Comments on: Liberals and Religion http://www.thetalentshow.org/2004/04/30/liberals-and-religion/ Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:08:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: The Worthy Thane of Ross http://www.thetalentshow.org/2004/04/30/liberals-and-religion/#comment-2567 The Worthy Thane of Ross Sat, 01 May 2004 17:13:26 +0000 http://www.thetalentshow.org/2004/04/30/liberals-and-religion/#comment-2567 I'm disgusted by the fact that the religious right constantly name drops Dr King, knowing full well what they would be doing if he were still alive today. First of all, the religious right would be against him, not for him (Since he also supported leftist economic policies) - Furthermore, the godliness the religious right likes to bring up when pretending they're his heirs wouldnt' save him from the religious right's most successful attack, namely deliberately exposing his philandering to dis credit him, while subtely playing to white male racism. Props to greg's making this distinction, but my contention is that so called Liberal Christians have completely dropped the ball. it's their fault that the religious right now represents christianity in this country, and it's up to them to form the media groups neccesary to counter it.

He was free to "God" it up whenever he pleased... Not to mention, MLK was minister and not a holder of elected public office. He was free to “God” it up whenever he pleased…
