misscamRemember Fred Phelps, that asshat? (If you don't, see here & here.)
Well, his various remarks about the Swedish Royal family has made The King of Sweden call in the lawyers.
And how does Phelps respond, you ask? Phelps is coming to Sweden
"We'll hunt down your king," he said ominously to Expressen. "It doesn't make any difference where he tries to hide."
The minister and twenty members of his congregation from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, are planning to come to Sweden at the beginning of September. They are bringing plenty of placards in order to spread their message that Sweden is the cradle of all evil and that the king rules a nation of sodomites.
Sweden, you have my deepest, deepest sympathy. I feel a dark, deep shudder just knowing that hate-spewer is going to be on the same continet as me, let alone the the neighbouring country. Shudder. Am also very tempted to go to Sweden and tell him to sod off and be gay for a day in his honour. Asshat.
Though I wonder if he's aware Swedish laws differ from American laws when it comes to freedom of speech... Maybe he'll actually get himself arrested while there. Or maybe Odin will smite him in rightful fury.
I live in hope.

I don't get why he is so worked up about Sweden? I mean the Netherlands are much more loose in their attitudes towards sex in general.

Date: 2005-08-27 02:53 pm (UTC)I have no idea either. Norway's as 'bad' as Sweden and we have the added bonus of a man married to another man in our actual government, which you'd think would make Phelps foam the mouth even more so.
I guess when he picks his targets, he sticks blindly by them, be it gays or Sweden or Canada.
