You know that Phelps was excommunicated from his church. Also, Westboro is going to picket and demonstrate at his funeral. In addition to that his daughter is apparently calling him a fag-loving whore. It’s all quite interesting.

The WBC have nothing to do with any church, real or imagined. They are lawyers first and foremost.
Every time they show up at some function, they HOPE they made someone mad enough to assault them so that they can sue.
So I guess that besides being a democrat Al Gore supporter, and a lawyer, you'd have to be pretty damn sleazy to be "excommunicated" from such a group.
