The ADL vs. Fox

I've had my differences with Abe Foxman over the years, but he's right on here:

Why is Sean Hannity inviting a man with an “extensive track record of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks” to be a guest on his television show? The Anti-Defamation League would like to know.

In a letter to the Fox News Channel host, the organization states that an espouser of “odious views” such as Andy Martin “ought not to be given the opportunity to enhance his credentials or his standing by appearing on ‘Hannity’s America.’” Martin appeared on the show to falsely allege that Obama is a Muslim.

Martin has a history of filing court documents containing anti-Semitic slurs, and in 1986 he listed the purpose of a campaign committee he launched for U.S. Congress in Connecticut as “to exterminate Jew power.”

I think it's even worse that Martin alleged, on a nationally televised primetime "news" broadcast, that Obama plotted the violent overthrow of the federal government. Tell me lawyers- doesn't Obama have a pretty good libel case?
