HATE MONEY IS HATE SPEECH Jews Call On Casey to Return MoveOn’s Contributions and Repudiate Its Messages
New York, NY – The Center for Jewish Values today called on Pennsylvania Democrat, US Senate Candidate Bob Casey, Jr. to return almost $170,000 of campaign contributions from extremist group MoveOn.org. As has been covered extensively in the press over the past several months, MoveOn.org’s website has a record of attacking Jews and Israel in the most virulent terms. The public repeatedly has asked Casey to repudiate MoveOn’s hate, to return all contributions he has received in connection with MoveOn, and to reject future contributions from MoveOn. Casey continues to ignore all such requests.
“Jews are frightened that MoveOn’s hate message is becoming so influential in national politics. We are deeply troubled that Casey is legitimizing and making himself beholden to a group that tolerates and promulgates the worst kind of hatred, anti-Semitism and anti-Israel propaganda,” said CJV president Jeff Ballabon.
CJV requested that Casey do everything in his power to demonstrate that he rejects MoveOn’s hatred for Jews and Israel. “Bob Casey is a public figure,” said Ballabon. “It is imperative that he shows that he is sensitive to and opposes the rise of anti-Semitism in Democratic politics by returning all money associated with MoveOn.org, by refusing any invitations by MoveOn and by issuing a statement openly distancing himself and his campaign from MoveOn’s politics of hate.”
Ballabon added, “Americans of good conscience, regardless of their faith, should be troubled that Bob Casey knowingly accepts money from a political organization whose website compared President Bush to Hitler, referred to American supporters of Israel as a “BushCo ZioNeoCon Cabal,” labeled Israelis “ZioNazis,” and called Jews “sneaky,” “greedy pigs,” and “media-owning Jewish pigs.”
As of June 30, 2006, public records show that Casey has accepted $168,591 from MoveOn.org.
The scandal has become so bad that MoveOn shut down its Action Forum, possibly (although we have no way to prove it) at the request of the candidates it has endorsed, like Bob Casey (D-PA), Ned Lamont (D-CT), Robert Byrd (KKK-WV), and Bill Nelson (D-FL) because this sort of thing could hurt their campaigns very badly.
What? OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!
Oh, I forgot. We don't do that.
Oh, come on. WWBVMD?
MoveOn.org has become one of the owners of the DemocRAT Party.
WWBVMD = "What would the Blessed Virgin Mary do?"
When you used the word "We" in your post, I assumed you were Catholic.

Well then, perhaps it is time for Jews to STOP being such strong supporters of the DEMS and their Great Soros emperor and Comrades Clintoon.
I'm a conservative Jew who would pour kerosene on myself and light a match before I'd vote Democrat again. And I'm not alone. Those of which you speak of are JINOs, and are not true Jews. Just thought I'd educate ya.
Thanks for letting me know. I just sent this to The Forward:
To the Editor;
Rep. Howard Berman's "GOP Slanders Dems With ‘Anti-Israel’ Ads" overlooks glaring evidence of not merely anti-Israel bias but anti-Semitism in the left wing of the Democratic Party. An official MoveOn.org bulletin says that "neoconservatives," often a thinly-disguided euphemism for Jews, cannot distinguish the United States' interests from Israel. MoveOn.org's Action Forum, which was recently shut down because of the rapidly-spreading scandal, was very open in accusing Jews of divided loyalties, manipulating the United States into wars for Israel's benefit, not serving in our Armed Forces, and controlling all the media.
Although not as prevalent, the Action Forum also directed hate speech at Christians and African-Americans; as an example, Black soldiers were smeared as potential mutineers who should be disarmed and segregated. Plentiful conspiracy theories accused the Bush Administration and/or Jewish real estate developers of blowing up the World Trade Center on 9/11. Furthermore, prominent Democratic candidates like Ned Lamont, Bob Casey, and Bill Nelson have refused to date to repudiate MoveOn.org's endorsement.
I am genuinely glad to learn this! Thank you.
