God Hates Phelps
The BBC did a documentary on the Westboro Baptist Church. (This is the first of 7 parts, and the whole thing is on YouTube.) It’s refreshing to look at them and what they represent from a non-USian perspective, and horrifying to remember that I live in a country where such a ministry of hate exists.
As a friend said, I keep expecting the reporter to start interviewing them in a way that makes them look even more absurd, Daily Show-style. (He does look a bit like a Mo Rocca/John Oliver hybrid.) Yet he doesn’t, and professional but incredulous demeanor really suits the subject.
