Long-Standing Hatred
Feb. 14th, 2007 02:28 amUPDATE: The links listed as disabled in my previous post about the Catholic League's tax code violation are all working again.
Melissa McEwen has now also left the Edwards campaign.
Several other blogs have brought up the tax code violation, most notably Phoenix Woman at Mercury Rising, who also included the necessary info on reporting it HERE. She has pretty much the same information as I did in my post, but adds the Catholic League's Employee ID number - and every bit of info you have on the form helps: 23-7279981.
Please note, if you are bothering to fill out the form, that several of the other sites make the error of saying the League is in "violation" of FS-2006-17. This is wrong - FS-2006-17 is an IRS factsheet (as the name indicates, the 17th FS they put out in 2006) which you can still see HERE. The actual section of the tax code violated is still HERE, with the less-catchy name "TITLE 26, Subtitle F, CHAPTER 76, Subchapter A, Sec. 7409 (a)(2)(i)."
Yeah, of course the real code couldn't possibly have as simple a name as FS-2006-17 . . .
Not sure why I feel so strongly about encouraging as many people as I can to try and take down this S.O.B. Donohue and his supposedly Christian bunch of bigots. Maybe it's my particular concerns about separation of church and state.
Maybe it's because - as only just occurred to me - I've been angry at this man Donohue for almost 20 years now, since he first came to prominence with his protests over Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ in 1988. I remember walking past his people outside the Ziegfield at the first show on opening day, as they marched with signs and shouted at those of us going in the theatre - some wag at the front of the ticket-holder line started singing "Onward Christian Soldiers," and it was taken up by all of us in the line as we walked into the theatre, the sold-out house easily drowning out the smallish (at that point) group of protesters. Yeah, there were more of them later, when the TV cameras were showing up.
At some point in his Last Temptation protests, as I recall, Donohue wound up marching around Universal Studios in L.A., dressed as Christ, hauling a cross, and being mock-beaten by a pair of stereotypical "Jews" with signs around their necks identifying them as MCA/Universal executives Lew Wasserman and Sid Sheinberg.
Uh, yeah. If you had told me then that anyone would possibly be taking any of this clown's public statements seriously in twenty years, I would have laughed and laughed and laughed.
I'm not laughing anymore.
And have a happy V-Day, yourself. Papoon for President, compadres.
