One page, headed “The Evil Empire,” pictures Obama as the Joker from Batman, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leaders Harry Reid are depicted as Cruella DeVille (sic) and Scooby Doo, respectively.<< >>The RNC reacted with alarm to a question about it (the document) Wednesday, emailing major donors to warn them of a reporter’s question, and distancing Steele from its contents.<< >>The small donors who are the targets of direct marketing are described under the heading “Visceral Giving.” Their motivations are listed as “fear;” “Extreme negative feelings toward existing Administration;” and “Reactionary.” Major donors, by contrast, are treated in a column headed “Calculated Giving.” Their motivations include: “Peer to Peer Pressure”; “access”; and “Ego-Driven.” The slide also allows that donors may have more honorable motives, including “Patriotic Duty.”<< More conservative-style chuckles at the link: <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0310/33866.html" target="_blank">http://www.politico.com/news/s...866.html</a>
