The largest crowd of conservatives in metro Atlanta on Tuesday evening paid $30 a head to listen to the talk radio line-up of WGKA (920AM) trash President Barack Obama’s first 100 days in office.

Several hundred (their estimate, not mine, but it was SRO) gathered at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center to listen to Dennis Prager, Hugh Hewitt and Bill Bennett — who were at the tail end of a 12-city tour.

One of the co-sponsors was Sadie Fields and the Georgia Christian Alliance. But it was not her event, as demonstrated by the pay-as-you-go bar.

Here’s the question: If a state should consider paying girls not to get pregnant, would that be payment for abstinence, or birth control? And if birth control — well, that’s an interesting Gingrich thought.

When he last appeared in the AJC two weeks ago, state Rep. Calvin Hill (R-Canton) had — before a House committee — backtracked a bit on his criticism of state universities that offer programs with a sexual emphasis.

Hill defended his interest in the issue but said he never specifically accused Georgia State University of doing anything wrong. He also said the media had blown the subject out of proportion.

“It’s been taken sideways by people who like the titillating words,” he said.

Apparently, Hill’s interest has been revived. On his Facebook page yesterday afternoon, the lawmaker posted this:

Exposing the Obscene Classes in GA Universities: You are paying for it!

They just don’t get it! Those off the wall folks that think I am gay bashing when I exposed classes on “Queering The South” at Kennesaw State and “ Queer Theory” at UGA, not to mention Georgia State’s experts in Male Prostitution, Queer Theory and Oral Sex.

I am exposing what your taxes are …
