Given that the WBC has adopted the policy of cancelling appearances whenever they are co-opted into fundraisers by gay activists (which is rapidly becoming a popular tactic for dealing with them), I'd say the odds that it's all just a scam are pretty long. For a while I thought Phelps might have been a ringer in the tradition of Poe's Law, but if he'd rather cancel his protests than see them used as gay rights fundraisers, he's probably a legitimate psycho.

The few people I've known who dealt with Phelps (mostly ACLU lawyers) say he is:  A.  A hate filled person, and B.  A smart cookie.
I agree that both can be true.
