Why can't the Democrats bring up Rev. Moon's Anti-American Statements?

[Tony_FLADEM]

Moon's rhetoric has turned stridently anti-American, another problem for the Religious Right and its strongly patriotic positions. On May 1, 1997, Moon told a group of followers that "the country that represents Satan's harvest is America." < Unification News, June 1997> In other sermons, he has vowed that his victorious movement will "digest" any American who tries to maintain his or her individuality. He especially has criticized American women who must "negate yourself 100 percent" to be a receptacle for the male seed.

2. Wow and Pappy * and Moon are best buds.

I have long wondered why this was never brought out in the press, other than the obvious reasons. It seems like the time has come to have a peak at it. Peace,Kim

11. I used to love Bartcop.

Right now, unless one is a Hill supporter, he is pretty hard to stomach. Don't know how he will take it if she goes down. peace,Kim

4. Because Moon owns as many Dems as Repubs, and twice as many on-air "pundits"

Ain't nobody even gonna tell the public that he EXISTS,
let alone denounce him.

EDIT: White folks don't pee their pants and hide their daughters worrying about angry Koreans, after all.

8. Hillary likes Rev Moon or at least what he was doing?

maybe Hillary didn't know what she was endorsing?

9. The DLC does not attack it's fellow conservatives as racist- only bi-racial progressives.

What is there to be confused about?

14. It's complicated. Some people are working on it

I have made the point on my blog devoted to Moon. Actually, I just started a thread on DU that gives some answers to why many hateful preachers on the right don't received the criticism they deserve--it's a little more complicated than race. However, your point is well-taken.

I write about Moon but people in the media don't generally take note. John Gorenfeld just came out with an excellent book on Moon but it hasn't received the attention it deserves. Perhaps one thing people should do is to read John's book: http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Moon-Rising-Washington-Religious/dp/0979482232/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204410093&sr=1-1
