Robert Minton, a man noted for his public opposition to the Scientology
Organization, will receive the first Alternative Charlemagne Award in the
Federal Republic of Germany. The ceremony is to take place June 3, two
weeks before U.S. Congressional hearings are scheduled to occur in the
third year of an as yet unresolved decision to ask President Clinton to
convey disapproval to Germany for that country's treatment of Scientology.
The award site is http://www.alt-charlemagne-award.de.

thank you again, your support is much appreciated. I hope the rest

I have no evidence for my allegation, but it appears to me that the
"European-American citizens committee for human rights and religious
freedom in the USA" is as much a front group for anti-cultists as
Narconon is a front group for Scientology. Therefore, the prize is
rather worthless. Imagine Hubbard having received a prize from
Narconon for his discoveries on drug addiction - everybody would
start pointing out that this doesn't mean anything. The same seems
to hold true for this "prize".

Actually he *did*. The various editions of "What is Scientology?"
include photos of all the various awards Hubbard received, including
those from his own front groups.

What on earth is an "Alternative Charlemagne"? Is this some sort
of idiomatic expression that loses all meaning when translated?

i cant comment on the committe because i have never heard of it.
maybe someone can give us some info.

i want to mention however that in afl there has been talk of
how in europe werner has been given several i believe awards.
these are some kind of humanitarian awards. i guess it could
be said that if humanitarian organization are giving out
awards to creeps like werner then what comes next.

Along those same lines, you could also argue that there was not all that
much difference between Churchill and Hitler. After all, they were
certainly both supported by front groups from which they each received
numerous awards. In other words, the above analogy does not so much
reflect on the people being compared as it does on a personal readiness
to discredit by association.

No. Please do not redefine the meaning of "front group".
A front group is a group where some people or another organisation is
hiding behind.
This committee *is* the real thing. All names are disclosed.
There is nothing *behind* the committee, but there are more and more
*supporters*, who are also speaking out in their own names and with
their own names or known aliases.(See the list on
http://www.alt-charlemagne-award.de)

HaHa,
in Germany, Scientology tries to run a DA-Campaign against Bob Minton.
They approached different journalists, saying
"Do You know, that the famous good old Alt-Charlemagne-Award-Committee
is trapped by Bob Minton? We give You Information (i.e: the DA-Pack)
that this men is not worthy for the ACMA. So please warn and educate the
ACMA-committee with an article, written with the help of our our
information (= the DA-Pack)"

The supporters are mostly a.r.s. readers, from what I can see. The
"committee" seems to be an outgrowth (I hope you prefer this to
"front group") of the "Berliner Dialog" group (of which Mr. Gandow
is incidentally the leader). I concede that the term "anti-cultists"
may have been a bad choice but I couldn't think of anything better
at that moment.

Well, I don't mind. I just want to put the thing into perspective.

It is the Alternative Charlemagne *Award*. Like the alternative nobel
prize compared to the official nobel prize. There is an official
charlemagne award which goes to Bill Clinton, for his contributions to
human rights. (hahahaha!!!!)

What has Robert S. Minton done to render "distinguished service on
behalf of West European unification, humanity and world peace"?

There is no "alternative nobel prize." There's an Ignobel Prize,
however. I think the "Kid Charlemagne Award" would be a
more appropriate distinction for Minton.

>There is an official

Actually, the Karlspreis is awarded to those who have furthered
Western European unity. It is not presented as a human rights
award. While you might find Clinton's efforts to stop aggression in
Kosovo something to laugh about, not everyone shares your
contemptuous attitude towards ending genocide.

Yes there is. It is donated by a guy named Jacob Üxküll or similar.
However the prize is pretty much mainstream today, and is awarded one
day before the official prize. For example, one prizewinner was an
indian attorney who litigated (successfully) in the european patent
court to prevent a US corporation from patenting the use of the seeds of
the indian nim tree.

In a newspaper a few months ago it was mentioned that he received it for
his contribution to human rights in yugoslavia.

Lets rather say he replaced genocide with collateral damage. And as we
know now, the so-called "master plan" of the serbs was bogus, similar to
the "Najirah" story in the gulf war. This is not to say that there
wasn't genocide, but the story of a "master plan" was bogus.

I mostly agree.
To me, this "Alternative Charlemagne Award" and the committee's name
have a satirical ring. It's the ring of the 60s when there was an
"Alternative Peace Prize" at the International Frankfurt Bookfair,
alternative to the official one awarded by the German Booksellers
Association. Nobody took that alternative freak prize seriously, except
the freaks.

In the case of the Charlemagne thing, the Scientologists seem to be the
freaks to take the award seriously.
So, when they take something seriously, they act seriously - and then
the reaction on them will be serious. They create their own deadly
reality. If this is the outcome of the alternative award - OK.

What on earth is a "Diane Richardson": is it some kind of medical
suppository?? I think that is supposed to parsed as
an " Alternative (Charlemagne-Award) "; an alternative
to the real Charlemagne award, which is presumably given by
governments and large corporations for the things which please
them, this one is given for achievements in 'alternative'
realms i.e. radical campaigning and human rights work.

If you want to be identified (by name, pseudonymously or anonymously) as
someone who supports this award for Bob Minton's actions of the past
couple of years in regards to Scientology, forward to swa...@xenu.net a
name or pseudonym, title or profession, city, country for inclusion with
supporters already listed at http://www.alt-charlemagne-award.de. How
often do you get a chance like this to tell someone that you think they've
done a good job? I'll post a letter similar to this for Odette Jaccard,
too, just using word substitution. It's not cheating if you support them
both ;-)

So the truth is revealed. Bob Minton is a Scn'gy terrorist acting like a
critic of Scn'gy, acting like a Scn'gy terrorist, acting like a critic of
Scn'gy, acting like he's acting......

Is this the war of propaganda?

That is not fully correct.
The committee was established in 1997 as a Lisa Mc Pherson-Ad
Hoc-Committee. See: http://www.alt-charlemagne-award.de/#English

It grew out of a connection between some ARSians and german parents
associations.

The "Berliner Dialog" is not a group or Organization, but (tries to be)
a quarterly Magazin http://www.religio.de/dialog/dialog.html
The Magazin *reported* on the letter of condolence and the committee.
(Sorry, this issue is not online.)

I am not a leader, but only one of three Vize-presidents of the DCI and
"incidentally" I am the editor-in-chief of the Berliner Dialog.
The "Berliner Dialog" is edited by the Dialog Center International
http://www.dci.dk and the Dialog Zentrum Berlin
http://www.dialogzentrum.de

What is true is, that the DCI and the DZB are a supporting part of the
European-American Citizens Committee for Human Rights and Religious
Freedom in the USA http://www.alt-charlemagne-award.de

We support not only the committee, but also the idea, to give a
human-rights award to someone who is defending human rights, freedom of
information and freedom of opinion in the US of America.
You are free to join this committee.

May be that Youare right and it really is a front group: But only in
that sense, that the defense of human rights and dignity puts you in the
frontline between Human dignity and Scientology.

I love the line about this year's biology winner...

"Finally, this year’s biology prize went to Peter Fong of Gettysburg
College, a man who fed Prozac to clams. The treatment seems to make the
mollusks happy—at least happy enough to reproduce. Prozac boosts the
levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, a chemical event that induces
spawning in clams."

Feeding Prozac to clams... I wonder if this is prophetic?

The above statement accusing those who think differently of sympathizing

Sometimes it scares me when I apply expert knowledge of the criminal mind
- that a person with a criminal mind accuses others of what she herself
(in this case) was doing - to what I see on the news group.

There is no need to categorize folks that
are either Scientologists, those that hide being Scientologists,
whores for Scientology, and just run of the mill nutballs.

The results are the same.

Oh come now! "Cult-trained pit bull"? I'll guarantee you've had far
more contact with the Church of Scientology than I've ever had.

I also find it interesting that you clip the comment to which this
was a response. Taking snippets out of context appears to be
your forte ... was this a part of your "cult-training" or did
you learn this little bit of deceit all by yourself?

Well, in your case, you've been a Scientologist, you've been
a whore for Scientology, and you're a certifiable nutball, Arnie.
I guess you fill all your own criteria.

Yep, loonies who come up with outlandish conspiracy tales

Seems to me you at least have a good handle on your own

The only "alternative Nobel Prize" I've ever heard of would be the

I've never heard about any "master plan" at all. Perhaps you honestly
don't believe that what occurred in Bosnia-Herzogovina was was about
to take place in Kosovo. Perhaps you honestly believe it would have
been better to let those people destroy themselves, Tilman. I still

This is Tilman Hausherr's remark which I found offensive (and, I note,
which you chose to snip from your post):

"There is an official
charlemagne award which goes to Bill Clinton, for his contributions to
human rights. (hahahaha!!!!)"

This is my response to Tilman's derisive comment:

"Actually, the Karlspreis is awarded to those who have furthered
Western European unity. It is not presented as a human rights

award. While you might find Clinton's efforts to stop aggression in


Kosovo something to laugh about, not everyone shares your
contemptuous attitude towards ending genocide."

Since then, Tilman Hausherr has expanded on his opinion of
Clinton's activities in prodding Western Europeans into action
against the Serbian aggression in Bosnia-Herzogovina and


Kosovo. Here is what he wrote:

"Lets rather say he replaced genocide with collateral damage. And as
we know now, the so-called "master plan" of the serbs was bogus,
similar to the "Najirah" story in the gulf war. This is not to say
that there wasn't genocide, but the story of a "master plan" was
bogus."

Of course, no one but Tilman mentions any such "master plan," or
appears to consider the absence of any such "master plan" as a
reason for Western Europe to insist that the United States fight
NATO's battles single-handed.

But if you agree with Tilman, Joe, you certainly have a right to
such an opinion. Perhaps you consider the loss of bridges and
power plants as horrendous as genocide, too.

I will not make the mistake to start a long useless discussion with you

Here is the answer:
Bob Minton, steered by his courage and sense of civil duty, has
distinguished himself in human rights in the USA and around the world by
his involvement with the persecuted minority of former Scientology
Organization (SO) members who have been attacked by the SO, and with
U.S. society, which is at risk to the totalitarian influences of the SO.

By our recognition, we wish to show our support for the American people
and to put an end to human rights
violations which are being committed by the Scientology Organization
against citizens of the USA and other
countries.

One mor notion: There is now no West European Unification, but only one
Europe, and severral countries, not only in Western Europe, have
problems with the totalitarian Scientology-Organisation.

Hier is an exerpt of the Official "Urkunde".
http://194.245.36.141/karlspreis2000/urkundentext.htm
It reads like this:
In Würdigung der partnerschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit
mit den europäischen Staaten zur Erweiterung und Vertiefung der Union,
der *Wahrung der Menschenrechte und der Freiheit*,
sowie als Dank der Europäer an das amerikanische Volk für
den Aufbau der Demokratie und des Wohlstandes nach 1945.

The "Aachen Charlemagne Award" was meant to distinguish people who
*promote* democracy, human rights and the common values of Europe.
The prize is bestowed yearly "for the most valuable contribution in the
service of the European Union, and for community work in the service of
humanity and world peace."
Certainly promotion of Scientology is against the will and interest of
all european states, see reports about the Scientology-Problems in
Spain, Italy, France, Germany Russia to mention only a few.

If a foreign government furthers and promotes an organisation in Your
country, which You and Your government and the European Council and the
european Parlament see as conflictous if not criminal and against
constitution is that a valuable contribution in the service of European
Union or mixing in internal affairs?
And even if Scientology was a religion, is promotion of a "religion" by
President and State Department not against Your own Constitution or the
First Amendement?

The award winners of the "Aachner Karlspreis" were intended by the
initiators of the award to be "role models who evoke imitation."

It depends on Your own standpoint and off course on Clintons
credibility, if You respect and distinguish that Clinton as a student
"did not inhale" as he said. May be, that this for some people could be
a "role model, who evokes imitation", not to inhale as a student.

But I will not respect him as a "role model who evokes imitation", if he

Everyone here on the NG ~KNOWS~ the depths that Co$ will sink
to in order to "Black PR" a person who does openly oppose them
and their criminality, fraud, lies, deception, harassment,
intimidation and abuse.

I can see why Clinton would totally support them 100% with his
every breath (inhale).

Can you even ~imagine~ the DA pack that the Co$ would set
loose on Clinton if he openly opposed their illegal actions!!!

It would make all his other enemies and opposition look like
~AMATEURS~, and I bet you he knows this 100%!!

I guess being in bed with the Co$ is more or less a survival
tactic on his part.

I suspect CoS-critics have a wide variety of views on the wisdom
of last year's NATO war in Kosovo. Karin Spaink and I enjoyed debating
the subject when I visited her last year in Amsterdam. Although I
was skeptical at the time, I'm glad that it ended in a NATO victory.
Still, I don't see its relevance to a.r.s.

The Aachen website is kind enough to provide an English translation.
It is from their website that I copied the statement that the
Karlspreis is awarded to individuals who further Western European
unity. Perhaps you might do well to learn a little more about an
award you choose to mock.

No foreign government is furthering and promoting Scientology.

The President and State Department are not promoting Scientology.

Did you really just come up with this bogus "honor" just because
Minton's name rhymes with Clinton's?

I find this whole charade to be a horrifically unsophisticated public
relations effort that reveals just how narrow-minded anticultists can
become. Perhaps you feel Scientology is the greatest threat to
humankind, but you're not going to convince many others of that
with your ersatz "honor."

Thomas Gandow and his gang believe it's *very* relevant. They
believe Bob Minton's activities (including shooting shotguns over
the heads of scientologists and poking at scientologists with picket
signs) is more worthy of recognition than Clinton's efforts to get
Europeans off their butts and acting to stop Serbian aggression.

Thomas Gandow appears to believe that somehow President Clinton
is forcing Scientology down the throats of fellow European citizens.
I find such an accusation ridiculous, but if nothing else it indicates
the narrow-mindedness of some people who dedicate their efforts
towards fighting what they see as "destructive cults."

This bogus "honor" smacks of anti-American hype and an
incredibly poor understanding of what constitutes good public
relations.

I have no more of a problem with that than I have with Bob Minton
telling a St Petersburg Times reporter he was not having a sexual
relationship with Stacy Young just days before he posted an
announcement to a.r.s. that he was going to marry her.

Clinton and Minton may both be liars, but I haven't seen Clinton
announce his plans to marry Monica Lewinsky anywhere, have
you?

And so you believe Robert S. Minton is a worthier role model
than William Jefferson Clinton????

I'm beginning to understand your actions much better now.
Thanks for the clarification.

I see. You think that it is better to have people imitate Robert S.
Minton's actions than William Jefferson Clinton's actions. Thanks
for making your opinion clear on that point.

>But I will not respect him as a "role model who evokes imitation", if he

But you DO believe Minton's actions of shooting off a shotgun
over the heads of scientologists and hitting them with picket
signs are actions worthy of emulation. I didn't realize you
equated such activities with defending human rights. I guess
it must be a cultural thing.

Thank you so much for giving everyone a very clear explanation
of the reasoning behind the development and presentation of
your bogus award. I think the public now has a much better
understanding of where you and your colleagues are coming
from.

I'm never really sure anymore whether it is you (Beverly) writing
or Gerry Armstrong. I'll work on the assumption that Beverly
wrote this message.

>I can see why Clinton would totally support them 100% with his

What makes you think Clinton totally supports (100%) the
Church of Scientology? Has it occurred to you that Clinton
might be totally supporting (100%) the First Amendment of
the United States Constitution instead?

>Can you even ~imagine~ the DA pack that the Co$ would set

Oh, come now, Beverly. If you honestly think the Church of
Scientology can do a better job of DAing President Clinton than
the right-wing loonies have done, you've lost all touch with
reality.

>It would make all his other enemies and opposition look like
>~AMATEURS~, and I bet you he knows this 100%!!

Well, I guess you are delusional, after all. The resources,
talent, and brains used by the right-wing loonies in an effort
to unseat the President make anything OSA might try look
downright amateurish. I think you've gone over the edge
on this one. Have you lost all perspective?

Actually, I'm trying to discern just how much political beliefs have

award was "invented" by German anticultists outraged that the

Clinton was, bewtween blow jobs, doing what the President <spit>

So you don't really care about honoring Bob Minton; you're just giving
him this award because you think Bill Clinton is undeserving of the
Karlspreis.

Besides, Minton has expressed a desire to stick knives where Clinton
stuck cigars. Frankly, I'd rather have a cigar.

More likely by a happenstance alliance between German & American
anticultists and political conservatives outraged at Clinton being
given any sort of award for anything. A substantial portion of the
anti-Scientology critical movement appears to be ultrareactionary
conservatives, after all; a happenstance alliance between these two
splinters is not unlikely.

This belongs also to human rights, that totalitarian groups are not
allowed to come into your haus and garden. This is the rule in civilized
countries. It was not so in Soviet Union and in Nazi Germany.
Thank You for clarifying, that You und Your friends do not respect

Yes, but not between America and Germany but between Totalitarianism and
Democracy. There are very few Scientologists in the United States, who
try to behave like SA even before they have abolished democracy.

To prevent that ths behaviour becomes bad tradition, we need people who
defend freedom. That is one reason our committe came into being. See

I am part of Thomas' "gang". Bob is not getting the prize for the two
activities mentioned above (both, as you know were completely legal).

In Germany, Howd would probably already have been arrested before the
incident, since it was pretty obvious that Howd was threatening him.

I don't know if he believes it, but Clinton does support scientology,
simply because it is an american corporation. He even wrote for Freedom
magazine.

Could you clarify your position on Clinton's foreign policy, Beverly?
I understand you find Clinton's extramarital sexual activities worthy
of condemnation, as do I.

But I'm not clear as to what you find wrong about Clinton's policy
as to NATO involvement in Kosovo. What, specifically, do you
find reprehensible about his policy?

But what has Minton done to further unity among western
European nations? That's the part of your argument I don't
understand.

Again, I'm not sure if you are blaming the lack of awareness on
Clinton, on Minton, or on western Europe. Exactly who do you
blame for this lack of attention, and what does it have to do with
advancing the unification of western Europe?

I have never seen any statement by President Clinton calling
Germany "one of the worst human rights abusers in the world."
Would you please cite your source for this claim? If it's online,
a URL would be adequate.

>trying to make Sweden change ~their~ constitution in order

any words about Sweden's constitution. Would you please

statement?

Bob Minton's picket sign assaults occured on city streets.

His threat to mutilate a young woman took place over the Internet.

Does this fall within defending one's property?

I'm also curious how Bob Minton's extramarital philandering is any
less objectionable than Clinton's.

TG was talking about the shotgun incident. Scientologists were entering

american way is to shoot trespassers first, in self-defence)

If Bob Minton would enter a scientology property, they would do the
same.

I happen to like Kelly's irc personality. She has enlightened in several areas

>Tilman

Pointing a shotgun at someone is not authorized for defending personal property;
deadly force is allowed only for self defense (and only after "retreating" from
the situation). "Self defense" usually means that one fears for his/her life or
someone else in a given situation. From what I have read of the incident, I
don't think Bob was justified in using deadly force.

As usual, you're full of shit, and arrogant about it, too.

BBC World (documentary report), on 22 April 1999 used
the phrase "master plan."

With war almost a month old, Western media focussed attention
on what was described as the Yugoslav dictator's "master plan"6
for the ethnic Albanian populated province. The Yugoslav strategy,
outlined in graphic detail in the allegedly secret Operation
Horseshoe, was to encircle Kosovo with troops from the north,
north-east and north-west, force as much of the civilian population
to flee the province, but to leave open strategic escape routes
enabling the flood of refugees to exit into Macedonia and Albania.7
While Western observers have reported shock and horror at the
speed at which the province was depopulated and its resources
looted, Yugoslav officials were on record well prior to 24 March
1999 with not so subtle hints that there would be little or no
resistance in the event of an aggression against the Kosovar
population. That is, while the official Yugoslav media has been
replete with references to the "terrorist" Kosovo Liberation
Army (KLA) and comments about "ethnic Albanian terrorist
gangs….kill[ing] innocent civilians in order to make non-ethnic
Albanians leave the province"8 , high level officials did not
hide the fact that the Albanian population in Kosovo was
largely if not entirely civilian and little capable of standing
up to serious force. For his part, Dragan Tomic, Serbia's
parliamentary speaker, spoke up about the threat of the
KLA nearly three months prior to the NATO action,
observing "They [the Kosovars] are no force at all, as the
terrorists were defeated…"9

"Deadly force" is a very specific term. It refers to force which is likely
to cause death or grave physical injury. Firing a shotgun in the air
is not likely to do this. I am also not aware that Minton pointed the
shotgun at the mob of insane cultists trespassing on his property
in a disorderly and threatening manner.

The word you are looking for is "brandishing."

Okay. Well, I have received instruction (from the various state approved CCW
courses I have taken) that intentionally "brandishing" a firearm is considered
assault with a deadly weapon. For instance, it is illegal for a private citizen
to brandish a firearm to deter a thief from stealing one's car.

Indeed, firing a shotgun into the air is not deadly force. It can,
however, be criminal recklessness, and is illegal within the limits of
virtually every city. Minton got away with it because nobody was
apparently hurt by falling shot and because his residence is
apparently outside city limits.

It is legal to threaten the use of deadly force to repel trespassers
to land, but not to actually use it. The merits of this rule have
been debated over the years, but it remains the law.

The use of deadly force or the threat of deadly force in defense of
personal property is forbidden. Different rules apply to the defense
real property (threat of deadly force allowed, but not deadly force
itself) and to the defense of persons (deadly force allowed when self
or third person threatened with deadly force).

That depends on your state. In Texas, one can use deadly force to protect
property if "one reasonably believes that the property cannot be
protected or recovered by any other means."

To be precise, you would not merely be justified in brandishing a
weapon against someone stealing your car, but it would even be
legal to shoot the fucker.

Okay, I understand. The bottom line is that people should be more level headed
when they start pulling out/brandishing their firearms.

We who oppose fair game would love for there to be a thousand Bob

Clinton is a big supporter of fair game (whether or not he knows it is
for him to communicate some day) so yes, it is better to have people
imitate Bob Minton's actions.

Bob is fair game. The issue is fair game. Are you opposed to fair
game? Or do you support fair game, perhaps by attacking those who are
fair game and oppose it?

Have you ever considered confronting fair game rather than doing what
you do about it.

The shotgun blast took less than a second. The hit with a picket sign
took a second. It's the rest of the time which is important. What goes
through time? Why do you focus on what took no time? Fair game goes
through time. Focus on fair game. Can you?

Now I know you're a liar. The award may not be what you'd like it be

If you're using bogus in the sense I'm using it, then you are by your
own definition bogus. The award is not bogus because it is precisely
what it says it is.

What precisely do you say you are?

Have you? Are you saying that O$A uses the same black propaganda

critics as the right-wing loonies use in their efforts to unseat
President Clinton?

Seems to me you've made the case for why Bob Minton should be honored
with an award.

What opponent of $cientology fair game has the resources of the
President of the Unitred $tates to oppose it? Not one, until Bob
Minton came along, and helped fair game opponents survive and now even
organiize to combat fair game.

I'll bet you, Diane, have given no support whatsoever to fair game's
targets. You don't support me in the tiniest way, do you? You even

You be the devil's advocate Diane. You develop whatever evidence there
is that indicates that Clinton, or any U$ government person or entity
for that matter, supports $cientology. Or do you insist, having looked
at all data, all possible evidence, that there is absolutely no
evidence that Clinton, or any U$ government person or entity, supports
$cientology?

You know what there is. Be an honest researcher. Put together your
evidence. Do some work for a change.

Let's just say whatever it is is equally bad, that is equally
objectionable, as Clinton's. That's why Bob should equally get an
award. And it should be equally big. And we should make an equally big
deal of it. And have a celebration in every way equal to Clinton's.

Isn't that clear?

Anti-oppositionists always want to make Bob into a religious figure.
He's more of a general. I'm more of a religious figure. It would be
way out of character for me to blast away at the $cientologists with a
shotgun, and it would be very restrained of General Bob to caution the
$cientology intruders with a shot in the air. The $cientologists
should be thanking their lucky stars plus Bob that so far, Howd's
protestations notwithstanding, no one has gotten hurt.

Now $cientology, under the direction of all of you who read this
newsgroup, you must communicate with those who oppose your fair game
doctrine. Only your willfulness has kept you from communicating with
those who oppose fair game. Fortunately, your willfulness is
completely under your control. You can communicate any time you stop
being willful, any time you stop fair game. As long as you don't
communicate, we who oppose fair game know that you haven't stopped.

>

Yes, Bob is at considerable risk from the $cientologists and their
agents wherever he goes. An "unauthorized entry" by Bob onto their
property would be for $cientology an opportunity for physical
aggression.

These are "Americans" like Arnie Lerma who believe President
Clinton's marital infidelities are more important to this nation than
Clinton's policies.

Arnie Lerma is more than willing to disparage the land of his
birth just for the opportunity of being able to write "blow job"
on this newsgroup. His isn't intelligent enough to understand
foreign policy; his idea of government is jacking off while he
fantasizes about Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton together
in the oval office.

Lerma's idea of a "good, patriotic American" is Willis Carto,
the major force behind most of the neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic groups
in this country. Fortunately for this country, Lerma is too stupid
to be taken seriously by 99 percent of the population.

You've made that point quite clear, "reverend." What is not at all
clear is how awarding a bogus "prize" to a person who flagrantly
publicizes his adultery, offends women with his obscene remarks,
and shows absolutely no regard for humanity in any form is somehow
supposed to be considered a role model. Perhaps those who profess
Christianity in Germany have a different take on Christian values. Is
that it?

As a minister of the gospel can you honestly encourage others to
take as a role model a man who has made the following comments
(and others like them) to women who have done him no harm?

The man [appearing as "Mittens" in the presence of numerous
witnesses] has stated:

<Mittens> Lick the dog shit form my shows you fucking cult whore
<Mittens> Deana shut the fuck up you foul bitch

<Mittens> Karl Kluge can suck my asshole
<Mittens> Diane, I fuck you in the ear and puke on your pock marked
face you slut
<Mittens> Suck my dog shit Deana
<Mittens> Diane but i keep you ass my ass licker too
<Mittens> innie/vagina/cunt/field of Venus is an occassionally useful
description of the four horsewomen
<Mittens> if my ear were a cunt I could fuck it!
<Mittens> Whose cock was so long he could suck it
<barb> Some people just cant seem to ignore bob
<Mittens> Barb, they worship me
<barb> I know. they wish they WERE you
<Mittens> fuck off Diane she won't speak to a cunt like you
<Mittens> Darnitrol you stupid cocksucker Don't cum back
<Mittens> Diane lick the dog shit off of my boots
<Mittens> Diane you suck the cock of your principles
<Mittens> bivalve and Diane suck the cock of each others principles
<Mittens> well guys, i'm gonna leave you in peace while I go fuck some
OSA whores :-)

Is this the kind of man you want your children to grow up imitating?
Is this the kind of language you preach in your pulpit? Is this the
spirit you wish the world to embrace and honor?

If you wish to see more of the language by the man you honor
as a role model worthy of emulation by others, I will gladly provide
it for you. There are many, many people here who have witnessed
such behavior from this man you choose to honor.

>Heve You not read the resolutions of european parlament?

I have had the experience of this "role model" tossing vile, offensive
taunts at numerous women. This is the man you wish to honor as a
role model. I spit on your award, sir, and I spit on your notion of
"human rights."

Would you kindly provide evidence that the Clinton Adminstration is

So, you are in error, sir. If you choose to make such accusations you
should expect to be challenged to defend them.

I read the New York Times daily, sir. I'd suggest you read something
a little more objective than "Freedom magazin." I find it biased and
untruthful. If you choose to use "Freedom magazin" as your source of
news, you are surely in worse shape than I thought.

It certainly isn't working here. Perhaps the good citizens of Leipzig

The only point you have made, sir, is that you -- as a minister
of the gospel -- are encouraging people to emulate the behavior
of a man who has proven to be violent, abusive, and profane.
If that's the sort of "religion" you preach from your pulpit, I want
no part of it.

Of course they don't. And no matter how hard you try to turn the
"pig's ear" named Robert S. Minton into a "silk purse," you're going
to still end up with pig all over yourself.

I sincerely hope you are not typical of the rest of the German clergy.

I'm not nervous at all, "reverend." I'm curious, however, as to how
a minister can encourage people to say things like:

<Mittens> Suck my dog shit Deana

Is that something you have your congregation recite in unison in
honor of your hero?

What you have failed to post is the comments Deirdre made
before I responded, ptsc.

You've also failed to report that XMudder himself denounced
the posting of this log and made it quite clear that he and I
were joking. But you'd prefer not to let others know about
that.

What's the matter? Are you afraid to post the entire log?
If that happened, you wouldn't be quite so capable of making
things look the way you want them to look, would you?

Selective editing IS so convenient now, isn't it? :-)

I'll be sure to include entire logs of Robert S. Minton's comments,
rather than just including Minton's own words. That way, we can
all be sure everyone knows just what behavior the Rev. Mr.
Gandow wants the world to imitate.

Shall I start with Robert S. Minton's "wedding announcement"?
Perhaps the Rev. Mr. Gandow would like to perform a wedding
ceremony at the same time as the award.

Oh ... that's right ... that would be bigamy, wouldn't it?

No, dear, that isn't the "whole log." That's a log that
was edited by Deirdre before she emailed it out to a
number of people.

You may not be aware that it was XMudder who began
the "fucking the pig" joking rather than I. But you'd prefer
to think I was responsible for that, wouldn't you?

It was edited ... quite heavily so.

>I don't buy your "we were joking" haha excuse either.

That wasn't my "excuse," it was a statement made by the
person Deirdre wanted others to believe I was insulting with my
comments.

Of course, those who wish to make Robert S. Minton a
"role model" for "other people to imitate" (I am quoting here
the words of the "Rev." Thomas Gandow), would prefer
others weren't aware of Robert S. Minton's boorish behavior
towards women.

Once people learn of Minton's behavior towards women,
Bill Clinton's behavior doesn't appear all that terrible, does it?

The sheriff thinks he was, since he didn't charge him.

No, she appeared maybe a year ago, on irc mostly. Unless she was here
