Pat Robertson outs himself as racist

...guess who just admitted to not only being a racist, but also managing to combine two of the nastiest urban legends in the dominionist community?

Yup. It's Pat(tm)!

JewsOnFirst (which is becoming a *wonderful* resource in fighting dominionism, as good as DefCon America in some ways) has posted the following article in which Pat Robertson manages to combine two common dominionist urban legends for purposes of demonising Americans United.

The first--which has been promoted increasingly heavily over the past few years--is the idea that abortion was developed as a method of "backdoor" genocide of African-Americans. (There are in fact entire sites that are dedicated to this, and it's a major way in which dominionism is infiltrating the African-American community.)

The second--and possibly more pernicious--urban legend has to do with claims that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Communist. (These claims originally started during the 1960s, have been traced specifically to J. Edgar Hoover (who wished to take advantage of the Red Scare to demonise King), and are today promoted by such charming groups as the neo-Nazi website Stormfront. Of interesting note, the *other* major group that has persistently claimed Martin Luther King Jr. was a Red is none other than the dominionists--and there is a considerable amount of overlap. (None other than Tony Snow, who was tapped to become the press secretary for the White House recently, has verifiable connections to the racist Stormfront--to say nothing of dominionists who are members of the Constitution Party.)

Pat, in typical Pat Style, has combined the two urban legends in what sounds like a game of Illuminati as follows:

a) The ACLU and the International Communist Conspiracy, controlling Planned Parenthood and Americans United, use Martin Luther King Jr. to play the "First Thing We Do, Let's Abort All The Black Babies" card against the True Believers.

Media Matters also has documented this bizarre combination of urban legends.
