I think I should be noted that this group of whackos is pretty small, limited chiefly to Rev. Phelps and his "extended family." Here's the quote from the article Clinton linked to:

The church, Westboro Baptist Church, is not affiliated with a larger denomination and is made up mostly of Fred Phelps' extended family members.
During the 1990s, church members were known mostly for picketing the funerals of AIDS victims, and they have long been tracked as a hate group by the Montgomery, Ala.-based Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project.

There's certainly no doubt that these people are crazies. Even Pat Robertson wouldn't go this far.
