2006: Gary Bauer Cheapens 9/11 for Political Agenda; Forgets Flight 93 Hero Was His Enemy in “Culture War”
“Without any immediately scheduled Congressional debates on social-issue legislation to energize its base, the Christian right has adopted President Bush’s messianic ‘struggle for civilization’ as a central feature of its culture war rhetoric going into the midterm elections. [Family Research Council president Tony Perkins] framed the issue by linking liberal evildoers with Islamic extremists, warning that ‘we are facing threats from within and from without.’ [Former FRC president Gary Bauer] described how the passengers of United Flight 93 heroically ran toward the cockpit on 9/11, reminding the audience, ‘All you have to do is run to the voting booth.’”
