The minister has been conssistantly demonized by the media.. To the point that they try to destroy the messenger despite the truth of the message.

I don't agree with him on many things.. But who agrees with anybody on most things really??  I don't hold anyone to that high of a standard.

Anyway, just because he has been attacked by the MSM does not mean his messagas have to be lost.  Let go of the bias and listen to his message, he just might have something useful to say.

The Anti-Defamation League has long been a pro-Israel (as in pro-Likud) group disguised as a human rights organization. Never has this been more clear than last week when ADL president Abe Foxman refused to condemn Pastor John Hagee because he's an "advocate of Israel."

But that's not the only reason Abe abides Hagee. You see, unlike Louis Farrakhan--whom some conservative Jews are trying to tie to Barack Obama--he's not black:

The difference “between Farrakhan and Hagee is self-evident. So to compare the two and to say: ‘Well, if you ask Obama to distance from Farrakhan — well, Farrakhan is a black racist, an antisemite, anti-Israel, consorts with America’s enemies. Hagee is a supporter of Israel, an advocate of Israel, opposed to antisemitism, and there are issues on which members of the Jewish community and some organizations disagree with, and so from time to time they or we have indicated our disagreement, but it’s not of the same nature or category or being.

The Anti-Defamation League, and it longtime leader Abe Foxman, are not considered a liberal or progressive organization by liberals or progressives. There is plenty of criticism of them from the left.  They are quite quick to call anti-Semitism on anybody... Black or White, Christian or Muslim, Republican and Democrat, etc.

They are absolutely part of mainstream American Jewish leadership.
Basically, they give the good housekeeping seal of approval on whether or not you or your statements are anti-semitic. If you are koshered by them, then you should be kosher for the rest of us (certainly us Jews).

So where does the ADL stand on Senator Obama and Minister Farrakhan?

And by the way, does the ADL have anything to say about John McCain?

I know I'm violating Daily Kos policy here, but last night, Senator Clinton has finally and officially crossed the line with me. I will not ever cast a ballot for her. Thankfully, the good voters of this nation and the Democratic Party appear poised to see to it that I won't have to face that ugly choice. Her attempted "gotcha" on Obama with respect to Minister Louis Farrakahn represents so much that is so wrong with this woman on so many different levels, that I just could not vote for under any circumstances.
