Hate Speech from the DLC
(Guest Post by Big Tent Democrat)
The DLC needs to drop the D as long as the Dem hater and smearer Marshall Wittman remains on their payroll:
For months, the Moose has observed that if you seek anti-Semitic and anti-Israel filth on the internet, look to the left side. Comment threads and diariists regularly rant against Jews and the Jewish state. What is striking is the degree to which it is tolerated and the "respectability" these sites receive from the Democratic establishment.
Well, there has been a significant development of awareness in the Jewish community about this rancid phenomena. The Anti-Defamation League has submitted a letter to MoveOn protesting the anti-Semitic hate that was found on their site.
Of course, the bloggers will defend themselves by suggesting that they are not responsible for the comments on their site. Perhaps, just perhaps these so-called "progressives" could pause from their efforts to purge centrists and take some time to wipe their site clean of hate.
The question is why Democratic leaders continue to collude with the anti-Semitic appeasing left? This should be a time for introspection for a party that relies heavily on Jewish support.
First, Wittman, as he always does, lies. As I pointed out earlier, Move On did remove the comments 3 weeks ago.- and long before Joe Lieberman asked Abe Foxman to discredit the ADL with his misguided letter against Move On.
Of course, Wittman and the DLC will ignore that the ADL sent out a letter today COMMENDING Move On for its responsiveness:
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) welcomed the responsiveness of MoveOn.org Political Action in removing anti-Semitic messages that had been posted on the Action Forum on their Web site. In response to a letter of concern, Eli Pariser, Executive Director of MoveOn Political Action, has been in direct contact with ADL. He indicated that MoveOn.org found the comments abhorrent and had them removed.
ADL is pleased with Mr. Pariser's responsiveness to our concerns and believes the matter has been resolved satisfactorily.
Second, Wittman calls Move On (and others presumably) antisemitic appeasers. This is so beyond the pale that he should be immediately fired by the DLC. The rankest false smear imaginable.
Third, he accuses Dem leaders of colluding with antisemitic appeasers. Another vile lie.
The DLC is a reprehensible New McCarthyite, Rovian Republican shill group and Marshall Wittman is the primary reason why.
The question is why do Democratic leaders belong to this vile organization that employs men like Wittman who not only falsely smeared Dems in the vilest terms, but spent much of his career working for the documented antisemite Pat Robertson.
