Terrible article. They provide no concrete examples, only empty platitudes. And it's clear they're extremely biased:
"The national ADL, like the ACLU, the NAACP, and other formerly "apolitical" civil rights groups, is now merely a tax-exempt cadre of the national Democratic Party. Anyone paying any kind of attention knows this. And as the Democratic Party has moved further into the fringes of Left-wing lunacy, the ADL has moved with it—whether a Jewish "antidefamation" issue is at stake or not. The party requires it."
He calls every group defending civil rights "actually anti free speech" and suggests the ADL doesn't do enough for Orthodox Jews, without again any evidence, because of "assimilated Jews". This sentiment comes up again when he says that most Jews "reciprocate" the ADL's supposed detestation of Judaism.
He's just another religious conservative detached from reality. It's actually quite concerning when a lawyer makes baseless claims about an anti defamation organization. I don't know if it meets the legal definition of defamation, but it certainly gets the common usage for it. Anyone who's ever been represented by this guy should get another trial, because this guy seems likely to prove your role in the murder in the process of trying to ~~prove your innocence~~ blaming liberals and judges for your arrest.
