Via Swing State Project (link to SSP if you are cross posting, not MyDD). After repeatedly denying it ever happened, Curt Weldon finally admitted that he attended, spoke at and organized an event that declared Sun Myung Moon to be "humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."
Really:
Weldon spoke at the
coronation of
Sun Myung Moon "as humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent", on March 23, 2004. His office originally vehemently denied his attendance, then when he was revealed to be a co-chair organizer of the event[3] claimed that he had intended to attend but could not because of a scheduling conflict; then when a photo surfaced of him speaking at the event while standing next to a lifesize photo of him pinning a
Unification Church medal on
Moammar Al Qadhafi, stated that he had left immediately after the speech and had no knowledge of what else went on.
Here the photo of Weldon rewarding Qadhafi:
And remember, just yesterday
Weldon lashed out at Admiral Joe Sestak's cancer stricken, four year old daughter.
Curt Weldon is insane--and I'm not even going into the Able Danger stuff here, or the nepotism surrounding his daughter's consulting firm, or who knows what else. And oh yeah, Curt Weldon also occupies the PA-07, which is the 8th most Democratic district held by a Republican, with a partisan voting index of +3.6 Dem. In fact, this is district is so Democratic, that in 2005, Weldon's opponent, Paul Scholes, scored over 41% of the vote here despite only $25K raised and 90 days to campaign. Sestak, who has more money than Weldon, is going to receive 41%+ by default, and that is assuming that 2006 is just as Republican as 2004. This district is actually more Democratic than either the PA-06 or the PA-08.
Weldon has to go down. Back in the late 1990's, I lived in that district for almost a year. Just thinking about that gives me the creeps.
