"Full tilt" attack on Davis

As ABC News reported, Roscoe Bartlett (R-Maryland) was also bowing to Rev. Moon at the ceremony, though he's escaped media coverage, and has a much lamer excuse than Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.). While Davis is proudly defending his association with Moon's Family Federation, Bartlett, who carried imperial robes to the dais, told ABC through a spokesman that he didn't know Moon was going to be there. Spur of the moment!

With that in mind, read this new dispatch from Illinois American Family Coalition director Bruce Sutchar, leaked this morning:

Emergency Situation:

please respond immediately

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Our dear brother Congressman Danny Davis is being attacked by the media full tilt.

Please read the attached Chicago Tribune editorial and please ask your best ministers to write a letter to the editor to the Chicago Tribune decrying their treatment of Congressman Davis and their treatment of Rev and and Mrs. Moon.

Rev. Jenkins has asked for at least 30 letters from our ministers.

Also some ministers may be asked to go downtown and meet with the Tribune editorial board this very week.

In related news, some script kiddie is sending this Web site an unprecedented number of virus e-mails. It's Unix, it can take it.

"Bad Moon on the Rise" on the rise

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."
-- New York Times editorial on the Crown of Peace scandal

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
