If you believe that President Obama, or any other GOP or Democrat leader, publicly condemned Westboro Baptist every single time they protested a funeral, then you are not nearly as well researched as you believe. That is beyond reasonable dispute if you look at the actual facts.
According to the briefings in Snyder v Phelps, with which you claim to be familiar, Phelps and his people protested more than 600 military funerals
. They actually protested - in their uniquely vile style - literally
thousands of other funerals as well.

Do you honestly remember Bush, Obama, or any other national politician making public statements or condemnation
every single time Westboro protested? Or would you agree that they did
not do that?
If someone is going to argue that the failure to publicly condemn a protestor or organization
every single time it does something offensive is morally flawed, then what exactly is wrong with pointing out why that reasoning is itself flawed?
Frankly, the discussions that are had in here tend to be more civil than those in which our elected representatives, the media, etc. routinely engage. Now, if some find objectionable the mere discussion of thoughts and ideas with which they don't agree, then I can see why they'd want to shut it down.
Which, interestingly enough, is one of the issues often discussed in here.
