The Sky Report has secretly filmed one of America's most controversial Christian ministers praising the London bombings.

Fred Phelps says that terrorist outrages and natural disasters such as Hurricane Rita are examples of God's wrath against countries such as America and Britain for tolerating homosexuals and homosexuality.

Fred Phelps, who set up the controversial Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, told our undercover reporter about the attacks, which killed 52 people:

"Oh I am so thankful that happened. My only regret is that they didn't kill about million of them. England deserves that kind of punishment, as does this country (America)".

They'll be showing this on The Sky Report at 7 pm tonight.

1. Words fail me. Phelps is truly evil and demented.

First he insulted Sweden and now he's moving on to England. :(

[Skidmore]

If he were Muslem, he would be in a cell in Gitmo by now

having a little party with one of Cheney's goons.

7. He's an attention whore, like Coulter.

The more outrageous things he says or does, the more attention he gets.

[abbeyco]

2. Geez!

Think this will want to make anyone go nuclear on his sorry ass?

I feel for all of Topeka, having to be painted with his narrow-minded brush.

Great, just great!

10. We only have the unfortunate

function of housing the SOB. Believe me, we are not him. Unfortunately when I was interviewed by the New York Times they declined to print what I and my partner in the interview had to say and decided it was much more the story to print the people (2?) who support them or the stories of the business people who are afraid of them. Most of Topeka would raise up and cheer if he were to go elsewhere.

Topeka is OK. Ignore Phelps, attention is his game.

3. homosexuality must be pretty bad

if it's worse than killing a million innocent people. :eyes: This can't be dignified with a response. what a wack job.

4. Why isn't he in jail?

One of these days, he and one of his pig followers will cross the legal line ........ I'd love to see those sacks of shit in jail.

5. I DARE him to say that to this Brit.....

...We'll see how fucking thankful he is then...

[Bluzmann57]

6. Are there any shrinks in here?

I mean this guy must be certifiably crazy. To the point where he should be locked up with a straight jacket in the proverbial rubber room.
Oh sorry if anyone takes offense to the "shrink" remark. I can't spell the word for a doctor of mental health. Pschyciatrist? Is that close? But anyway, Phelps is most likely insane and sure has forgotten about the "Thou Shalt not Kill" Commandment.

8. If I were to meet this man I would spit on him.

or is it shit?

[FreedomAngel82]

9. So why hasn't Canada been hit Mr. Phelps?

:eyes: What an ass.

[Kurovski]

11. God appears to be "punishing" many countries in the world today.

Phelch, er, Phelps is too nuts to notice. Or maybe the inbred fuck doesn't know how to read.

I think of all the addle-pated tard-bots who say this about Bush: "God is in the White House!" and It is then that I begin to understand what the nut-jobbers might mean when they say "god" is punishing us.

12. I hope there'll be a video clip of this story online later.

[readmoreoften]

13. Why did they SECRETLY film him saying this?

As if he hasn't been PUBLICALLY saying this for 10 years now! I could accuse Fred Phelps of many things... but ACTING IN SECRECY is not one of them.
