Here's what Tucker Carlson had to say on this weekend's Chris Matthews Show:
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.
It doesn't matter that us Realists have known this for a long time. When the reg'lar fundies (as opposed to the political christofascists, who are hopeless) figure out how bad they've been punk'd, they're gonna get really pissed off. It's about time.
When somebody like Carlson says it out loud, it must in fact be happening and obvious to the most casual observer. Good. Even good Christians don't like being taken for useful idiots, particularly by the Devil.
