Like Father, Like Klan

This is a must read article. Every word. From the photograph of George W. Bush giving Neo-Klansmen Wesley Pruden, Jnr. and Fran Coombs and anti-Semite Tony Blankley a tour of the Oval Office, to this interesting look at the Moonie Times' ad policy:

The Washington Times has taken something of a public relations beating recently. This Jan. 20, it ran an ad attacking Jews as "those folks of the anti-Christ." After the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington complained, Times general manager Richard Amberg Jr. wrote the group to profusely apologize, claiming the Times "never knowingly" allows ads that "denigrate religions."

That may be. But in just one sample period in late 2004, the newspaper ran at least nine similar ads -- on Oct. 11, 13, 15, 20, 22, 26, 29, 30 and 31 -- many of them plugging an anti-Semitic book called For Fear of the Jews.

On Dec. 6, it went one better, publishing an ad for the Institute for Historical Review, a leading anti-Semitic hate group that specializes in denying the World War II Holocaust.

Of course, Bigot Pruden and his fellow sheetwearers will assert that running Holocaust denial ads demonstrates the paper's coverage isn't controlled by the Unification Church, since the Father's view is that the Holocaust did occur, and was appropriate "indemnity" for the death of Christ.

Makes you wonder why Elliot Abrams is so enamored of Moon. Maybe it's their status as fellow convicts.
