Right wingers hate Fred Phelps too

I found out about Fred Phelps latest sicko campaign from right-wing Newsmax.

Phelps is now targeting soldiers funerals and saying they deserved to die, since we have brought on the wrath of God by endorsing homosexuality and whatever else.

So i think we can agree, MOST human beings find Phelps and his gang to be reprehensible people. Phelps does not embody the Christian right, most of whom have no use for him or his politics. Too many liberals i think would like to conflate Phelps with Christians or Republicans in general (just like they think we are all pat robertson lovers). Let's not make that mistake. You can oppose gay marriage but still think Phelps is an asshole of the highest order, as NewsMax clearly does.
