No, no, NOT Fred "God Hates Fags" Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church. We're talking a slicker, "friendlier" face of hate: the Family Research Council. The D.C.-based group, led by smooth-talking Tony Perkins, has been preaching its distorted "values" for nearly 30 years — and was branded a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2010 for its vitriolic attacks on LGBT people, based on fraudulent research. The group is a spin-off of James Dobson's infamous ultra-right-wing group Focus on the Family.

And they are coming here to Ohio with their "Values BUsh" and the goal of "swinging the election."

Though there are tens of millions of eligible Christian voters in the United States, far too many of them never vote. This disparity must be done away with so values voters can have a voice in 2012. Help us take Ohio out of this lopsided equation!

That actually isn't TRUE (notice a theme here). In fact, the disparity occurs among voters unlikely to vote Republican (which of course is what this group is talking about) who are less likely to vote than evangelical Christians. But the so-called "Values Bus" will be here from April 9-15, looking for voters who share their narrow-minded agenda.

But they'll also be meeting some other folks. The people over at Freedom to Marry, which is growing faster than garlic mustard this spring, plan to be attending the stops of the "Values Bush" and bringing some TRUE truth along. Find out here where they will be when:

If you want to know WHY they will be there, read this from the FRC's website:
