National Catholic and Jewish groups lashed out at U.S. Senate candidate Bob Casey, Jr. yesterday for his financial ties to anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic organizations. The Catholic-based advocacy group Fidelis along with The Center for Jewish Values (CJV) and the National Committee for the Furtherance of Jewish Education (NCFJE) appeared in joint press conferences yesterday in Harrisburg, Scranton and Pittsburgh, calling upon Casey to return over $300,000 in contributions received from the radical left wing groups MoveOn.org and the Human Rights Campaign and to denounce their anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic statements.
