Ralph Reed's Group: An Obama Victory Means "He Can Complete America's Destruction"
The nonprofit run by the ex-Christian Coalition leader blankets voters with grab-bag of right-wing Obama hatred.

Last week, Mother Jones reported on a controversial mailer from the Faith and Freedom Coalition, an evangelical Christian group run by veteran political operative Ralph Reed. The flyer, which was sent to potential voters, asked recipients to compare President Barack Obama's policies to the threat of Nazi Germany and Japan circa World War II. It also accused Obama of having "Communist beliefs." Reed is no bit player: The former head of the Christian Coalition (who played a part in the Jack Abramoff corruption scandal), he's leading a massive, multi-million-dollar effort to turn out evangelical voters for Mitt Romney in November.
But waitReed's Obama flame-throwing doesn't end there. That Faith and Freedom Coalition mailer also included 10 more pages of inflammatory, debunked, and malicious rhetoric, a right-wing grab bag of Obama hatred. In this letter to potential voters, Reed claims that Obama wants an America where "government bureaucrats micromanage every aspect of your life," the taxman "seizes most of what you earn," and death panelsyes, those fictional death panelsdetermine whether you live or die. Reed insists that Obama will destroy capitalism and replace it with "Socialistic economic theories."
Here's the most inflammatory line: If Obama wins reelection, "he can complete America's destruction." This warning, naturally, is presented in bold print.
Does Reed truly believe Obama is bent on the ultimate destruction of the nation? An FFC spokeswoman declined to respond to requests for comment. ....................(more)

Then they said it after the Affordable Care Act Passed.
Then they said it when Fast and Furious was found to be Dud and Dumb Investigation.
Does ANYONE believe these "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" idiots anymore?

(47,675 posts)He just won't go away. We have some of his minions, Rove, Rush, Cantor, O'Reilly, Hannity, The Coulterbeast, Boner, Akin, McConnell, and too many others to list. But he's the force behind them. He's the anti-Christ. The world is doomed.
