Conundrum for a Rainy Saturday: Links Tying Some Catholic Activists to Rhetoric of Hate

These are the people bringing you this, which includes this and this.

This man sits on the governing board of the people bringing you the spectacles mentioned above. Keith Olbermann has called this rabid right-wing Catholic political operative the worst person in the world.

This same political operative founded the news service that is bringing you this story, which is appearing on blogs with headlines like this one.

When one reads this headline and the article connected to it, one wonders what this and this have to do with this, and why this lets its name be hijacked by partisan purveyors of hate.
