1. Her legacy is love....but I think the reaction to their picketing her funeral
will be more than they are expecting.

2. Long after Phelps is forgotten, she will be remembered.

3. Meh. Fred Phelps and his family are attention-seeking nutcases.
And Elizabeth Edwards was apparently far from being the saint a lot of people seem to think, too. I find it very hard to care about either one way or another.

6. bizarre that her husband's running-mate worked with Phelps
back in the late 80s.

At what point did Phelps go off the rails?

7. I could only dream of such an honor for myself than to have
My funeral picketed by such worms.

8. "Just Wear Blue" (UNC-Chapel Hill)
http://www.creativemediapeople.com/content/news/2010/12/just-wear-blue/

"1. If you live in North Carolina, join the group planning to act as a human buffer between Elizabeth Edwards and the Westboro church on Saturday from 10am-2pm. RSVP here so organizers know how many people to expect. Then RSVP here to the event on our page to indicate you’ll be there WEARING BLUE!

2. Check the Just Wear Blue Facebook page often in the next couple days for news of additional events. We’re considering gathering at the airport when Westboro Church members arrive in our town, or at their hotel.

For more information, contact: Kelly Utt-Grubb 919-272-2093, kelly@creativemediapeople.com"

9. Anderson Cooper has a two people on his program right
now who are describing how they and (hopefully) a few hundred of their friends will be outside the church tomorrow singing and drowning out any negative noise that could come from the Phelps clan. They said that they just want Elizabeth's funeral report in the news to be "Elizabeth Edwards quietly laid to rest." They said that the Raleigh police will maintain a physical barrier between the Phelps clan and the funeral.

10. It really makes no sense to me. . .
It seems to me, after all these years of outrage the Phelps clan has caused Americans all over this nation, that there isn't a 24/7 mass demonstration constantly surrounding their own church/compound. It would seem to me that there must be enough Americans with the courage and the fortitude to let the Phelps clan experience some of their own wretched wickedness.

16. I for one am at a loss. Fight them and lose $$$ in court for disrupting their 1st amendment rights
People in California have gone viral on youtube protesting them 'peacefully'.

Nada.

As a Christian, I pray for the proverbial lightening bolt to strike. As a human, I would not shed a damn tear if it came in the means of a weapon of some sort.

Downside of that is that some other neo-nazi would spring up in its place, and we would be back to where we started from.

14. Horseshit. Her legacy is compassion.
His is a dark grave.

Don't even try to compare the two.
