After Mccain launches the S.S. Swiftboat during the debate, Obama could reply by saying...
"John McCain wants to change the subject and I don't blame him. If I were planning to exacerbate the Bush horror of the last 8 years with more of the same or worse, I would want to change the subject also. But let's not get into this sort of thing. I mean, I could bring up the fact that the entire conservative movement which has lead us into this mess and supports Sen. McCain has been funded, propped up, molded and promoted by Sun Myung Moon. Might I remind my fellow Americans that Moon's goal, according to the first editor of the Washington Times, has been nothing short of subverting our nation's political system. I do maintain the hope that some of these conservatives will wake up to who it is that has been manipulating them and come back from the dark side." :7

Link to: Poppy Bush supports Moon's messianic mission.

Link to: Video of James Whelan's 1991 talk about Moon's media

Quoting James Whelan from the video:

"They (the Moonies) are subverting our political system. They're doing it through front organizations--most of them disguised--and through their funding of independent organizations--through the placement of volunteers in the inner sanctums of hard-pressed organizations. In every instance--in every instance--those who attend their conferences, those who accept their money or their volunteers, delude themselves that there is no loss of virtue because the Moonies have not proselytized. That misses the central, crucial point: the Moonies are a political movement in religious clothing. Moon seeks power, not the salvation of souls. To achieve that, he needs religious fanatics as his palace guard and shock troops. But more importantly, he needs secular conscripts--seduced by money, free trips, free services, seemingly endless bounty and booty--in order to give him respectability and, with it, that image of influence which translates as power."

1. Americans don't know what the word "exacerbate" means.
