Mike Hucksterbee and Willard "Muff/Mousse/Flip Flop Mitt" Romney are finding out what happens when you pander to a base of bigots. (Hint: it's akin to "you are what you eat.") In their latest salvos on "Who loves Jeebus more," Hucksterbee ("Christian leader") took another swipe at Willard's Mormon faith, and Willard fired back at Hucksterbee's un-Americanism for bringing it up. Well, when you're dealing with the likes of Bobo and Milton (typical Rethug Iowa caucus voters and products of "Christian" home-schooling, pictured above), the level of discussion is expected to be fairly shallow; but the crudity that we're starting to see from these nimrods, and from those who act for and support them, is not a little frightening. If this on-going back-and-forth doesn't imply a religious test for public office, what does? How many of these base voters believe deep in their hearts that America is only to be governed by a Christian (read: evangelical Christian right-winger)?
As Sinclair Lewis said, "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying the cross."
