Cultural Cuisinart

Frank Schaeffer posted an amazing article over at the Huffington Post about his the Republican Party's long history of embracing religious leaders who have advocated extremist, hate filled positions. This is especially relevant, as the right-wing attempts to attack Barack Obama, because the pastor of his church said some inflammatory things in his sermons.

Again, this is a critical point moving towards the general election. We need to be aware of the hypocrisy tainting this entire race. McCain's supporters will get away with slamming Obama for this, while he gets a free pass from the media for his active (that's a key word) courting of some of the nastiest right-wingers religious nuts out there, such as John Hagee.
