I want to give a BIG THANKS to ralph reed and the gang!

[slor]

Yesterday I thanked delay, and now it is your turn, big guy! The way you guys played the fundies was nothing short of spectacular. As a Liberal, I could have never conceived of the duplicity that you used to garner their trust, only to plunge, oh so deep, a dagger that was the very essence of Machiavellian politics. You guys played them like a 10 cent kazoo, and for that, you should be proud. Furthermore, the humility you have displayed, hoping, to keep the emails that spoke of your triumph over the "wackos", from reaching the public arena, well let me just say, that I wish everyone could do such good, while simultaneously rejecting the limelight. Did I say "good"? No, this was GREAT! You have done what those of us that reject the anti-American value of combining religion and politics could have never imagined. You have so effectively destroyed the credibility of the Christian Right, by exposing their very gullibility. As they learn of the scope of the charade you perpetrated upon them, one can only wonder at the level of damage you may have done to their trust, or if they will ever trust any politician again. Bravo boys, Brav-fucking-o!

3. That quote should be on all Progressive literature until the end

of time.

"The wackos get their information through the Christian right, Christian radio, mail, the internet and telephone trees," he wrote. "..bring out the wackos to vote against and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them."

4. Test of success: If the Washington Journal host answers the phone and

says - "WACKO from Bluefield, Montana" - or maybe they will say - "WACKO, do you have a question for our guest"

5. Yes, these folks gave us something. If their own people call them

WACKOS, we may be even. WACKOS call us commies, pinkos, bleeding hearts, libbruls. Now, we will have a 'never to be forgotten' label for them.
