One thing that we have rarely, if ever, heard from the ardent anti-gay bigots that we monitor on this blog was any sort of defense of Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church, infamous for their “God Hates Fags” protests.
Even the most militant anti-gay activists tend to distance themselves from the Phelps cult and decry their protests as vile and unchristian … but not “Coach” Dave Daubenmire who today defended Westboro on the grounds that Christians have no right to judge the way in which this church carries out its mission.
Defending both Koran-burner Terry Jones and Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church, Daubenmire said that while he personally might not do things the same way, he is in no position to criticize them because “what if God really told Fred Phelps to do that?”
