A Kansas group spewing hate across the Metro Flint area a week ago has left what could be a lasting impact. Callers to my radio show were angry about it last Friday when three potests were waged around Genesee County.

When reports came in that small groups had met the Wesboro Baptist Church kooks at an early morning demonstration outside Flint Southestern Academy, my reaction was disappointment that so few bothered to show up and tell them they weren't in Kansas any more and that they're message of hate wasn't welcome here.

Then the calls started.
