Justice Sunday Racists-We Must Find A Way to Get This Info to MSM
Justice Sunday Preachers
by Max Blumenthal


S enate majority leader Bill Frist appeared through a telecast as a speaker at "Justice Sunday," at the invitation of the event's main sponsor, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins. "Justice Sunday" was promoted as a rally to portray Democrats as being "against people of faith." Many of the speakers compared the plight of conservative Christians to the civil rights movement. But in sharing the stage with Perkins, who introduced him to the rally, Frist was associating himself with someone who has longstanding ties to racist organizations.

Four years ago, Perkins addressed the Louisiana chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), America's premier white supremacist organization, the successor to the White Citizens Councils, which battled integration in the South. In 1996 Perkins paid former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke $82,000 for his mailing list. At the time, Perkins was the campaign manager for a right-wing Republican candidate for the US Senate in Louisiana. The Federal Election Commission fined the campaign Perkins ran $3,000 for attempting to hide the money paid to Duke.

As the emcee of Justice Sunday, Tony Perkins positioned himself beside a black preacher and a Catholic "civil rights" activist as he rattled off the phone numbers of senators wavering on President Bush's judicial nominees. The evening's speakers studiously couched their appeals on behalf of Bush's stalled judges in the vocabulary of victimhood, accusing Democratic senators of "filibustering people of faith."

7. Why am I not surprised?
These people are well-practiced in the politics of hate, and they're preaching to the same dumbass choir they've been whipping into a foaming frenzy all along. If these people succeed in stacking the SCOTUS with dominionist freaks, I'm moving to Mexico.

11. I like to call it "Tax-Exempt Sunday"...
Edited on Wed Apr-27-05 10:11 AM by ClassWarrior
...just so these snakes remember who's paying the bills in their fine houses of worship.

(By the way, please don't call the whores the "MSM." There's NOTHING "mainstream" about the Corporate Media's agenda of greed and manipulation.)

12. Perkins is lunatic and politically ambitious
we need to watch that one. Fortunately, he is also an idiot, but so is dubya and it didn't stop him. Here Perkins blames Abu Ghraib on MTV.
http://www.au.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=6651&abbr=pr&security
"In a May 12 e-mail to supporters, FRC President Tony Perkins observed, "As Chuck Colson pointed out at yesterday's Pastors' Briefing, when you mix young people who grew up on a steady diet of MTV and pornography with a prison environment, you get the abuse at Abu Ghraib."

13. Of course! And they're both probably
members of the Bohemian Grove, Freemasonry, Illuminati, and all that good fun stuff :sarcasm: that looks exactly like offshoots of that racist Ku Klux Klan shit to me.

15. ALL together now: ONWARD FRISTIAN SOLDIERS:.....
another DU-er coined the Fristians: THANKS AND GREAT IDEA:

I've run with it here after consulting with my Broadman Hymnal:

copy and use as u see fit:

dedicated to waltzing Karl Rove (waltzing with WHO you might ask) who reportedly hums this whilst cheating, lying, and manipulating his way through his White House chores:


Onward Fristian Soldiers

Onward Fristian Soldiers
Marching as to war
as resourcese dwindle
and there are no more

Frist, the royal master
leads agains the foe
forward into battle
armor-less we go

ALL together now on the chorus:

Onward Fristian soldiers
Marching as to war
the wealthy pay no taxes
banking is off-shore

16. Sounds more like Injustice Sunday.

Re: "Many of the speakers compared the plight of conservative Christians to the civil rights movement."

This is utter nonsense. Can anybody name even ONE right that Democrats (or anyone else) want to take away from conservative Christians? Can anyone name even one right that we're trying to prevent conservative Christians from having? NO!

It's the conservative Christians who are trying to prevent others from having the same rights they have, like the right to marry the person of their choice.

Black is white, up is down, right is wrong, good is evil.

God save us from these people!!!

20. Why yes!
They've been deprived of the right

to compel schoolkids to pray to a God and a Jesus of their understanding.

to conduct religious worship on public property.

to post the tenets of their faith in courthouses.

to conduct religious worship at taxpayer expense.

The grievances just go on and on.

17. Woody Jenkins (the right-wing candidate) PROFITS from adoption
Anti-choice means big bucks to Woody. He owns a private "home for unwed mothers" just far enough outside New Orleans (River Ridge, if memory serves) that the women can't catch buses in order to leave. They are stuck there until they deliver babies that Woody sells, um, er, I mean "places privately" for thousands apiece. He is a slimeball even by the standards of the Fristian Right. :grr:

And to think I thought he'd been consigned to the ash heap of history. That's the problem with these fascists. They keep coming back at you and back at you until you scream, "The stake, Dr. Van Helsing! The stake!"

18. UGH!
:puke:Sick fuck!

Selling babies for big bucks!:mad: No wonder people like this want women as breeding cows!

So does Woody offer these unwed mothers the choice of abortion?:sarcasm:

Too bad that guy isn't in California, I'd send a couple news reporters to his door and expose his ass.:grr:

21. Isn't that the way it works
They wrap themselves in God and sing the "We are SO
persecuted" song.  It is O.K. for them to be racist,
misogynistic, or just plain mean.  But if someone does
anything they don't like they are the first to brand them as
anti-Christian.  This is a perfect example of the pharisees
eating with the money changers.  "Do as we say, not as we
do."
