When the jury found for Brady, Phelps sought a new trial. Kansas Supreme Court justices wrote the trial was a personal vendetta by Phelps against Brady.

"The jury verdict didn't stop on the onslaught of Phelps. He was not satisfied with the hurt, pain and damage he had visited on Carolene Brady," the justices wrote.
Hell hath no fury like a Phelps scorned, it seems. We may have found the incident that turned him gay..... much to his chagrin.

Given Mr. Phelp's opinion of Mr. Rogers, I shudder to think what his attitude towards Captain Kangeroo (Bob Keeshan) might be.

After all, maybe the Captain's fond regard for Mr. Green Jeans is troubling to Fred baby.

After OK city bombing happened and "that guy, what's his name? Oh I guess it's not important" was convicted, I thought that the best punishment for him was for everyone, media, every day people, history books, etc. to forget he ever existed. Take his birth certificate and Social Security card out of the system, burn any photos his was in, touch up old yearbooks to remove his name and pix. No one mention his name. Any reference that is made to him would be "that guy, what's his name? Oh I guess it's not important" As far as the human race is conserned, he never existed. I am not saying that we forget the horrible thing he did. Just that we remember the victims and not the criminal.

This should apply to Phelps as well.

The best revenge is indifference. He's not worth it.
