They didn't even show at my university when they threatened to a couple weeks ago.

Considering what they are saying, couldn't it be called treason?

On the other hand when/if someone goes off the deep end it will probably be Phelps with the bullet in his head, so that's not going to be particularly helpful.

I think I'm going to agree with POS here - they're kinda like Jack Thompson. Ignore them and... wait, he kept coming back, right? Until he generally acted like a jackass so much he was disbarred?
Does that mean we have to wait until Phelps is excommunicated? Quote:

Technically, I suppose they could be charged under the 1940 Smith Act, which is apparently still on the books for incomprehensible reasons, but all that would do is either make them go down in history as defenders of the First Amendment if their case is the one that gets the whole thing ruled unconstitutional or set a horrible precedent in favor of the limitation of free speech in the event that it isn't.
Neither outcome really appeals to me.

Sure, if you want to do collateral damage to a major city.
Well, it is Kansas, though.

Archer and Armstrong vs. the World

At least Westboro Cult (I won't deign to use either "Baptist" or "Church" to refer to them) continues to show that, for all intents and purposes, we can find objectively evil things in this world. Philosophy kind of leaves a lot of stuff in the air, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone outside of this cult that thinks what they are doing is anything but disgustingly vile.
