Berkowitz on the American Family Association

Bill Berkowitz has published a valuable update on the influence of Don Wildmon's American Family Association under the title "AFA Still Cranky After All These Years." Here's a quote:

"He has perhaps one of the largest databases of supporters," said the Rev. Jimmy Porter, executive director-treasurer of the Mississippi Baptist Christian Action Commission, which sometimes works in concert with the American Family Association. "It is a substantial voice for the Christian conservative movement."

The organization's "e-mail blasts" "prompt supporters to shower TV and corporate executives with e-mail messages protesting objectionable TV shows or a company's apparent support of homosexuality," Gordon pointed out.
