Loosely translated:
The controvertial American pastor Fred Phelps' visit to Sweden went by unnoticed. According to his parish the visit is already over.
Fred Phelps has become famous by spreading hate propaganda against homosexuals. After the ruling against Åke Green he has among other things said that "God hates Swedes". Phelps was to visit Sweden yesterday to "preach against the king".
"Yes, he's already been there. They held a protest outside the royal castle between 12 and 2 PM on Monday," says Megan Phelps Roper, member of Fred Phelps' bizarre parish, Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas.
Security officials and the royal court were prepared for the visit. But no Fred Phelps has been seen.
"No, we haven't seen or heard from him today," says Ann-Christin Jernberg, press spokesperson at the court.
What lies behind this mystery? Is Phelps too afraid to actually show his face here? Has he become so decadent that he now just claims to protest without actually going there? Is he actually dead and his parish are keeping up pretenses?
Or is it just that no one really cares?
He was last reported wearing that cowboy hat in a gay bar in central Stockholm.
Heh heh heh...
There IS a God afterall!

Doesn't really surpirse me that much. He's much more of a celebrity in the US than he is in Europe. If he had protested, I guess people would have smile at him in a slightly bemused manner and would have walked on...

People in civilized areas don't show concern for ignorant barbarians, they snicker and continue with their day.
That is so weird. There really are no signs of him having been here. So not only do they hate, they lie. Colour me unsurprised.

Mr. Fass, if you see him, could you please kick his ass? Please? :)

maybe he got raped by a gay swedish prince...
I was hoping his no-show was somehow due to his timely death...too bad. Just being a coward and a liar again. Maybe he's afraid of some of the homosexuals would kick his ass up and down the country.

YAY! :D

People like that aren't worth the ruined manicure.
They probably just thought he was some drunken lunatic and passed on by smiling.

... You could beat him with a shoe or something. Make sure it's an old, ugly shoe though because you should burn it when you're done.
Or... I have a better idea. Come onto him. Really. Then when he attacks you, get him arrested. The ultimate revenge - Phelps jailed in Sweden.

You got to hand it to the guy. It's a creative excuse to take a vacation in a place that you've already publicly said God should obliterate.

There are drunks who are more coherent than him...those people should have given him a kick in the nads or two.

We have a surprising low amount of those, not being German and all. There were rumours (and pictures!) about HRH Prince Carl Philip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Carl_Philip%2C_Duke_of_V%C3%A4rmland), the duke of Wermelandia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wermelandia), but his current live-in girlfriend is acting quite the convincing beard (http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=543957). Shame, really. :(

Umm, I'm gay. I have no ugly, old shoes. :p

Nah, he doesn't deserve the publicity and the outcry sure to come from his fellow American fundamentalists, itching for an excuse to attempt to rail on us for being such godless liberals. This is a fitting end to his attention-whoring. It gave us a few laughs at the American Christian right and that's about it.
Interestingly enough, not a word on Phelps' site. It appears the "King of Fags, King of Zoophiles, King of Pedophiles, and King of Incestuous Perverts" has driven off the jackass again.
I agree, time to ignore him. But plunger sodomy followed by death would be a fitting end.

Okay I concede. We'll all just agree to ignore him, and hope he goes away.
...
...either that or trap him in a bathroom and sodomize him with a plunger :p ...
...
Okay okay, we'll ignore his homophobic ass.

My suspicions have been confirmed! Fass isn't gay! If he was gay, he'd know that kicking people ruins the pedicure! :p

I don't have a pedicure. I'm not that gay! Plus, I do taekwondo, so it would be a waste of money.

Really? What belt are you? I used to do it but had to quit when I moved to Cleveland.
I vote this...

Blue with a red stripe. I should actually have been a red with two or three black stripes by now, but I don't have the time to put into the kind of studying and practising that goes into advancing, so I just go because it's fun and a great form of exercise. What was yours?

In our belt system (Ahn Taekwondo Institute) it was navy blue with two black tips. Effectively, I was on the verge of getting my black belt; I had memorized Koryo and was very clost to 1st Dan. I was even taught by Grandmaster Ahn at his main school in Blue Ash, Ohio. (I lived only 2 or 3 miles away)

Mr. Phelps doesn't attack people. He waits until people attack him and then sues everyone within sight.

They really should standardise.

About as Zen as a Midget dressed in violent pink leotards walking down the street and kicking random men in the shins.
