Olbermann VIDEO: "Just Get Me A F__king Faith Based Thing"
Olbermann video: Republicans dupe the faithful

RAW STORY

Keith Olbermann, in the second of a three-part series on MSNBC's Countdown, discusses how the Republicans have "duped" the faithful for their votes.

Using David Kuo's recent book Tempting Faith as the basis of his commentary, Olbermann in particular focuses on a telling remark attributed to presidential advisor Karl Rove: "Just get me a f*ing faith-based thing."

Kuo is a "self-described conservative Christian" and former special assistant to President Bush.

3. Thanks for this!
So it was Faith Based Initiatives that gave churches the excuse they needed to allow the Republicans to organize their congregations.

I'm glad KO brought up the fact that Jesus never said anything against homosexuals.

"Christians" today worship the god of the Old Testament, the God of anger and violence with a million rules that you must live by or be damned. Not the god of the New Testament who has one commandment, Love.

4. Hey, Tony Snow says Rove was asked if he said the things in
the book and Rove said "No". Case closed. When has Rove or Snow ever lied to us? :sarcasm:
