Will they picket his funeral?
From USA TODAY

Anti-gay church founder Fred Phelps dies

Fred Phelps Sr., a fierce opponent of homosexuality whose protests at military funerals prompted two federal laws, died early Thursday, his daughter Margie Phelps says. She didn't give the cause of death or the condition that recently put him in hospice care. He was 84. Phelps headed the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., and was occasionally involved in politics. He gained national prominence for organizing protests against gays and Jews, including at military funerals. He led protesters outside the funeral of Matthew Shepard, a University of Wyoming student who was killed in October 1998 for what a later trial determined was because he was gay. President Obama signed a law in October 2009 making crimes against perceived sexual orientation a hate crime.

let him and his family fade into oblivion they so richly deserve. Why reward them with a circus he would have enjoyed.

If the friggin media would simply ignore these loons, they'd be gone tomorrow. It's like the old Geraldo Rivera show when he'd bring on "the KKK" which would turn out to be two brothers (minus a few teeth) from Kentucky. Giving them air time is the only thing keeping them relevant.

If it makes someone feel good to picket the funeral whatever, I think that's a pretty dumb thing to do but can see how people who've had interactions with them at funerals for their own family might find some satisfaction in it.
