How do they look themselves in the mirror?

Since the beginning of this blog I've been compiling a series called Conservatives Treat Their Constituents Like Suckers. If you've liked those posts, you'll really love this story.

Check out this seething letter from Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association, son of its grifter-preacher founder Don Wildmon, to Morningstar.com a financial services information site. Read it: Morningstar is discriminating against Christians—disgusting!

We have learned that our friends at Faith Financial Planners were denied a paid advertisement on the website of Morningstar unless they removed the “Christian” content from their advertisement. Morningstar — one of the largest providers of financial information on mutual funds, stocks, and portfolios for individual investors and institutions in the world — told Faith Financial that the company had to “change the message completely and eliminate the Christian undertones.” This is a clear example of bigotry just because Faith Financial represents a Christian message about values and investing. Faith Financial is a company that, through one of its subsidiaries, provides information for Christians to use in reflecting their values in their investments. The information alerts values-based investors to those companies that are involved in pornography, abortion, the homosexual agenda, etc.

Here's the punchline. This company that "represents a Christian message about values in investing" apparently had their ad rejected because the book being advertised as a free premium with the taglines “Achieving a double bottom line on your investment — financial and moral!” and "Money on loan from God" seemed to the ad rep to be out and out snake oil. As far as I can tell, the words Tim Wildmon put in quotation marks were made up by Tim Wildmon.

May God have mercy on his soul
