Interesting letter in today’s Washington Times about anti-Semitism on Moveon.org’s website:

Eli Pariser, MoveOn.org’s political action executive director, has been somewhat disingenuous in disclaiming MoveOn.org’s responsibility for the anti-American and anti-Semitic slurs that have been appearing all over its Action Forum (”MoveOn and hate speech,” Letters, Saturday).
First, MoveOn.org has always had the power to moderate this forum. Objections to slurs like “Jew Lieberman” were in fact removed while the slurs themselves were allowed to stand. Only when Robert Goldberg’s “Donkey See, Monkey Do” Op-Ed (Aug. 29) exposed this scandal did MoveOn try to sweep the worst of the evidence under the rug. Unfortunately for MoveOn.org, much of it is still cached on Google and has been downloaded and posted elsewhere for all to see.
The MoveOn community shows overwhelming approval for accusations that Jews do not serve in the U.S. military, Jews are loyal to Israel instead of the United States, America is a war criminal country, and other, often worse, critcisms.
It is time for all liberals who consider themselves ladies or gentlemen to walk away from MoveOn.org’s anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism. Candidates like Ned Lamont and Bob Casey cannot control who endorses them but they can reject MoveOn’s endorsement the way President Reagan rejected the Ku Klux Klan’s.
