Ummm...

Ummm....do what?

More than a dozen lawmakers attended a congressional reception this year honoring the Rev. Sun Myung Moon where Moon declared himself the Messiah and said his teachings have helped Hitler and Stalin be "reborn as new persons. "

At the March 23 ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., wore white gloves and carried a pillow holding an ornate crown that was placed on Moon's head. The Korean-born businessman and religious leader then delivered a long speech saying he was "sent to Earth ... to save the world's 6 billion people. ... Emperors, kings and presidents ... have declared to all heaven and Earth that Rev. Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity's savior, messiah, returning lord and true parent."

President Bush has, in the past, accepted substantial fees for speaking engagements from Moon’s controversial Unification Church that range in estimates from $1 million to $10 million.

Moon, 85, who served a 13-month sentence for a 1982 federal tax evasion charge, now heads a mysterious Asian-based billion-dollar empire (finances are never disclosed) that includes several right-wing foundations and publications, including The Washington Times newspaper, which is well known for bashing programs or polices seen as advantageous to or beneficial for African Americans. Journalism critics have referred to it (along with FOX Cable News) as a “right-wing propaganda organ” that trounces so-called liberal causes. The newspaper robustly endorsed Republican presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and both President Bushes. Its pages have been used as a Republican weapon in congressional battles and election campaigns. The paper has never posted a profit and reportedly costs Moon some $100 million a year.
