Fuck Fred Phelps

Let's put it this way -- if there really is a God, and He has anything other than blistering contempt for puling fucks like Phelps and his inbred cult, why would anyone want to be on His side?

The father of a marine killed in Iraq was awarded nearly $11 million in damages on Wednesday. A jury found leaders of a fundamentalist church had invaded the family’s privacy and inflicted emotional distress when they picketed the marine’s funeral.

....

The defense said it would appeal. A church leader, Shirley Phelps-Roper, said members would still picket the funerals. Church members say American deaths in Iraq are punishment for tolerating homosexuality.

There's something to be said for justice being served with a swift and severe ass-kicking, but for some reason that hasn't happened yet. Here's hoping.
