Message to Black Caucus...if you form your own party...I'll join!

[Sperk]

We need another Democratic party...one with a backbone and it seems like the vast majority of courage comes from the African American Reps. I think they should join their own progressive party. I'd work for them. Free of charge.

1. Add me to that list

[Cocoa]

2. the Moonie wing of the dem party

I'm exaggerating there, but they really should cut their associations with Moon.

15. I thought you were joking.

Maybe this guy made this up. I hope so.

<edit>

Here's Charlie Rangel's signed proclamation on his letterhead honoring Sun Myung Moon, who's called for the U.S. Constitution to be scrapped and American individualism squashed -- a gentleman identified in Time magazine as a "megalomaniac," and known for public speeches with such sentiments as, "Satan is clinging to our sexual organs," and calling gay people "dirty dung-eating dogs."

...Um, this is what Congressman Charles Rangel writes to him:

Be it known...I, CHARLES B. RANGEL, Member of Congress, 15th Congressional District, by the power and authority vested in me, this 16th day of April, 2004, do recognize you as "True Parents" exemplifying self-giving service and leadership and as "King of Peace" in the key areas of reconciliation and peacemaking over fifty (50) years.

<edit>

...The significance is that the Moon movement is actively pursuing the black caucus, as part of a campaign tying in with last year's "tear down the cross and worship me instead" antics aimed at wooing the African-American clergy. Until recently, they were known mainly for their stable of white conservatives.

...Also, the "ambassadors for peace" group honoring Rangel and other members of Congress has previously endorsed a Neo-Nazi.
