Hush Up, Now, Little Lady… or Else
From flame-thrower pastors to online trolls (sometimes the same guy is both!)
It’s November. For my writer friends, that makes it NaNoWriMo, and some of you may be spitting out pages of a new novel. For Americans, we’re headed toward Thanksgiving, a time for family that can be joyous or as complicated as the holiday’s origin. But for Doug Wilson, intentionally controversial pastor based in Moscow, Idaho, it means video trailers of himself setting fire to things, followed by a month of putting others on blast. For all the damage caused by his ministry and teachings, Wilson is a master content creator. The whole month of vicious wordplay on his blog is a tool for advertising his books (published by his own press). He’s happy to give them away, they’re so good! At the end of a month of gnarly posts, he packages the whole thing into an anthology. Click. Hate the libs. Read more vitriol. Repeat. Buy the anthology!

Sadly, at this point there’s little new about a shock jock pastor, ready to spew incendiary comments for attention…
