Not necessarily. Fred Phelps is really old. However, I don't protest funerals out of principle.
Westboro Baptist Church are preparing to spread their evil message at Elizabeth Taylor

You have a link for that? What do you think their real intention is in holding these "protests"?

Here is the beginning of it.
About halfway through part 4 (below) the filmmaker asks the girl, "do you want to be a laywer like so many of your aunts and uncles?" In another part of the movie -- I don't remember where-- it goes into details about how they are all lawyers and that is how they supported themselves.

Good, perhaps they will avoid the funeral of a local guy from Westminster MD who was killed in Afghanistan last weekend.

I know right? when I heard that I immediately looked out the window but was disappointed because it was only full of little kids riding bikes.

And, of course, that hysteria that they're creating is a hysterical fear of the Great Plains, alias 'Flyover Country'. Is it coincidence that this is one of the most libertarian regions of the nation?
I can't help but wonder where the hell they do get the money to do all this travel. If Rand McNally is any indication, Westboro isn't even large enough to be incorporated. It isn't even a town. How many crazy lawyers can it support?

It said in the documentary their travel expenses are over 300k/year IIRC.
All that matters is that they get internet, work from home? Not to mention the myriad of lawsuits against people, businesses, municipalities that have assaulted or otherwise infringed upon their rights. All of which is relatively inexpensive for them since they can handling all the filing and court process internally.
Hell, if I was infringed upon by a govt, business, etc I might consider hiring them. Especially if it is a constitutional rights case, they are no doubt good at those.

This shit's comedy gold. Daughter wearing God Hates Fags shirt, member of Church, says she knows what she should & shouldn't wear -- they need to dress modestly.
DAUGHTERS... of PARENTS - the offspring of the operators of the Church... say they don't have boyfriends because it'd be a waste of their time which would be better spent telling everyone who doesn't hate fags they're hell-bound fag-lovers.
wuuuut? On before a member became a Westboro member/operator "...I embraced the ideology of libertarianism..." "You were... it's okay to be gay?" "I was a genius - a genius..."
"We're going to the Jew church." "The Jew chuch? That sounds a little anti-semitical." "These people hate God and worship the rectum."
"[Would you let your children bring home a boyfriend or girlfriend?]" "No. ... What would be the purpose? - so they can fornicate?" " -fun?" "FUN? Does that equal fornicating?" "Not necessarily." [kids start entering the vehicle they're in] "Well what does it equal?" "Fun? Having fun! Holding hands." "Holding hands?! No." "Sending little notes to each other?" "Uh, just what - so you can teach 'em how to fornicate later? Teach 'em early?" "You've got fornication on the brain." "Yeah - that's what this generation is all about - fornicating."
"Noah [very young boy @ protest], do you know what fag troops are?" "Yeah." "What?" "It's this nation - of these fags - it's a nation of fags. That's what fag troops mean." "It is a nation of fags - that's right." (Interviewer)"You're not going to let him get away with that...!?" "MOM - IT'S FAG SOLDIERS! FAG SOLDIERS!!"
After female teen said she felt pleasure when people die because it's God's Will - "If... you got run over by a car, would your dad be pleased?" "If I got ran over by a car, I'd be in Hell, and my dad'd probably be pleased."
Fred Phelps to.... people other than his followers? (Coalition soldiers, perhaps): "It's almost 18 months now and the siege has got people eatin' their babies, and their small children - AND EACH OTHER! YER GONNA EAT YOUR BABIES!!!"
lol @ ~4:35 on 6/8 - hilarious
Interviewer (paraphrased): What if the soldier you're picketing was a good man? "Not a chance, poopy pants."
"If Jesus did come back..." "- He'd be holding this sign." [Fags Doom Nations]

I've been saying that for a awhile. Once you get past any emotional response you might have to the hate rhetoric a lot of what they say is hilarious. I read their blog (used to anyway, as its been down since late Feb.) and the way they answer their emails and letters is hysterical.
For instance on their main site, they have on the left numbers of soldiers died in Iraq war. Number of aborted babies. Number of souls cast into hell so far. And my favorite, at the bottom of the list is " 0 - Number of nanoseconds of sleep we lose worrying about your 'feelings'".
