Martyrs are never a problem. People forget them. Especially if they're whack jobs.

Bin Laden is better dead and a martyr than alive and planning attacks. Phelps is better off dead (full stop). Usually, the only "martyrs" that are effective in rallying people are popular ones that embody good things, like Neda in Iran (and even then, her death didn't lead to good changes).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

What would they have been protesting at her funeral?

Because God wants them to have free publicity and do some fund raising

Of course, you realize that if anything happens to them now you could have a serious problem....

Oh, to have that problem! I'd love to be known as the person who incited someone to wipe out Phelps.

Hmm, willing to accept those consequences; you're not making this ethical dilemma easy for me.

I keep expecting them to protest the wrong funeral and get beat to death

Yes, it says a lot about the character of the people at the funeral versus them.

I'm really seriously surprised they haven't at least been beaten to a pulp yet.
