[lbo-talk] making fun of the Thumpers

[B.]

Seems to me most elites have contempt for their base,
whether the base is Christian nutballs or union
members. Public face, private mockery probably isn't
exclusive to the GOP and it's fundie supporters.

But maybe some of the fundies will naively think this
is a huge, unexpected betrayal and splinter off into
something like the Reform Party.

The accusations are coming from an unlikely source:
David Kuo, former deputy director of the White House
Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, which channels
federal dollars to religious charities.
