Why the hell do any Dems worry about this right wing nuthouse of an organization? It’s essentially a fundamentalist version of Islam crossed with a cult with a good dab of social conservatism, a platter of homophobia, a nice touch of racism, and finally a healthy scoop of anti-semitism all mixed together.
Eric has the most recent rant by Farakhan:
These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength. ? It?s the wicked Jews, false Jews that make it a crime for you to preach the word of God, then they call you homophobic.
Does everyone get that is essentially referring to Jews like Ari Emanuel, Rahm’s brother?
And they are homophobic dammit! Let ’em go join IFI–they have more in common with them the Democratic Party. IFI runs all sorts of fun stuff like bin Laden has a point…
They’d fit in well in the Catholic Leage. I bet Farakhan and Bill Donohue would be peas in a pod.
WILLIAM DONAHUE, PRESIDENT, CATHOLIC LEAGUE: I spoke to Mel a couple of weeks ago about this. And I don?t think it really matters a whole lot to him. It certainly doesn?t matter to me. We?ve already won.
Who really cares what Hollywood thinks? All these hacks come out there. Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It?s not a secret, OK? And I?m not afraid to say it. That?s why they hate this movie. It?s about Jesus Christ, and it?s about truth. It?s about the messiah.
Hollywood likes anal sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes. I like families. I like children. They like abortions. I believe in traditional values and restraint. They believe in libertinism. We have nothing in common. But you know what? The culture war has been ongoing for a long time. Their side has lost.
You have got secular Jews. You have got embittered ex-Catholics, including a lot of ex-Catholic priests who hate the Catholic Church, wacko Protestants in the same group, and these people are in the margins. Frankly, Michael Moore represents a cult movie. Mel Gibson represents the mainstream of America.
I bolded the above, if it wasn’t clear.
Let right wing bigots be right wing bigots, just not in my party.
