Doug, have you considered a Behind the News discussion on Rapture Republicans & Co. with both Chip and Joel Schalit?

Newsday column excerpt:


> These days, Berlet thinks of himself as an organizer,
> a researcher and a radical left-wing Christian. Yet
> he counts among his friends quite a few people whom
> his other friends consider whacked-out right-wing
> religious zealots.
>
> "Actually," Berlet was saying on Friday afternoon,
> "I don't like those labels at all, calling people
> 'religious extremists' or 'radical religious right.'
> You can't have a conversation when you start that
> way. I want to talk to these people. I want to
> engage them. ... I want to have a real discourse
> about religion and politics."
