As someone who tunes in to WABC AM from time to time in order to get a
handle on what the rightwing is up to, I was not surprised to hear Rabbi
Joseph Potasnik and Catholic Deacon Kevin McCormack blathering on about
Gaza yesterday morning. What did surprise me, however, was the identity
of one of their guests who was invited on to help them make their
warmongering case: Bruce Chilton, chaplain at Bard College, my alma mater.
Chilton is on the board of directors of Christians for Fair Witness on
the Middle East, just one part of the sleazy web of advocacy groups
connected to the Israel Lobby. It was founded by Sister Ruth Lautt
(pronounced lout), a Roman Catholic nun who was profiled in a June 14,
2008 NY Times article. The article makes the specious claim that she has
no contact with AIPAC, as if she needed marching orders from them.
