I love the Westboro Baptist Church. They're either brilliant satirists or a b#*#*&@ insane cult . . . either way they always make me laugh.
What is really scary is his oldest daughter works for the state and is hella smart. She brings thing up to litigation at every chance she gets. They win more then they lose.

Ku Klux Klan has distanced itself from Westboro Baptist Church
If people could learn to ignore the idiots from Westboro Baptist they'd have no choice but to vanish. Their hate is an abomination, and they crave the attention it gets. Fred Phelps and his family are like the Grauls with Bibles.
Considering all the (racial) civil rights work Phelps did before going bat-shiite crazy, it really isn't that surprising that the KKK wouldn't want to be associated with his clan.
KKK 1/3 less hatefull than WBC.
Being nosy, I went directly to the lion's den. Right at the bottom of their home page. Wow. Just wow.

Phelps is a major racist, personally and theologically. His son says he took civil rights cases purely for the cash.
I must admit, there are few careers more suited to my father’s temperament and abilities than the legal profession. His intellect and fiery oratorical skills compel people to stand up and take notice. Early on in his legal career he discovered an untapped gold mine in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This new federal act was basically an empty shell waiting to be filled. He was up to that challenge. Filing an unprecedented number of civil rights suits earned him a reputation in the region for championing the rights of the black man. In spite of his personal and theologically based disdain for the black community he was able to sway juries, with his passionate rhetoric, to pay large judgments and even convinced the NAACP to honor him with several awards.
Man, just thinking about that guy makes me....

Still, I don't think any "self-respecting" Klansman is going to support someone like him, even if he did it just for the money.
Or, another way of saying it would be ....

I won something....
Or, another way of saying it would be ....There is a book called 'Homicide: A Year in the Killing Streets', written by David Simon, one of the creators of 'The Wire'. In it there is a true story about a guy who frequently snatched the hat with all the money in it from sidewalk craps games in Baltimore. He'd play for a bit until the pot got big, and then he'd snatch it and run. So he gets shot dead, of course, and a witness is explaining what happened and why this guy got shot. The cop stops him and asks, 'if he stole the pot all the time why would they let him play in the first place?'
The witness looks at him like he just announced that he was from Mars and replies, 'This is America, man. You got to let him play!'
:)
Simon uses that bit at the very beginning of the first episode of THE WIRE.
This has to be the best response to the Phelps hatemongers that I've seen.
