He Wins The Prize: Most Offensive Man In America

Fred Phelps is a man who leaves even a hardened fringe-watcher like me speechless. Check out this column, in which he suggests in the vilest possible terms that the city of New Orleans had it coming. Then remind yourself that this man is the leader of a fairly large congregation that receives national media coverage on a regular basis. Speaking of which, it appears that Fred and his flock were recently chased out of Smyrna, TN by some locals who were not too pleased with his protesting outside the funeral of two soldiers recently killed in Iraq. I’m honestly surprised that no one’s taken a shot at these assh*les yet.
