Falwell and that old-time religion
At The Guardian , now edited by former American Prospect editor Michael Tomasky , there's a terrific piece by Michelle Goldberg in which she reveals the segregationist roots of the Moral Majority salesman, the late Rev. Jerry Falwell . In today's Washington Post , Hanna Rosin offers up a generational look at the post-Falwell religious right. Among those she cites as the movement's next big things is the very scary Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention.
