Washington State Dems Accept Money From Racist Cult Leader
Above is picture of Ramtha the 35,000 warrior spirit, err, I mean J.Z. Knight, the cult leader, with FLOTUS.
Democrats already knew about the remarks but still took the money, thinking everyone had forgotten.
Via Watchdog Wire:
Apparently J.Z. Knight has lost her taint — or at least her money has.
Two years after the Washington State Democratic Party was shamed into declining a $70,000 donation from the Yelm-based cult leader, the Thurston County Democratic Central Committee has accepted a pair of donations amounting to almost as much.
According to the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission’s website, Knight made a $50,000 contribution on Feb. 25 and donated another $15,000 on March 24.
The Thurston County Democratic Party did not respond to a phone message from the Olympia Report about the story, but in a follow-up story in the NW Daily Marker, Thurston County Democratic Party Chair Roger Erskine said the Central Committee is not considering refunding the contributions and characterized the statements made by Knight as “alleged.”
Erskine said the decision to accept Knight’s contributions was made by unanimous vote at a recent committee meeting and the decision was based on the board’s having “verified that Knight was a Democrat in good standing who supports all parts of the party platform.”
Up until 2012, Knight had been a reliable donor to Democratic causes in Washington state. But party leaders were mortified when the Olympia-based Freedom Foundation made public a series of videos on which Knight launched into profanity-laced tirade against Jews, Catholics, gays and Mexicans.

New Two-Minute Unedited Video Shows Big-Dollar Democratic Donor J.Z. Knight Making More Slurs Against Catholics and Mexicans
by Bryan Myrick October 26, 2012
“Mexicans are not worthy of conscious thought,” says Washington state-based ‘spirit’ leader
In a story that is still unfolding, State Democrats in Washington continue to resist calls to return more than $66,000 in donations received from Yelm-based “mystic” J.Z. Knight after videos of tirades peppered with hate speech directed at Catholics, Jews and gays became public earlier this week.
[NW Daily Marker's two prior articles documenting $66,300 in donations to State Democrats and $60,800 to the Democratic National Committee and Pres. Barack Obama's re-election campaign can be read here and here.] Knight’s attorneys and Democrats in Washington state have claimed the videos previously released are heavily-edited and show Knight’s statements out of context. An almost two-minute unedited video clip released Friday that contains new slurs against Catholics and Mexicans may silence Knight’s apologists.
“The invasion of the Mexicans who just breed like rabbits [audience laughter], they are poison,” Knight says in the video that was taken in March 2011 by now-former students of her Ramtha School of Enlightment.
“I’m telling you this, every G—damn Mexican family is a Catholic — [more laughter] they’re breeding like f—ing rabbits,” she continues.
“All Mexicans are not worthy of conscious thought.”
“San Francisco is beating off the Catholics from down below,” Knight concludes before her words become incoherent and the clip ends.
The video is embedded here with a stern warning that the content is unedited and the graphic language used by Knight has not been bleeped.

The sounds of consenting approval for Knight’s comments among her flock are enough to make one wonder if this is more than just idle bigoted ‘tough talk.’
Another video surfacing Friday shows Knight making the wild statement “all gay men were once Catholic women.” That video can be viewed here.
I do not believe for a moment that State Democratic Party Chairman Dwight Pelz agrees with any of the offensive and hateful statements made by Knight in these or other videos. He has said so, albeit only through proxies in his office.
It boils down to a painfully simple reality: Knight has been repeatedly shown in these videos to espouse racist, bigoted views, Democrats have taken her money, and now that they are aware of the hate she’s preaching they’re not giving it back.
Knight’s money is directly and indirectly funding Democratic candidates who must represent all of the citizens but how can that occur when they are being funded, at least in part, by someone who expresses extreme hatred for so many of them?
For now, the question of whether the money will be returned is settled: they’re keeping it. The question of how this might affect minority and Catholic voters in this election remains to be seen.

“F— you, you Catholics!” Knight bellows over cheers from her audience.
“We will come on you in a terror,” Knight growls in another cut. “We will bring… St. Peter’s temple down and we will swallow it in the sea.” (“St. Peter’s temple” is a reference to the Catholic church itself.)

Reminds me that Jim Jones and Fred Phelps of the Westboro church were Democratic donors too. |
