So strangely enough before Fred Phelps decided that everyone but him and his family were going to hell, he took up many cases for discriminated blacks back in the 60s much to the anger of some whites. He even sued Ronald Reagan for breaking the separation between Church and State rolleyes by appointing an Ambassador to the Vatican
So what if Fred Phelps was killed by an insane white nationalist before he became involved in things like the picketing of gays and soldiers funerals? Maybe he'd be seen as a martyr or as (shudders) a hero (proceeds to vomit in disgust)
