Fred Phelps, founder of the notoriously anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church, has died.

As usual, The Onion provides the authoritative take on it.

I know that it is wrong to wish harm upon someone. I try to take the high road, be the better person, believe that there is good in everyone, etc.  I hope this person experiences eternal agony at the moment of passing.

Wow, I feel so much better now. As you were.

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

I hope the location of his funeral gets out and there's a Carnival-style orgy outside. Sinners fucking everywhere. You know, it's their first amendment right and all.

People need to protest the fuck out of his funeral. Poetic justice demands it.

I, on the other hand, hope people ignore the passing of this asshat and allow his pointless life fade into less than a footnote on the wrong side of history.

Yes, yes, the high road is usually the most honorable one. This Kansas LGBT group agrees, to their credit.

It's important for his family to be able to gather in peace and cry over how that pathetic hate-filled wretch wasted his final years blindly spitting into the wind and calling the moist blowback proof that the wind was in his favor.

Thomas Witt, the executive director for Equality Kansas, was blunt: Don't celebrate Phelps' death, it's not appropriate. Donate some money to an LGBT advocacy group instead.

Not sure I'd call call using his death as a fundraiser the high road. And while I understand fighting hate with hate is pointless, it would make me inordinately happy to have his family and supporters suffer the same kind of pain they inflict on others. Not that it would do anything except to perhaps galvanize the bigots even more, but still.
