Anyone see Marge Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church on C-Span this morning?

[whathehell]

Ewwwww. She was really creepy. As I'm sure you know, she is Fred's daugher and his attorney.

Beyond what you know of her and what she SAYS, there is an inexplainable "creep" factor about her...She sits very still with the slightest of smiles, evincing what I would call the certitude of the mad.

She's one of the few people I've seen on live television who gave me the chills.

Wondering if anyone else saw the show.



Edited for typing.

1. No, but if I encounter any of them, not only will I tell them to fuck off, but exactly HOW to do it!

And I'm talking language that would be a TOS violation on DU.

2. Is she arguing the case before the Supreme Court?

Maybe Thomas will break his silence and ask her a question.

4. I believe she is. The last name of the attorney for the VFW was Neiman. n/t

5. Geez, I'd love to see that.

3. No, didn't see it. Tell us more.

9. I would like to, it was quite odd to see a "guest" on C-span who was

a bona fide nut case rather than your average B.S. politician.

Unfortunately, I'm feeling sick right now, and as much as I'd like to say it was Marge, I can't lie that well, so I'll just lye down for awhile and come back later.

8. "...the certitude of the mad." Yup--from PBS yesterday, and yes, she is creepy.

10. When she ran for office here

someone went around and added a LARGE to the MARGE on all her signs. It was pretty amusing considering Pee Wee's Big Adventure. "And she looked like this.........AHHHHHHHHHHRGGGGHHHHHH!"

Edit to add: In grade school my brother threw up hot dogs in her hair. :-) Just a little sick levity. :-)

12. I watched her and was fascinated. Her arguments were remarkably good

When she wasn't spouting the religious nonsense the rest of her argument was very strong, I thought.
