Journalist Max Blumenthal links prominent members of the Religious Right to a number of gay sex scandals. Blumenthal says, "the party of family values is revealed as the largest walk-in 'closet' in America."

-----

Award-winning journalist and documentary videographer Max Blumenthal has become one of the most important journalists writing about how the Religious Right fringe movement became the Republican Party mainstream.

Whether it was his revelation of Sarah Palin's involvement with a Kenyan pastor who boasted of epic battles with witches, or his expose of the eccentric theocratic multimillionaire behind California's Prop 8 anti-gay-marriage initiative, Blumenthal's reporting goes almost instantly viral, shocks thousands, has been cited everywhere from MSNBC to the New York Times, and has landed him interviews on Fresh Air and The Rachel Maddow Show. - Berkeley Arts and Letters

Max Blumenthal is one of the most constantly cited young liberal journalists in America and is regularly featured on the Rachel Maddow Show, Democracy Now and the Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

His articles and video documentaries have appeared in The Daily Beast, The Nation, The Huffington Post, Salon.com, Al Jazeera English and many other publications. He is a correspondent for The Daily Beast, a research fellow for Media Matters for America and a Puffin Writing Fellow for the Nation Institute. Visit him at www.maxblumenthal.com

  • Bush used his time in office to use the DOJ to take down the careers of political opponents, subverted the Constitution's limits on hsi powers as an executor and promoted lying to the American people. That isn't integrity and its a hell of a lot worse than lying about a blow job. Yes, lying under oath isn't good, but you'll notice Dems voted in a family man who talks straight to people like adults (THATS integrity). Maybe Clinton's character was part of that.

  • I'm not strawmanning you at all, I'm just making assumptions about your beliefs based on what you've said here. Maybe you're opposed to DOMA, I don't know.

    Yes, i agree, Dems can be huge hypocrites, most powerfully on comdemning Repubs for their corporate lobby insiderness. On the issue of sex and the legislation of others sex lives, however, Repubs own the Hypocrisy house.

  • Idaho's Craig was in Philadelphia this week and hired a male companion through an online site so he could perform oral on the companion and then have the companion whip him with his belt. Then this example of moral fortitude went back to his wife to pass on whatever he caught during his dalliance. What a lovely man.

  • I think this guy is right on the money, and the facts about those peoples actions seem to prove him out.

  • All puritans are hypocrites because puritanism is an impossible ideal.

  • This is so fucking wickedly wrong, what an asshole. Psychology, the ultimate political weapon.
