No, it does fit. He claimed that televangelist and others are *not* the 
sort of Christian he is, because they spend a lot of time *claiming* to 
have a superior morality and vision of the truths of the world than 
everyone else, and he personally knew they where wrong, but then went on 
to use the same claims of moral superiority and greater vision of the 
truths of the world to condemn the rest of us for not admitting to the 
obvious genius and understanding "he" had about such things.
