Exchange Between Bill Moyers and Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League

Following Bill Moyers' reflections on the events in Gaza on the JOURNAL last week, Anti-Defamation League National Director Abraham Foxman sent him this letter:

Letter follows at link & Moyer's response: http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/blog/2009/01/exchange_between_bill_moyers_a.html

1. excellent response by Moyers to Foxman

but you know better than to post this here, so why do it?

3. What are you? A free-lance hall monitor? I don't think it's inappropriate at all.

And I don't care if you do. 'Alert' if you want.

Thread police make DU a lot less enjoyable place.

6. I have no intention of alerting

this will get locked without my doing so. Just curious why you think you're above the rules here.

9. I'm curious why this would be locked.

Why is it against the rules to post something like this?

10. send a pm to the mods

8. I don't think that is an example of thread police

I think it was more a friendly warning about the flame war you might have (but thankfully did not) started. Some folks here are very sensitive and would take a well written response of this sort an attack on Israel - I know that sounds far-fetched, but its true.

[ThomWV]

2. That response is worth reading no matter how you feel about the issue

That is really a great response to false allegations - it might be held up as a model for anyone looking to see how it is done.

4. indeed...an excellent response....

...Bill Moyers is truly a gem...

[ThomCat]

5. Definitely worth reading. He shows it down well.

[pleah]

7. K&R Great response. n/t

11. Moyers is an eloquent man, and precise in his language.. . .n/t

[Usrename]

12. What a contrast in the two different views.

It's not really all that complicated, is it? One of them sounds like a real American patriot.

13. Moyers is correct.

The ADL does some good work, but this isn't one such instance.
