Fox News loves that “old time religion” which, at Fox, leans to the evangelical with a smattering of “Father Jonathan” for the Catholics. Before his death, Reverend Jerry Falwell was a frequent guest on Fox. Only yesterday, Cavuto interviewed an evangelical who says that it's not weather that is causing devastation; but God, who is damning the world for its sins. And in its promotion...

Guest article by Watcher's Lamp Since the passing of Jerry Falwell, it seems that politically motivated religious groups are competing for the attention of the American electorate during this campaign season.

Since the passing of Jerry Falwell, it seems that politically motivated religious groups are competing for the attention of the American electorate during this campaign season. Now, another self appointed "non-group" of public square Christians step up to the podium at the National Press Club to act as spokesmen for American Evangelicals… The Evangelical Manifesto claims [...]

While others in the media have played snippets of Rev. Wright's sermons over and over to call into question Barack Obama for his association with his pastor, they've remained conspicuously silent on the statements of conservative Christian leaders John Hagee, Jerry Falwell and Rod Parsley. As I’ve blogged many times before, the snippets of Wright's [...]

Fort Worth Star-Telegram editorial board member and columnist Linda Campbell has, "McCain's half-truths about judges." John McCain ought to be ashamed of himself. In his most pandering performance since speaking at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University to prove that he could...

This week, Tim Russert told Don Imus the Corporate Media wasn't covering John McCain's outrageous rightwing pastors like John Hagee and Rod Pastor because he didn't have video. There’s been a lot of chatter on that, you know, about Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson's comments after September 11th. If there was video of Hagee, it makes all the difference in the world. Well Tim, here is...

... Farrakhan is more or less offensive than blaming abortion doctors and gays for Sept. 11, 2001, as Jerry Falwell infamously did two days after the terrorist attacks. But in the warped minds of some on the left, uttering such inanities is not only “understandable,” it's laudable. That is, of course, if the person alleging that the government created AIDS to kill African-Americans is...

“Obama may have a spring problem with Wright, but McCain's gonna have a fall problem with the right,” Beckel told FOXNews.com. Beckel said McCain's move to cozy up to the religious right after famously calling televangelists Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell “agents of intolerance” is Democratic fodder. “It's an exploitable point for the Democrats and [...]

E.J. Dionne reminds us that there are far more influential political pastors than Reverend Wright who have intimated the God condemns America: Two days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Jerry Falwell, appearing on Pat Robertson's “700 Club,” declared: “I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and [...]

... pompous and egocentric mistake other politically-oriented TV preacher-performers have made before. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson come to mind. Republican politicians for decades did not disavow them, but sought their endorsement. Ronald Reagan went so far in 1980 as to tell a Religious Right gathering, "you can't endorse me, but I endorse you." In contrast, Obama has stated repeatedly...

From: When is a Jeremiah not a Jeremiah? by Andrew R. Murphy When attempting to sort through the controversy over Wright's remarks, there seems little reason to linger over the comments about September 11, which do not differ greatly from those offered by a noted white pastor, Jerry Falwell. Falwell, as many will recall, laid the attacks at the feet of those who have pursued a...
