Don't Blame the Bible-Thumpers

Ira Chernus, a religious professor at the University of Colorado, says Don't Blame the Bible-Thumpers for Bush Victory. He makes a good point that moral values alone would not have been enough without the powerful fear of terrorism. "We must offer a genuine model of tolerance, understanding, and concern for people who are really scared, even if they are scared more by shadows than realities."
