&lt;div&gt;==No linking to Phelps's web sites==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They are not family appropriate, and Conservapedia is not a repository of hate speech. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 17:04, 16 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
: Would it be reasonable to add the prohibition of making and linking to hate speech one of the commandments? --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 17:21, 16 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:: I think that's an excellent idea. I suggest bringing it up either on Aschlafly's Talk Page or Talk:Conservapedia Commandments. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 17:22, 16 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
: I did not know that I shouldn't have linked to his websites.  However, could you please put into the opening paragraph that Fred Phelps' mission is against homosexuality?  As it is, this important fact is not mentioned until halfway down the page.  [[User:CEinhorn|CEinhorn]] 19:33, 16 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:Will do. In fact, I'm going to unprotect this. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 22:55, 16 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surely the main authority on Phelps's teachings in Phelps himself? His sites should be linked to. I suggest doing so as plain text, not a clickable link, and alongside a warning notice.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Discussion of subject==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm going to tentatively leave this in place, although it was intended to make Christians look bad by the original creator, he is a major news figure because of his funeral protests, and his actions have prompted major legislation regarding these (and he is also a major embarrassment to my home state, as well as a DEMOCRAT who actually campaigned for Al Gore in 1988 before he went on his anti-homosexual crusade).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, I drove by his &amp;quot;church&amp;quot; once and I got a physical chill once I got within two blocks of it. I felt like I was in a place of true evil. Interestingly, the ZIP codes in Topeka, where he lives, all start with 666.  [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 03:26, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I just moved it because it was under &amp;quot;Fred phelps,&amp;quot; and the lack of proper capitalization was bothering me. I like to copy edit. :-p [[User:ColinR|ColinR]] 03:29, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you looked at the original article as it was written, it contained some crude language. But thanks for working on the capitalization. It bothers me as well when articles are started like that.  [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 03:30, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I agree with you completely. I didn't want to bother with the article at the time, and I'm glad someone else did. [[User:ColinR|ColinR]] 03:32, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On a more humorous note, [http://www.barzelay.net/files/images/other/phelps.jpg this] was taken outside of Vandy when Phelps came to visit. [[User:ColinR|ColinR]] 03:52, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I saw that picture for sale in a liberal store downtown once. It's so funny.&lt;br /&gt;
One of Phelps's lackeys told my friend that his hair was too long once. (I live about 25 miles from Topeka, so we get a lot of him.) [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 03:51, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:But everyone knows, Jesus doesn't like long hair... [[User:ColinR|ColinR]] 03:52, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
::::This man makes me question the First Amendment, he is just that much of a evil being.--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 03:54, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know. His speech is beyond reasonable and just disgusting. I would guess that a majority of Kansans would support his execution. &lt;br /&gt;
And Colin, you may be thinking of Paul :) [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 03:55, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know the feeling. I'm a huge believer in the importance of the First Amendment, especially free speech, but what he says is just so ridiculous it's hard to believe it's technically allowed. And MD, I was mostly referring to the fact that most men of Jesus' time had &amp;quot;longer&amp;quot; hair. [[User:ColinR|ColinR]] 04:03, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That's what I thought. I don't like to judge other Christians' salvation, but I have to make an exception here for old Freddie. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 04:05, 13 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: OK, I saw you reverted the article back after I added content about the extent of his hate speach.  There needs away for this to be stated, especially if you are going to allow the b.s. about militant homosexuals on the page.  Otherwise this article makes him come across as less insane than he is.--[[User:Jack|Jack]] 18:04, 18 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I agree. I just don't think that the word &amp;quot;fag&amp;quot; is appropriate for an article on this site. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 20:05, 18 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::: The hate crimes against Fred Phelps section is uncited b.s. and I think it should be deleted unless someone can give any evidence beyond Phelps' own paranoia and delusional rantings.  I'm doing you a favor--Fred Phelps is not your friend. --[[User:Jack|Jack]] 11:02, 19 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::: I'm also taking out the Al Gore contributions part since that isn't cited either. --[[User:Jack|Jack]] 11:04, 19 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Liberal Edits by Jack ==&lt;br /&gt;

please push your liberal views in an article about yourself.  This article is about Fred Phelps views, not yours. [[User:RightWolf2|RightWolf2]] 13:01, 19 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Ummmm, liberal views? You say that as if it was a bad thing.  One of the commandments here is that claims need to be properly sourced.  This article is certainly making a lot of excuses regarding one of the most abhorrant men in America today.  He goes to military funerals with signs that say &amp;quot;God Hates F*gs&amp;quot;.  That is an objective, well documented fact.  However, the sysops delete it from the main page.  However, completely unsubstantiated claims by Phelps that HE is the victim of hate crimes is allowed to be left up.  --[[User:Jack|Jack]] 22:05, 19 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::The subject of an article and their public statements are reliable sources for an article.   Phelps is preaching the literal statements of the Bible.  In fact, he is at the most extreme end of the spectrum with the limits of free speech I have ever seen.   The article is about his views and him.   And he is certainly notable. [[User:RightWolf2|RightWolf2]] 22:16, 19 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::RightWolf2, please stop editing the article to claim that Phelps is &amp;quot;literally following the Bible&amp;quot;, and please stop attacking Jack.  [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 02:36, 20 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::1.  Not an attack, but a statement of my views.  2. When admins and their buddies start forming cabals to reinforce each other, free editing goes out the window.  3.  I am over 60 years old, I am a competent attorney, and I am not here to rain on anyones parade.  Just to add God's word.  4.  Your views of Phelps are &amp;quot;your views&amp;quot;.

Is Fred Phelps' church the inspiration for the Landover Baptist Church website that mocks Christian Extremism?--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 15:57, 21 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 17:53, 22 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Phelps, although outspoken and outlandish, is far less of a hypocrite than other Christian organizations who claim to be able to determine which verses from the Bible are literal from those that are allegorical.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wow. QED. [[User:Tmtoulouse|Tmtoulouse]] 02:19, 25 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all respect to the fact that it shouldn't be stated on an encyclopedia, Phelps probably is going to Hell. -'''&amp;lt;font color=&amp;quot;#007FFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Ames&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font color=&amp;quot;#FF0000&amp;quot;&amp;gt;G&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;'''&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;[http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:AmesG yo!]&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; 00:42, 31 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Phelps is PRO-FAMILY, not anti-homosexual==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There's a reason Dr. Dobson called his institution &amp;quot;Focus on the Family&amp;quot; and not &amp;quot;We Hate Gays&amp;quot;.  There's a reason that it's called the &amp;quot;Family Research Council&amp;quot;.  The people who oppose the homosexual agenda are PRO-FAMILY, not anti-anything.  Even the mainstream media generally recognizes this fact and ignore the moonbats (just like they ignore the moonbats when the moonbats try to label &amp;quot;PRO-lifers&amp;quot; as &amp;quot;ANTI-choicers&amp;quot;).  Even the mainstream media (which has been proven to be overwhelmingly liberal, remember) doesn't call Dr. Dobson a bigot or a homophobe.  So why shouldn't Conservapedia, which was created to espouse the CONSERVATIVE point of view, reflect what even liberals acknowledge?--[[User:Ashens|Ashens]] 02:38, 25 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phelps isn't a true conservative. He says Bush is going to burn in hell. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 02:39, 25 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Jeeze, conservatives aren't brainless clones who can't disagree!  I strongly disagree with Phelps on this matter, but that doesn't make him a non-conservative!  Besides, the issue isn't whether or not he's conservative, the issue is his PRO-FAMILY &amp;quot;bias&amp;quot;!--[[User:Ashens|Ashens]] 02:46, 25 March 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:I agree with Terry, but as I've learned from much debating with christians, the argument doesn't work.

&lt;br /&gt;
Phelps is not pro-family, he's pro-hate. There's a difference. His websites are not family-friendly, his sermons are not, nor are his &amp;quot;hymns&amp;quot;, and neither are his images. --[[User:Linus M.|Liπus the Turbogeek]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:Linus M.|contact me]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 11:54, 7 April 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does Phelps stand for, _besides_ hating gays?  That seems to be his one schtick. And by all accounts, he psychologically and physically abused his OWN family, which doesn't sound too 'pro-family' to me.  [http://blank.org/addict/] (Court evidence--not for the weak of stomach.)  --[[User:Gulik3|Gulik3]] 07:56, 21 May 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If what you say is true, then &amp;quot;pro-family&amp;quot; must oppose homosexuals becasue they asume that homosexuals are &amp;quot;anti-family&amp;quot;. That is not true, it's not the desire of homosexual people to wreck family, they just want personal freedom to have the kind of living arangement they choose. The only reason they have gathered together is because it's their common cause to get that freedom for themselves. I'm pretty certain that if they had those rights, they would leave everyone else alone. &lt;br /&gt;
Homosexuals don't suggest that everyone should be homosexual, that would be stupid, they just want the right to live their lives as they want to, not bothering anyone, and not being bothered by anyone. If God (if he exists) dislikes it it's solely up to him to judge, none of us are entitled to do that. --[[User:Atkins|Atkins]] 23:45, 24 June 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

It seems that whoever said that in the first place was being a parodist. We definitely don't stand for Phelps's hate here in Kansas, or here at Conservapedia. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 23:50, 24 June 2007 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

This page mention nothing about the sick twisted and evil nature of Fred Phelps and his family cult.

&lt;div&gt;'''Media Matters for America''' is an ultra-liberal organization with members in major media outlets which aims to highlight what it considers conservative misinformation in mass media organizations. Primarily, they target prominent conservative public figures, although Democrats and nonpersonalities are frequently criticized as well.  They were instrumental in lobbying for the firing of [[Don Imus]] &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.aim.org/special_report/5390_0_8_0_C/ How Hillary's Hit Man Got Imus], Cliff Kincaid, April 17, 2007. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, whom they considered a moderate who endorsed John Kerry for president in 2004.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://hotair.com/archives/2007/04/17/video-tammy-bruce-exposes-far-left-outlets-hit-list-on-everyone-to-their-right/ Video: Tammy Bruce exposes far-left outlets’ hit list on everyone to their right,] ''FOX News'', April 17, 2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Media Matters since 2004 has monitored conservative media and attacked high-profile conservatives with provocative language and out-of-context [[quote mining]]. It is headed by [[David Brock]], a former conservative who claims he made up stories about such people as [[Anita Hill]], who charged Supreme Court Justice [[Clarence Thomas]] with sexual harassment during Thomas’s confirmation hearings.  Brock developed a relationship in the 1990s with then-First Lady [[Hillary Clinton]]'s press aide, [[Neel Lattimore]], and came out of the closet, announcing he was a [[homosexual]] and joining the [[liberal]] cause. Brock later hired Lattimore at Media Matters as director of &amp;quot;special projects.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brock is a self-proclaimed fabricator of lies who strong-armed sources that didn’t agree with him. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=20711 Media Matters: Defaming Journalists, Getting Sued], by Catherine Moy, ''Human Events'', 05/15/2007. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  While writing ''Blinded by the Right'' &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1058/is_23_119/ai_94639741/pg_1 Slime-master: inside the `vast right-wing conspiracy' - Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative] - Book Review, Christian Century,  Nov 6, 2002  by Gary Dorrien.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, Brock was hospitalized in a mental facility where he spent time in a &amp;quot;quiet room&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;had delusions, he thought people were trying to kill him,&amp;quot; according to the Drudge Report. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Moy, ''Human Events''. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brock outlined his lies and conversion to liberalism in his 2002 book, ''Blinded By The Right.'' He launched Media Matters in 2004 after conferring with [[Hillary Clinton]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“David Brock has invented a new form of political organization: a tax-exempt group that is subsidized by taxpayers while Brock gets to spew his hate/smears,” said Anthony “Andy” Martin, a journalist suing Brock &amp;amp; Media Matters for defamation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Jamison Foser]] is described on the Media Matters website as having &amp;quot;served as Research Director at the [[Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee]] (DCCC) for the 2002 cycle&amp;quot; and is one of several staffers with connections to the faction of Democratic Party linked to the Clintons. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Media Matters for America''' is an ultra-liberal organization with members in major media outlets which aims to highlight what it considers conservative misinformation in mass media organizations. Primarily, they target prominent conservative public figures, although Democrats and nonpersonalities are frequently criticized as well.  They were instrumental in lobbying for the firing of [[Don Imus]] &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.aim.org/special_report/5390_0_8_0_C/ How Hillary's Hit Man Got Imus], Cliff Kincaid, April 17, 2007. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, whom they considered a moderate who endorsed John Kerry for president in 2004.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://hotair.com/archives/2007/04/17/video-tammy-bruce-exposes-far-left-outlets-hit-list-on-everyone-to-their-right/ Video: Tammy Bruce exposes far-left outlets’ hit list on everyone to their right,] ''FOX News'', April 17, 2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Media Matters since 2004 has monitored conservative media and attacked high-profile conservatives with provocative language and out-of-context [[quote mining]]. It is headed by [[David Brock]], a former conservative who claims he made up stories about such people as [[Anita Hill]], who charged Supreme Court Justice [[Clarence Thomas]] with sexual harassment during Thomas’s confirmation hearings.  Brock developed a relationship in the 1990s with then-First Lady [[Hillary Clinton]]'s press aide, [[Neel Lattimore]], and came out of the closet, announcing he was a [[homosexual]] and joining the [[liberal]] cause. Brock later hired Lattimore at Media Matters as director of &amp;quot;special projects.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brock is a self-proclaimed fabricator of lies who strong-armed sources that didn’t agree with him. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=20711 Media Matters: Defaming Journalists, Getting Sued], by Catherine Moy, ''Human Events'', 05/15/2007. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  While writing ''Blinded by the Right'' &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1058/is_23_119/ai_94639741/pg_1 Slime-master: inside the `vast right-wing conspiracy' - Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative] - Book Review, Christian Century,  Nov 6, 2002  by Gary Dorrien.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, Brock was hospitalized in a mental facility where he spent time in a &amp;quot;quiet room&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;had delusions, he thought people were trying to kill him,&amp;quot; according to the Drudge Report. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Moy, ''Human Events''. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brock outlined his lies and conversion to liberalism in his 2002 book, ''Blinded By The Right.'' He launched Media Matters in 2004 after conferring with [[Hillary Clinton]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“David Brock has invented a new form of political organization: a tax-exempt group that is subsidized by taxpayers while Brock gets to spew his hate/smears,” said Anthony “Andy” Martin, a journalist suing Brock &amp;amp; Media Matters for defamation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Jamison Foser]] is described on the Media Matters website as having &amp;quot;served as Research Director at the [[Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee]] (DCCC) for the 2002 cycle&amp;quot; and is one of several staffers with connections to the faction of Democratic Party linked to the Clintons. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glenn Thrush of ''Newsday'' has reported very close ties between Brock and the [[Hillary Clinton machine]], even noting that Hillary &amp;quot;advised Brock&amp;quot; on creating his organization. He added, &amp;quot;For her part, Clinton's extended family of contributors, consultants and friends has played a pivotal role in helping Media Matters grow from a $3.5 million start-up in 2004 to its current $8.5 million budget.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.aim.org/aim_report/5541_0_4_0_C/ AIM Report: Hillary's Hit Man Strikes Again], Accuracy in Media, June 19, 2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; While speaking at a [[Daily Kos]] event; Hillary bragged about her role in &amp;quot;institutions that I helped to start and support like Media Matters and Center for American Progress.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[http://newsbusters.org/node/16046/print Hillary Clinton Told YearlyKos Convention She Helped Start Media Matters]&amp;quot; News Busters, October 1st, 2007&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
