Git-R-Done! Fred Phelps sets sites on Larry The Cable Guy

[Ian David]

Larry The Cable Guy = Pro-Gay?
Angie | Feb 12, 2007 |

I'm sure that many of you all know and love "Pastor" Fred Phelps, founder of the Westboro Baptist Church and GodHatesFags.com. I've gotten to see his work (what they call "love crusades") in action at two funerals in my hometown...and it's not to be missed.

In recent years, Phelps and his band-o'-picketers have expanded their repertoire beyond protesting LBGT funerals, and frequently picket military funerals as well.

Now, they've got a new target: Larry The Cable Guy.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Larry The Cable Guy, who gave us big (apparently gay) pearls o' wisdom like "Git-R-Done" has a one-way ticket to Hell, and he's taking all of America with him.

Phelps and his crew are just doing us a favor by telling us. How thoughtful.

God hates 'Git-R-done'
From a new Westboro Baptist Church press release:



Which does make a bit of sense, actually, as Satan would seem to be a literal "red neck"! However, this protest is still completely absurd on Westboro's part, as everyone knows the Prince of Darkness is much more of a Jeff Foxworthy fan.

"If your nipples get hard in the middle of the desert -- then you might be a Beezlebub!"

Like it or not, Larry the Cable Guy's comedy may become as symbolic of this decade and the Bush era as Jerry Seinfeld was of the 90s and the Clinton era. You can try to drive through a Bush-voting county without seeing a car bearing a Git-R-Done sticker. You may succeed where I failed.

It's an open secret that Larry's good-ol'-boy schtick is phony. He was born in Nebraska but grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida (Kerry by 21 points). But it's still possible to pick up the heartland patois when you live in urban Florida, right?

Well, here's a video of Larry (ne Daniel Lawrence Whitney) in his first iteration, as a wrist-slashingly bad generic 90s cutup. Watch and writhe - or marvel at a man's ability to reinvent himself and win the heart of a nation.

1. larry the cable guy sucks......

....if by spending his time going after larry the lame cable guy it means fred phelps will leave everyone else alone for a while, it's fine by me.

[ronnykmarshall]

2. When's that mother fucker going to drop dead?

[Ian David]

3. I edited my post and added more links. You REALLY want to see the David Cross thread! n/t

[Gatchaman]

4. I hate Larry the Cable Guy as much as any person of normal intelligence does

but this is just silly.

And in addition to losing his already tenuous grip on reality, Phelps is losing his touch, and his way with words. He did not use the term "sodomite whorehouse" even once. Frankly, I'm disappointed.

[Ian David]

5. Phelps also didn't use the phrase, "Drippings from Satan's Own Penis."

I guess Larry The Cable Guy doesn't compare to the King of Sweden?

[MuseRider]

6. This ought to be good.

I am not a fan of Larry but I think he just might take them on. If so I might forgive him just a tiny bit.

[Ian David]

7. It will be interesting to watch those two mental midgets attack one another.

But seriously, some good may come out of this.

If Larry truly is "pro-gay," then maybe... MAYBE... he'll appeal to his notoriously suggestible fans to show some tolerance.

Or, he'll just rile his fans into such a fury that the legions of redneck-wannabees will make Fred's life a living hell.

[MuseRider]

8. If Larry IS pro-gay

and he suggests this to his fans I really could forgive him. Seriously, it just might do a world of good.

I can forget his fake good ole boy act, he purposeful stupidity and all kinds of things if he could actually try to make a difference by advocating a pro-gay stance.

Is he really pro-gay?

[jeffseadot]

11. Brand new shoes

Being pro-gay in the eyes of Mr. Phelps isn't the same thing as actually being pro-gay. Remember, these guys think pro-gay behavior is anything but blatant hostility towards us. Phelps is a guy who has accused Billy Graham, the U.S. military, and George Bush as being pro-gay.

[Ian David]

12. Fred Phelps protested at the funeral of Mister Rogers.

Just because Rev. Fred Rogers (aka Mister Rogers) never used his fame and influence to say anything anti-gay.

[MuseRider]

13. Good point.

I will wait and see what is said, if anything.

[donco6]

15. That's NEWS to me.

I've watched snippets of his performances and it certainly didn't smell progay to me.

[MuseRider]

16. That is what I thought

but then I don't pay much attention to him. I am puzzled but I suppose it is like the post up thread to me, pro gay is not much for Fred. If you aren't screaming that they are going to hell then you are pro gay to old Freddie.

[sakabatou]

9. They're insane... a bit more now.

[jeffseadot]

10. Vorpal broadsword

For the first time in my life, I'm actually on Phelps's side. He may be evil, but at least he's not irritating. Plus, his slogans aren't plastered inside every bar and on the back of every pickup truck in the redneck-infested area I call my stomping grounds.

[northernsoul]

14. I love it when red-state charicatures attack each other

The only thing better would be to have Pat "Evil Uncle Chuckles" Robertson and Toby Keith in a pissing match.
