Frank Schaeffer, in other words, is basically just the evil twin of someone like 
Franklin Graham.  Graham is a former problem child who ended up becoming a 
complete toe-the-liner -- albeit one who seems to be inclined to toe the 
Religious Right's line more than his own father's. Schaeffer, on the other hand, 
is a former problem child who apparently decided to turn *against* a lot of what 
his father stood for.  But Schaeffer is pandering to his own constituency just 
as much as Graham is. And both of them are claiming a special right to define 
their fathers' legacies, simply by virtue of that family connection.<


Well said.
