Marsden's work has been widely cited by other media:  Her defense of new French President [[Nicolas Sarkozy]] was referenced by the nation’s top radio talk-show host, [[Rush Limbaugh]], in encouraging Americans to stop their criticism of [[France]].  Her column “Since Jesus Isn’t Running, Why Not Rudy?” chided far-right conservatives for their lack of support for [[Republican]] presidential candidate [[Rudy Giuliani]] – a politician whose positions and policies Marsden has admitted most closely resemble her own.
