‘You’re a Big Dips**t’: Famed Country Singer Clashes With Westboro Protesters (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/09/10/youre-a-big-dipst-famed-county-singer-clashes-with-westboro-protesters/)

Every once in a while, Westboro Baptist Church, the anti-gay group that regularly captures headlines, elicits a response from the subjects of its oft-times harsh protests. On Sunday, famed country star Vince Gill was among those who refused to remain silent, as he confronted two church members in a back-and forth that was captured on video.
Country Singer Vince Gill Clashes With Westboro Baptist Church Protesters

It’s no secret that Westboro has a penchant for creating furor with its virulent protests, offensive one-liners and colorful and demeaning placards. Gill, though, wasn’t willing to stand by and merely watch from the sidelines.

See, the group was apparently in Kansas City, Mo., to protest Gill’s concert, claiming that he is an adulterer for divorcing his first wife and subsequently marrying Christian singer Amy Grant.

In the short clip a woman (a part of the church) is heard asking why Gill is interacting with the group. The singer responds, “I just came out to see what hate looked like.”

...Gill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Rest_High_on_That_Mountain) began writing the song following the death of country music superstar Keith Whitley, who died in 1989. Gill did not finish the song until a few years later following the death of his older brother Bob, in 1993, of a heart attack.
