The paraphrasing was by a team of Conservative Christian Republicans. Among those on the interview panel were former Republican Sen. William Armstrong of Colorado, Houston Appeals Judge Paul Pressler, Tim LaHaye, a best-selling author and one of the founders of the modern religious conservative movement, Presbyterian minister D. James Kennedy of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and Paul Weyrich, who earlier this year called on social conservatives to give up on electoral politics and establish ?parallel institutions? to train a new generation of young people with conservative beliefs and values. It is this group which is referred to in this sentence: " Bush told the group he would not "knowingly" appoint a practicing homosexual as an ambassador or department head, " The article itself is by the conservative columnist, Cal Thomas, who quotes one of the panel members as saying, "Pressler told me that 'social conservatives have nothing to fear from a George W. Bush presidency.'" You decide whether these are "the very people who seem bent to drag him through the mud," or whether they have reported his statement correctly because they approve of it.
