
He's a cock. I would like to go over there and counter his protests. Maybe get some gay pole dancers to dance provocatively in front of him. Maybe get a streaker (male) to run up and kiss him. It's quite fun thinking how to cause him abject humiliation.

As a sovereign nation, yes, they are. All the same, I think the fact that Green can be locked up in Sweden for such comments (which, by the way, I strongly disagree with) demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what the concept of "free speech" is meant to entail.

I don't really think so. For all purposes he is spreading inciting hatred against a certain section of society- if they were Jews or blacks then he'd be in jail asap. Sweden is very tolerant of..well pretty much everything- except for when it comes to issues that damages its society, like the spreading of hate.

Fair dues to them i say. Phelps should be in jail in the states. He's worse.

So let me get this straight. Let us assume X resides in America. If X says he is going to kill the American president, that is illegal. If he says he is going to kill the head of state of the neighboring country, that is alright?

Correct. :D

I thought conspiracy to commit murder was an offence anywhere regardless of who you target.

That only matters in America. However, advocating the death of another head of state is actually protected here in the United States. For how much longer, I don't know but as of right now, it is perfectly legal to advocate for the assassinatin of any foreign head of state.

Or maybe next time you'll let terrorists into your borders if they say they are just passing through to do their business in another country?

If they are terrorists, they shouldn't be allowed in our country but thanks to the porus borders of Canada and Mexico, they'll get in anyway.

And you wonder why you have far right wing mentally challenged people like Ann Coulter. Hmmm, given how certain viewpoints look at Imams encouraging their followers to bring down America are considered to be terrorrists, conversely, the rest of the world would be able to apply that equally to your own facists no? And since if a government does not crack down on said Imams, they get accused of supporting terrorism, well, you get the idea.

So ergo, America encourages terrorism. They just whitewash it as lunatic priests, rightwingers, etc, etc. But if an Imam takes the place and reverses the role it's "OMG! He's a terrorists bastard! Keelz him!"

Shouldn't be and reality often differ. According to your statements, it's perfectly legal to plot and advocate destruction and death to other people so long as it happens to target other people not in the US, hence why they would be protected. If so, why on earth should other nations bother allowing the US to extradite their criminals then?

Yep! I do get it and I have always gotten it. If Imams are preaching hate here, we'll shut them done too. Don't know if that has happened yet but I haven't heard anything from the Islamic community regarding this so my take on it is that it hasn't happened yet.

So ergo, America encourages terrorism. They just whitewash it as lunatic priests, rightwingers, etc, etc. But if an Imam takes the place and reverses the role it's "OMG! He's a terrorists bastard! Keelz him!"

Treaties. As long as we promise not to put them to death (if its a death penalty offense), we can have them. Frankly, I say if a murderer flees, let that nation keep him. Its one less murderer in our jails and one less person that we're wasting our tax dollars on.

Actually....he is right with that quote. Although he is taking it way out of context. That quote has nothing to do with homosexuality as he is trying to put it with.



And you can figure that out by reading all the lines around it.

Leviticus 18:20-23

20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her. 21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

He is. That's the terrible thing.

then how do they explain that he has created gay people, and continues to do so?

"Gay person" is wrong - "person who chooses to have the buttsecks and eat the faeces of others" is right. Besides, God wanted them that way - gives Him someone to Hate, prove to the Saved that they are Saved.

Also, among the victims of the tsunami were many children, even Swedish children. Do those 'spokesmen' for the Christian fundamentalists believe that the creator made a mistake - aimed for gays and got children instead?

Nope. He slaughtered them all because He's perfect, and they were Reprobate, incapable of being Saved. He chose to kill them at that precise moment in time because... that was His plan. And His plan is right. Because he's fucking GOD! It's that simple.

Ake Green should spend more than a month in prison for his comments; they are an insult to Christianity, to humanity, to the tsunami victims, to gays, and to non-gays. And I would send the rest of that ilk to prison to keep him company.

He's telling the truth! How can you send someone to prison for telling the truth?

Then why is your freedom of speech impeding the right of people to advocate the death of the head of state in said country? More like Limited Freedom of Speech. You can say what you want, as long as we approve it first it seems.


Yep! I do get it and I have always gotten it. If Imams are preaching hate here, we'll shut them done too.


I think you quite misunderstand my point. I did not say that they were in the US. I said that they were in another country, preaching hatred/death against a foreign country, in this case, the US. If that country has freedom of speech, can you really say that what they are doing contradicts it? After all, what they are doing and saying does not directly threaten the country they are in does it?


Believe what you will.


By not prosecuting those who spread hatred and advocate death against certain segments of society, does it not at the very least permit the growth of terrorism? It does not have to be international or political terrorism. Domestic terrorism is also quite a real factor. And those who advocate it can go free?

Let us try a different tangent.

Remember that person responsible for the bombings of women's health clinics? There were those who praised his actions did they not? There were those who advocated more of it, saying that it was right, that the law should be actually working hand in hand with the bomber (I think it was Timmy McVeigh?). Why are those who supported this person not persecuted? After all, they supported domestic terrorism didn't they?


Treaties. As long as we promise not to put them to death (if its a death penalty offense), we can have them. Frankly, I say if a murderer flees, let that nation keep him. Its one less murderer in our jails and one less person that we're wasting our tax dollars on.

So if Sweden wanted this preacher extradited to their country for imprisonment due to his incitement of hate, would you accept it then? He is after all, directly targetting said country with potentially harmful speech and actions (i.e. advocation of violence).
