If you're going to troll like this, you could have at least brought up David Duke or something.

Nothing. They make great target practice for revolutionaries. xD

Hey, did you hear that former Klans-man, Senator Robert Byrd, says that some of the things the President is trying to do are un-Constitutional?

It couldnt just be because the Prez is black, could it?

In the summer, yeah, 'cause I'm only 19. Don't see the particular relevance though.

So if I understand correctly, the point of this thread is to show that one homophobic nutbag is a memeber of the Democratic Party, and therefor the entire party is guilty by association?

Well, how about I play that game with the Republicans? You wouldn't want that now would you?

Seriously, what happened to this guy..

Phelps took cases on behalf of African American clients alleging discrimination by school systems, and a predominately black American Legion post which had been raided by police, alleging racially-based police abuse. Phelps' law firm obtained settlements for some clients.[20] Phelps also sued then-President Ronald Reagan over Reagan's appointment of a U.S. ambassador to the Vatican, alleging this violated separation of church and state. The case was dismissed by the U.S. district court.[20][21] Phelps' law firm, staffed by himself and family members also represented non-white Kansans in discrimination actions against Kansas Power and Light, Southwestern Bell, and the Topeka City Attorney, and represented two female professors alleging discrimination in Kansas universities.[19]

In the 1980s Phelps received awards from the Greater Kansas City Chapter of Blacks in Government and the Bonner Springs branch of the NAACP for his work on behalf of black clients.[22]

If you note his background, especially the education side... it all makes sense. He was insane to begin with and when he was still a seminarian, before he became a civil rights activist, he was spouting the same things he is now. It goes to show that there are alot of people out there that may support equal rights for minorities (which begs the question of seminary choice) but are as homophobic as one can get. It may not make sense to many here but it is a sad reality.

You will when you have to pay Real Bills For Real Life. Then all talk of revolution goes out of the window, and the slow acceptance that you will die feeding The Machine sets in.

Lulz at someone actually taking the troll seriously.

[TannerFrankLand]

And Pat Robertson is a Republican.

This. I'm a conservative but even I can recognize the truth in this.

I don't particularly see how facing capitalist oppression more firsthand would make me more enamored to it.

Quite frankly, I've seen enough stupidity from the right since the '08 election started not to presume that something isn't meant seriously, however stupid it sounds.

Unless, perhaps,you go into academia. Plenty of academics keep their Marxism well into adulthood. Depending on the field, of course.

Didn't he switch to the Republicans about 20 years ago?

[Blouman Empire]

Naturally. The GOP is full of various scumbags. It's of greater suprise when the scumbag is a Democrat.

Well not really, I was more talking about people dismissing it and such he isn't the democratic party.

Andras? Have you returned?

Yeah, when I first saw her speak, I assumed Palin was just trolling.

Then people started supporting her, and I assumed they were just in on the joke.

Slowly, but surely, the truth began to sink in.

The difference is that Democratic leaders do not listen to him.
We bitch about Robertson et al because the leadership of the Republican party listen to them and take their opinions very seriously. Robertson, as I recall, had a weekly telephone meeting with the previous president.

[New Khadgar]

You-Gi-Owe, this serves NO purpose but to flame or bait Democrats and the Democratic Party.

Excellent point. Flaming and baiting are so rare on NS after all. It's OK to flame and bait Christians, Republicans, and just about anyone else, but please, people, leave the Democratic Party alone. An insult to the Democrats is an insult to the Lord Barack. Blasphemers!

And yet not all republicans still don't have the same views. I still stand by my statement that the responses on this forum have a different tone then if the title said "Fred Phelps: Republic Party Member"

(Yes I know it is the Republican party but I am continuing the way the OP wrote the title)

If it was Fred Phelps: Republican, this wouldn't even be a thread since it would fall under "Gee, No Shit Sherlock".

Well, yeah, some Republicans disagree with Robertson and Phelps and Falwell and all those crazy people.
But the leadership don't. The ones in charge don't. They very much agree. They listen to these people.

That's a huge difference, one that I think you're intentionally downplaying.
