Reed’s idealism only extended “as far as the cash goes.”

The Faith and Freedom Coalition (FFC), a group helmed by former Christian coalition leader and disgraced Jack Abramoff cohort Ralph Reed, has sent out a mail-in questionnaire asking recipients whether President Barack Obama is a bigger threat to America than the Nazis, the Communists or the “American Civil War.” The FFC, says Mother Jones magazine, is a non-profit organization tasked with mobilizing evangelical christian voters to the polls this fall in hopes of electing former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) president.

The questionnaire asked, “How much danger do you think liberty is in right now as a result of President Obama’s policies, actions and agenda for America’s failure?” The options, which respondents are urged to choose by marking in a bubble like a standardized test, include, “More serious than the threats we faced in World War II from Nazi Germany and the Japanese because the attack on liberty is from our own government,” as well as “More serious than the threat we faced from the Soviet Union during the Cold War,” and “More serious than the American Civil War.”

It was during the investigation of Abramoff’s extensive corrupt dealings that a 1998 email from Reed came to light regarding Reed’s transition from Christian Coalition head to full-time lobbying. It read, “Hey, now that I’m done with the electoral politics, I need to start humping in corporate accounts! I’m counting on you to help me with some contacts.”

When a colleague of Abramoff’s once asked him if Reed wasn’t too much of a Christian ideologue to make an effective lobbyist, Abramoff said Reed’s idealism only extended “as far as the cash goes.”
