Rev. Moon shares his life in words

By Jennifer Harper, The Washington Times

“He has been on the planet nine decades, and he is buoyant of spirit and sure of step.

“The Rev. Sun Myung Moon was in Washington on Thursday to publicly introduce "As a Peace-Loving Global Citizen," his much-anticipated autobiography that recounts the joys and challenges, the teachable moments and the monumental experiences of his life - much of it spent as a spiritual leader.

“A 20-piece Lovin' Life Ministries Band with a chorus of young people clad in svelte black raised the roof from a stage bedecked in flowers and bathed in ivory and peach-colored light.

“"Louder and louder, and we'll run for our lives," they sang, to a jumbo-sized audience of people who were appreciative and dressed in their Sunday best.

“There was some speechifying from Liberian Ambassador Milton Nathaniel Barnes and Washington's the Rev. Walter E. Fauntroy, plus written congratulatory greetings from Sen. Joe Lieberman, Connecticut independent; former Secretary of State Alexander Haig, and former President George H.W. Bush - handwritten and hand-delivered by his son Neil Bush.”

-Doesn’t this make you just want to puke? The Washington Times is the official news organ of the Republican Party, after Rupert’s Wall Street Journal. Some treat them as a legitimate news outlet, ignoring the fact that Moon has poured $3 billion of his ill-gotten gains into it, even as he bankrolls Republican politicians such as the Bush family. This is Sun Myung Moon, Korean cargo-cult religious charlatan and convicted felon. The self-proclaimed messiah who claims that his teaching has saved Hitler and Stalin and helped them be reborn as new persons; yeah, probably Beck and Limbaugh.
