I agree with you that most pitbulls are sweet-natured and certainly not crazy. However, as we’ve seen lately in the news, there are unfortunately so-and-sos who, whether for o’erweening love of money or even worse vices, breed pitbulls solely for the arena, raise them in horrifying ways to ready them for the ring, then pit them against other dogs, punishing them for failing to vanquish their opponents with everything from beatings to death by electrocution. Puppies subject to that sort of chronic child-abuse — and make no mistake, that’s exactly what it is — expectably go off the beam one way or another. Those that survive this sort of ongoing horror-story in a physical sense may actually attain adult proportions and strength, but mentally they are severely emotionally unbalanced, and because they are trained to attack opponents, may go for the throat of anyone around them, canine, human, or otherwise. Phelps’ followers may actually have come from the human equivalent of such horrific child-rearing practices, in which case one can feel very, very sorry for them — but if one were wise, one would avoid them like the plague, as well. Even if they didn’t, somehow Phelps has turned them into attack-things, doing their attacking at his beck and call. Not good.

Yael, I agree with much of what you say except I really do take issue with the statement about a stable full of crazy human pitbulls.

I had made this post before which is somewhat related to my feelings on said statement: http://depletedcranium.com/?p=87

But I really think that’s a bit insulting to all the good natured pitbulls out there. Comparing Phelps followers to any breed… is kinda insulting to the breed.

I mean, even the worst cases of agressive dogs who attack people. The dogs attack generally because they are socially unbalanced or scared or think they have to defend teritory. They don’t attack just to be a douchebag. Which IMHO puts just about all species above these guys…

There’s another thing about Phelps that comes out occasionally in the news: in general, he loves to sue people over everything and nothing, things that have nothing in particular with his and his followers’ “anti-queer” campaign. He was an attorney until he got disbarred, so he can prepare all his own papers and brief, and he sends his targets notice of one or another of his suits, assuming they’ll cave in immediately and pay him whatever he wants to keep him from pressing the suit in an out-of-court settlement. Lawsuits can be ruinously expensive, and nobody really wants to go through with such a suit if they don’t have to and it looks like the one doing the suing has a case. But people who’ve been his targets in the past got together and compared notes, and it turned out he never has a good case against the people he tries to sue. So they let everyone else know about it, and now people are defying him to go through with his lawsuits, which never hold water, and, if they go to court, always get tossed out. So the avenues he has exploited in the past to make money via extortion are closing off, which may put him out of that business for good.

However, that said, Phelps and his followers are still scary, psychologically speaking. When I looked at their website, http://www.godhatesamerica.com/, it was like a look straight into hell. Those peope live to hate and live on hate, and are joyously in love with every sort of cruelty and viciousness, keeping themselves in a state of endless raw, intensely sexualized exhileration through hate. People like that keep themselves in a continuous erotic frenzy by pumping themselves up until their bodies are loaded with adrenaline, cortisone, and testosterone or progesterone, keeping themselves permanently stoned on cruelty and hate, and in that state they’re capable of damn near anything, however violent or destructive. Phelps is an evil man, but what he’s got there is a stable full of crazy human pitbulls, and if they ever turn on *him*, it may be his end. You have to wonder: as a child, did Phelps torture, maim, and murder small animals, and set fires all over his neighborhood? Were his followers like that as children? These are potentially very dangerous people — let’s hope that they give up their vicious career soon, because otherwise they could do some truly horrific violence to others.

Yael Dragwyla points out a sad truth that unfortunately applies to most ‘protest movements’ active to-day. They have become cash-cows for the people at the top who are only interested in keeping the membership at a fever pitch so that the donations (or extortion, as Yael mentioned) keeps flowing.

The pathetic Fred Phelps is cut from the same cloth as Greenpeace, PETA, and others. Even MADD is run by men who are obviously not mothers and are out only to collect a regular paycheck.

The ultimate solution to this is to rewrite tax laws that allow these organizations to operate. Yes, there are a few legitimate charities left, but they should welcome a more stringent approval system as it would probably mean that more donations would be forthcoming if people like me would know our money is working as we intended.

hmmm… a very good point. I can what you’re saying. I respect freedom of speech and don’t really advocate violence (even if those jackasses deserve it), but if I was at the funeral of a family member who was just killed and saw those idiots provoking that bull, I really don’t know that I’d be able to control myself. It’s hard to blame people in such a state of loss and desperation for lashing out if at such blatant crap like that.

But that’s worth noting, that it should be recognized that they want to be attacked so they should sue. By the same token, while an angry response might be what they want, I do also hope they get sued left and right and completely sapped dry.

I don’t know what Felps has going on in his little mind, but I think it’s pretty obvious that some of the most vocal supporters do actually believe this warped insane repulsive message.

Really, I just hope Felps will die soon and the cause with him. And hopefully the more vocal followers will as well. Is it wrong to wish death on one like that? Eh, maybe. But he’s an extreme example of someone from whom no good can really come for the world in general. We’d all just be better off if he would croak.

Actually, here’s something even better than a counter-protest to take the starch out of the bastards’ sails: all those “anti-queer protests” are by way of making Fred Phelps rich — or near as possible — by suing those whom his little group of ****heads provoke into physically attacking them or doing something else that would ordinarily be considered actionable. In other words, it’s a *racket*, a nasty one. The idea is that by provoking ordinarily decent folks into going mad-dog-crazy and attacking Phelps’ group, he can sue the attackers and get rich off it. I’m not sure whether the idiots in his group realize that he’s using them to make money and pocketing most or all of it rather than sharing the wealth, but I wouldn’t be surprised. All the supposed “moral outrage” of Phelps’ followers over “queers” is a big fat sham. Spread the word, and shame them out of town — or maybe even turn on their erstwhile group-leader and leave him in shape not even good enough to sue them or anyone else! (If I sound angry about it, actually, that understates the case — I’m absolutely incandescent over this jerk’s use of other people, and the grief he’s gotten his followers to cause people who never did anything to deserve it!)
