Libel award against Anti-Defamation League upheld

By The Associated Press

A $9.75 million libel award against the Anti-Defamation League for publicly calling an Evergreen couple anti-Semitic was upheld Tuesday by a federal appeals court.

William and Dorothy Quigley won the judgment in April 2000 after the ADL's remarks at a news conference. The incident arose out of a dispute between the Quigleys and neighbors Mitchell and Candice Aronson, who are Jewish. The original judgment was $10.5 million, but a judge reduced that to $9.75 million in 2001 because the Quigleys had won a separate but related judgment against the Aronsons over wiretapping violations.

The ADL appealed the libel judgment, but the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the smaller award.

ADL regional director Bruce DeBoskey declined to comment.

The appeals court overturned the jury's finding that the ADL had invaded the Quigleys' privacy, saying the jury instructions were faulty. That decision had no effect on the libel award.

The dispute dates to 1994. The Aronsons claimed the Quigleys made anti- Semitic remarks in phone conversations that the Aronsons taped.

Comment: Beware of the ADL. This racist Jewish organization smears everyone who opposes Israeli aggression. Its long time goal has been to poison the minds of children in our schools, and censor anyone who attempts to tell the truth about Israel and ZOG.

Can someone explain whi it is, that if the "zionist" control America, that this can stand?

Hmmmmmmm?

So much for THAT theory!

It DOES appear to me, that justice is applied equally.

Jew or not.
by ADL slicksters are well-financed
When one of the Ku Klux Klans was hit with a multimillion verdict as it deserved, then it was forced to completely shut down operations for lack of funds. Justice was served.

But the well-financed ADL zionazi hate group was able to absorb even a deserved $10 million hit with aplomb due to its backing by wealthy zionist interests. To them, $10 million is the kind of pocket money that will merely annoy. They've hardly noticed the loss.

A result denoting the fruitfulness of justice in America -NOT.

"Jew haters of Indymedia would also hate the Anti Defamation League"

Jew haters? So now if someone criticizes Israel they're antisemitic, and if they criticize the JDL they're "jew Haters."

So then, does anyone who criticizes the US government qualify as an anti-American? And if we criticize an American organization we're 'America Haters'? What if we criticize Yoga? Are we Yoga Haters?

Grow up.

er what would someone have to do to show to you that they hate somthing?
by anti-scum
People who hate would do any or all of the following:

*shoot children throwing stones
*rob people of their land
*perpetrate ethnic cleansing
*adopt a master race ideology
*use tanks, F-16s and machine guns against the people they hate
*bulldoze homes
*murder peace activists like Rachel Corrie
*silence their opponents with phony cries of "anti-semite!"

Now actually there's a lot more, but you get the idea.
by Oh yeah?
People who hate also do the following:

•Deny the Holocaust
•Try to perpetuate a second one.
•Blow up civilians in busses, pizza parlors, and synagogues.
•Refuse all peace treaties that do not result in the extermination of the people they're supposed to be making peace with.
•Revise history to hide their own sins.
•Respond to criticism by shouting: "Anti-Arab!"
•Respond to anti-semitism by blaming it on the Jews.
•Censor posts that support Jews on indymedia.

Hey, I've been censored twice on this thread already, why not try for a third time?

People who hate would do any or all of the following:

*shoot children throwing stones
- if you are killed by a "child" you are just as dead as if you are killed by an adult. And stones can kill (for example "stoning to death"). Do you really think that a soldier who walked into a crowd of angry palistinian "children" and failed to protect himself would not die?

I will just summarize the rest of your statements and see what you think
"*if you are a jew in israel"
- does that summarize it?
