631: Micro Propaganda
Frank Schaefer Critique, Religion in Republican Politics
Author Frank Schaefer appeared on Al Sharpton's program to criticize the Supreme Court as being comprised of "GOP lackeys" who use religion to manipulate voters. Schaefer, a former evangelical turned progressive, argued that the religious right uses these legal battles to raise money and oppose the Obama administration. The discussion also touched on the media narrative framing the conflict as a choice between religious belief and scientific fact.
