That cult-dad was the most ignorant mother fucker I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Jesus fucking Christ. I hope not only that he’s dead, but that it was painful.

Hi Deja. :) Yes, it’d be interesting (encouraging, hopefully) to follow these girls, wouldn’t it? Especially as they can just google their names and read what many people (including other Christians) think about their dad and his beliefs. Of course, “Christopher” probably yanked the internet connection long ago. :(

Thank you! I was tearing up at this episode and raging at the same time haha

It’s just bothers me so much. I hope ALL of his daughters break from his teachings and realize that they can work, go to college, have career, and can be wives and mothers if they want to, not because “they have to.” I hope they realize that they don’t have to be 2nd to men, and I really hope they don’t get into any abusive relationships. It’ll happen…for one of them at least :) it always does in crazy conservative families.

Actually, Lynn, Herman was right here. That part where he says, ‘you got the wrong man, Lord’ …right, oh yeah, wrong man, He’s sure.

I must have missed that Colbert episode. Wow. Another shameless sleezeball with lobbyist ties and motives, now heavily influencing the 2012 election. Just what we need. Frank Luntz on SourceWatch

He oozed slime then and now.

Michelle, I'm so glad that you mentioned Frank Luntz because I know very little about him. Wikipedia says that, aside from being a FOX News contributor, Luntz runs his company, Luntz Global, LLC, which "specializes in message creation and image management for commercial and political clients." The write-up at wikipedia is a little disturbing actually, especially the part under "Use of Language." How horrifying that he's hosting an event from which voters are getting their information about candidates and issues. I also found this: Happy worshippers, unhappy believers which traces happiness not to supernatural intervention, but predictable social factors.

Of course, the only way for evangelicals to “take back” the show is to “change the storytelling in America” (Santorum, literally and metaphorically).

Did this debate get any media coverage whatsoever? Maybe I’ve been looking in the wrong places, but I am frustrated by what looks to me to be a lack of public interest in the radical beliefs of these candidates.
