Reid 'Losing Her Mind' Christian Conservative Trump Supporters Exist
April 2nd, 2024 8:16 PM
According to Joy Reid, host of MSNBC’s The ReidOut, MAGA groups are not only committing idolatry by supporting Donald Trump, but additionally, Trump was a cult leader similar to Charles Manson, David Koresh, and Jim Jones. Sadly, this was not an April Fools prank. Reid spouted paraphrases of Bible stories like the sermon on the mount, the crucifixion of Christ, and the golden calf to…

Joy Reid Seminar: Being Anti-Trans Is 'Anti-Gospel, Anti-Christ'
April 2nd, 2023 11:10 PM
The Left's energetic attempt to take a mass shooting at a Christian school with a transgender murderer and turn this around on the Christian conservatives is a shameless exercise to behold. On MSNBC's The ReidOut on Wednesday night, host Joy Reid welcomed transgender activist Charlotte Clymer and Jim Wallis of the Center for Faith and Justice at Georgetown to spit nails at…

Sharpton Slams Evangelicals for 'Submitting to White Nationalism'
November 29th, 2019 6:51 PM
Appearing as a guest on Morning Joe Wednesday, liberal Rev. Jim Wallis discussed his book Christ in Crisis: Why We Need to Reclaim Jesus. Not surprisingly, it did not take long for Wallis to begin trashing President Trump and white evangelical Christians. Another member of the panel, the incendiary Al Sharpton, accused white evangelicals of “submitting to white nationalism and Trump,” a point…
Boston Globe Front Page Gives Sen. Warren Hillary-Style Religious Aura
September 4th, 2017 5:37 PM
The humanizing (or spiritualizing) of liberal favorite Sen. Elizabeth Warren continues apace, as reporter Victoria McGrane employed the Hillary Clinton handbook, on the front page of Sunday’s Boston Globe. It’s the latest example of “sudden respect” for religion in the liberal press. Just as the media tried to imbue pro-choice, hard-core liberal Hillary with an aura of religiosity, McGrane…
Huffington Post Opines: God Wants Socialism, Not Shutdowns
October 13th, 2013 8:44 AM
Over at The Huffington Post, socialist activist Jim Wallis is typically insisting that the Bible’s verses on the poor all underline that socialism is God’s demand in the current shutdown. We're not individually responsible for the poor, we must be collectively, bureaucratically responsible.
“We're hearing lots of babble at the Capitol, but across the street, we're trying to hear the word of…
Chicago Trib Religion Blog Thunders From Online Pulpit with Rebuke of
April 5th, 2011 2:54 PM
With the looming possibility of a government shutdown and today's Republican 2012 budget proposal, you can expect the media to be hard at work amplifying the complaints of liberal Democrats that conservative-proposed budget cuts are extreme.
Even newspaper sections or online features generally disconnected from politics are picking up on the meme. Take the Chicago Tribune's The Seeker blog, a…
CNN 'Belief Blog' Hypes Ad by Liberal Christian Group Asking 'What Wou
February 28th, 2011 4:19 PM
Imagine that Pat Robertson or Dr. James Dobson took out a full-page ad in a mainstream media publication hinting that Jesus himself is squarely behind the Republicans' efforts to curb spending and curtail the size and scope of the federal government.
The media would certainly cover the interesting theological and political claims at hand but they'd also be certain to cite apolitical and/or…
Rick Sanchez: His Legacy of Liberal Bias on CNN
October 4th, 2010 12:36 PM
Rick Sanchez, who was fired from his Rick's List program on CNN on Friday, certainly racked up a record of liberal bias, specifically bias against conservatives, during his tenure at the network. Sanchez also revealed a propensity for making on-air gaffes which made him a targets of comedians like Jon Stewart. It was the former anchor's animosity toward Stewart which directly led to his firing.…

July 22nd, 2010 6:41 PM
Rick Sanchez, who hosts his Rick's List program for two hours during the afternoon on CNN, will be taking on the network's 8 pm Eastern hour slot for several weeks between Campbell Brown's departure on Wednesday and the start of the ex-Democratic Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer (the infamous Client #9) and sometime-conservative Kathleen Parker's new program.Sanchez will likely bring his two-…
Sally Quinn Lets Jim Wallis Claim Glenn Beck's Unfairly Painting Him a
April 17th, 2010 9:47 PM
At the On Faith page of The Washington Post and Newsweek, Sally Quinn interviewed liberal Sojourners magazine publisher Jim Wallis about his squabble with Glenn Beck about the meaning of “social justice” and Christianity. Quinn probably could have lined up Beck – after all, he sat down for an online interview with Katie Couric. Quinn wanted to know if Beck would keep attacking if Wallis and his…
Media's Go-To Christian Voice a Liberal
April 5th, 2010 11:28 AM
Jim Wallis is an author and is the founder of Sojurners magazine, and he’s a religious adviser to President Obama. The media often turn to him as a Christian voice. But Wallis is a hard-core left-winger who has made numerous outlandish statements while promoting his idea of “social justice.” The liberal blogspot Huffington Post features Wallis as religion columnist and Wallis has taken the…
How Are Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert 'Modern-Day Prophets' for Chri
March 27th, 2010 8:22 AM
Unsurprisingly, the Washington Post granted editorial-page space on Saturday to leftist Jim Wallis to vent against Glenn Beck for opposing "social justice." But here's the weirdest part: Journalists, cable and radio talk shows, and even Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have reported on or spoofed Beck's attempt to discredit this concept. Even the left-wing comedians have spoofed Beck? And yet, I…
Time's Sullivan: Why Does Glenn Beck Hate Jesus
March 15th, 2010 5:46 PM
"Why Does Glenn Beck Hate Jesus?" asked Time's Amy Sullivan in a Sunday March 14 Swampland blog post:When Glenn Beck told listeners of his radio show on March 2 that they should "run as fast as you can" from any church that preached "social or economic justice" because those were code words for Communism and Nazism, he probably thought he was tweaking a few crunchy religious liberals who didn…
Holy BlackBerry? ABC Sticks to Obama Staffers and Friends on Church Av
February 1st, 2010 5:05 PM
The Obama family's continued lack of church-going in Washington was spun by ABCNews.com into something cute and positive, at least from the sound of the headline: "Holy BlackBerry! Obama Finds Ways to Keep the Faith During First Year in Office."ABC’s Devin Dwyer recycled the tidbit from Terry Moran’s Nightline interview with Obama last July where Obama said he keeps the faith by getting daily…
