Considering Matt Frei (who writes the Washington Diary) considers those who are Creationists to be complete morons (solely because of their position on the origins of life and the universe--because they are Creationists, they must be stupid in almost every area), Thoreaux' piece is rather level-headed.
This family, apart from protesting at soldiers' funerals, doesn't seem that extreme. Christianity does hold the view that homosexuality is bad. Christians can be friends with homosexuals, and can definitely work with them, and even more definitely let them come to church (so that they might change), without becoming members.

Not to detract from the substance of the article, but aren't the Bushes the most hated family in America?

I wonder if they are part of the Dobson tribe?

Iiiiiinteresting.
According to this BBC article, Theroux has interviewed members of the Klan.
How does he consider the Phelpses to be more extreme than the Klan? For one, they are probably as anti-homosexuality as the Phelpses, and added onto that they are racist and have violent history. Also, personally wouldn't consider them to be among the most intelligent of people.

The Phelps have their purpose and place. That would be to cover Rosie and other like her in a mass grave.

Wow. Just watched Louis Theroux's documentary and I'm not sure whether to kidnap the small children in that family or just sit back in baffled amazement. A whole load of people brought up under the thrall of an old man who can't answer the simplest of questions. Have any of them even read the Bible? The whole "worshipping false gods" thing certainly seems to have passed them by.
