Campolo drug out lame platitudes, naive views and old cliches.

That is what he has done before, to good effect - I remember my rather conservative church screening a film he made (something like "You Can Make A Difference") and being excited about it.

Once you dig deeper, you find out, there is not much under the surface.

Yes.

Frank Gafney wiped the floor with him.

It was embarrassing.

Gafney got the only applause during the debate, when he stood up for Israel.

Mind you, Eastern is a liberal Christian college: as the debate was publicized, there were others in addition to students in the audience.

Campolo is, in my opinion, way over rated as a thinker. he has an abundance of compassion, but that will not keep my children safe.

P.S.

Eastern used to be Eastern Baptist, but that "Baptist" affiliation is soooo embarrassing nowadays.....

As a man of the left, what else does he have.

I do think he made some good points about the MSM however.
