Legless Land

When Richard Land criticizes members of the New Baptist Covenant of political partisanship, he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Bob Allen at Ethics Daily has posted a fine essay addressing the partisan nature of the speakers that Richard Land invites to his conferences.

Land's partisanship, however, is so obvious and the evidence is so widely disseminated over the internet that his statements are hardly worthy of refutation. The reporters who cite them without question are either biased themselves or too lazy to do any research.

Every day in every way Richard Land works to secure votes for Republican candidates. The most obvious and blatant example is to be found in his "values voter" campaigns. It is ridiculous for the national news media to credit his "values voters" with electing President Bush in 2004 and then pretend that he is non-partisan.

There were no voter campaigns at the New Baptist Covenant meeting and none are in the works.
