Joseph Farah: Moon's critics include racists, religion-haters

World Net Daily's conservative publisher, a few years ago, wrote:

Those who are making the sideways comments about UPI's new owners are, to cut to the chase, racists and bigots.

If UPI's new owners were not Asians, were not conservatives and were not religious people, there would be no problem with this deal in the eyes of the critics. That's bigotry. That's small-mindedness. And it's one of the reasons the establishment press is losing its monopoly grip on Americans.

I think there's plenty of room in America for more voices -- voices like the Washington Times.

(Insight and other Moon publications have since shared content with WND). For an alternative perspective, there's New York Press columnist Mike Signorile, who objects to Moon based on his understanding that the Times owner wants gay people exterminated.

"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."

"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)
