• Running Against Sodom and Osama: The Christian Right, Values Voters and the Culture Wars in 2006

  
  

  A new article looks at how the 2004 strategy of the religious right has been revived for this election. Co-authors Chip Berlet and Pam Chamberlain write: "Although leaders of the Christian Right almost universally deny it, the goal of this revived campaign is to elect Republicans to office. The enemy being denounced is sometimes generic: gays, liberals, secularists, the left-leaning media and Hollywood; and sometimes specific: Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Rosie O’Donnell and the ACLU, but the actual target is the Democratic Party and its candidates." Chip Berlet joins us from Boston. [includes rush transcript]
