Have to admit I found the grotesque hate speech in Mike’s really good post to be comically funny – at least from a Ten Commandments’ perspective.

Let’s face it, Fred Phelps is a serious violator of the the Top Ten.

And he is a serial violator of the specific Commandant in the Top Ten dealing with “shall not misuse the Lord’s name/shall not misrepresent the Lord etc. etc. . . ”

Just how many times in his Vermont missive did he spike the “name in vain” offense?  Let’s rack’um up – points on his pastor’s license in italics:

You hate God’s standards, and He hates you!

Check

God hates you, Doomed america, for what you have done to your children!  . . . God gave you vilent, freakish, worthless, brute-beast children!  You hate your children, and next, YOU WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN.  

Your antichrist, seated in the White House as the result of your sins, will pass a decree saying you MUST eat your children! (NOTE: probably applies to taking the “Antichrist’s name in vain too”)

Check.

GOD HATES VERMONT.

Check (and all caps name in vain too!).

Because you refuse to repent and return to the God of your covenant, He’ll cause the nations to march on Jerusalem, to afflict Jewry as never before, & you will eat your children.

Check.

God killed fags in Tel Aviv.

FAG-INFESTED WHOREMONGERS PIMPING FOR A SODOMITE BROTHEL MASQUERADING AS A LEGISLATURE. PICKET THE STATE HOUSE AND THE CITY CLERK’S SAME SEX MARRIAGE LICENSE MILL. THE STENCH OF VERMONT – AS WITH SODOM – HAS REACHED THE NOSTRILS OF AN ANGRY GOD.  Gen. 18:20,21.

Check? No Check.  

I just really liked the part about “Brothel masquerading Legislature” and “God’s nostrils” picking up on what we’re doing in Vermont as I sit here typing – windows open – on the day virtually every farmer in Central Vermont is spreading manure since we’ve just had enough days to finally bring in the hay.

Guess you kinda’ have to be here.
