Yet another hit from Simon & Shuster and their corporate cousin "60 Minutes". Expect more until the elections are over.

Despite a publisher-enforced embargo, a copy of the book was purchased early at a Manhattan bookstore by a producer for MSNBC's "Countdown," a spokesman for the cable channel said. Program host Keith Olbermann began reading excerpts on his Wednesday show. Another orchestrated hit job by the DBM.

No kidding. Evangelicals sell our collective souls in the market place and in the political arena.
If we focused our efforts on what we are called to do and not create a big Israel we wouldn't need to worry about everything else.

The assertions by David Kuo, a top official in the faith-based initiatives program Definitely the wrong person for THAT job. I wonder what axe he has to grind.

I don't understand why the publication of these books and the subsequent appearance by the author on 60 Minutes and the other talk shows upsets people around here. They're just doing for guys like Woodward and Kuo what they did for Gary Aldrich.

Anything to demoralize the base. *sigh*
Considering the next Democrat administration will likely bring back public crucifiction, I'd say I'm pretty happy with the one we've got now.

"Top Official," probably means a nepotic hire charged with making sure the trashcans were emptied.

TRANSLATION:See. B.S. "news" and their buddies don't want evangelicals to vote in '06...so they come out with this
crap a month before the election!!
LOL, it is so friggin' transparent...the headline should be that they think evangelicals are "nuts" and "goofy".
Give it up, LameStream Media.

Program host Keith Olbermann began reading excerpts on his Wednesday show. All sixteen viewers of Olbermann's show were outraged.

If you're not used to being called a nut - or worse - you're probably not an evangelical.

imo, anyone who squeals this kind of stuff at an opportune time before an election has no honor and doesn't deserve an audience.
it's obvious that the main goal in this election is to demotivate Christians from going to the polls. the target audience for these hit pieces is the conservative base, not the moderate so-called swing vote.
it's only motivating me all the more.

Of course, you make an excellent point.
MSM (and 60 Minutes in particular) always, ALWAYS carrying water for the Dems, and going into overdrive in October of even-numbered years.
My only hope is that by now, evangelicals, and all conservatives for that matter, see this for what it is and will respond accordingly.

??? Good Question!
The thought process goes like this: if we elect the right politicians, and pass the right laws, then God will heap His blessings down on us. It comes from the covenant of works that is found through Scripture. God would promise to do xyz if Israel did their part. The problem is that Israel did not, could not, do their part, and they would be hauled of to Babylon every few generations.
The problem is two-fold: like I already said, Israel could not carry out their end of the deal, so why do Evangelicals think America can. Second, the deal was with national Israel, not the US.
If we Evangelicals could get it through our collective heads that Christians are Spiritual Israel, and live like it, things would be better for our nation and for Christianity.

Yes, the slew of Bush-bashing books, the "Foley fallout" and "fake but accurate" polls are all part of Dems' GOP-voter-suppression campaign. It worked for them several times before, far better than motivating their eclectic groups to vote. I doubt that this time it will work for them any better than regular mid-term election, but they'll declare victory anyway...

Thanks for the complement.
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
Mark 3
(talking about Jesus)
21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
