I wrote about the same thing yesterday, but --dammit -- this is just so much fun to watch. With the elections right around the corner, the christian right needs to get their base out to the polls. But all signs point to 'values voters' staying home. So what's a religious hack and charlatan to do?
The evangelical right's answer is to do the same thing they usually do only do it shriller, crazier, and with even more lies. In the process, the evangelical right is falling victim to something they're all in danger of -- self parody. And it's pretty entertaining.
We'll start with the Big Gun -- James Dobson. As I pointed out yesterday, Dobson hired a big hall -- 18,000 seats -- for a big get out the vote rally. At the last minute, he changed to a smaller 6,000 seat hall and filled half of it. I neglected to mention that the original event was a ticketed event -- you had to pay to get in. But the final event was free. And Dobson still couldn't fill the smaller hall. It'd be one of those funny/sad things, but since it's James Dobson, it's just funny -- it's hard to find just desserts sad. Evangelical Right has the sorry details.
That should show you where the religious right stands in this election. People are deserting the culture war in droves...
