The League’s president, attorney William Donahue, noted,
“On Aug. 29, Nebraska state Sen. Ernie Chambers addressed a crowd of wealthy
businessmen at a luncheon hosted by the suburban Rotary club of Omaha. Chambers,
who is black, attacked the Catholic Church before an all white audience. ‘The
Catholic Church is more effective as a criminal enterprise than the mafia,'”
said Chambers.
“Ernie Chambers is an anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic, racist
state senator who hates America. Here’s the proof: He has engaged in the most
virulent anti-Catholic remarks while opposing school vouchers; he has disfigured
Catholic devotional objects and distributed them to his colleagues; he has been
denounced by several leading Jews for his anti-Semitic remarks; his comments
regarding white people have earned him the label ‘One of the biggest racists in
Omaha’; he has been crassly dismissive over 9-11 saying: ‘It didn’t affect me at
all’; and he has accused President Bush of being a drunken moral coward who is
bent on starting World War III.”
