BBC showing the Phelps klan

[ProdigalJunkMail]

in a documentary called "The Most Hated Family in America." As an American currently in the UK I feel both despair and hope in seeing this. The despair is plain...that this sort of rage and hatred flourishes in the US. And the hope in the title...they ARE the most hated family not only in the US now and hopefully after this showing, in the world...maybe there is some sanity out there.

2. must have been a slow DU day

for on certain days this would have generated 100+ responses to the hatred of this family...surprising...why today did this drop like a stone?

but you can't expect too much about a programme that most DUers haven't seen.

I felt bad for the kids. It's sad to see parents squelch any chance of happiness for their children. The Westboro Church is a cult plain and simple.

It's safe to say that when these adults die, they will "spilt Hell wide open".
