By Runner No comments

Countdown With Keith Olbermann does it again! In an exclusive report, "Playing Christians for fools" on Oct. 11, Olbermann reviews a copy of new the book that suggests the White House repeatedly uses evangelical Christians for their votes, while consistently given them nothing in return.

'Tempting Faith' author David Kuo writes in the book, previewed by Olbermann, that then-White House political affairs director Ken Mehlman knowingly participated in a scheme to use evangelicals, and taxpayer funds, to mount ostensibly "nonpartisan" events that were, in reality, designed with the intent of mobilizing religious voters in 20 targeted races.

The book 'Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction' is scheduled for release on Oct. 16.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
