They're overdue for another hit of publicity

The case of the father blowing up his house and killing his two children has garnered a fair share of national publicity. With the number of military casualties having diminished over the past few months, the Westboro Baptist Church has had few opportunities to use publicity to spout its message of hate. But they'll be back in action this weekend, this time in Tacoma at the church where the funeral for the two children will be held.

The 'rationale' for their appearance is that Washington is about to enact a same-sex marriage law.  The 'Christians' of Westboro known that the likely passage of this law is the reason why the children died.  So, they must protest. But, as is now common practice by a variety of groups, Occupy Washington will do its best to “protect it (the funeral) from Westboro’s abhorrent message.”
