Those nuts from Topeka, the Fred Phelps-led Westboro Baptist "Church" have not stopped showing up at soldier's funerals claiming that "God Hates Fags" because of American toleration of homosexuality. They've sent on open letter to former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-TN), who is now a presidential candidate. In the 1980s, Thompson replaced Phelps' daughter Margie and won a legal case for that "church," whose headquarters is pictured on the left.
In a recently published Westboro flyer, the "church" claims Thompson "saw eye to eye" with the Phelps group back then.
Now that he's running for president, Westboro is stating that "We certainly hope you haven't changed your mind about the dangers the homosexual threat presents."
Thompson's a lawyer, and won a case for Phelps' group. Memories fade and become fuzzy over the years. Besides, the Westboro bunch has its share of, shall I say, eccentrics.
In response, the Thompson campaign referre do them as "radical fringe group."
