It's not the only chink. I was rather disappointed in the piece, as I have always sort of liked, admired, and respected Moyers.
He doesn't even seem to have a clue as to the fact that you probably can't find two people in the same pew who agree on the "end times" never mind that LeHaye is currently in a pissing match with his "Left Behind" publisher, because they're publishing a book by another (Christian, Bible believing evangelical/fundie depending on your POV) author, which is written from a post-tribulation POV (that is to say, that its theme where NT Prophecy is concerned, is that most of Revelation has come to pass).
That piece was, imo, not much more than spin, and it was either ill-informed (which I have trouble swallowing, considering it's Moyers, who is no dummy), or it was intentionally misleading people, in the hopes of causing even more prejudice and division.

Moyers ran out of tinfoil on that one, arliss.
