I feel sorry for Phelps... he is clearly mentally ill. But with his hateful doctrine, everyone hates him so much that all they think is "What a bastard" and not about why he's doing this. The Wikipedia article goes into some detail with respect to what his expatriated family members have said about him. He needed help a long time ago and never got it. Well, I don't really feel _sorry_ for him per se, but I do think he needs to be institutionalized along with his daughter Shirley Phelps-Roper.
