Interview on the secret fundamentalists behind the throne

Books

While I think all my interviews are good at Reality Cast, I have to draw everyone’s attention to this week’s.  Jeff Sharlet is talking about his new book The Family, a group of fundies that aren’t like the religious right we all know and don’t love, but in fact may be more powerful.  Genuinely new information for me; I can’t wait to read his book.

I thought Sharlet’s original article in Harper’s was fairly in depth, and frigtening, to begin with.  I can’t even imagine the horrors inside a 464 page beast.

Is that the same Family that Hillary is a member of? Why, I do think it is. Barbara Ehrenreich speculated that her membership in the Family was the reason Hillary supported Santorum’s bill which allows pharmacists to refuse to fill birth control pills.

You’ll love Sharlet’s book, Amanda. I’ve read it twice already—fascinating reporting and beautifully written.

I interviewed Jeff last week for an upcoming piece in AlterNet.
