I don't know whether this means Tarsy gets his job back; I suspect it doesn't (even if he wanted it which he may not). I think the new position is simply Foxman trying to staunch the bleeding.Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947512500100910895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-53418363824702762532007-08-20T12:21:00.000-04:002007-08-20T12:21:00.000-04:00Thanks for posting on this.

I spent the weekend being outraged at the ADL's actions, but I like your constructive suggestion for what the New England ADL board could do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-77222539058756203422007-08-18T16:57:00.000-04:002007-08-18T16:57:00.000-04:00I think you were quite eloquent.

I apologize for any perception of trivialization of Hitler.<BR/> I guess what I was trying to say is that forcible (physically or otherwise) squelching of all dissent, taken far enough and for long enough, has the potential to lead to exactly the result that I assume the ADL exists to try to prevent. Maybe you can rephrase it for me more eloquently; I am not a born writer as you are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-45435366527549976082007-08-18T12:38:00.000-04:002007-08-18T12:38:00.000-04:00We always have to be careful with allusions or com...We always have to be careful with allusions or comparison to Hitler, who was bad beyond belief. I wouldn't go as far as you as to compare, even figuratively, Andy's termination to Hitler's approach. There are orders of magnitude differences.<BR/><BR/>But, I think the point you are making is important. If you are in the business of morale outrage and education on these matters, you are especially susceptible to being held to a standard that you have helped create.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-37737622773070599692007-08-18T10:07:00.000-04:002007-08-18T10:07:00.000-04:00It's ironic and very sad that you had a quote of H...It's ironic and very sad that you had a quote of Hitler saying "....and I will have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad" - only to see the national ADL do the same thing, figuratively, to one who dared offer dissent. Hypocrisy among morally self-righteous organizations is particularly repugnant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
