If Fred Phelps and his band of merry little hate mongers don’t boil your blood enough, check out this from Fox: Westboro has been accused of being a hate group, but one detail that has been largely overlooked is that, unlike most hate groups, this group is not required to pay taxes because of its […]
This guy is a total disgust to humanity. Roberts: Bill is good but you cannot link homosexuality to a pedophilia crisis in the Catholic Church. Bill Donohue: It’s not a pedophilia… most of the victims were post pubescent… Roberts: You know… Donohue: You’ve got to get your facts straight. I’m sorry. If I’m the only […]
