Abe Foxman falls asleep on the job
Given all the reports of anti-Semitism at #Occupy Wall Street, you would think that Anti-Semite buster Abe Foxman would be at the forefront of the people protesting. You'd be wrong. Former Congressional candidate Joel Pollak (R-Il-9) compares Foxman's reaction to the Tea Party with his reaction to Occupy and asks why (Hat Tip: Memeorandum).In May 2009, shortly after the first Tea Party rallies in April, the ADL warned: “White Supremacists and Anti-Semites Plan to Recruit at July 4 Tea Parties.”So why isn't the ADL speaking out? After all, Foxman often finds anti-Semites where the rest of us can't find them. Could it be that the ADL has joined the Red-Green alliance?
In November, the ADL issued a “special report” on the Tea Party and “anti-government conspiracies.” The ADL noted that “extremists were a tiny minority of Tea Party protesters,” but claimed Tea Party members were filled with “rage” and held ideas that “fall outside the mainstream.”
As of this writing, the ADL has said nothing about the “rage” and bigotry on display at several “Occupy” rallies. Instead, it is minimizing the antisemitism on display, effectively helping “Occupy” do damage control.
One ADL analyst told the Daily Caller:“We have seen instances of individuals promoting these [antisemitic] views. We do not think that it is or has been institutionalized in the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movements,” she said. “But I think the bigger issue is sort of that when there is a heightened focus economic strife and the financial industry it is not surprising to see these messages. Yet, we will continue to be diligent, looking for them and combating the promotion of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories should they arise.”Todd Gutnick, ADL’s media relations director, confirmed this morning: “Aside from the story in the Daily Caller in which we were quoted, ADL has made no statements on the Occupy movement.”
That is alarming, given the explicit anti-Jewish hatred on display at Occupy rallies across the country.
Read the whole thing.

ADL is so tied into the progressive movement that Foxman can't tell a real antisemite from a Yeshiva student. Years ago they purged any conservative of right of center American Jew from the organization. Support the republicans and you are not welcome.
His paymasters bundle for the democratic party and they support Obama. If Obama supports OWS then so does ADL. It is disgusting and any Jew who gives money to ADL anymore is abandoning the Jewish people.
Yup, another Obama suck-up--even as anti-Semites of the ilk burrowed into OWS routinely invoke the spectre of ADL as a regnant ghoul in the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby spectre.
For Jew haters it's always Halloween. Foxxman has "dual-loyalties" alright--but that divided loyalty is to the Democratic Party.
