We know that Bradlee Dean is a bit shorthanded at his Sons of Liberty Radio and You Can Run ministry of late, but it's still surprising that it took the publicity-hound preacher longer to discover his place on Amanda Marcotte's Christian Hipster list than it did for Jesus to rise from His tomb.
The Marcotte piece, which first appeared on Alternet on October 31, has since been published on Salon on Monday, drawing the attention of City Page's staff writer Jesse Marx.
The Salon iteration showed up about an hour ago today on the Sons of Liberty Facebook page, four days after publication. The headnote on the shared link:
Bradlee Dean and Tim Tebow named The Top 5 Hipsters TRYING to make Christianity look cool. Written of course by the enemies of The American way. YOUR THOUGHTS....
The responses so far:
Shawna Kay Or you may just be yourselves AND redeemed.
Mike Setleff Hipster? I highly doubt Bradlee fits anything that describes such term. Goes to show how much research did not go into researching what a hipster even is to make a decent headline. I'll be honest it made me not want to read past that so I didn't bother why give clowns like this any kind of spotlight or recognition it's what provocateurs and trolls thrive on.
Paul Groenwoldt They can try to make the Christian mythology cool but it isn't going to happen any time soon. Hipster LOL!!!!!
Amanda Marcotte is a provocative feminist author who got her start as a blogger.
Dean gained national notoriety when the then Republican-controlled Minnesota House of Representatives redacted his opening prayer that questioned President Obama's faith. The Annandale resident attracted additional attention when he unsuccessfully attempted to sue Rachel Maddow and local journalists for defamation.
