Why she might be annoying:

    She is an attention seeker, with a real goofy agenda.
    She is a servant of a hateful, cruel and vindictive God (sounds like the Anti-Christ).
    She revels in other people's misery; taking joy in the September 11th attack, picketing funerals, victims of natural disasters and the death of the Pope.
    She married her husband, Brent when she was 25 and he was a teenager (he is six years her junior).
    If her sister-in-law had married her, she would have been Shirley Shurlie.
    She claims not to masturbate or to have had any type of pre-marital sex, but refuses to swear to it.
    Her debating skills are superficial. They consist primarily of cherry picking quotes from a translation of a bible.
    She resolves contradictions in her bible, claiming that the old testament is 'ornamental' (So some of God's words don't have to be followed - so much for infallibility!).
    She has the audacity to claim to speak for God.
    Although she claims God Hates America (Canada and Sweden, too), she continues to live in America.
    For someone who believes God Hates Fags, she tends to show up at their functions. Birds of a feather?
    Her catch phrase is 'split Hell wide open' (how the fuck does one split Hell wide open?).
    She uses the fire and brimstone preacher tactic of exploiting people's fears.
    When she is angered by a caller on the Howard Stern Show, she calls them 'hon.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was brainwashed by her father, Fred Phelps (poor Shirley).
    She is harmless and has probably turned more people away from her agenda, sympathizing with those she opposes.
    Although mocked and ridiculed on the Howard Stern Show, she continues to make appearances.
    With apologies to Leslie Nielsen - Shirley, you can't be serious!
    Hey, Mrs. Roper, were you on 'Three's Company?'
