NAME: Shirley Phelps Roper
NICKNAME: Crazy Lady on Fox News
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: Shirley Phelps Roper is an active member at the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, where her father, Fred Phelps, preaches. Roper has been instrumental in organizing many anti-gay and soldier funeral pickets. At these pickets, Roper and her fellow Baptist members rally near where the funerals take place, holding up signs thanking God for killing the deceased.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Check out her philosophy on life in this video clip below.
In 2008, after the great 8.0 Sichuan earthquake killed over 68,000 in the province of China, the Westboro Baptist Church thanked God for causing the earthquake. The WBC issued a release praying "for many more earthquakes to kill many more thousands of impudent and ungrateful chinese communists". (Westboro Baptist Chuch - "Thank God for the Killer Earthquake")
Phelps' hatred is not directed to any one group in particular. Although members of the WBC actively show their hatred of gays and american soldiers through picketing, they also hate jews, italians (or "monster breeding perverts"), catholics, methodists, presbyterians, lutherans, episcopalians, baptists, islamists, hindus, black people, anyone in the marine corps, and the "can you hear me now" guy from the cell phone commercials.
