Marathon Pundit: Westboro Baptist "Church" documentary to air on Showtime Tuesday night

I don't have Showtime, but if you do, you may want to tune in Tuesday night at 10pm EST (9PM Central), to learn more about Fred Phelps' Topeka, Kansas based Westboro Baptist "Church."

From the Lawrence Journal-World:

"Fall from Grace," the documentary directed by a Kansas University graduate student about Topeka’s Westboro Baptist Church, is getting national media attention as its national TV debut approaches.

The film, which depicts the anti-gay beliefs and demonstrations of the group led by Fred Phelps, airs at 9 p.m. Tuesday on Showtime, with several repeat showings planned. It was directed by K. Ryan Jones.

A Bloomberg News reviewer offers this take on the film:

The 70-minute documentary marks the filmmaking debut of K. Ryan Jones, a student at the University of Kansas who interviewed Phelps and several of his 13 children. Most appear to have inherited the loony gene; one or two have also succumbed to the temptations of the deep-fat fryer.

Yet they do have one profound talent: spewing hatred.
