The Right and Hate/Violence
The American Family Association of Michigan has said they want to repeal the state's hate
crime law. This law is the only tool in Michigan to address tougher
penalties for hate violence against women, and racial and religious
minorities. Over 40 states have hate crime laws and they enjoy high
levels of public support. The AFA's effort to repeal hate crime laws
should concern everyone. Why would they want to remove the
protections that African-Americans, Jews and others have worked so
hard to obtain?
http://www.afaexposed.comThe AFA also argues that hate is a good thing and that God condones it
against homosexuals. "...Hate is an absolutely necessary family value
for the traditional American family. Without the value of hate, one
could not differentiate between good and evil, to love what is good
and hate what is evil."
http://www.afaexposed.comThe National Coalition Against TV Violence gave the Christian Broadcasting Network a high violence quotient, saying that CBN had 12 programs with an average of 34 violent acts
per hour.

"It is interesting, that termites don't build things, and the great builders of
our nation almost to a man have been Christians, because Christians have the
desire to build something. He is motivated by love of man and God, so he
builds. The people who have come into
institutions are primarily
termites. They are into destroying institutions that have been built by
Christians, whether it is universities, governments, our own traditions, that
we have.... The termites are in charge now, and that is not the way it ought to
be, and the time has arrived for a godly fumigation." - Pat Robertson

The Right and Race
According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, in 1984 John Ashcroft called the
St. Louis desegregation plan an "outrage against human decency." In his
gubernatorial campaign that year, he widely advertised his fight against
desegregation, claiming he had done "everything in his power legally" to fight
the plan, and backed up that fact by telling reporters to just ask the
judge "who threatened me with contempt."

In 1987, U.S. District Judge Russell Clark ordered a tax increase to "remedy
vestiges of segregation" in the Kansas City school system. John Ashcroft, who was
Missouri governor at the time, called the ruling "appalling judicial activism".
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/01/23/politics/main266330.shtml
Attorney General-designate John Ashcroft complained in a 1997 lecture
of "judicial tyranny" by judges who ruled in favor of school desegregation.
Also from http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/01/23/politics/main266330.shtml
John Ashcroft has spoken at Bob Jones University which until recently has
denied admission to people who are in an interracial relationship.

Morton Blackwell has trained supporters of Inkatha chief Buthelezi in South
Africa. It was Buthelezi's group that later attempted to create civil war in
South Africa to keep apartheid policies in place. Inkatha worked with pro-
apartheid and neo-nazi groups to stop the elections eventually won by Nelson
Mandela.

In February of 2001, ten black employees filed a racial discrimination
suit against the organization. Alleging that they were treated with Jim Crow-
style segregationist rules, the black employees also stated in their lawsuit
that the Christian Coalition’s director was "uncomfortable" when the black
employees joined company-sponsored prayer sessions and eventually stopped
inviting them. In March, two more black employees and a white employee filed
discrimination charges against the organization. The white employee claims he
was fired by the evangelical organization when he refused the director’s
request to spy on the black employees who had filed the lawsuit.

Coors's image was further tarnished as a result of a 1984 William
Coors speech to a Denver, Colorado minority business group, in which he
reportedly told a largely African American audience that "one of the best
things they did for you is to drag your ancestors over here in
chains." Later in the speech, he asserted that weakness in the Zimbabwe economy
was due to black Africans' "ack of intellectual capacity -- that has got to
be there."
http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=2064
The Coors company was found guilty of racial discrimination by the Colorado
Civil Rights Commission for their 1969 firing of a black employee.

The Coors family has supported a number of groups which work to continue the
racist divisions in the U.S., as well as outright racist groups, such as the
Patriotic American Youth Group. This group's decidedly racist publications have
included on the masthead active participants in groups such as the Citizen's
Councils and the KKK.
http://www.politicalamazon.com/fcf.html
The Coors family has long-standing ties to the Conservative Caucus, a group
that is "...not truly conservative but is among the most radical of the
reactionary groups in the U.S." Coors family members were on the Conservative
Caucus' Executive Advisory Board, and Weyrich worked with the Coors family,
Richard Viguerie, and others on Conservative Caucus projects. The Conservative
Caucus, founded in 1974 and led by Howard Phillips, has supported the efforts
of pro-apartheid South African elements. Indeed, "Phillips has recently quoted
favorably the head of South Africa's openly white-supremacist Conservative
Party." The Conservative Caucus has actively supported the UNITA operation, and
tried to convince the UNITA leader to come to the U.S. to lobby for funding.
Phillips lobbied the Bush administration and Capitol Hill for UNITA support. In
addition, the Conservative Caucus has taken out newspaper ads to put a more
positive spin on the documented UNITA's human rights abuses. Another
Conservative Caucus board member was Richard Shoff, whose company's (Lincoln
Log Homes) business practices have gotten him into lots of legal trouble. Shoff
was also on the board of Coalition for Freedom, a Jesse Helms group that is
funded by the Pioneer Fund.

The Heritage Foundation has associated itself with known racist
groups, and at least one very prominent, avid racist (Roger Pearson). Indeed,
one of Heritage's former chairs, Ben Blackburn, was an advocate in the 1970s of
literacy tests to limit voting rights.

Bill Lind of the Center for Cultural Conservatism in the Free Congress
Foundation (FCF) met with Neo-Nazis
and Holocaust Deniers and blamed Jewish people for the "crime" of Political
Correctness.

James McClellan, who ran the Center for Judicial Studies and
participated in FCF conferences, was a top associate of racist Roger Pearson.
McClellan also was one of the key operatives working with the Reagan Justice
Department to dismantle civil rights protections in the mid-1980s.
http://politicalamazon.com/fcf.html
Pat Robertson has used his position to oppose civil rights legislation,
such as the 1988 Civil Rights Restoration Action and the 1991 Civil Rights Act.
He termed the Civil Rights Act of 1985 "one of the most frightening pieces of
legislation that has been brought up."
Robertson has frequently slurred prominent African-Americans in the Clinton
administration, for instance terming Clinton’s nominee as assistant attorney
general for civil rights, Lani Guinier a "quota queen"; a derogatory reference
to the quota system designed to ensure fair representation of minorities in
employment.
Like many other conservative Christians, Robertson had a soft spot for
apartheid in South Africa. At the height of the apartheid era, he was one of
its chief apologists in Christian circles. "I've been to South Africa," he
said. "I know we don't like apartheid, but the blacks in South Africa, in
Soweto, don't have it all that bad." During the 18th March, 1992 screening of
his 700 Club, he said, "Again, I think 'one man one vote,' just unrestricted
democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the
minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and
have a right to demand a protection of their rights."

Richard Schoff is a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan.
Schoff is also a funder and leader of The Conservative Caucus, the foremost US
supporter of South Africa's pro-apartheid regimes.

Paul Weyrich in his book, The New Right Papers, opposed Government
efforts to end Segregation.
http://politicalamazon.com/fcf.html
Paul Weyrich and Richard Viguerie also joined forces with the American
Independent Party which has Racist elements in it.

"Christ was crucified by the Jews who had wanted a temporal ruler to rescue
them from the oppressive Roman authorities. Instead God sent them a spiritual
leader to rescue them from their sins.... He was not what the Jews had expected
so they considered Him a threat. Thus He was put to death."
-- Paul Weyrich, repeating the "Jews killed Christ" libel which has fanned the
flames of Christian anti-Semitism from Constantine through Hitler
http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/quotes/scar_u.htm#WEYRICHPAUL
Don Wildmon, founder and President of the American Family Association (AFA), is
widely considered
anti-Semitic because of anti-Jewish comments he has made. Wildmon has
been clear that he blames Jews for virtually all the "anti-Christian"
material on TV and in movies and he has done everything shy of call
it a conspiracy. (Freedom Writer, June, July, August 89 and May 94)
http://www.afaexposed.com
A representative of the Florida chapter of the AFA told a Senate
committee, that was voting on a school prayer issue, that Jews who
opposed the issue should find better things to fight over. He
said, "If that same group of people worked as hard keeping drugs out
of school as keeping prayer out of school, we would have a much
different behavior at schools." (Palm Beach Post 4/27/95, School-
prayer spat disrupts committee)
