Terrorists for Falwell

Diary of a Terrorist. Mark David "Mighty Warrior" Uhl wanted to napalm the Westborough Baptist Church protests of Jerry Falwell's funeral...

How come it has taken so long for anyone to go after Fred Phelps? It would seem that his self-hating, poorly closeted homosexuality and accompanying homophobia should be enough for someone to take a swing at him by now, but it never happened. His ghoulish funeral protests always seemed like a pretty potent catalyst for violent counter-reactions -- if not from the gay community (as accustomed as they are, to being hounded by religious nutcases), at least from the military community and their supporters.

President Bush has responded with the Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act, to prevent the latter from happening. Pretty predictable.

The gays and the military never came after Phelps and his ilk. It wasn't until they dared go up against OTHER religious nutcases, that this happened. That says a lot...
