Traitors and Treason: "Christians Led Astray by Anti-Christ(s)
Years ago one of my relatives was ripped-off by a preacher. Later I was also screwed by a couple of 'Christians.' I've spent my life in church and nothing makes me angrier than believers getting misled by their 'peers.' Good grief, people. If you are a believer, then how can it be any clearer what's been done to you than the following (Salon has much more.):
Salon.com News Abramoff-Scanlon School of Sleaze: 'Consider one memo highlighted in a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday that Scanlon, a former aide to Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Tx., sent the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana to describe his strategy for protecting the tribe's gambling business. In plain terms, Scanlon confessed the source code of recent Republican electoral victories: target religious conservatives, distract everyone else, and then railroad through complex initiatives.
'The wackos get their information through the Christian right, Christian radio, mail, the internet and telephone trees,' Scanlon wrote in the memo, which was read into the public record at a hearing of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee.
'Simply put, we want to bring out the wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them.''
For all our sakes, wise-up."
