A friend of mine attended the counter-protest when WBC protested at Elizabeth Edwards' funeral in Raleigh.
He said that there were like three or four WBC people and maybe 800 or 1000 counter-protesters. They basically flew in the bare minimum of people they could to satisfy their promise to protest the event. They already had what they wanted: headlines.
These guys are CLASSIC trolls. They're tiny and impotent, and if we ignore them, they WILL go away.
None of which answers the Pub Question. Do they have a right to protest? Sure. Is their speech guaranteed to be consequence-free? No. But they're free to say it.
