Frank Schaeffer sounds off!

[carsonscorner]

Hello to all my brothers and sisters in solidarity-even to all you right-wing trolls on this site. I was lucky enough to have Frank Schaeffer on my radio show to discuss a variety of different topics. Usually, Frank's media appearances are limited due to time constraints. However, this interview is almost 30 minutes long. It's not often that you get to hear a man with this much firepower for a decent amount of time, so tune in. Also, don't forget to support young, aspiring progressive hosts such as myself. Follow me on Twitter, friend me on Facebook, and leave me a comment on my website. We need to organize as much as we can. Thank you!

2. Welcome to DU, carsonscorner! Thanks for the link.

3. Thanks. He impresses me so much.

He has such knowledge of the extremist religious right. I am a recovering Southern Baptist, and I know the importance of people who speak out on this.

5. Did he scare you so bad that you almost peed yourself?

He did me. I would go so far as to call Frank Schaeffer this country's leading authority on christian nutbags.
I envy that you got to talk to him for 1/2 an hour!

I wish I could dismiss Frank as having dropped Acid too many times, but I was close to this whole Pentecostal/Word of Faith thing 25 years ago and it was crazy then and hasn't gotten any saner with time.

And now these people want to bring their "spiritual warfare" into the physical plane.

7. .....

I was so nervous about interviewing him, but the moment he answered the phone, I was at ease. When Frank talks, you just shut up and listen.

9. I'm so horrified....my skin crawls.

even more than I was before - now I know the reason why!! I always knew they were a tool but hearing how the mechanism works is sickening and who controls these fanatics and why is just completely unacceptable.

I learned so much from listening to this interview :scared: and am even more driven to rid ourselves of these destructive people.

So now we have the teabaggers and the crusaders both a minority, used as tools by the wealthy and the corporations to control the majority.

We're in deep shit..

Thank-you for posting....

12. Thanks and welcome to DU!

If you get a chance, check in with the Atheists and Agnostics Group. If you cross post there, it will linger more than a week, for people who would be interested.

GD posts get seen by many, but are gone pretty fast.

I've heard Schaeffer before. He's a contemporary Marjoe. Good interview.

I did not know of you before, but now I will recognize your name, therefore you are famous. :P
