On Friday, Robert Jeffress, a Rick Perry supporter and senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Dallas, Tex., told reporters that he considers Mormonism a theological “cult.”. This came after he introduced Perry to the assembled crowd at the Value Voters Summit. At least one person now thinks that Rick Perry’s camp orchestrated the comments. Scott McLean, a political scientist at Quinnipiac University, told FoxNews.com’s Stephen Clark that it makes perfect sense to him:

New York Times editor Bill Keller‘s column on religion didn’t go unnoticed by “culture warrior” Bill O’Reilly on his program today, but after a segment decrying its arrogance, O’Reilly came face to face with a guest that “totally agreed” with Keller that religious ignorance should come into play in politics. Somewhat shockingly, it was media critic Bernie Goldberg, who used Keller’s logic to justify the outrage against Pastor Jeremiah Wright.

Glenn Beck has gotten nothing but tongue-lashings for his recent theatrical vomiting at the mention of Meghan McCain‘s body, and he ended the week with one final slap on the wrist from colleague Bill O’Reilly. While Beck tried to justify his behavior compared to the controversial comments made by rapper Common, O’Reilly had none of it and commended McCain’s mother, Cindy, for striking back at Beck.

Bill O’Reilly led off his show tonight confused why President Obama chose to spend Easter Sunday at the Shiloh Baptist Church, where its pastor Reverend Wallace Charles Smith had a history of making controversial statements, including alleging Fox News is racist. O’Reilly was none too pleased with Obama for legitimizing the pastor and was reminded of the Jeremiah Wright controversy. However, Alan Colmes passionately argued O’Reilly was completely wrong.

Everyone, get to know the name Dr. Wallace Charles Smith. This bio tells us that Dr. Smith is the Senior Minister at the historic Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington D.C. and has written guest editorials in the Washington Post. More importantly though, Rush Limbaugh just called him “Jeremiah Wright Jr.” and you know what that means; we are going to hear a lot about the good pastor. The reason? Yesterday, Smith did the Easter sermon for the Obama family. Last year, however, he compared Limbaugh to the KKK. Yep, get to know that name, folks.

Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan may be Muammar Gaddafi‘s only fan stateside, but he’s loud enough to make up for his small number. His comments shouting down at President Obama “Who the hell do you think you are?” on a radio show last week condemning the Libyan intervention made waves for their novelty, but to Sean Hannity, they resurrect the spectre of 2008′s most hated religious figure: Jeremiah Wright.

Glenn Beck was not happy with President Obama’s remarks on Libya yesterday for a number of reasons. The main issue was that it came way too late in comparison with Obama’s frequent comments on the situation in Egypt. And the final issue Beck had was that Obama never seemed to mention Muammar Gaddafi’s name and hasn’t in any recent statements. Now why would he do that? Glenn Beck is on the case.

The liberal listserv in the news last month whose leaks forced a resignation from The Washington Post‘s Dave Weigel is back today.

Journolist emails about Rev. Jeremiah Wright from during the 2008 presidential election have been published by The Daily Caller. But do they reveal anything?

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele made an admission, this week, that was both stunning and obvious. Speaking to a group of DePaul University students, Steele was asked why a black person should vote for a Republican. In responding, Steele put on the record the political equivalent of a Republican reverse-Sasquatch, something everyone knows is real, but pretends is a myth: The Southern strategy.

It’s been awhile since we heard about Rev. Jeremiah Wright, hasn’t it? Since the 2008 elections – when his ties to Barack Obama were used by conservatives as signs of the president’s radicalism – the reverend has kept it pretty quiet…or at least the MSM stopped paying attention. Not anymore: Wright is holding an awards benefit for himself, Louis Farrakhan, and “radical” Chicago Catholic priest Michael Pfleger on Friday, and Bill O’Reilly‘s got a couple choice words about the event.

Each week, we stamp our passport in The Fox Nation, checking out the goings on over on the Fox News-run community/opinion site. The storylines may not exactly be unpredictable, but it doesn’t make it any less entertaining. What’s happening today in the Nation? Pres. Barack Obama‘s new pastor is definitely not Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
