A well written and clever piece, Susanna, especially with such a difficult song. Boy, is Fred getting a (deserved) hiding!!! 555

sure is - as a non-American I'm not familiar with his evil - but that seems to be the consensus

i never heard of this phelps guy (am new here) but this parody applies to all hate mongers...555

I agree whole heartedly that Phelps is totally evil. Here in Wyoming, he's made several stops and held many rallies here...since the Matthew Shepard murder. He was supposed to be here last weekend...but cancelled at the last minute.

Still...I stumbled on pacing several times...and I just couldn't get into this one. I didn't vote...

I don't remember more than the chorus of the song myself, so I'm taking Arwen's word as a pacing expert. Still, turning the original on its head this way is pretty clever and the message is accurate enough: 4-5-5.

Song with a (yawn) message... zzzzzz.

Oh, Toto, I don't think Fred Phelps is in Kansas anymore! And Arwen, if that SOB ever does show his disgusting face in Wyoming... Ride him, Cowboys! (And I mean "ride" in the bench-jockeying sense, though the other way would be poetic justice.)

I know several of those Finnish crackers who defaced his web site some years ago. Most of the attackers were either HUT or University of Helsinki geeks, and many of them were reserve officers trained for electronic warfare. As a funny side detail: when they attacked, they used the character names of Väinö Linna's novel "The Unknown Soldier", a fiction novel of second world war, which is familiar to almost all Finns. But Rev. Phelps might have had tough time to find out who those Corporal Rokka, Lieutenant Koskela, Private Salo and other defacers actually were...

I think cracking his web site and replacing each and every page with the Finnish flag - the very same he threatened to come to burn in front of our presidential residence - was a good reminder that some people may get pissed off if he continues to behave naughtily.

Joe and Stuart: check out http://www.godhatesfags.com and http://blank.org/addict - Fred Phelps is a priest who represents Calvinism in its most perverted, disgusting, extremist and fanatical form. He is a universal hatemonger, and fulfills all the distinctive characters of psychopath diagnosis. Basically his image of God is what we usually imagine Satan to be. Even Jerry Falwell described him as a "loonie". Just imagine the Christian version of Osama bin Laden, and you get close.

Michael...he's been here SEVERAL times. He generally comes in the fall...usually around the anniversary of Matthew's death. He was here RIGHT after the murder, and was on campus for several days. I had to walk through them every day. I think the hardest part for me was seeing the little kids...we're talking, like 5 and 6 year olds...holding up his hate propagranda. It really was the most horrible display that I've ever seen. Subsequent visits...(for the trials and even since...simply to produce general dischord)...they've been at the Court House...or it was when I was living in Utah...so...I haven't had much chance to kick his ass. Not that I wouldn't try, given the opportunity.

Good song...one question: Why in the world was this guy threatening to burn a Finnish flag? I don't know that I've ever heard anyone "against" Finland.

I can't believe I said "propagranda." My mistake. I'm so stupid. Sorry kiddies!

Darn right that all he preaches is hate! Why would anybody want to follow him anyway?! ...well, thank goodness he's going to pay for this. I believe in reincarnation; may he come back as one of the peoples that he's targeted, make him see how it feels.

Nice work, Susanna - 5's. At first I couldn't place the name "Fred Phelps"...thought maybe it was a reference to an "inside joke" until I came over here and got reminded of what a nasty, small-minded, bigoted *sshole he is. So NOW I do remember him. Diddims - Or maybe as a the next Black Widow spider Arwen smooshes...I think THAT would be more fitting. Then, AFTER THAT, he could come back as one of the people he has targeted. The short stint as the subject on the receiving end of Arwen's "Hand Of Justice" would just be to let him KNOW what an *sshole he had been...

Jeff, it happened that when our current President, Tarja Halonen, was elected 2001, she had worked as the lawyer of SETA, Finnish lesbigay organization, in her youth, and she is very pro-minority. The spark was that one Finnish geek wiped his butt on a religious debate, and after hearing Halonen's election and past, he threatened to come here and burn our flag in the front of our presidential residence as a protest. In the end the Finnish authorities convinced that their safety could not have been guaranteed, and they gave the protest up.

During Halonen's period the gay marriages have been legalized, and also the medical and judicial treatment of transsexuals has been standardized. While the gay marriage isn't marriage per sé (you cannot have a religious wedding ceremony, since almost all religions recognize marriage as relationship between a man and a woman) , it is judicially comparable to marriage in all respect. Likewise, transsexualism is now considered as a medical condition and not a sexual deviation amongst the authorities.

Diddims, as I said, the thing Phelps most fears that Jesus comes one day back, and this time she is a black dyke.

Susanna, thanks! And again, good job!

Susanna, thanks for dredging up this SOB's name once again so we know who we should be denigrating. Like Paul, I'd forgotten all about him. It's sad to realize that someone from our shores could be so (deservedly) infamous in other countries.

We had a case similar to this in Australia, nearly 2 years ago. In Perth, some arsehole with a German sounding surname (Australian-Born) who is head of a extreame right wing group similar to the KKK, got arreasted for vandilising and grafiting Synogoges, Mosques and Asian restaurants. It sounds like bigoted white men are everywhere!!!!

Every little bit helps. I made a much less sophisticated rant as a parody of Green Day's "Ha Ha You're Dead" on this site. I'm with you guys in WY, and when he shows up here in NC for Billy Graham's funeral, I'll be waiting.

haha great parody. I couldnt agree w/ u more- phelps is not a christian! at all! lol, imagine his suprise when HE ends up in hell! (oh and 5-5-5- ratings to the song)

I just stumbled upon this. Just like trashTrump, he preached and practiced hatred. And incest, his WBC is/was a cult of inbreds. Douchebag TraitorTrump has his daughter for his wife. What has really changed? And FTR, Phelps has come to my home state of Ohio several times, trying to disrupt veteran funerals. Sometimes the Foo Fighters would arrive (before a show) to chase those hypocrite scum away.
