By all rights, this should be the end of the Anti-Defamation League.
If it ever had a modicum of respectability as an organization that defended civil and human rights – even if it erred, repeatedly in overzealous defense of Israel – the ADL’s despicable intervention in the fight over the construction of a mosque and community center in Lower Manhattan ought to deprive the ADL of its last shred of that respectability.
Thankfully, the powers-that-be in New York City, including Mayor Bloomberg, have slapped down the ADL and its right-wing, Republican allies, giving the green light to the mosque, despite the crass and un-American opposition to it from Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich
[1], and a host of GOP hacks.
