Steph made material misrepresentations about Yurica’s article. First, Yurica is a careful researcher; she makes no assumptions nor conclusions. The article has 163 footnotes. What is reported about Boykin are his links to the Southern Baptist Convention, and Bobby Welch, the SBC president. Boykin enters again over his role in Abu Ghraib. The connections between Boykin and Christian dominionism are totally ignored by Steph. She asserts that the essay claims the “SBC is ruling the Chaplains Corps or the Department of Defense.” That is completely false. No where does the Yurica essay assert or imply such a thing. She states the report “focuses on high profile and wealthy Christian leaders that General Boykin consorts with from time to time.” That is another totally false statement. I recommend Yurica's companion article: "The Despoiling of America." For an honest review of the Yurica essay read this blog.
Steph responded by adding links to her sources on her weblog.
Meanwhile, the Axis of Logic website has given a big vote of confidence for Yurika. They posted a version of Yurika's story on their website.
