Jeremiah Wright Versus Sun Myung Moon
John Gorenfeld has a succinct chart on the differences. Make sure to check out John's new book, Bad Moon Rising--it's eye-opening.

I also have a post on my Moonie blog on how Moon's Washington Times has helped to legitimize GOP dirty tricks during recent presidential campaigns.

The Rev. Moon Honored at Hill Reception
Lawmakers Say They Were Misled

By Charles Babington and Alan Cooperman
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, June 23, 2004; Page A01

More than a dozen lawmakers attended a congressional reception this year honoring the Rev. Sun Myung Moon in which Moon declared himself the Messiah and said his teachings have helped Hitler and Stalin be "reborn as new persons."


At the March 23 ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) wore white gloves and carried a pillow holding an ornate crown that was placed on Moon's head. The Korean-born businessman and religious leader then delivered a long speech saying he was "sent to Earth . . . to save the world's six billion people. . . . Emperors, kings and presidents . . . have declared to all Heaven and Earth that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."

Details of the ceremony -- first reported by Salon.com writer John Gorenfeld -- have prompted several lawmakers to say they were misled or duped by organizers. Their complaints prompted a Moon-affiliated Web site to remove a video of the "Crown of Peace" ceremony two days ago, but other Web sites have preserved details and photos.

Moon, 85, has been controversial for years. Renowned for officiating at mass weddings, he received an 18-month prison sentence in 1982 for tax fraud and conspiracy to obstruct justice. In a 1997 sermon, he likened homosexuals to "dirty dung-eating dogs."

4. You're absolutely right--e.g., Hillary
Hillary endorsed Moon's Universal Peace Federation and the Moonies didn't hesitate to point this out to their followers and potential recruits: http://realsunmyungmoon.blogspot.com/2008/01/hillary-and-sun-myung-moon-strategic.html

It's a bipartisan scandal.
