In particular, the country is tired, truly tired, of Rev. Jerry Falwell. At the Religious Right\u2019s Values Voter Summit, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/uslatest\/story\/0,,-6102413,00.html\">Rev. Falwell said that Hillary Clinton\u2019s run for the presidency would energize the Right\u2019s base more than Lucifer<\/a>.   This is also the man who said the terrorist attacks on 9\/11 were God\u2019s judgment on America and he specifically blamed feminists, homosexuals and the ACLU.  Agreement or disagreement with Senator Clinton\u2019s politics is not the issue. Personally demonizing public figures is the issue.  Such political poison isn\u2019t just bad for the Body Politic and the more civil discourse we so desperately need.  It also simply isn\u2019t Christian.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;padding-bottom:0.25em\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The nation is weary of the vitriolic and divisive political rhetoric that still comes from some on the Religious Right.
