More of our folks on the Huffington Post: Skipping Towards Armageddon and America's Mayor
So Michael Standaert and Rob Polner are both now blogging on the Huffington Post, both keeping an eye on two quite disparate but, in their own fashion, highly dangerous components of the American Right. Polner, as befits a man who spent over four years following Hizzoner for Newsday and then edited America's Mayor: The Hidden History of Rudy Giuliani's New York, has a "Giuliani Watch" in operation, while Michael, author of Skipping Towards Armageddon: The Politics and Propaganda of the Left Behind Novels and the LaHaye Empire is keeping us in the loop on the man who is credited as being "the most influential American evangelical of the last twenty-five years...No one individual has played a more central organizing role in the religious right than Tim LaHaye," says Larry Eskridge of the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals.
