Since when is WBC "big"? They're like you said, an inbred family of hicks with signs, not
Lakewood Church. The only thing "big" about them is how aware people are of them and the only way they got that way has been by having perhaps the greatest shock value of any group of people to have held a picket sign this side of the holocaust. Got a source on the claim that they've sued their way to riches?
