Fred Phelps is the preacher at Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. He runs two websites: God Hates America [www.godhatesamerica.com] and God Hates Fags [www.godhatesfags.com]. Rev. Phelps and his congregation (largely composed of family members) preach hate towards almost everyone, but the brunt of their malevolence is towards homosexuals. The Westboro Baptist Church Gang has protested at the funerals of Matthew Shepard and Al Gore, Sr. They frequently visit towns across the country to picket progressive churches and communities, carrying signs that read "NO TEARS FOR QUEERS", "GOD HATES FAGS", "THANK GOD FOR AIDS", and other equally repugnant phrases.
Below, is a very interesting (and very lengthy) article written about Reverend Fred Phelps. It details how he became the monster that he is now. Much of the information in this article is given from two of Phelps' own children, who have left their father's cult.
* Note that the first part of the article is an introduction and is not very interesting reading. If it seems tedious, skip to the second page. It is much easier reading after this point.

This is the sign in front of Westboro Baptist Church. Fred doesn't seem to be too welcome in Topeka.
I guess what goes around, comes around. He praises violence against gays and I guess that's what comes back to him.

This is the Westboro Baptist Gang at one of their usual protests.

After the 11 September attacks, Phelps and his gang have begun to target
America in addition to homosexuals.
In fact, Phelps created a sister site for
www.godhatesfags.com called
God Hates America!

Topeka residents, of course, are upset about Phelps and his cult
using the city as their base. At almost every protest that Phelps
stages these days, there is a counter-protest.
