Fox News’ Chris Wallace Takes On Westboro Baptist Church Member

Video
» 119 comments

As a result of the recent Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church and their recognized First Amendment right to stage anti-gay protests near military funerals, Chris Wallace interviewed Margie Phelps, the church’s attorney and daughter of founder Rev. Fred Phelps. Although happy with the Court’s decision, Phelps still thought it likely that the nine Supreme Court Justices were going to hell, and was confident that President Obama would be going there as well.

Phelps rattled off one crazy statement after another, including that American soldiers are worse than Al Qaeda terrorists and that “the president is going to be king of the world before this is all said and done, and he is most likely the beast spoken of in the Revelation.” Wallace’s technique of just asking questions rather than demonstrating any anger was actually effective in allowing viewers to develop their own increasing outrage at Phleps’ responses. Phelps repeatedly concluded that any positive event was “God’s will,” while events she viewed less favorably were a “curse.” Therefore, it’s hard to conclude, from her perspective, how she would categorize her portrayal in this interview.

    “the beast spoken of in the Revelation”

    That is certainly something many of Fox New’s viewers can agree with.

    I had to turn it off before I barfed–she is soooo sick!

    You know those attention whores flailing their arms around begging everybody to pay attention to them? Let’s pay attention to them!

  • Helix

    Fox should not have given this person air time. Even for the ratings.

    Thanks for trying to pin me down as one of those people who gets offended by every little thing, but I’m not going for the bait. I just believe that people should show a basic level of respect for the sitting President of the United States. You don’t have to love him or even agree with him, but you should show basic respect. Sorry for being a patriot…

    Harassment by religious extremist

    Jehovah’s Witnesses instigated court decisions in 1942 which involved cursing a police officer calling him a fascist and to get in your face at the door steps,….this same JW 1942 court decision upheld infamous Phelps hate church in 2011

    There’s a simple explanation for her and her crew, really.

    They’re nuts.

    I mean whack-job, psycho looney outhouse mouse crazy.

    If anyone will burn in hell, it’s this bunch. In fact, I’m fairly certain that there is a special place reserved just for them. Mr. Phelps? Right this way, sir – your molten sulfer pit is waiting.

    Detestible creatures.

    Sorry, guess I wasn’t looking that closely. If it makes you feel better, I don’t mind saying that it is wrong and disrespectful to mock President Reagan, because it is. Feel better? Also, you might want to look in the mirror when you say some of this stuff. Calling someone out on their picture and avatar isn’t a stone you should be throwing from a glass house. Just saying…

    Strange, but effective response from the Supreme Court as far as dealing with rabid entities that argue constantly..

    But they are allowed to speak.

    Even if you hate their agenda.

  • ImNotBlue

    I think those who are saying FOX shouldn’t have given them air time are mistaken. The Westboro Cult was apprently big enough to make it to the SCOTUS, so the interview has relevance.

    Yes, they’re horrible people… but at the moment, they’re in the news. We can go back to ignoring them tomorrow, but today hearing their view (nonsense) on the ruling is news.

  • Pablo

    Wallace’s technique of just asking questions rather than demonstrating any anger was actually effective in allowing viewers to develop their own increasing outrage at Phleps’ responses.

    It worked when he did the same thing with Dick Durbin too.

    Whether Westboro is a church, a cult, or the reason against inbreeding is not the question. SCOTUS HAS to defend their right to speak. They gave the same right to George Lincoln Rockwell, who was defended by the ACLU. Rights only exist when they apply to everyone–even the despicable.

    My impression of WBC is this- If the Church is the body of Christ and WBC is a church(?) it must be a hemorrhoid. Personally I don’t consider it a church, I’m just wondering what it’s a hemorrhoid on, but God does love them and is willing to forgive if they repent from preaching hate in Christ’s name; if they don’t there is a special place in hell reserved for them where they will be reminded why they’re there – forever.

    Sucks that they are able to protest like that at burials, but if they have free speech then they have the rights. But they should get charged on other grounds to get them rid of the burials. Perhaps getting the state citizens a huge restraining order from these guys, would be fun to see!

    WBC is a mindless patriarchic sect, but without christianity it wouldn’t be possible. I would say that these guys interpret every part of the bible and a lot of it more seriously than it should be interpretated. The average christian just picks the fashionable parts, so WBC is closer to following the bible. The bible is almost as bad as the quran, if you read the bible in a critical way you can see a lot of similarities. Of course WBC isn’t close to following the acts of Jesus (if he existed) though.

  • labman57

    All of this childish banter by this “church lady” about Obama going to hell reminded me of a well-known anecdote about a mythical college Chemistry Final Exam…

    Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

    Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs by explaining that a gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed, or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

    First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

    As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions, and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that ALL SOULS GO TO HELL.

    With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell, because Avogadro’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

    This gives two possibilities:

    1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

    2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

    So which is it?

    If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my freshman year that, “it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you”, and take into account the fact I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then I can conclude that #2 cannot be true, and therefore Hell is exothermic.

    What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
    What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
    O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
    All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.

    Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
    We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
    Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
    Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.

    She can say anything and you’d believe it? Even that St Peter talks to her? Rumor has it she is single, and can put the fear of god in a young liberal’s heart.

    Actually, if you really want to go there, the Phelps clan are registered Democrats. Their illiberal tendencies are far most reflective of today’s vociferously extremist left. But, unless dragged, I’d rather not go there and join the vast majority of descent Americans in simply labeling them as world class jerks.

    NO DIPSHIT…..fred phelps WAS a registered democrat and ran for office in kansas …you in all your wingnut wisdom you projected his politics onto his whole family…….can you site what evidence you have that any other members of his family are registered dems???????……………….i suppose not

  • ProObamaAgenda

    During the 1992 presidential campaign, Phelps protested Hillary Rodham Clinton during a campaign speech in support of the Clinton-Gore ticket at the University of Kansas on October 14, 1992. In Bill Clinton’s second presidential campaign, Phelps and the Westboro church also opposed Clinton and Gore because of the administration’s support for gay rights. The entire Westboro congregation picketed a 1997 inaugural ball,denouncing Gore as a “famous fag pimp.”[ In 1998, Westboro picketed the funeral of Gore’s father, screaming vulgarities at Gore and telling him, “your dad’s in Hell.
    MY GUESS IS THAT THE PHELPS FAMILY SWITCHED TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY………….YOU SAY ??????

    Oh, so you knew at least Phelps shared your political affiliation yet the point of your post was to try to tie him around the necks of your political opponents, even as nobody was making this political?

    Someone in this thread is being disingenuous. Someone’s desperately projecting. Someone’s being overly sensitive. Needlessly, I might add, unless on some level you personally identify with some aspects of the WBC. Might I suggest it’s the virulent intolerance?

    That is his history and the fact that you don’t know it or that it hasn’t yet been mentioned doesn’t make it a new thing. Phelps has run for office as a Democrat and he was an Gore delegate to the 2000 Dem convention, You could look it up. Or you could keep squawking about how people not knowing what they’re talking about while you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    Fred Waldron Phelps, Sr. (born November 13, 1929) is an American pastor heading the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), an independent Baptist church based in Topeka, Kansas. Phelps is a disbarred lawyer, founder of the Phelps Chartered law firm, a past civil rights activist in Kansas, and a Democrat who has five times been a candidate for political office in Kansas Democratic Party primaries.

    Yes, someone in this thread is quite comfortable with the type of rhetoric reminiscent of those expressed by the detestable Westboro Baptist Church. Reason enough for all the massive projection? I think maybe so.

    According to the same Wikipedia article that you idiots neglected to point out:

    During the 1992 presidential campaign, Phelps protested Hillary Rodham Clinton during a campaign speech in support of the Clinton-Gore ticket at the University of Kansas on October 14, 1992. In Bill Clinton’s second presidential campaign, Phelps and the Westboro church also opposed Clinton and Gore because of the administration’s support for gay rights.

    So, how is that Gore supporting of his going now?

  • Dysanthrope

    I cant figure out what is free speech. Can I walk into a court room and call the judge an asshole? Will that work? Even though its offensive?

  • Dysanthrope

    The right of free speech has to be modified. The first amendment was written at a time of gentlemen and decency and propriety. We now live in a culture of rudeness and vulgarity and ill manners. That said, if a person says nigger or fag they can be fired from their job, is that legal?

  • hgovernick

    I do not agree with the tactics of this woman or her church, but I have to say she stood her ground with Wallace, and did not let him intimidate her in any way whatsoever. That shows conviction of belief. I’d bet Wallace was somewhat stunned by this woman’s confidence.

  • Nachi

    Deep similarities in/on that interview. Goons unite.

  • bealzebubba

    yeah I have a hard time seeing the Phelps clan = democrat connection.

    gay rights = democratic party ideal

    on another note, since they’re sure Obama is the beast, shouldn’t they start working on saving people? you’d think they’d be in a better mood knowing that if the beast be running the show and that the lord shall be arriving soon.

    May 21st, right? Hope they have their affairs in order.

    I agree that the OFFICE of POTUS deserves our respect, and in most cases, I would say we must respect the office holder, but respect is a two-way street, and if I’m not “getting” then I’m sure as hell not “giving.”

    I’d say he was more stunned by the seething hatred exuding from her every pore. Besides that, the broad is homely.
