And Fox"News" is now funding a smear campaign against Rev. Jim Wallis, President of Sojourners. Need anymore proof that Beck is completely off the rails?
Clearly Beck knows that he doesn't stand a chance of winning this debate about the proper application of Christian principles to the public square on Scriptural or theological grounds. And he clearly has no intention of following St. Paul's command, found in Ephesians, that Christians "not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were sealed for the day of redemption. All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice." No, sir. Beck is on a mission to discredit and destroy the pastor who dared to question him ... and he's using FOX staff and resources to do so.
FOX needs to be called to account for this. They need to explain how a news organization can possibly justify funding an opposition research effort that has the stated purpose of destroying the credibility of an American pastor?
Does FOX agree with Beck's statements and command that Catholics, Protestants, and Mormons leave their churches? Will FOX allow Beck to continue to use staff and FOX airtime to conduct his promised week-long campaign to discredit Rev. Wallis? Will they continue to let him use their resources to launch Twitter and blog posts attacking Rev. Wallis and attempting to discredit the power of social justice?
I'm interested to hear what fellow Fox"News" employee and former pastor Mike Huckabee has to say about Beck's current conspiracy theory run amok.
Not being particularly religious myself, I did grow up in a devout, Southern Baptist, home and the very idea of "social" and "economic justice" is very much grounded in Biblical teachings. And having read the Bible myself, I find it very troubling that Beck actually still have an audience after this stunt.
Conservatives love their religion almost as much as they love Fox"News". I'm getting to the point where I think they are confusing the two.
