WBC is a business, nothing more
They're a slick operation. They turn out with their ironically rainbow coloured "God Hates..." banners (it's not just fags, it's "fags enablers" like the US Army and basically anyone not related to Fred), and they very, very carefully do only what they have a guaranteed constitutional right to do, and very very carefully monitor the actions of anyone who might interfere with their constitutionally-guaranteed rights.

And if anyone, anyone at all, but especially anyone official, tries in any way to stop them, or even just fails to protect them and their rights, Fred (who before he set up the church was an extremely outspoken and successful civil rights lawyer who used to get shot at because he defended black people) and his family sue them. And because they're good at what they do, they win. That's how they make money. It's repellent, but at the same time elegant. You want free speech? You got it. And this is some of the free speech you have to put up with.

Blimey, that makes a depressing amount of sense.
They just about toe the line of hate speech enough to not get in trouble while being as offensive as possible. In a way, it's genius.

Nah, I think Hitler probably made more cash doing it his way.

Sometimes I really dislike
the fact that replies can't win or be FP'd.
