Tom – That is what you have to call someone far left?!
The man is a theological conservative who attends a meeting and all of a sudden he is a far left activist?
Wow. As Richard might say, No. Sale.

Tom – Right is right even if the people are left. However, what is your evidence of the leftness of the pastors? Oh wait, the farleftness of the pastors? To me, the political views are not that relevant here (we are talking about opposition to the League of the South). However, you keep making this claim. What is your basis for it?
This really is a ridiculous argument and one that Barton used on me. If these guys are “far left” then words really have no meaning anymore.

So these guys can’t be evangelicals because you say so? Only certain people are allowed to oppose the League of the South?

My reading of the ‘excerpt’ above is that Beard is stating what we Londoners might call “the bleedin’ obvious”: of course personal and social responsibility go hand-in hand; we are social beings as well as individuals.)

“In case anyone is interested in the truth of the matter of the Cincinnati pastors, my opinion is based on evidence like this that turns up pretty easily on Google.”
When did you 1st read this evidence, Tom? Before you made your post claiming the pastor group was “far left-wing activists” or after someone asked you for evidence of your claim?
Your insinuation is insulting, sir, that I initially just made it up and was saved by it happening to be true. Which illustrates that good-faith discussion is not really many people’s object here–it’s to shout down arguments they don’t like.
I looked these guys up months ago when the Jefferson Lies boycott threat arose-[ironic because it was race, not Barton’s usual topic of religion]. I like to know the whole story, not just the surface details: These pastors are more known for their political and social activism than any actual concern for historical scholarship. Sorry people find that inconvenient.
