"An evangelical Christian organization has called on right-leaning pastors to “investigate” the family and staff of U.S. presidential candidates in order to expose anyone who is secretly gay or who supports LGBT rights.

The Washington Examiner‘s Paul Bedard reported on Monday that David Lane’s American Renewal Project had asked “100,000 pastors” that it was working with to mobilize Christian voters to also dig up dirt on people connected to presidential candidates."


Christian group ‘investigating’ family and staff of 2016 candidates to expose gay sympathizers

Tolerance will not be tolerated by the evangelical right. As long as they hold such a disproportionate amount of influence in the party, Republicans need to be shut out of the White House.

Oh noes!

So you were planning to vote GOP, thus interested in this info? Or just more faux outrage fueled by anti-Christian bigotry?

The odds are this group holds no influence. This is certainly the first I have ever heard of them.

Even at that, it's not all bad.

I'm guessing the Santorums are in the clear.

Hey at least they are investigating politicians and want to provide information to voters.

I remember when the left and gay community were investigating ordinary people to punish for their support of their political views.

Its Raw Story, so yes. They have to dig up some fringe group to sell fear of the "American Taliban" to their readers, who blissfully swallow whatever propaganda they're fed.

I have no problem with the group being involved in politics and at the same time since they have crossed the line that separates Church and State then they should now be paying taxes along with any other political group, their actions are not religious in nature hence you lose your tax exception.

Of course their actions are religious in nature. The Bible said that homosexuals are bad! It's their job as Christians to make sure no gay sympathizers from the Party of God (aka, the GOP) get elected.

I'm sure most of the people in this group truly believe they are doing God's work. Which in itself is pretty sad.
