[47of74]

The FBI released their file on Fred Phelps of WBC infamy.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation had an extensive file on the late pastor of a fringe Christian church that was notorious for its public anti-gay demonstrations across the country, including at the funerals of soldiers who died in war.

Recently released FBI records on Fred Phelps, the head of the Westboro Baptist Church who died in March, show that the bureau considered him a "radical extremist" and had received complaints about Phelps and his church, as well as requests from his organization to investigate various threats.

Phelps' FBI file was released by the bureau in response to a Freedom of Information Act request and was first reported by The Hill. The lengthy file on Phelps includes information from the website of the Westboro Baptist Church and even a printout of the Wikipedia page on the organization.

You can see the file there or on the FBI site.

1. Even though a threat

They were still able to board planes throughout the years. I wonder how that would have gone had they been Muslim.

2. Whoa, I hadn't heard about his war against Sweden!

I'm about halfway through and it's pretty enlightening reading. I just hope that now that the old bastard is finally dead, his remaining children are able to break away from the insanity. I honestly don't think daughter Shirley has what it takes to hold onto them all, even though she's just as vile as her crazy father was.

3. Well even when he was alive some of his children left.

He was an abusive and controlling piece of shit.
