BBC: The Most Hated Family In America - The Phelps' genre: Gaylingual & Hip-Gnosis & Video-Philes

The following three video clips represent the second half of a two part posting at Thought Theater of a BBC documentary by Louis Theroux of the Fred Phepls family and his Westboro Baptist Church titled The Most Hated Family In America. The first half of the documentary can be found here.

Theroux's documentary actually preceded the Keith Allen documentary Keith Allen Will Burn In Hell which was previously presented at Thought Theater here and here. Theroix has made a number of documentaries for the BBC...frequently featuring what one might call unusual people.

Theroux spent a full three weeks at the Westboro Baptist Church compound. His style is decidedly different than the aggressive approach taken by Keith Allen. Theroux is far more subtle and one can watch him looking for chinks in the armor of those he interviews. His laid back mannerisms seem to have allowed him to be more disarming with some of the Phelps clan.

Theroux's got to get beyond the family name
(son of high profile establishment types)
drop the one note Harry Potter pose, and
leave his life long post at the state run
propaganda arm ---BBC.

Time to turn those cameras away from the
self-made oddballs and shine it on his own
'hidden masters' and their chilling belief system
----EUGENICS.

THAT agenda has been cunningly promoted by
every single work of Louis Theroux.
