Fred Phelps decided his mentally-challenged gang of Christothugs had to get a piece of the action...
If followers of anti-gay pastor Fred Phelps thought they were going to find support in tiny Meade, Kansas they were mistaken. The militant group demonstrated across the street Sunday from a small hotel that stirred up a local hornets nest when it displayed a rainbow flag.
About 30 of Phelp's followers, mostly relatives, held signs saying "God Hates Fags", and "AIDS is God's curse."
Not far away a crowd nearly double in size help up their own signs. "God Loves Fags" read one sign. "Go home" read another.
The flag flap began earlier this summer when the son of J.R. and Robin Knight presented them with the colorful flag he'd picked up in California. The Knights put the flag over the entrance to their tiny Lakeway Hotel.
It's good to see the tiny town can muster up a crowd for a counter-protest.
