CNN is reporting what appears to be the opportunity for a new round of wingnuts to appear sometime soon on our radar. ::heads up::
The author of the wingnut handbook
The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren, is enjoying a resurgence of success due to the fact that
Ashley Smith was reading the book at the time she became a hostage of
Brian Nichols and ended up reading portions of the book to him, which allowed him to talk about his situation and circumstances with her and gain her trust (which probably could have saved her life). The book was mentioned in her days long coverage on television, and she attributed the book with saving her, so now more people are purchasing the book.
This leaves an opening for those people who are not politically motivated and fully aware of what's truly going on these days (those who are still fascinated with the sensationalist stories that the RWCM covers) to be influenced by this book, thus creating a new flock of wingnuts, just when we're thinking that the ones already in existence may just finally be waking up.
Keep an eye out, things may get interesting.
