2. Spot On...
Other than their obscene protests, there's no there there to what Phelps "group" is about. They have no "outreach" like other anti-LGBT or choice or other right wing groups...a political arm or some kind of conveluted "program" that reaches beyond just making asses of themselves. They're in it for the publicity and whatever cash they can shakedown. My bets are if you offered Phelps a "donation" he'd be sure to stay away from your funeral.

The Catch-22 here, and Phelps knows it, is attempts to stiffle his first ammendment rights give his clowns publicity and gets a reaction. You can ignore him...as many have...but they pick their spots...showing up when emotions are the rawest. As long as they aren't violent, their rights to protest will be protected, but that doesn't mean there aren't other ways to get at Phelps. A good civil suit from an aggrieved family may just do the trick...take him to court and force him to spend money.
