Eternal Culture War: Pat Buchanan on Notre Dame and Sotomayor

By Bill Berkowitz

…ultural critic, and longtime conservative spokesperson on cable television news (including co-hosting Crossfire, CNN’s groundbreaking shout-fest), he can always be counted on to stir the pot. Shooting from the Lip Sometimes his tone harkens back to those heady days in 1992 when he collected nearly 3 million primary votes and raised more than $14.5 million in campaign contributions. These days, however, he’s doing his share of pot-stirring on MSNBC…

Left, Behind on Obama’s Warren Strategy

By Nick Street

…rupted; Pat Robertson had high praise for Obama in a recent interview with CNN; and when his antigay remarks began to unsettle religious moderates, Rick Warren felt compelled to make a pilgrimage to West Hollywood for a gays-are-people-too photo-op. When a powerful political ally begins to play your opponents like a fiddle, you’re a fool to complain that he’s not letting you call the tune. And unremarked in the pages of RD thus far is the possible…

Ten of Our Favorite Top Tens

By The Editors

…TV, we admit it. But we’ve watched enough to know that the list-makers at Beliefnet missed our favorite in this odd category. They forgot about reality television’s most charismatic Christian, ex-Run-DMC rap star, Reverend Run. In MTV’s Run’s House, the Rev lives with his big, blended family in New Jersey. It’s part hip-hop, part Brady Bunch. And he sermonizes from the bathtub. Bet he would have given a heck of an inaugural invocation too……

Why Don’t Muslims Condemn Terrorism?

By Hussein Rashid

…s most immediate to us. The question is what do we do from there. American news has a responsibility to report on American deaths. British news has a responsibility to report on British deaths. And so on. What happens once that reporting is over? What of the other lives that were lost? CNN, at least, reported on the death of Hemant Karkare, the city’s counterterrorism chief. The rate of death, approximately 30 people/day, is horrible. There is no…

RDBook: Huckabee ♥’s Nobody

By Kyle Mantyla

…nder.” While Huckabee nurtures a deep personal dislike of Romney, what he truly despises is everything Romney represents: the rich, East Coast, insider elites who dominate the Republican Party. Huckabee, the son of a fireman who struggled to make ends meet, effectively wages class warfare against the party insiders and libertarian “faux-cons” in Washington; he lashes out at the likes of National Review magazine and the Club for Growth, whom he cal…

RDGenerations: Religion in the Academy

By Lucia Hulsether

…chemes can make the conflicts disappear. LH: Now who is using jargon? MH: True enough. “Dispensationalism” is the theory that history from Genesis to Armageddon is divided into stages, or dispensations. People build on this idea to claim that all Bible texts are literally true at the same time—we just need to sort them into the right eras. Of course this strategy doesn’t hold up; people wind up ignoring inconvenient passages and fighting about con…

5 Reasons Why the GOP Push to Defund Planned Parenthood Won’t Go Away

By Sarah Posner

…s from paying for abortions for three decades—the anti-Planned Parenthood crusaders falsely portray Planned Parenthood’s main mission as abortion, and frequently refer to it as an “abortion mill.” Last week on the Senate floor, Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona falsely stated that abortion constituted “well over 90%” of Planned Parenthood’s services. When confronted with the correct percentage—a mere three—Kyl told CNN that “his remark was not intended to b…

Uganda Shelves Kill the Gays Bill—For Now

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…sing the issue and that will continue,” he was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency. In “raising the issue,” Bahati and his supporters—some members of the US evangelical community—have accomplished little more than ramping up the harassment and threats against LGBT people in Uganda, as the AP reminds us: Last year a tabloid newspaper in Uganda [Rolling Stone] published the names and photos of men it alleged were gay. One cover included the word…

The Evidence Mounts: Most Americans Support Same-Sex Marriage

By Sarah Posner

…is out with a new poll showing, as did recent ABC News/Washington Post and CNN/Opinion Research Corp. polls, that a majority of Americans support same-sex marriage. The PRRI poll shows 51% of Americans support same-sex marriage, while 43% oppose it. Significantly, 56% support adoption by gay and lesbian couples, while only 36% oppose it. Broken down by religion and political affiliation: A solid majority of Catholics and white mainline Protestants…

A Frustrated Romney Loses Lead in SC

By Joanna Brooks

…matively cannot participate. Romney has participated in hundreds—if not thousands—of such interviews during his time as a member and a lay congregational and lay regional leader for the Church. But what works for proving worthiness in a religious setting may not win over South Carolina voters, as evidenced by the boos at the CNN debate and dramatic last-minute reversals in the polls. No wonder Romney again let his prickly side come out during the…
