Margaret Cho: God Bless You, Fing Fers

By Lisa Webster

…berries. (And maybe drinking beer out of a brown bag.) Over at margaretcho.com the knives are coming out, and, like I said, some bags of poo for throwing. Someone over there just invited Cho to “move to the Middle East.” Or, more precisely, “f**ing move to the Middle East.” Because she loves the desert? I don’t really get this. No, I do. It’s just that it’s really such a leap, from pro-choice feminist to Lady Bin Laden. Right now, after covering t…

The Birth of Glenn Beck’s Nation

By Kelly J. Baker

…coverage concludes that Beck is, at best, “bonkers.” Alex Pareene of Salon.com, however, realizes that perhaps this is not “some sort of victory”; that leaving Fox is not the end of Beck, but rather that his legacy might not be as a talking head but as an amateur historian, the creator of Beck University, with a clear, and popular, articulation of nation. The tagline for BU promises, “learn history as it really happened” with David Barton respons…

Graham Whistles “Dixie” on Morning Joe

By Anthea Butler

…our, and regularly has the tail numbers of his planes blocked at Flightware.com. What does he have to hide? Franklin Graham’s appearances are coordinated to help out whichever Republican conservative candidate he perceives to be on top at any given time. Like his father, he wants to be the prayer partner of Presidents. But Franklin, frankly, is too crass for his own good. Crowing about his Christianity on television, while barely concealing both h…

Catholic Healthcare Is Not the Enemy

By Frances Kissling

…the story to Fox News, and by April 1 it was picked up by The Nation, Salon.com, Slate and influential blogs like Talking Points Memo (TPM) and the ACLU blog. The hospital and the system have been silent* but for an April 1 statement from St. John Health, which read: Consistent with Catholic health care organizations, St. John Health System operates in accordance with the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, [the Dir…

Reza Aslan’s Viral Fox News Interview Reveals More Than Just Christian Privilege

By Jeffrey Scholes

…about—the interview that religion scholar, Reza Aslan, gave on the FoxNews.com webcast, “Spirited Debate”—or as Buzzfeed put it, “The Most Embarrassing Interview Fox News Has Ever Done.” If you haven’t had the chance to see it, or if you aren’t able to watch it now (below, right), here’s what happened, briefly. The interviewer, Lauren Green, purportedly embarrasses herself by primarily asking Aslan not about the substance of his new book, Zealot:…

Sarah Palin: Bus Tour of Destruction

By Anthea Butler

…al about what he knows can only make Palin nervous. The tit-for-tat snarky comments between Palin and Johnston are both funny and sad, and the tantalizing “there are some things that I know (about Sarah) that are HUGE” is a scimitar hanging over Palin’s carefully coiffed hair. His recent comment that Palin called her down syndrome baby “retarded” is either a big FAIL on his part, or an indictment of her mothering skills. No matter what he says for…

Mennonite in a Midlife Crisis (of Faith)

By Brittany Shoot

…rdable house, vacated by her husband for a man named Bob that he met on Gay.com. Involved in a car accident weeks after her husband’s departure, Janzen surely could have languished in her overpriced lake house. Instead, she took a much-needed trip home. Peppering her recovery at home with stories from childhood, Janzen offers a witty account of the ways Mennonite faith has affected her life, whether up close and personal or far removed from her ev…

At Launch Rally in Waco, Former President Sets the Stakes for Trump ’24 Campaign with Apocalyptic, Violent, Genocidal Rhetoric

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…ing that vengeance shall be theirs. As Peter Manseau wrote: https://twitter.com/plmanseau/status/1639956453954928641?s=20 This wasn’t the only moment where a Trump rally engaged with problematic music. Not for the first time, the rally played music resembling the QAnon theme song, “Wwg1wga,” much as he did in September in Ohio. It might be easy to dismiss the cheesy version of the “Star Spangled Banner” or the QAnon tune (which reeks of stock musi…

Who’s Smearing Obama?

By Svend White

…national stage) to published Op-Ed, albeit on the yellow pages of FrontPage.com. (A similar pattern occurred several weeks ago when a charge emanating from Sean Hannity’s radio program made its way into the prime time ABC debate, co-moderated by Stephanopoulos, who days earlier as a guest on Hannity’s program joked that we was “taking notes right now.”) Luttwak’s pickup of the Pipes argument was riddled with unfounded generalizations, oversimplifi…

Conservative Christians: Think Twice Before Claiming ‘Islam Is Not a Religion’

By Chad Bauman

…ast 2011, the fiery Radha Rajan has been arguing, as she did for Vijayvaani.com, that all Abrahamic religions like Christianity are intent on conquering the world for their jealous God, and are therefore, “about political power and control of territory,” and that “Abrahamic ideologies are always about numbers.” Fears about the growth of Christianity and claims like these have been used successfully to restrict religious freedom in India. Since the…
