"vile, violent, feces-eating Swedes"
OK, we know Fred Phelps is a total kook nutjob, be he now goes over the top by declaring that God Hates Swedes!
He is picking a fight with King Karl Gustaf of Sweden by planning a protest in Stockholm on Labor Day. The "vile, violent, feces-eating Swedes," as Phelps calls them, are quite upset with the accustations. I wonder if he's going to get his ass kicked once and for all. Heloooo, America and Kansas Christians...you have the most tactful emissary overseas these days.
You can call me a Fag and tell me I'm going to Hell and it'll slide offa me like buttah. I'll give him his freedom to bash queers, but Swedes? You don't pick on the Swedish Chef, ABBA, and Ace of Base. That's it, gloves down, I'm going in swinging.

This guy is clearly insane, I hope the Swedish Royal family takes some sort of legal or diplomatic action.
I read a bio on him (Phelps) seems three of his children are nolonger talking to him. Two sons have gone on record stating Phelps was mentally and physically abusive to the children and wife. The one daughter who left has changed her last name in order to distance her self from the Phelps clan. It is also rumored that this daughter was sexually abused by someone at the Phelps compound but that has not been comfirmed.
I have no doubt that when this guy dies there is going to be a frack load of stuff coming out about him by his family.

Of course knowing overly tolerant Sweden they'll probably let him right in. Then again, threatening heads of state tends to be a no-no.
And America's Labor Day? Who is going to care; everyone is on vacation in Tenerife anyway.
None of the major papers in Sweden are even bothering to cover it, and when they do its sort of "Wow America has really lousy mental health coverage, look at the poor man." Bigger news is that the king accidentally nudged another car in traffic in my hometown.

NOT THE SWEDES!!! Oh, he's sooo in trouble now.
ABBA is going to be pissed.
You should meet this nutjob in person. I have numerous times while going to school at KU.

That's so cool - the King of Sweden drives his own car? Can you imagine our fearless leader doing that?

But oh, this is perfect: let him out of the country, and then shut the door and lock it.
And now I have "All That She Wants" running through my head -- curse you....

Will they pelt Phelps with meat balls? And how can he afford to visit Scandinavia- it is real pricey!!!
