Gunzburger's research
Above: Rep. Charles Rangel
Ron Gunzburger's Politics1 and this blog have been singled out as the Moon organization's least favorite destinations on the Web. Ron has just discovered some new things about Congressmen and their travels with Moon in the past -- including, he says, a 2001 Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) - Phil Crane (R-Ill.) resolution on the floor of Congress promoting Moon's ideas.
And it turns out that Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), who recently issued a proclamation (here's the picture) recognizing Moon as the True Parent, has a longer past with Moon than his spokesman let on when I spoke with him. As long ago as 1994, Rangel was M.C.'ing Moon's "Mr. and Miss University Pageant" in New York City. The primary sponsor: CARP, the Unification Church's main arm for recruiting college students.
Licensed counselor Steve Hassan, who specializes in helping people recover from cults, used to lead a CARP chapter. He's left the group, and now he has a few articles on his site about what he calls its deceptive methods.
...Reader Phil makes an important point about the relationship between Sun Myung Moon and the Black Congressional Caucus. While Moon's billions have helped the agenda of white Republicans who flock to him, it's much less clear that any political agenda of black Democrats has been served by Moon's money.
...And Ron also promises to reveal more about John Ashcroft singing at a Moon event. Awesome!
