The Westboro Baptists are going to protest at the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards.

Kansas church famous for its anti-homosexual protests at funerals plans to protest at the Saturday funeral of Elizabeth Edwards, the estranged wife of two-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.

The Westboro Baptist Church plans to protest for 45 minutes before the funeral set for 1 p.m. at Edenton Street United Methodist Church in downtown Raleigh, according to the church’s website.

The group provided the Raleigh Police Department late Thursday with a notice of intent to demonstrate, police spokesman Jim Sughrue said.

Predictable, but disgusting. H/T Zak Slayback.
