No, 100,000 People Did Not Gather In Peru To Support Kim Davis. Heres Proof.http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2015/09/28/3706199/kim-davis-prayer-rally-peru/
Embattled Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis was the guest of honor at this years Values Voter Summit.
Mat Staver, chairman of the Liberty Counsel, which legally represents her, praised her courage and claimed that 100,000 people had attended a prayer rally to support her in Peru.
Staver posted the following image at the summit to support his claim,
except the photo is from a prayer rally in May, 2014 having nothing to do with Kim Davis.
(Doesnt lying break one of the '10 Commandments'?)

I'm not a big fan of "prayer rallies", since the whole concept contradicts what I was taught, namely that prayer is a private matter between you and God.

These republicans playing christians could care less about the truth. They worship $$$ and power above all else. They really are disciples of Ayn Rand not Jesus.
It is so easy to see the wolves in sheep's clothing. Like Trump the other day at a press conference waving around a bible and claiming to be a believer...LOLZ!

But I'm guessing that they're not that clever.
