Franky Schaeffer is the son of the late, highly influential evangelical thinker Francis Schaeffer, who helped shape the modern conservative evangelical movement. The son boasts he was himself a co-founder of the Religious Right. But he since has denounced Christianity as “stupid,” writes bitter tell-all books about his parents, and ferociously attacks conservative religionists as the virtual root cause of all American evils.
A blogger for The Huffington Post, young Schaeffer is now faulting religious conservatives for facilitating Wall Street greed. He’s imploring the Wall Street Occupiers to “protest the root source of America’s tilt to the far unregulated corporate right.” For Schaeffer, the next logical step is to demonstrate “outside mega churches, Evangelical publishing houses, [and] religious organizations that lead the ‘moral’ crusades against women and gays and all the rest.”
Will the Wall Street Occupiers heed Schaeffer’s frenzied call and next park their tents, blankets and anti-capitalist placards in the parking lots of suburban mega churches? It seems unlikely. But Schaeffer’s demand fits with the crazy Left’s sometime fixation on demonizing opponents based on class and religion.
Thirty years ago, young Schaeffer joined his father in critique of the secular Left. Today, he faults religious conservatives for the “insanity and corruption” that plagues America. In 2008, he endorsed Barack Obama and publicly demanded John McCain renounce his ostensibly “hate-filled supporters.” More recently, he’s slammed Obama’s critics as “racists.” All the energy he once channeled into what he derides as “fundamentalist” Christianity is now furiously focused against all the perceived representatives of his parents’ faith.

We are assured that he will receive his just reward before the Great White Throne.
Nothing but commies.
How about they target greedy Soros, Buffett, and Obama who hands out billions and billions to his favored companies??
Now we’re getting to the true root of the matter. Freaking godless Marxist bastards!! Beginning with the Marxist-in-chief and community communist agitator himself!!
Oh, please come to my church with that so Bubba and I can get in some target practice before deer season! (It’s opening soon)
Are the human sheep/lemmings/zombies of OWS vile enough to do this?
The answer of course is yes, but I strongly suspect the Democratic National Committee will not allow this in an election year.
Orders have therefore been issued not to pursue this at this time.
Of course they want to destroy Christianity. Let me know when they start blowing up mosques.
If you really wanted to chase fifty percent of all Democrats away from the party base...let this guy and his strategy go full-throttle. By early November, I’m predicting that twenty percent of Democrats throughout the heartland will be stepping back away from their party. They won’t buy into this demonstration business, the Communist chit-chat, or the idea of taking more out of the business world.
Thanks for posting that again. I think the black-glad anarchist got his butt kicked though by the “normal” protesters.
What a shame! Francis Shaeffer (the dad) was instrumental in my becoming a Christian.
Frankie has always earned his living off his dad’s name. Now that dad is gone, he has had to go sensationally anti-dad to see if there’s a cash-flow in that corner of the house.
And a few years down the road, he’ll repent of that, and look for a cash flow in being the prodigal returned.
He is a big, bold manipulator.
Demands offered from the steps of Rev. Wright's Temple of Love?
But not before creating a Great Black Mess on earth....
Anyhow, it’s true that humanistic socialism and serious faith in God stand as polar opposites. Socialists get into a swivet over people of faith insisting that God will sort things out, and that evil will eventually bring its own punishment. Socialists say no, that without some Ubermenschen standing as all-planning nannies over humanity, and not just as guardians of godly morals, society will plunge into misery, but that the nannies will cause happiness. The actual failure of socialist systems over more than a hundred years of history seems to get lost on them.
All we ask is that you be respectful, and peaceful...
...otherwise I will put a bullet between your eyes.

Target churches??
Bring it, heretic. That`s where the line will be drawn.
Words fail me.
Well, they’ve called out the cats. It’s a little late to try to herd them.
I was a big fan of his father. What kind of idiot would tarnish the name of a great man simply for the sake of selling a book, or whatever?
