So says Bill Donohue at the Catholic League. He seems to have a point.

James Dobson seems unaware that John McCain and Sarah Palin have diverged from the Republican platform. In his new interview of Sarah Palin, he gushes about how pro-life the Republican platform is. “The Republican Platform is the strongest pro-life, pro-family document to come out of a political party, even more so than the platforms during…

Here’s a rough transcript of some of the key moments in the fascinating interview of Sarah Palin by James Dobson of Focus on the Family. You can listen to it here: God & The Mainstream Media Filter: Palin says she need’s God’s help to go around the mainstream media to get her message out: “You…

The Sarah Palin interview with James Dobson of Focus on the Family I’m listening to it now and will add more quotes as I transcribe but this one line really struck me as particularly fascinating. Palin and Dobson were talking about the birth of Trig. Dobson described her decision to carry Trig to term as…

One of the most striking parts of Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama was his accusation that Republicans have helped spread the rumor that Obama is Muslim, and turned the word into a smear. “I have heard senior members of my own Party drop the suggestion he’s Muslim and he might be associated with terrorists,”…

The new Pew poll has Obama making amazing gains among Catholics and Mainline Protestants. Most interesting, some of the biggest gains were among regular church goers: White Catholics who attend mass weekly favored McCain 52-36% a month ago. Now, it’s tied at 45%. White Mainline Protestants who go to church weekly favored McCain 53% to…

In talking about her faith, Palin does not sound like some intolerant religious crazy. She sounds quite mainstream. She asks God to bless America but also other countries.I’m disappointed that, when David Brody asked her to talk about her Pentecostal faith — to clear up misconceptions — she ducked that part of the question entirely.…

Warming up a John McCain rally in North Carolina, Republican Congressman Robin Hayes declared: “Folks, there’s a real America, and liberals hate real Americans that work, and accomplish, and achieve, and believe in God. That’s a great comparison.”

When I saw the Huffington Post headline, “Muslim McCain Fans Confront Intolerance At Rally,” I figured it would be a video showing a mob of intolerant McCainiacs. The video actually reflects very well on most of the McCain supporters featured here:On the other hand, this video would seem to indicate that the use of the…

I’m not defending robocalls as a genre of campagning. Nor am I saying it’s politically wise for the McCain campaign to be spending much time on the “born alive” issue. But I will say this: the language of the robocalls on born-alive is close-to-accurate and that piece of legislation is a legitimate issue for those…
