A largely Jewish organization would recognize the commandment as what Hillel described as the whole of the Torah.

"A gentile came to Shammai and said to him, 'Accept me as a proselyte on the condition that you teach me the whole law while I stand on one foot.' Shammai drove him away with the measuring rod that he held in his hand. Then he went to Hillel, who received him as a proselyte and said to him, 'What is hateful to you do not to your neighbour. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary. Now go and study.'"
- Talmud, Shabbat 31a

Kerry finds one of the commandments that Moses dropped on the way down the mountain.

LOL. Now who's nitpicking, inferring that "commandment" is not meaningful apart from the Ten Commandments? The guy provides enough opportunities to poke fun without having to reach like that.

There is an excellent article in WSJ today -John O'Neill- re why Kerry isn't fit to be Commander-in-Chief. Mr. O'Neill was in the same 'boat' as Kerry, except O'Neill stayed the whole year, instead of Kerry's 4 months.
