Methodist ministers to Bush: No library for you pal

Methodist ministers launch campaign to stop Bush library

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (AP) – Some ministers will use a PR campaign to try to stop George W. Bush’s presidential library from being built at Southern Methodist University.

Opponents have hired a Maine public relations firm to design ads for Methodist publications.

The Reverend Andrew Weaver of Brooklyn, New York, says the goal is informing people about the center’s partisan think tank.

Weaver says some Methodists believe Bush policies – like the war with Iraq and torturing foreign prisoners – conflict with church teachings.</em>

“Some” believe? WTFs wrong with the rest of ‘em?
