Hitler and Stalin have been reborn as new people

More than a dozen U.S. lawmakers turned out for a Capitol Hill reception honoring the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the controversial leader of the Unification Church.

 

Some of the lawmakers later said they were duped when questioned about their presence at the event held at the Dirksen Senate Office Building on March 23.

 

and here's the excuses..

 

The bipartisan turnout included both of Minnesota's U.S. senators, Democrat Mark Drayton and Republican Norm Coleman.

 

A Drayton spokeswoman said the senator ducked in for a few minutes, got his photo taken during an awards ceremony, and then left. There was no indication Moon would be there, the senator's staff said.

 

"We went to greet constituents," Coleman said. "We weren't present for any strange activities that took place."

 

(...)

 

The Washington Times Foundation was listed as one of the sponsors of the gathering, and some GOP lawmakers told the Post they attended the reception to honor the conservative newspaper, which is owned by Moon.

 

One of them, Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Maryland, said he had no idea Moon would receive an award and deliver a speech.

 

aaaand

 

According to the Post, the religious leader told the gathering that even "... dictators such as Hitler and Stalin, have found strength in my teachings, mended their ways and been reborn as new persons."

 

and

 

Use of the Senate office building for the event would have to be approved by a senator. The identity of that senator is "shrouded in mystery," Stallings told the Post.

 

I wouldn't feel too bad for the Congressmen duped by Moon. They're just among the thousands. The people fooled into thinking this fucking nutcase is a Messiah. At least Norm Coleman didn't get married to another person during the ceremony.

 

So, which Senator OK'd this?

I'm saying Orrin Hatch.

Rev. Lovejoy> Rev. Moon

Well, we can safely say after this rambling performance that the amount of control he exercises over the Washington Times is minimal. It's conservative --- but it's not, you know, bloody insane.

Wow. Suddently, George Soros seems like a pretty well-adjusted guy.

Nah. He's every inch as crazy.

Well, at least he's quiet about it.

 

I think of Soros more as Scaife than Moon, but I just prefer the Moon comparison becase it makes our guy look less crazy.

 

 

 

Well, at least I'm honest.
