2. He has his had up the ass of the Republican party

He has been heavily involved with every Republican President since Nixon. He owns the Washington Times only using it as a propaganda outlet for the religious right and the repukes. He is involved in every right wing group in Washington. Some might think he has a hand in the current brain washing being perpetrated on the masses by the repukes. Need more?

He's a crazy, filthy rich, hard right wingnut with an agenda.
What's not to like?

4. Moon thinks he's the messah...and was given a coronation in Washington...

You definitely have to read this from salon.com:

Excerpt:

On March 23, the Dirksen Senate Office Building was the scene of a coronation ceremony for Rev. Sun Myung Moon, owner of the conservative Washington Times newspaper and UPI wire service, who was given a bejeweled crown by Rep. Danny K. Davis, D-Ill. Afterward, Moon told his bipartisan audience of Washington power players he would save everyone on Earth as he had saved the souls of Hitler and Stalin -- the murderous dictators had been born again through him, he said. In a vision, Moon said the reformed Hitler and Stalin vouched for him, calling him "none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."

To many observers, this bizarre scene would have looked like the apocalypse as depicted in "Left Behind" novels. Moon, 84, the benefactor of conservative foundations like the American Family Coalition -- who served time in the 1980s for tax fraud and conspiracy to obstruct justice -- has views somewhere to the right of the Taliban's Mullah Omar. Moon preaches that gays are "dung-eating dogs," Jews brought on the Holocaust by betraying Jesus, and the U.S. Constitution should be scrapped in favor of a system he calls "Godism" -- with him in charge. The man crowned "King of Peace" by congressmen once said, according to sermons reprinted in his church's Unification News: "Suppose I were to hit you with the baseball bat to stop you, bloodying your ear and breaking a bone or two, yet still you insisted on doing more work for Father."

Lots of info but I hope it helps you.
He basically thinks he's the messiah and has a lot of influence on our political and religious leaders.

6. Moon has kept the Bush dynasty propped up for years. They return the favor

by making him accepted as a power player around the world.

Poppy and GHWB go back over 40 years. Moon went from being vilified as a cult leader to a DC player who owns The Washington Times, which is primarily a tool for GOP and Bush family propaganda, owns most of the news studios and video crews around DC, and controls almost half this nation's fishing industry.

Not so odd when you consider that he claims to be the new Messiah and was sent to earth to finish the job that his brother Jesus failed to complete. Guess he needs a "loaves and fishes" scenario of his own someday....like when Mad Cow strikes American herds.

Moon's number one "son" is Bill Gertz who writes almost all the "insider" scoop stories from military and intel sources who just happen to always agree with Bush's strategy and spread stories that support his position. Go figure.

12. It was Gertz that came up with the Moonie Times story about

Russian convoys trucking the missing explosives out of Al Qaqaa (the damn devious commies)despite the overwhelming evidence that it never happened.

7. He's a convicted felon, dumped his wife for a young babe and is Messiah

He served prison time for tax evasion and was sent back to Korea for a while - persona non grata. He dumped his loyal wife for a younger woman and the lovely couple now presides over mass marriages of their smiling young charges. He has proclaimed himself God's answer to Earth's problems - a few months ago he said that he is the Messiah, sent by God to finish what Jesus left undone. He said this in the Dirksen Office Building, an annex of the United States Capitol building, at the invitation of prominent politicians, both Repugs and Democrats (sad to say). He has bankrolled the Washington Times for some twenty years, at a loss of millions of dollars every single year, to provide a foil for the evil "liberal media".

Not to put too fine a point on things, but Moon is a huckster, a hack, and a shit head. Google his name and get ready for a brain full of craziness about the guy.

8. Isn't Moon some kind of kinky orgy sex freak?

I heard he's into some pretty extreme stuff, in particular contrast with Right-Wing Christian Conservative standards.
