How does he even do it? It’s like he’s on a zealous crusade to embarrass himself. I keep thinking “he can’t look any more foolish and shitty” and he fuckin KEEPS proving me wrong. It’s almost impressive at this point. He stays setting new PR for negative PR.

For those down voting have you read the link? It's literally written by an Orthodox Jew who worked as a legal intern for the ADL in the 80s.
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.
Good article. The ADL obviously broke the law by saying mean things about Elon and his company, they need to pay for that!
I'm simply pointing out that the ADL are not paragons. They throw their weight around for their own political purposes. Just because bad guys say things you don't like doesn't mean they should not be allowed to say anything.
I agree, the ADL should be shut down for saying bad things about a job creator like Elon. Also, all the businesses that decided to stop buying ads on Elons site should also be shut down, it’s a blatant violation of the law for them to do that.
Your straw man burns brightly in effigy of things I have not said.
I’m on your side, sheesh. I’m sick of this woke cancel culture nonsense where businesses stop giving money Elon just because he “platforms Nazis”. They should be forced to keep giving him money. Now he has no choice but to take down the ADL.
Welcome to the internet. You must be new here. Seriously WTF is your problem? Continually reading things I never said in thing I have.
Sorry snowflake I thought you were for free speech?
Who are you arguing with? Because it obviously isn't me.
I wasn’t trying to argue with you I was trying to agree with you but you got aggressive with me for no reason.
If you want to run a troll account then great, whatever, but maybe actually look at what you're responding to and gauge what you're going to write instead of blanket assuming you know what the comment says without actually reading it first.
I’m literally agreeing with you and you’re attacking me and calling me names, I insist that you stop or you’ll be hearing from my lawyers
