Yes. One is a former hardcore pornographer with the improbable name of Bart McQueery who signed on with Phelps after he was getting attacked for his own one-man ministry in Tennessee - a ministry in which he used similar tactics to Phelps.
His other friend is a cofounder of the neo-Nazi cult called "Christian Identity." He joined Phelps because he believes Phelps is the white savior that some Identity cultists believe is coming.
