#11  Just a wee bit of a follow up:

Fox news reports: The incendiary reverend has conducted mass weddings for his followers, claimed that the Jews started the Holocaust by betraying Jesus Christ and was sentenced to 18 months in jail in the 1980s for tax fraud.

Must have been mostly Donks...hee, haw...

#6  Brother, this goes to show how thick Democrats are. Rev. Moon owns the Washington Times, an anti-Democrat newspaper. Duh...what's the point of carrying pillows for a political adversary?

#5  ...What I'm seeing in these articles about this mess is that one reason we're not seeing much is although it was a 'bipartisan' crowd, it was overwhelmingly Donk.

A United States Representative "carried a pillow holding an ornate crown that was placed on Moon’s head"?!

Crown? Should’ve been a foil hat if you ask me. Talk about a complex! Well, it was a Democrat Rep. I guess that makes sense . . . sort of.

#1  SH,

You should have given us some of the details:

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.


Somebody needs to be removed from office. The constitution says we don't do that crown thing.
