I personally know several of their activists, and the gal who used to be their director(I don't think she's director anymore, but still on their board: Quaker Rachel MacNair.)

They are not particularly cowards. They do hold up an anti-abortion, anti-infanticide, anti-euthanasia line on the Left, which take a certain amount of moral courage.

Nor are they stupid (although this was a particularly stupid article). They are open to Left-Right dialogue and engagement, which preserves them from the sheer thud-headed doltishness we see so much of on the Religious Left.

In other words, they're not typically Jim Wallis. They're more in the Ron Sider camp.

I thought them worth my time and my aggravated love.

Excellent.

In other words, not uneducable and not invincibly ignorant, just not informed of the facts.

No surprise because the news media has continued to promote the completely false narrative - no doubt in the interest of (a) selling more papers/ad time; and (b) ginning up some riots, which will of course sell LOTS more papers/ad time.

As dear old Cicero said long ago, "Cui bono?" ("Who benefits?" or in free translation, "Follow the money.")
