[Tony] Snow follows in the steps of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who raised eyebrows last month when he agreed to speak at the "Values Voter Summit" held by the controversial Family Research Council–an organization that has most recently been linked to a push to prosecute for hotel pornography.
The Council, allied with James Dobson‘s Focus on the Family, American Family Association and Americans United to Preserve Marriage, is holding the event September 22-24, in Washington, D.C. Its aim is to organize efforts to mobilize conservative Christian voters in November.
Snow is scheduled to speak the afternoon of the 22nd.
The White House press secretary and United States Attorney General are set to share the event’s stage with Dobson, Jerry Falwell, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Bill Bennett and embattled Senator George Allen.
All the nasties under the big tent! I wondered when the Religious Right was going to come out from under a rock and begin their mid-term push to get the fanatical Christians to the polls. There’s a real possibility that this strategy might backfire big time. It might wake up rational Christians to how much they’ve been used and abused – how much the basic tenets of their religion have been perverted by this Administration. Let’s hope Ann Coulter is at her most virulent. I’ve never heard her speak to the like minded before, but it’s hard to imagine her as Miss Family Value under any circumstances…
