On Glenn Beck radio show today, he imitates wild-eyed preacher fanatic voice and says, "C'm 'ere, I'm going to baptize you in
Jesus' Name and cast those demons out of you." I think his tone even emphasized Jesus Name, so I bolded it like I think I heard it, but all went by quickly.
The larger context was to mock extremists, to appeal to moderate Democrats, as to say, "I understand
you're not like this." (Almost a quote.) So, JN baptizing preachers weren't being specifically mocked, but used as emblematic of mock-worthy extremists.
So, are JN folk becoming the 21st Century code for "nutjob?" In the previous decades, I recall the code joke was "holy rollers." But havent' heard that term lately. Thanks, Glenn, nice to learn who you Mormons regard as wacko.
