Racists Holding Event at Former Justice Roy Moore鈥檚 Foundation
This coming Saturday, the (FML) in Montgomery, Ala., will be the site of the , featuring speakers tied to the , a neo-Confederate hate group that considers slavery 鈥淕od-ordained鈥 and advocates for 鈥渢he cultural dominance of the Anglo-Celtic people and their institutions.鈥 The Foundation for Moral Law鈥檚 president is defrocked Alabama Chief Supreme Court Justice Judge Roy Moore, who is more commonly known as the 鈥淭en Commandments judge.鈥 In the dead of night on July 31, 2001, Moore placed a 2陆-ton stone monument with the Decalogue carved on it in the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court building, where he then presided. Moore was thrown out of office in 2003 by Alabama鈥檚 Court of the Judiciary after refusing to remove the monument, as he was ordered to do as the result of a brought by the 澳彩开奖.
The event is being organized by , a racist neo-Confederate from Selma who annually holds a birthday party to honor , a wealthy slave trader who became the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Godwin, who often refers in E-mails to her majority-black hometown as 鈥淶imbabwe on de Alabamy,鈥 has lately crusaded to block any acknowledgement on the Capitol grounds of the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery civil rights march. Godwin has railed at 鈥渢he trash that came here in 1965,鈥 complaining that those who honor the civil rights movement 鈥渁re aiding and abetting the ultimate goal of the ONE WORLD ORDER 鈥 to BROWN AmeriKa and annihilate Anglo-Celtic-European culture!鈥
The event Godwin is advertising features quite a lineup of extremists. , a charter member of the League of the South, will be speaking. Sanders is a radical tax protester who writes on his website how state tax officials in Arkansas, where he was living at the time, found him liable for $30,000 in unpaid sales taxes, causing him to flee to Tennessee. In Tennessee, he ran afoul of both federal and state tax officials and eventually served time on state charges. He鈥檚 also a novelist. In 1989, Sanders published Heiland, a novel whose title means 鈥渟avior鈥 in German. In it, America is divided into two: the 鈥淚nsiders鈥 are the urban, pro-federal government population, while the 鈥淔reemen鈥 are rural folks who refuse to pay taxes and live happily off the land. In the end, the Freemen realize they cannot live with the Insiders and decide to establish 鈥渢he rule of Immanuel鈥 by, in part, destroying Nashville with a laser freeze ray.
Another league favorite, John Eidsmoe, is on the bill. Eidsmoe is a former law school professor and close friend and one-time legal adviser to Roy Moore. A theocrat, Eidsmoe has suggested that the government 鈥渕ay not act contrary to God鈥檚 laws.鈥 In 2005, Eidsmoe spoke to the national conference of the , a hate group that routinely denigrates blacks as 鈥済enetically inferior,鈥 complains about 鈥淛ewish power brokers,鈥 calls homosexuals 鈥減erverted sodomites,鈥 accuses immigrants of turning America into a 鈥渟limy brown mass of glop,鈥 and named Lester Maddox, the now-deceased, ax handle-wielding, arch-segregationist former governor of Georgia, 鈥淧atriot of the Century.鈥
Chuck Baldwin, a Pensacola, Fla., pastor and former presidential candidate for the staunchly antigovernment, anti-abortion, anti-gay, and anti-immigrant , will also speak. Baldwin has written that 鈥渢he South was right in the War Between the States鈥 and that Martin Luther King Jr. 鈥渂rought havoc and unrest to America as few men have ever done.鈥 Baldwin also asserted during a campaign appearance that Sept. 11 could have been an inside job and vowed, if elected, to appoint an independent committee to uncover the truth. In recent months, Baldwin has been of President Obama鈥檚 supposed plans to return 200,000 troops from other countries to the U. S. Northern Command in preparation for an imminent civil war at home.
Godwin鈥檚 E-Mail says that the event is a 鈥淕RASSROOTS event & is NOT sponsored by the Foundation for Moral Law,鈥 but she adds that 鈥淎ll Proceeds go to Foundation for Moral Law.鈥
UPDATE: Rich Hobson, executive director of the Foundation for Moral Law, told AP on Feb. 19 that Moore was unaware of the event.
