So the nutjob pastor holding this wingding in his church sanctuary couldn't even get 100 of his own flock to attend?
IIRC, Manning has outdone them all with the "Trial of the Century".
I don't know anything about the socioeconomic community from which the Fair Park Bible Fellowship draws its actual membership. However, if it draws much of its membership from the Fair Park neighborhood,
those people have far more serious concerns than Broden and his fellow nutjobs do.

May 3, 2011. Dallas, TX. More than 1,000 children in Fair Park of South Dallas sleep on floors, many without electricity, and with little food. A recent "Poverty in Dallas" tour of by the Greater Dallas Justice Revival (GDJR) church leaders throughout South Dallas revealed miles after miles of poverty. "Poverty worse than the infamous ninth ward of New Orleans" says Rev. Don Parish of True Lee Missionary Baptist Church, one of the tours host.
The Dallas Morning News affirmed that statement in a special report today, by reporter Kim Horner. 58 percent of residents in the Fair Park area lacked a high school education compared with 40 percent of Lower Ninth Ward residents. 62 percent of South Dallas adults had not jobs, compared to 59 percent in the Lower Ninth Ward. 33 percent of South Dallas families lived below the poverty line, about the same as in the Lower Ninth Ward.
...
Hunger, a major force which impacts the area children physically and emotionally, also brings its devastation on the local children educationally. Ninety nine percent of the local area children are considered low income and need food assistance. One group providing groceries for nearly 4000 families a month is the Rev. S.M. Wright Foundation.
...
At a Fair Park location on the "Dallas Poverty Tour" Pastor Wright, a humble quiet man, let the scene of small children sleeping on floors with rodents, no electricity, and sheets serving as doors and windows, speak for itself.
How dare Stephen Broden toy with conspiracy theories and Birthers when this is the neighborhood in which the church sits?
