It’s not entirely surprising that professional funeral-picketing bigot Fred Phelps has decided to picket the funerals of the Amish girls killed by a gunman earlier this week. His daughter explains:
Those Amish people, everyone is sitting around talking about those poor little girls — blah, blah, blah — they brought the wrath upon themselves,” Phelps-Roper said, adding that the Amish “don’t serve God, they serve themselves.”
Ok. But the Phelps’ hijinks are hardly shocking at this point. They’re attention-whores to the max, and most people, I think, have figured out that the best strategy is to just ignore them.
Fox News isn’t going that route — instead, they’re offering Phelps and his crew an hour of airtime on Mike Gallagher’s radio show.
