How to be nice about this, even though they were obnoxious?

A group of religionists staked out a spot on the Santa Monica mall and proceeded to attack Al Gore and his book, “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Obviously, global warming has become the new battle cry of the Religious Right. What else have they got to demonize? Bill Clinton is out of office; Russia no longer is, and the anti-abortion and same-sex marriage issues have been marginalized.
