It came as no surprise to this blogger to see a post at Defending.Contending. saying that the guest speakers at Liberty University's commencement for 2010 will be Glenn Beck and Paige Patterson. Look at my post from 2009 titled Libertine University, and you'll see the names of other Liberty commencement speakers of questionable or non-existent Christian credentials.
Mr. Beck, the well-known Fox News broadcaster (I remember him from a few years ago when he was at CNN Headline News), is, of course, a Mormon. Mr. Patterson, a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, is the SBC's version of Pope Benedict XVI. He's done his best to protect sex criminals among SBC pastors, while using the term "evil-doers" to describe the victims of their sexual abuse. For details on what kind of leader Mr. Patterson is and what kind of character he possesses, go to the Stop Baptist Predators website and blog, as well as Tiffany Croft's blog, and search under "Paige Patterson." Such is the kind of person that Liberty University (which, as I previously pointed out, denied--before Virginia state authorities--being a Christian university) deems suitable as a commencement speaker. I wonder which "conservative" media celebrity they'll invite in 2011.
