Flashback: 1995 ADL press release commends Bush the Elder on resignation from NRA over "jack-booted thugs" comment. Honestly, how is this language anti-Semitic? How is it anything but pro-Semitic and anti-oppression? What is ADL really against, criticism of federal officials?
Care to review my page on Genocide & Disarmament?
As industry is nationalized and we spiral down to socialism, get ready for a similar vacuous response when we criticize the inevitable effort to disarm us in the coming months.
BUSH'S NRA RESIGNATION `SETS AN EXAMPLE OF LEADERSHIP' SAYS ADL.
BUSH'S NRA RESIGNATION `SETS AN EXAMPLE OF LEADERSHIP' SAYS ADL New York, NY, May 15, 1995...The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) commended former President George Bush for his resignation from the National Rifle Association (NRA) because of vicious attacks on Federal officials in an NRA mailing. The League had protested the mailing's rhetoric more than two weeks ago, calling it "disturbing" and "beyond the mainstream by any definition." In a letter to President Bush, ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman wrote, "All of us who work for a strong, healthy and tolerant democracy are thankful to you for setting an example of leadership against this rhetoric that undermines a civil society." On April 27th, the League wrote NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre about the mailing, citing such statements as "jack-booted government thugs" and Federal agents wearing "nazi bucket helmets and black storm trooper uniforms." Foxman told him the rhetoric was "uncalled for" and "dangerous." The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.
