She deserves all the praise in the world. Overcoming that intense brainwashing has to be incredibly difficult.

Megan is proof that there is hope for the world.

I am brittish and this for me is the definition od being a true american. Open minded, kind, clever and looking forward.

I really feel sorry for her. Even though the things they do are awful, they are still her parents and her sisters and she must still love them and miss them so much. It must be so hard for her to never be able to see even her sisters again.

WHOA had no idea how wonderfully kind and genuine Sarah is. She’s an incredible interviewer.

she doesn’t go for the “i was indoctrinated” angle she flat out says “i believed this. this is why i did these terrible things.” and that takes some true character. cool lady.

WOW. Everything about this blows my mind. I was raised in a fundamentalist evangelical community but it was nowhere near this extreme. Listening to her stories, her attitude, and seeing the way Sarah looks at her is just... I dunno, the whole thing is amazing.

I love that Sarah makes a point to introduce Megan as her friend. I think she knows that people still might judge Megan for her past, but Sarah is sort of protecting her before that starts because she knows people can change.

I want to congratulate Silverman for not making her interviews about a fight for attention. She is making the interview about the guest.

She's so eloquent & beautiful! Not a scary clone of her mom like before. In case you EVER doubt your decision to leave the cult, don't. So many ex-Nazis & white supremacists have done the same. I'm sure many more will follow. Awesome interview.

Another fantastic interview, with a bit of humor thrown in,. Thank you Sarah.

Its crazy how beautiful someone looks/is when they're not expressing so much hate. Megan is a completely different person.

Even if your family is evil, we still unfortunately love them. I really felt for her when she almost started crying about her family.

Sarah and Megan, very nice interview. I'm sorry for the loss of your family Megan. You're showing everyone that God is love. Whether you're Christian, Jewish, black or white, gay or straight. Three things he gave us, Faith Hope and Love , and the greatest is Love. We are all here to love one another. So, from someone from the LGBT community, I say Thank You. Thank you for opening your heart .

Megan Phelps is inspiring. I love her story and I really appreciate learning that for as hurtful as Westboro is, they think they are being loving. That is so valuable to understand. How many extremists are this way? I don’t know. I expect the majority of bad ideas stem from fear, not “love”, but it is very important to find out what motivates extremist views.
