Wonkette

Reason #27 that this country is such a fucking mess...

IMO Buddhism is better for Korea than Christianity, because with the Korean sense of tragedy plus Christianity you get this kind of Messianic freakiness.

So Moon wants his religion to transcend Christianity. Well it's dumber than Christianity, so it's going in the right direction.

@Publican: What the fuck is wrong with you?

@Dr. Spaceman:

That was fucking disgusting. It appears that we have a sadistic and hideous exhibitionist in our midst...

If I die and my spirit is resurrected by Moonies, I'm going to be one motherf***ing pissed off ghost.

Great video...I've always wondered how this lunatic little Korean troll has managed to stay out of prison, and here he is getting his ass kissed by freakin' Repugs in Washington.

I used to work with a nurse whose Japanese husband was a sushi chef in a Moonie restaurant...he wasn't a Moonie but she said most everyone else there was and they also owned the 2 other sushi places in town, which I'm sure NO one else is aware of...big moneymakers for the 'Church'!

How disgusting and despicable to know the Bush crime family has supported this nutcase with OUR freakin' tax dollars? I remember when Wonkette posted this piece about Bush buying big piece of land in Paraguay next door to even BIGGER place owned by Moon?! [wonkette.com]

To see Congressmen bowing down and putting fucking crowns on this asshole (in a public building no less) makes me want to vomit. And don't even get me started about his propaganda Nazis at the Washington Times...one of their slimeball columnists, Tony Blankly, is seen often on various MSM 'news' shows spewing forth like he's some kind of right-wing avatar when he's really nothing but a flaming moron and Moonie mouthpiece?!

And the little fuck has been here for 30 years and still can't even speak English? I can't wait til John McCain announces that he FINALLY got that big Rev. Moon endorsement he's been working so hard for...maybe the Right Reverend will re-enact McCain's torture sessions just for old times? (oh, wait that was the Vietnam...oh well, a gook is a gook, right!)

@Publican: Projecting?

I hope that Rev. Rupert Murdoch gets that Washington Times stuff rubbed in his face ... that he's not thee person to come up with that 'let's milk the Conservatives!' idea.

The scariest part of the cult is the Denny's breakfast that's named after Moon.

Why wasn't Korea be content giving the world Khalbi, K-Pop and Hyundais? The Moonies make me want to pretend to be Japanese (as my Korean ancestors roll in their graves.)

@olofpalme: Wow, I go to check out the site before bed and there is a commenter posting a picture of a hairy asshole. That's a pretty good way to be banned.

@JimNewell: Muat be terrible before closing your eyes at night to see an image of Cheney.

@JimNewell: Are you sure he wasn't hacked by some a*hole?

@Monsieur_Grumpé: MoonPie for dessert.

All this seems perfectly rational to me. What exactly is the problem?

a) I want to know why Publican was banned ( a picture of an ass?)
b) If this was McCain's reverend, then we'd have a holy fight for the presidency. Wright vs. Moon vs. Procanick. Who would win - crazy cult leader, black separatist, or pedophile?

full disclosure--ken layne--has a plug for the book on their webste. further proof of the world wide satanist plot to dis the "king".

i wonder if mr moon's available for some burger king commercials? think of the possibilities!

Why are you all so mean to the Deli Llama?

Join the Moonies, all you loonies
Come and pray with Sun Myung Moon!
Meet a girl at 9:30.
We will marry you by noon!

@PutinMuscles: Yes, if you saw it, it was definitely bannable material. This wasn't cute baby ass, or even 7-diamond-hooker ass. This was hairy man-ass, looking into the dark abyss.

Wonkette standards of decency:
Polar bear crotch: OK!
Hairy man-ass: NO!

DId anyone look over that "list of affiliated companies" that are owned by Moon? The "Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr Family Life Insurance Company" ?

I envision a beautiful, unified future. Where the moonies and the scientologists fight brutal cage matches in South Dakota, where we can be sure to be free from their influence.

A few notes:

This video serves as a useful reminder that SNL could suck back in the '70's, too.

Wonkette somehow needs to hire the Moon teen news service anchors featured at the end. Just imagine them reporting on the latest Congressional blow jobs in those awed-yet-hyper-perky voices.

@PutinMuscles: As the video mentions, Charlie Black, McCain's senior campaign adviser, served on Moon's "coronation" committee. So don't worry, the Rev's got his man in place.

Teddy Roosevelt died?

Anyang?

Now this is how you run a cult, folks!

my favorite part about the Washington Times videoclips is how everyone looks too afraid to move.

Now you will bow down and put crown on my head, grasshoppah...

What is the sound of multiple congressdopes bootlicking?

Wow...not cool...

My company holds quite a few events at the New Yorker Hotel every year - heck - our most recent one was last week. I think that I should bring this up with our CEO. It really makes me feel ... well... queasy (yes, queasy) to think that we've been giving this nut job thousands and thousands of dollars in business.

In all seriousness... does anyone who reads this blog know where to get a list of companies that Sun Myung Moon owns in New York City? I would really appreciate it.

@Misztrez_Mish:

Steve Hassan's Freedom of Mind website has a list of Moon-operated businesses by state updated as of last year but I don't if it will be of much help to you.

The Chicago Tribune's story on Moon and the sushi business is pretty interesting. I'm going to be wondering if I am eating Moonie sushi from now on.

It is almost unbelievable how the relationship between Moon and the Bush family gets so little attention from the public. For example, the Houston Chronicle in 2006 reported that Moon donated $1 million to the Greater Houston Community Foundation which in turn donated the million bucks to the George H W Bush Library.

The Moonies are looking for a pardon for Moon. I wonder if he will get one from GWB.

BTW, America has had 43 presidents, but just one King... and it isn't Reverend Moon:

So the Washington Times has lost $ 3B since 1982? Doesn't that tell us everything we need to know about their agenda?

America deserves whatever it gets from gurus like Moon and all the others.

Wow.

I just watched that. I don't have anything snarky to say.

Wow.

@bitchincamaro: I'll spell it out. It means they don't need money to stay in business; that the Times performs a service that is compensated elsewhere.

Like in "faith-based" funding, say.

Nevermind all this, though. The smart money's moving to Paraguay.

Speaking of the pardon for Moon, I'm sure it will go somewhere in the middle of the pardons for Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush himself, and hundreds (if not thousands) of other members, semi-famous or not, of this corrupt regime.

Sun Myung Moon-ies, everybody knows one
Sun Myung Moon-ies, every garden grows one

Me and you, are subject to
The Moonies now and then
But when you take the Moonies
And make a song
You sing 'em out again
You sing 'em out again

Please ... reverned Sun Myung Moon ... reserect Publican!

Oh my fucking god. I don't know nor care if I can get banned for swearing. This is the most fucked up thing i've ever heard about. I never knew. No wonder this country's fucked. Fuck.

@smackswell:
Oh, shit... did this motherfucker just mutherfucking swear in motherfuckin' Wonkette? Motherfuckin' ban him, right motherfuckin' now, somebody!

oh shitcunt. Fucking ban me.

Some of the things that happen within the Beltway are baffling. The kind of press Barbara Bush got when she arrived in Washington, let us say. (Remember Time magazine doing a cover story on "The Silver Fox"?) But nothing is weirder to those of us who don't live there than the idea of the Washington Times being quoted as if it were a newspaper instead of an organ of the Moon empire. It's not like he suddenly became sane or anything.

Ok, he completely lost me when he started calling the Times a powerful paper. People can't give that shit away for free -- it's literally the #3 free paper after the Express and the Examiner (the Examiner!!!). Except that it's usually not even free, which is even weirder.

@Omnilation's Dog: They may not sell a lot of papers, but their audiencce, every Republican Congressional office and GOP committee staff, read it like it were gospel. They get free copies.

To counter Moon, practice free sex--often!

@Di's Muslim Kid:
Not to mention that for a while there Chick Fil-A restaurants were giving the paper out for free with a breakfast purchase.

The paper bleeds money like Enron during the bad old days, but like all right-wing propaganda it's really viewed as more of an advertising expense to sell your product (conservatism) than as an actual business venture. Right-wing TV and radio make money for the same reason Rambo movies and Toby Keith have an audience: check your brain at the door and breathe through the mouth for a while. But reading and rational thought make much greater demands on the higher faculties and thus, are largely the province of the left. That's why the only moderately successful conservative newspapers stay in business by running "Prom Night Massacre" pieces and a topless girl on Page 3.

What a mindblowing video!, I knew the Washington times is a moonie shitrag and I knew the moonies grease a lot of conservative palms, but the Koronashun ob woild peas there was someting else---and in a public building no less. I been refusing to buy Gortons Fish for a long time rather than put money in Moonie pockets, but the notion that they are getting millions for "abstinence education?" Makes me wonder how comfortable the fundies are with their kids being taught any topic at all by moonies. The only saving grace of the unification church is that Moon is absolutely bonkers.

Free the Publican one!

North Korea Threatens South Korea With Destruction Over 'Pre-Emptive Strike' Comments

Mar 30, 2008 11:28 EST

South Korea's Defense Ministry reacted calmly.

South Korean officials have occasionally traveled across the two countries' heavily fortified border for talks.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has pledged to review rapprochement projects pushed by his two liberal predecessors, saying progress in efforts to halt the North's nuclear program was a prerequisite for further large investment and aid projects.

Free the Publican one before he joints the insurgency at PETA.org!

@swami ji: this guy is not welcome in South Korea and when his little butt boys and girls started big business everywhere in South Korea we did not know where thses companies coming from. this guy is everything wrong about everything. what would "jesus's son" do? Grab more money!!

@Btwbfdimho: OMG! stop this! I mean the cruelty and THIS PIC!!!

Mr. Toad aka Tony Blankly is a reversibly respectacular intellexual, commentary of whose very impuning will a bad moon rise over the Washington Times.

@SCROTUS: Wow. I actually heard his voice reading that.

@Serolf Divad: Fuckin A, man. I'm offended by all this shitty swearing. Can I haz me some FCC now?

Instead of starting my own cult, I'm thinking about starting an anti-cult. Just as soon as I figure out what it is.

It's only a newspaper Moon.
