Has Fred Phelps been in the news lately?

I mean since the loss of the multimillion dollar lawsuit. I'm wondering what has prompted the flurry of Phelps question - which I have now added to ; )

Update:

I knew about Heath ledger's death and I knew about the movie (though I didn't bother to see it - Movie theaters are too loud) I also knew about Phelps mania but somehow didn't make the leap.

    me too. i really didn't understand the wave of Phelps questions. I guess they were out protesting the Heath Ledger funeral cause of "brokeback mountain"

    Phelps still pops up in the news occasionally. He still tries to picket soldiers' funerals and he's been lurking around the fringes of some of the political rallies. He's in the news this week because he claims he's going to picket Heath Ledger's funeral.

    who's Fred Phelps??? (sarcasm)

    Yes, he's been in the news, because the WBC was allegedly planning to boycott the funeral of Heath Ledger, the actor who just died, since he was in "Brokeback Mountian," a film about "the gays."

    BUT I heard that Ledger's family isn't having a service, so Phelps is outta luck.

    You must lead a sheltered life! LOL! His little warped group has intentions to protest at Heath Ledger's funeral.

  • He's evidently inciting people to picket Heath Ledger's funeral, because "God killed Heath for being in 'Brokeback Mountain'..."

    It's sad that anyone pays this little whacko nutjob ANY attention at all.

    Much like Cindy Sheehan, Phelps will pass into oblivion soon enough when people get bored with him.

    He walked on water last Wednesday, and it will be on 60 Minutes this Sunday evening.

    I'm tempted to start something in other sections.
