That and your calls right here on The Thom Hartmann Program - your radio support group for "We the People"
When you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas
With all due respect to Thom and his vast knowledge, I think it is a bad idea to lend credibility to folks like Richard Viguerie.
In addition to the information I previously posted, Viguerie also has many strong links to the Moonies, and the nutball religious right.
The two previously mentioned Russ Bellant books describe this in great detail. Another really good book is Sara Diamond's "Spiritual Warfare, the Politics of the Christian Right," where links between the ultranutball Christians and their groups (including Christian Reconstructionists) and folks like Viguerie are thoroughly addressed.
I understand the concept of "my enemy's friend is my friend," but I also understand the concept of "When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
