Christian Coalition Slams Freedom's Watch
The Politico reports that the Christian Coalition is objecting to billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson's smear group Freedom's Watch. They write:
The Christian Coalition takes issue with Adelson, who made billions
-- he's the country's fifteenth-richest man, according to this year's
Forbes 400 list -- in the casino business, with properties in Las Vegas
and Macau. The Venetian Macau is what sticks in the craw of social
conservatives. "Where Adelson has placed his treasure makes it quite
clear where his heart is: in gambling and in backing the regime in
China that persecutes Christians," Alabama Christian Coalition
president Randy Brinson said in a statement.The coalition also invokes disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who
helped Native American tribes get approval for new casinos, often
aiding his clients by funneling money to Christian organizations that
would then rally in opposition to other tribes' efforts. "We're tired
of the Abramoffs and Adelsons of this world using their ill-gotten
gains to try to buy elections and influence," Brinson said.
Freedom's Watch recently aired an ad attacking a Democratic candidate in Alabama. The candidate invoked his Christian religion as part of his defense.
Conservative feud in the works.
