Re: Rod’s post, the savagery of political trench warfare in the Christian Tammany Hall is an old story. In the run-up to the ‘88 Iowa caucus, the whispering campaign of the Robertson supporters was that Jack Kemp was gay, while the whispering campaign of Kemp’s religious right supporters was that Robertson belonged to an Asian cult. I guess every word of the Bible is divinely inspired except Exodus 20:16.
