I'm not Baptist but my wife is and she sees it the same as you. Her church withdrew from the SBC a few years ago.
It bugs me that if I hadn't literally been at the center of the action, I might have been on the side of the "fundamentalists." They said the right things and played on peoples' hearts who, rightly so, didn't want Baptists to go the way of so many other denominations. The only problem was that pretty much everything they said were lies.
