Marxist, Head of US Democrat's Religion Outreach Efforts

"Mara Vanderslice, a 29-year-old Marxist who runs in anti-Catholic

circles, is chosen by the DNC (Democratic National Commitee) to be

their religious outreach person...... Now, I think that there`s

something in the Democratic Party. There`s an absolute animus, an

hostility to people who hold religion seriously."

WILLIAM DONAHUE, PRESIDENT, CATHOLIC LEAGUE

 

"...Who elevated these celebrities and made them into heroes? Did

you see Bush taking Eminem out on his campaign trail? Do you see

him running around with Bruce Springsteen or Whoopi Goldberg?

The Democrats have held these people before our kids and said, they

are king makers, not just court jesters, but king makers. It was

degrading for John Kerry to be seen with Ben Affleck, a miscreant

loser who treats women like garbage, the day after his Democratic

Convention as a king maker. Vote for me because of Ben Affleck.

This is degrading. It pulled the whole Democratic Party down. It`s

shows they`re not serious people.

 

"We`re tired of Bill Clinton overlooking the genocide of Rwanda and

333 blacks killed every minute for three months, 800,000 dead.

Didn`t even meet with his senior staff through all that time. We`re

tired of them." RABBI SHMULEY BOTEACH

SCARBOROUGH:What did you make of the elections? Do you think it was

a rejection of a cultural decay?

 

WILLIAM DONAHUE, PRESIDENT, CATHOLIC LEAGUE: It certainly was a

rejection. It was a rejection of the cultural elite. This has been

a bad year for them.

 

First, they got their butt kicked when they tried to censor the

movie by Mel Gibson "The Passion of the Christ." Then they lost

here again. They lost in Florida with parental control on

abortion. They lost in 11 states on the question of two men getting

married, one of the most bizarre ideas ever entertained by any

person in the history of the world.

 

They also lost on civil unions. Outside of stem cell research, they

lost on virtually everything. No, I think the message has been

received in part. I say in part because if you listen to what`s

going on, on the part of some of these people, it`s clear that some

of them belong in the asylum. They don`t really get it. I think we

need to bring out the straitjackets, because these elites somehow

think that we`re the problem, that we`re the Neanderthals.

 

I`ll just give you something very quickly, what happened. Two years

ago, the Catholic League would try to be even to Republicans and

Democrats. I`ve gone after Republicans before, including this

year. Two years ago, we found out that Catholics For Free Choice,

the nation`s largest anti-Catholic organization, is in bed with the

Democrats. They have a link on the Democratic National Committee

Web site.

 

We spent over $100,000 to get the DNC to stop having this link.

Finally in April, they redid their Web site. I thought everything

was fine. Then we found out that Mara Vanderslice, a 29-year-old

Marxist who runs in anti-Catholic circles, is chosen by the DNC to

be their religious outreach person. We exposed her. So what did

they do? They muzzled her. She wasn`t allowed to speak to the

press.

 

Then we found out two months later that Brenda Bartella Peterson, a

clergy member, a Protestant minister, had gone into the Supreme

Court to get the words "under God" banned from the Pledge of

Allegiance. We exposed her, and three days later, she caved.

 

Now, I think that there`s something in the Democratic Party.

There`s an absolute animus, an hostility to people who hold religion

seriously. Either that or they were delirious, in which case, you

have got to get the straitjackets. Put them in the asylum.

 

SCARBOROUGH: Rabbi, let me—we`ve been talking about evangelical

Christians. Bill Donahue obviously a Catholic. But this isn`t just

about being a Christian, is it? I mean, it goes beyond that.

 

RABBI SHMULEY BOTEACH, SPIRITUAL ADVISER: No, not at all. It`s a

universal question of faith.

 

But let`s be honest. And without giving offense, Robert Reich is

being totally disingenuous when he blames the corporations, rather

than the Democrats, for the smut in the culture. Who elevated these

celebrities and made them into heroes? Did you see Bush taking

Eminem out on his campaign trail? Do you see him running around

with Bruce Springsteen or Whoopi Goldberg?

 

The Democrats have held these people before our kids and said, they

are king makers, not just court jesters, but king makers. It was

degrading for John Kerry to be seen with Ben Affleck, a miscreant

loser who treats women like garbage, the day after his Democratic

Convention as a king maker. Vote for me because of Ben Affleck.

This is degrading. It pulled the whole Democratic Party down. It`s

shows they`re not serious people.

 

Then we have the whole issue of a moral focus, Joe, in foreign

policy. Guys like me are sick and tired of the Democratic Party

being apologists for tyrants. What do you mean it was the wrong

war? Wrong for who, the 300,000 Kurds that were gassed to death,

the 800,000 Arabs who were slaughtered? Do you know how they felt

when they heard this stuff?

 

We`re tired of Bill Clinton overlooking the genocide of Rwanda and

333 blacks killed every minutes for three months, 800,000 dead.

Didn`t even meet with his senior staff through all that time. We`re

tired of them. We`re tired of Jimmy Carter meeting with Kim Il

Sung, Kim Jong Il, with Fidel Castro. There`s no morality there at

all. Human life is precious.

 

Even if we don`t agree on the abortion issue, living people, we

agree on, right? And we see the Democrats always serving as

apologists for these animals......
