Phelps: Billy Graham A Gay Shill
(Greensboro, North Carolina) When Southern Baptists meet next week in Greensboro, North Carolina for their annual convention they'll be met by a protest like they have never seen before - one accusing them of being too liberal - especially when it comes to gays.

The Southern Baptist Convention condemns homosexuality, denies gays the right to become pastors, and gives churches the right to refuse membership to gays. It also has been supportive of constitutional bans on same-sex marriage.

Nevertheless, the Rev. Fred Phelps and members of his Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka, Kansas are planning to picket the convention.

Phelps and his followers - mostly family members who have been described as a cult - are particularly angry that the denomination will honor the Rev. Billy Graham.

1. The SBC does not publicly advocate killing Gays
You go Fred! Stir it up. I think physical confrontations are warranted. Break things. Throw things. Make sure the TV cameras are rolling. Regardless of any denials, everyone in attendance at Greensboro, (attendees or protestors) are the base of the republican party. Hate Gays, kill gays - get the vote out for the gop.
