I love the way rightwing people can get so much play on the Israel file and really get upset when they are asked to explain things like the ADL's less than stellar record on 'facts' or extremist racist parties receiving nearly as many seats as Likud or are in complete 'dispora denial', but will be DAMN sure to send an 'angry form' email over to CP over Cockburn's Weisel trashing.

I look at the threads here in I/P about, say, Rachel Corrie and you get entire raps that would be 'kicked' anywhere else but Free Republic.

You find an well-written and thoughtful article like the 'Israel Lobby' that should be of concern to to anyone, including jewish people, BUT NO...even the most basic 'on the record' parts of the relationship between US-Israeli lobby is denied. But at the same time, they will promote quite openly such things as 1.2 billion Muslims being in some plot to get them.

But YEAH they're 'progressive' even as they call for the Bush administration to attack Iran.

Too much...hey what's ADL's position on the anti-immigrant progrom legislation perkolating through the US Congress at the moment--you think ADL would be way out in front on that one...? LOL
