Moonies founder 'hurt in crash'

The founder of the controversial Unification Church, better known as the Moonies, has been hurt in a helicopter crash in South Korea, reports say.

Rev Sun Myung Moon, 88, was among several people on the aircraft when it made an emergency landing at Gapyeong, 40km (25 miles) east of Seoul.

News agencies quoted officials as saying Rev Moon's injuries were slight.

The casualties were taken to Cheongshim Hospital, which is owned by the Church, Yonhap news agency reported.

A police spokesman said that the helicopter had been carrying Rev Moon, his wife Han Hak-Ja, 11 relatives and three crew members when it ran into difficulties in heavy rain and came down on a hillside at Gapyeong, AFP news agency reported.

8. Rev Moon knows a LOT about Poppy Bush and NAZIs and stuff.

The love goes back a ways.



It'd be terrible not to get Dear Father's testimony.

Know your BFEE: Rev. Sun Myung Moon OWNS Poppy Bush

10. Amazing how all the scum are attracted to one another

Moon and Nixon. Moon and the Bushes.

11. Just look at this two....

dolts that is. This is a nice catch - any pictures of McCain with this or other similar idiots?

14. McCain advisor Charlie Black helped "crown" Sun Myung Moon

I haven't found a picture of McCain and Moon but ...

http://markcrispinmiller.blogspot.com/2008/05/charlie-black-helped-crown-sun-myung.html

A bizarre Capitol Hill ceremony a few years ago in which the eccentric conservative publisher the Rev. Sun Myung Moon declared himself the Second Coming was organized with help from a senior adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign.

Charlie Black, a Washington lobbyist and McCain confidant, lent his name to the coronation ceremony and invited a few friends, according to newly disclosed e-mails.

"What is clear from this email is that top Mccain advisor Charlie Black is admitting that he helped plan, and would have attended, an event where a convicted tax fraud would have been crowned King Of America and declared himself the Messiah--all on U.S. Government federal property (on March 23, 2004)," writes author Cliff Schecter, who published the e-mails on his blog yesterday.

20. I wonder if the American public would be interested in knowing this.

Imagine if Obama or one of his staffers participated in something like this.

[BearSquirrel2]

24. Never really covered ...

It was outrageous and there were tons of congressman there. It was NEVER covered in the news, nor is reverend Moon and his empire of graft.

[ryanmuegge]

27. Exactly. That's what I meant. There's no media coverage.

This is some weird stuff. Far weirder than Rev. Wright, I would argue.

[BearSquirrel2]

33. Not even on the same scale ...

That Rev Wright thing isn't remotely on the same scale as the Mooney Coronation.

9. Someone should give him Flowers.

13. "Missed it by *THIS much* " - God

eom

15. Don't forget to celebrate True Parents Day, 27 July, a national holiday passed by Repugs and signed

into law by Bill Clinton, 1994.

16. When he does finally die, will we be told that he arose on the third day

And ascended bodily to heaven? Or something along those lines?

That would conflict with an enormous funeral, attended by various top politicians.

[ryanmuegge]

21. Why doesn't he just heal himself? Doesn't he claim to have divine powers or something?

[tomg]

22. And I did so want to go to a dance. nt

[xchrom]

25. this was almost good news. nt

[Pastiche423]

26. That poor...

helicopter.

31. "Every Dog has its Day"

That's the irony of those always seeking wealth and power over others. They end up being nothing more than fertilizer or ash. But man, the damage they do in their obsessions for stature and greed. All motivated by fear, and insecurities only the sickest truly would understand.

[mitchum]

32. Hurry up and die, you bloodsucking motherfucker

[dysfunctional press]

34. i don't suppose he was hurt all that badly, seeing as he's god the messiah and all...

35. Sorry to hear this.

I used to teach public school in a neighborhood where there were many followers of Rev Sun Myung Moon. They are very nice people and their children are well-behaved, well-adjusted, morally strong and smart students. These kids helped the other children who were having trouble. Having a class-full of these children would be Peace-on-Earth. The Unification Church must be doing something right.
