American Fascism : The Rise of the Christian Right

GUEST: Chris Hedges, …

Chris Hedges is Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton University and a Pulitzer Prize winning In a 2003 commencement speech at Rockford College, Illinois, Hedges denounced the US war on Iraq only to be booed off stage and forcibly escorted by security officers off of the campus, taken to his hotel room to pack his belongings, and put on a bus to leave town. Afterwords, his then employer, The New York Times, gave him the choice of staying true to his beliefs or conforming to the official story – he chose the former. Hedges has written several books, notably “War is a Force that Gives us Meaning.”

Chris Hedges also has a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School and was influenced by his father, a Presbyterian Minister. He is currently working on a new book exposing the Christian right movement in this country as “totalitarian” and “anti-democratic.” The book is called “American Fascism : The Rise of the Christian Right” and it’s due out in Fall 2006. Chris Hedges spoke recently in Los Angeles at a talk recorded by Mansoor Sabbagh of Global Voices for Justice.
