Methodist Ministers pan Bush Library at SMU

According to AP via Yahoo, Methodist ministers across the nation are rallying to object to the Bush Library at Southern Methodist University:

A group of Methodist ministers from across the nation launched an online petition drive Thursday urging Southern Methodist University to stop trying to land George W. Bush's presidential library.

Is this another fracture in the right wing/Christian alliance?

"Methodists have a long history of social conscience, so questions about the conduct of this president are very concerning," said one of the petition's organizers, the Rev. Andrew J. Weaver of New York, who graduated from SMU's Perkins School of Theology.

It's nice to see that the religious community is waking up to the Bush administration's nightmarish abuses of what most people consider "Christian Values".

If you are a Methodist (or not), you can support the effort through a petition drive...

The petition, on a newly created Web site, http://www.protectsmu.org, says that "as United Methodists, we believe that the linking of his presidency with a university bearing the Methodist name is utterly inappropriate."

Utterly inappropriate.  That really doesn't mince words, does it?

And the best quote:

Faculty members also have complained that the library complex's think tank dedicated to the philosophy of the Bush administration would hurt the school's reputation.

"Think tank" and "philosophy of the Bush administration".  Is that the ultimate oxymoron?
