LYNCHBURG, Va. — A Jewish organization is calling on the Rev. Jerry Falwell (search) to retract a "vote Christian in 2008" statement made months ago in a letter raising money for his ministries.

The criticism of Falwell appeared Monday on the Web site of the Anti-Defamation League (search), a group organized in 1913 to fight anti-Semitism.

Falwell, founder of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., and Moral Majority, included with his mass fund-raising letter for Falwell Ministries a sticker that reads, "I Vote Christian."

Is it just me, or is the Ant-Defamation League acting like the Jewish version of CAIR or the NAACP?

[AppyPappy]

They always have. They need to get their nose out of Falwell's business.

[Mad Mammoth]

Hey, let the ADL encourage people to "vote Moses".

End of problem.

[nuconvert]

This is ridiculous if that's all there is.

As a Jew I can tell you that the ADL does not represent Jews. I ask my Christian brothers to kindly ignore the fat Marxist gasbag Abe Foxman. He lost all credibility when he insulted the Gospel over "The Passion". Foxman is an ultra-left wing agitator who hates Christians and says nothing against Muslims. He takes an enormous salary for a non-profit with very questionable expenses, and should be investigated for financial improprieties.

The Anti-Defamation League has gone the way of all organizations who are taken over by left-wing democrats. They no longer care about anything except the election of anti-American, anti-Jewish democrats.

It is strange that an organization such as the Anti-Defamation League would support a political party that now supports the enemies of Israel and the United States.

Did he send the letter to Jews? I think not. So what's the beef?

[deltabean]

What a load of garbage. I'm Jewish and daily thank God for the "Christian right" who support the Jews while the "Secular left" is nothing but a group of anti-Semites and self loathing Jews.

BTW. "Vote Jewish in 2008, vote Republican"
