[Peace-discuss] tactical alliances

[Morton K.Brussel]

A quote from article cited by Carl  
[http://www.publiceye.org/rightwoo/rwooz9-22.html] to answer your  
question. Note, "tactical" refers to his Moonie associations:

At the same time,  Bevel was working with Moon's front group CAUSA. In  
an interview with  Bevel at an Illinois CAUSA meeting, I asked him why  
he would ally himself  with a religious/political movement such as that  
run by Rev. Moon. Bevel  replied that it was a tactical coalition based  
on agreement that the  main danger in the world was communism. Bevel  
argued that communism was  a godless philosophy, and that as a  
Christian, it was his obligation  to fight godlessness.

As a non-Christian, and an atheist moreover, this is more than  
bothersome.

Another notation, at  
http://www.gorenfeld.net/blog/2004/04/martin-luther-kings-advisor-is- 
now.html

Members of the American Freedom Coalition like civil-rights veterans  
Ralph Abernathy and James Bevel have become champions for Moon and his  
followers. Abernathy, for instance, has compared criticisms of Moon to  
injustices suffered by blacks in the United States. Bevel has handed  
out flyers asking "Are the Moonies our new n****s?"

  [...]Bevel was invited to the University of New Mexico by the local  
[Moon college group]."We'll get communism and humanism out of the  
schools," Bevel told the group at the university,"and the n*****s and  
crackers that don't like it can go to Cuba or somewhere." The AFC had  
sponsored Bevel for a talk the previous evening.

Maybe I'm a humanist as well.
