…”; and claimed that Hitler and his stormtroopers were all gay. No one took PFAW up on its suggestion, and AFA’s founder and chairman emeritus Don Wildmon was feted at the Summit’s gala with the James C. Dobson Values & Leadership Award, which declared him “one of the most effective Christian leaders of our time.” At the award dinner, anti-gay marriage crusader Bishop Harry Jackson called him a “legend” and “the ultimate advocate for the kingdom of…

By Peter Montgomery

…politics of many churches.) Also speaking was People For the American Way President Michael Keegan, who recapped some of the worst anti-gay rhetoric from religious right leaders scheduled to speak at the VVS; he called them the spiritual heirs to Jerry Falwell, who inspired PFAW’s founder Norman Lear into action by asserting that you couldn’t be a good American unless you were the right kind of Christian, and you couldn’t be a good Christian with…

Netanyahu’s Speech, Lane’s Trip, and the Impossibility of Boycotts

By Sarah Posner

…ip the same God. It’s not surprising that the RNC members didn’t care what PFAW or the SPLC think of their trip—or even what the ADL has to say. The trip, organized by Christian Zionists, isn’t intended to make either left-leaning watchdogs or leading American Jewish organizations happy. It’s intended to continue to build a movement of Christians who uncritically support Israel—a movement from which, in the end, right-leaning pro-Israel American J…

By Sunnivie Brydum

…Wing Watch this month published an important report by RD contributor (and PFAW senior fellow) Peter Montgomery, offering a compelling portrait of a group that calls itself POTUS Shield (which also stands for “Prophetic Order of the United States”).

…upported slavery [full disclosure: as my bio notes, I’m a senior fellow at PFAW]. Robertson said that the Bible supported slavery, but added, “We have moved in our conception of the value of human beings until we realized slavery was terribly wrong.” As RWW blogger Brian Tashman noted, “Of course, when Dan Savage made a similar point about the Bible (albeit with saltier language), the Religious Right was irate.” Savage picked up on the Robertson c…

FRC’s Perkins Selling Straight Hot Sex

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

Faced with a growing acceptance of gay and lesbian people in both society and the church, the religious right is rolling out its new sales pitch for heterosexuality: “Married heterosexuals have the best sex!” After failing to sell the younger generation on the intrinsic value of marriage as the best way to raise children, they’ve decided to back up a few steps and instead pitch the great baby-making sex that straight married couples apparently ha…

Don’t Ignore Lies About Economic Stimulus, Religious Freedom

In recent years they’ve leveled that charge most c…
