Hehe, nice initiative! =) I saw a documentary about this sect, and they are indeed revolting!! For next month I would like to nominate Glenn Beck - it is not so much a religious thing as the simple matter that he is a retard plain and simple!
Maybe by the end of the year, we should vote on who is the retard of the year and seek to convey the result to the winner.

Great idea!
Actually, David, the use of the word Retard is as intolerant and ugly as homophopia, racism, and misogyny. It shows disrespet toward those that have developmental disabilities or delays - through no fault or choice of their own. It even blankets those that are just as intelligent as the neuro-typicals (NTs), but have problems communicating with the NTs using standard modes.
Perhaps you should reconsider the name of this "Award" or just go start yourself a site called www.NeffHatesTards.com ?
Retard of the Month
I am pleased to announce that for the month of April 2010 Fred Phelps has been chosen as retard of the month!
Pastor Fred Phelps of the westboro baptist church is being named The Retard of the Month for his bigotry against homosexuals, for his sexism, for his xenophobic statements against several countries, and for publicly showing disrespect and lack of sympathy towards victims of many accidents, natural disasters, murders and terrorist acts, including but not limited to the World Trade Center bombing on the 11th of September, 2001.
Christians generally oppose homosexuals acts, but this man takes his views to the extreme and actually advocates the death penalty for homosexuals acts. He and his congregation, mainly composed of family members, have organized thousands of pickets at various locations both in and outside of the U.S.A., in the last 10 years, preaching their hateful drivel against homosexuals and virtually anyone who disagrees with their insane religious beliefs or actions. During a demonstration, they display signs containing "GOD HATES FAGS", "THANK GOD FOR AIDS", "FAGS DIE, GOD LAUGHS", "AIDS CURES FAGS", "FAGS BURN IN HELL", "FAGS DOOM NATIONS", "GOD GAVE FAGS UP", "THANK GOD FOR 9/11" etcetera.
They believe the 9/11 attacks, the death of many American soldiers in Iraq, hurricane Katrina, the Columbia shuttle accident and the murder of the five Amish girls are punishment from God for the U.S.A.'s tolerance of homosexuals acts. As if all of this wasn't bad enough, the heartless bastards picket funerals of dead soldiers and homosexuals, thus showing no sympathy for the friends and family of the deceased. They have even considered picketing the funeral of the five slain Amish girls, although they cancelled the protest, not because they actually realized how wrong it is, but because they were given an hour of radio time on Mike Gallagher's program instead.
Protests are not their only means of spreading their hateful garbage. For example, the Westboro Baptist Church owns several sites includingGodHatesFags.com, GodHatesAmerica.com, GodHatesCanada.com and GodHatesSweden.com. The titles of these websites alone are revolting to any decent human being. Shortly after the tsunamis in Asia occurred, they posted the statement on their main site: "THANK GOD FOR 20000 DEAD SWEDES, WISH IT WERE MORE". Here is another evil statement which can be found in their website F.A.Q.:
We sincerely hope and pray that all 20,000 Swedes are dead, their bodies bloated on the ground or in mass graves or floating at sea feeding sharks and fishes or in the bellies of thousands of crocodiles washed ashore by tsunamis. These filthy, faggot Swedes have a satanic, draconian law criminalizing Gospel preaching, under which they prosecuted, convicted and sentenced Pastor Ake Green to jail - thereby incurring God's irreversible wrath - Westboro Baptist Church
The "God Hates Sweden" website was created as a response to the imprisonment of another retarded fundie who publicly made bigoted statements against homosexuals in Sweden.
On top of all of this, Fred Phelps is a sexist as he believes women are not allowed to preach. His website quotes the following biblical passages as evidence:
"1 Tim. 2:9-14 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
1 Cor. 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
For his unbelievable display of idiocy and disrespect for the entire human race generated by religion, Fred W. Phelps is being awarded The Retard of the Month Award.
