NEW YORK, Sept. 29 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Anti-Defamation League
(ADL) has told Sen. Lieberman that if he were to meet Louis
Farrakhan, he would be legitimizing a bigot, an anti-Semite and a
racist, who continues to spout his message of hate. Following Sen.
Lieberman's comment on a radio program that he would be willing to
meet the head of the extremist Nation of Islam, ADL leaders wrote
to the Senator urging him to reject Minister Farrakhan as have Vice
President Gore and Gov. George W. Bush.
In their September 27 letter, Howard P. Berkowitz, ADL National
Chairman, and Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, raised
their concern about Lieberman's comments "expressing admiration for
Minister Louis Farrakhan and your stated intention to meet with
him." The League leaders reminded the Senator that "Minister
Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam have spread the message of Black
separatism and anti-gay, anti-Catholic, racist and anti-Semitic
bigotry throughout the United States and the world."
