The fanatical American Baptist minister, Fred Phelps, is on his way to Sweden."We'll hunt down your king," he said ominously to Expressen. "It doesn't make any difference where he tries to hide."
Phelps' hatred of the royal family and all things Swedish is linked directly to his equally virulent hatred of homosexuals. He praises homophobic crimes, including murder. When controversial Swedish minister, Åke Green, was convicted of inciting hatred of homosexuals following an anti-gay sermon, Phelps saw red and turned his attention to Sweden.
"You're doomed to spend eternity in hell," he continued. "All you Swedes and your Swedish king and his family."
The minister and twenty members of his congregation from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, are planning to come to Sweden at the beginning of September. They are bringing plenty of placards in order to spread their message that Sweden is the cradle of all evil and that the king rules a nation of sodomites.
King Carl Gustaf is their primary target.
"Your king represents your doomed country and we'll find him wherever he may be."
A lot of this has to do with the case of Swedish minister Åke Green, whose conviction of a hate crime for preaching a sermon critical of homosexuality was overturned this spring. The Swedish Supreme Court will hear the government’s appeal this fall.

And let me point out the difference between this post and the other that you refer to -- in this one I am actually talking about Fred Phelps, while in the other I didn't mention Tom Osborne in any way shape or form because I was specifically talking about something Lawrence Phillips did in 2005, not what he did a decade ago while on Osborne's team at Nebraska.
In other words, you buffoon, I was not covering up a thing.
Now go buy a clue.
