Tucker Carlson gets honest about what he says the Republican elites feel about the Extreme Christian Right.

Video-WMP Video-QT

Duncan:

CARLSON: It goes deeper than that though. The deep truth is that the elites in the Republican Party have pure contempt for the evangelicals who put their party in power. Everybody in…

MATTHEWS: How do you know that? How do you know that?

CARLSON: Because I know them. Because I grew up with them. Because I live with them. They live on my street. Because I live in Washington, and I know that everybody in our world has contempt for the evangelicals. And the evangelicals know that, and they're beginning to learn that their own leaders sort of look askance at them and don't share their values.

MATTHEWS: So this gay marriage issue and other issues related to the gay lifestyle are simply tools to get elected?

CARLSON: That's exactly right. It's pandering to the base in the most cynical way, and the base is beginning to figure it out

1. Ok who put the sodium pentathol in Tucker's Evian water?

(hats off to you)

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. On the plus side

the alliance may break apart... not soon enough

3. What's worse is that he's known this for years.

Most of us have said this for many years. This is no great awakening on Tucker's part - he's just a cynical bastard who, because others on the right who were naive enough to believe the nonsense are beginning to wake up, is trying to give the appearance of integrity. Not buying it.

6. He's "pulling a Scarborough"...

...same stunt Dead Intern Joe pulls every night on his own show. Within moments he's back on track, carrying water for the GOP.

:patriot:

[blm]

16. That's why we need to make him OWN this statement - spread the post

far and wide, especially religious message boards.

[Uncle Joe]

4. The deep truth is that Carlson has the same contempt

as the Republican elite. He bore false witness against the honorable and enabled the corrupt to power. The truth was not that difficult to find, so if the Republican elite were the harlots that screwed the faithful, Carlson was the pimp that promoted them.

[blm]

5. Hey Torch, can you repost this as a DU ACTION ALERT? Your post needs

to be spread at ALL religious and RW forums, and as emails that can spread all over the country - - - spreading this simple truth can drive a wedge between the fascists and the fundies that can last a generation.

[Human Torch]

8. If I knew how to do that, I would...

...never posted an action alert before.

:patriot:

[blm]

10. Just put ACTION ALERT in your header. I posted one in GD to send them

to this thread.

[Human Torch]

12. OK, I just updated it. n/t

7. Why are the evangelicals so slow in figuring this out?

Conservative Christians are always telling us that their brand of faith doesn't make them any less rational or intelligent than anyone else, yet evangelicals seem to have fallen for the biggest political scam of the last fifty years. What's taking them so long?

[blm]

14. Send this video around to religious message boards and they'll wake up.

9. Their mega church leaders have known this

all along. They aided in the abuse of their flock and they will continue to do so. Kinda feel bad for the blind faith sheep. They can not know what they don't know. It's like watching a older child trade a nickle for a dime with a younger child because its bigger. What a world!

11. Another rat jumping off the sinking ship

He is one of those who enabled the coalition of the stoopid religious zealots, the bigots, and the greedy bastards. They needed this coalition to be able to to come close to a majority of voters (not a majority of citizens of course).

he is on the rooftop of the embassy hoping to grab one of the helicopter skids as it franticly flies away

13. Tucker's the right's Alan Colmes.

I like him.

[peacetalksforall]

15. Chris Matthews? If yes, he is an absolute idiot for sounding

so stupid - where has that guy been? Unbelievable - "so this gay marriage issue and other issues related to the gay lifestyle are simply tools to get elected?"

How can someone be so out of it?

[blm]

17. Hopefully, by putting a question mark at the end of it, he wouldn't get

targeted for overthrow by RW message machine. heh

[Mountainman]

18. How come it takes others years to figure out what we know from the start?

Are we more cynical or are they less skeptical or something?
