6 August, 2004
06 August 2004Rev. Brenda Bartella Peterson -- until yesterday, DNC religion advisor -- caved in as a result of the ruckus raised by Catholic League President William Donohue, who accused Peterson of being too liberal and "anti-religion" because she supported Michael Newdow in the Pledge case. Peterson is the second DNC religion advisor to retreat from conservative invective, and yet Donohue, who has used identical language to attack other politicians he disagrees with, doesn't seem like he'd vote Democratic under any circumstances. And yet he wields the club of a Catholic, traditionally Democratic base. How real is the threat?
