Graham’s Muslim Brotherhood Conspiracy Theory Not New

By Sarah Posner

…r information that is critical of Muslims and Muslim-Americans getting involved in public policy. They compile that into a guilt-by-association Powerpoint and then shop it to reporters.” These individuals include, said Khan, Frank Gaffney, who issues baseless warnings to members of Congress about “creeping shari’ah;” Paul Sperry, co-author of the book Muslim Mafia, which claimed that the Council on American Islamic Relations had infiltrated Capito…

Why the Hell Does Hell Still Matter?

By Kathryn Gin

…eventually be saved represented an extreme backlash against the dominant Calvinist notion that God chose only some for heaven. Universal salvation seemed a better fit with the heady atmosphere of Revolutionary optimism and the Enlightenment faith in human ability. Yet believers in universal salvation did not become a majority after 1800. Instead, the Protestant orthodoxy found new ways to argue for hell’s relevance in the fledgling nation. It was…

Republicans Tell Iowa Homeschoolers Education Not Government’s Role

By Julie Ingersoll

…com: Get government out of the way of our education so we can educate ourselves and our children. There are some people in our government who aren’t interested in the same things that you and I are interested in. They are trying to create some kind of world order. Bachmann touted her background as an Iowan and a homeschool mom. She told the crowd: “The family has a level of authority that the government may have trampled on. We need to make sure t…

Nobel Laureates Tell Gov. Jindal to Repeal Anti-Evolution Law

By Lauri Lebo

A Louisiana high-school senior who is leading an uphill battle to repeal his state’s anti-evolution “academic freedom” law just added a bunch of heavy hitters to his list of supporters. Less than a week after a state lawmaker introduced a bill to repeal the law, officially known as the Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA), 41 science Nobel Laureates sent a letter to Gov. Bobby Jindal and members of the legislature backing the measure. “Biologic…

Muslims Need Not Apply—To the White House or Congress

By Julie Ingersoll

…g Tea Party groups (and the “herd of cats” style of the tea partiers themselves) allows tea partiers to say all kinds of distorted and extreme things which can then be denied by other tea partiers. The result for those of us trying to follow the movement is that every time we write about something extreme, it’s dismissed with “well, every movement has its fringe folks.” I started to write this a week ago but had second thoughts because the whole e…

Tim Pawlenty’s Dilemma: How Far Will His Anti-Choice Extremism Go?

By Sarah Posner

Republican presidential hopeful and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty has a problem, the same problem every GOP aspirant has: he wants to be radical enough for the party’s base, yet he has to appear anodyne enough for the rest of the country if he wins the nomination. In Pawlenty’s case, the answer to the latter call was to write an extremely dull book about himself, Courage to Stand. Conor Friedersdorf, for one, is unimpressed. Noting Pawle…

Remembering Gil Scott-Heron

By Mark Hulsether

As I write, the news has just crossed the wire that Gil Scott-Heron died on April 27, at only 62 years old. He was among a select handful of the musicians most influential for the rise of hip-hop music and slam poetry, during its immediate pre-history from the late 1960s to early 1980s. I first heard Scott-Heron in the 1970s for his signature anthem of black militancy, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”; and I heard him on tour in the 1980s w…

Student To Michele Bachmann: “Presidential Candidates Shouldn’t be able to Make Stuff Up”

By Lauri Lebo

It’s been a week since 17-year-old Zack Kopplin called out Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann to back up her assertions that there are Nobel Prize winners who endorse intelligent design. And even though Kopplin’s challenge has gotten a fair share of media attention, there hasn’t been a peep about it from Bachmann’s office. Here is Kopplin on MSNBC’s HardBall with Chris Matthews. Love his statement, “Presidential candidates shouldn’t be able…

Gay Judge’s Prop. 8 Decision Holds

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ture ban on female, black, atheist, and Jewish judges serving in cases involving minority constitutional rights. If he’s right, then it’s even more of a slap for a judge they perceive as a lazy liberal to set them back on their heels. Indeed, Ware rebuked Prop 8 proponents by reiterating the entire point of having an impartial judiciary system—whether we agree with their rulings or not: “In our society, a variety of citizens of different backgroun…

Will Huntsman’s Mormon Mojo Work on the National Stage?

By Joanna Brooks

Tuesday was announcement day for Jon Huntsman, Jr., the second Mormon former governor to join the field of Republican 2012 presidential contenders. His campaign team had chosen a classic location very much in the key of Ronald Reagan: Liberty State Park, New Jersey, where the candidate set up his podium against the backdrop of the Hudson and the Statue. (Even though you’d never know it from television close shots that entirely screened out Lady L…
