From the biography of Bill Moyers:

“Born in Oklahoma, Moyers grew up in Texas, where he received a journalism B.A. in 1956 from the University of Texas in Austin and then a divinity degree in 1959 from the Southwestern Theological Seminary…….”

In spite of the fact that Moyers is an ordained Baptist minister, he regularly demonstrates an excessive intolerance toward others – especially Karl Rove.

Rove has become an inordinate obsession with Moyers because, as he surmises, he used the Christian right to defeat the Democrats not once but twice. (of course when ministers Jackson and Sharpton do the same thing against Republicans, Moyers has a blind spot).

I laugh at the run-on adjective-laden sentences he spews toward those he dislikes, such as the following:

“Karl Rove figured out a long time ago that the way to take an intellectually incurious draft-averse naughty playboy in a flight jacket with chewing tobacco in his back pocket and make him governor of Texas, was to sell him as God’s anointed in a state where preachers and televangelists outnumber even oil derricks and jack rabbits. Using church pews as precincts Rove turned religion into a weapon of political combat — a battering-ram, aimed at the devil’s minions, especially at gay people.”

Moyers is a hypocrite in the true sense of the word.
