It's really quite simple. The ADL is in the business of "marginalizing
fringe groups", particularly so-called "anti-semitic" groups.
It uses this technique to build political "fences" around much larger
groups, such as Catholics, Baptists, Germans, etc, in order to
contain them and keep them on the reservation.
One of the objects of the ADL's attacks is "the Christian right", whose offense
in the ADL's eyes seems to be that they think of themselves as "Jews" to the
point of believing that Israel is their homeland.
The ADL's attacks serve as a warning to "mainstream" Christian denominations
that if they don't scrupulously behave within the bounds that the ADL
prescribes for them, the "mainstream" groups can be attacked, too.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
