[GCFL-discuss] Roy Moore's true colors?

[gcfl-discuss at gcfl.net]

Siarlys, something's got to be VERY wrong with this. Christians would not
be for Segregation. I know zero Christians around the world that support
Segregation. Every Christian I know hates it with a passion. Have you
checked this against Snopes? I just did and it doesn't look like they've
adressed this yet... I'm not finding anything. But I could never imagine
true Christians supporting segregation (these days).
