Beware of `Progressive' Snake Oil Salesmen

Dan Gilgoff / U.S. News & World Report - Religion:
A week after a left-leaning faith group (heretics) enlisted a Franciscan sister to sell the climate bill on the Indiana radio waves, another progressive faith outfit is using the Bible's Book of Isaiah to sell healthcare reform in other red states. What's novel about the new ad-which will air in Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Nebraska, and North Carolina over Congress's Fourth of July break-is not that it uses Christian radio and messaging to push a mostly Democrat cause. In the past few years, that's become standard practice for the Dems. What's novel is that the ad enlists local pastors in each market where it's airing to make a case for healthcare reform. It's the second such ad to do so for a liberal cause.
