Salem's Gallagher Talks Phelps Group Out Of Picketing Amish Girls' Funerals

SALEM talk host MIKE GALLAGHER has convinced members of Rev. FRED PHELPS' controversial anti-gay WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH not to picket the funerals of the girls murdered by a gunman at an Amish school in PENNSYLVANIA. GALLAGHER's web site says that he offered an hour of airtime to SHIRLEY PHELPS-ROPER as a guest for their assurance that they will not demonstrate at the funerals. PHELPS' group were preparing to picket because Gov. DE RENDELL had criticized them earlier this year; the group is the same responsible for picketing military funerals because they say AMERICA is displeasing God for tolerating homosexuality.
