Crazy Man on Death’s Door

The infamous leader of Westboro Baptist Church, Fred Phelps, is on death’s door, according to his estranged son.

Beginning in the early 2000s, Phelps and his church, comprised largely of his close and extended family, began terrorizing their fellow Americans, showing up at funerals with signs reading that God Hates Them and is glad they are dead, because they did not oppose homosexuality stridently enough.

Prior to his incarnation as a mouth-frothing madman, Phelps was a more respectable version of himself, and once garnered 30 percent of the vote in a Democratic Party primary for United States Senate (Kansas).
