Biden will headline NJDC event

Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden will be the keynote speaker at this month's National Jewish Democratic Council conference in Washington.

The exact time of Biden's appearance is not yet set, said an NJDC spokesperson, but the conference begins on the afternoon of Sept. 23 and continues all day Sept. 24. The speech will be the first time Biden has spoken in front of a meeting of a national Jewish organization since his selection last month as Barack Obama's running mate.

Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean will also speak at the parley.

Hi - You may be aware of the fact that the Chancellor of Higher Education in Ohio is Eric D. Fingerhut.

To avoid confusion is it possible for you to include your middle initial in your by-line? One blogger already confused the two of you in a post of your column.

Thanks for your consideration.

I see; Biden is going to appear at an organization that posts anti-Christian hate videos (Bubbie versus the GOP, except it’s really Bubbie versus Christians, ministers, Jesus, and the Cross). It is well known that a lot of anti-Semitic propaganda involves placement of the Star of David in the U.S. Flag’s blue field. “Bubbie vs. the GOP” does the same thing with the Cross.

NJDC also whitewashed the anti-Semitic hate speech that MoveOn.org welcomed on its now-disgraced Action Forum. (I am one of the major reasons this Action Forum is no longer on the Internet.)
