Jewish Task Force.

Yeah, the media might dismiss them because they do appear right wing but they bring up some points about gun control that I would like to know if anyone here has heard them.

CAUTION: Some disturbing images on this page.

Also, can someone please verify if John Kerry made the statement they attribute to him?

From the site:

"Kerry thinks that the Second Amendment was intended only to provide duck hunters like himself with shotguns, demagogically claims that the National Rifle Association (NRA) advocates the sale of assault weapons "in the streets" and remarked in November 2003 that "I would rather be the candidate of the NAACP [National Association for the Annihilation of Caucasian People] than the NRA.""

I have no idea if Kerry said that or not, but it would be in character.

However, I have doubts about the "group".

First, they claim to be a group that represents right-wing Jews. I am as right-wing a Jew religiously as you'll meet online (more right-wing religiously and they wouldn't be on the net because of some of the filth to be found on it) and I'm among the most right-wing on Jewish and Israeli issues and I've never heard of it. Further, some of my friends are as right-wing politically as I am religiously and they are active and aware politically and they don't seem to know the "organization".

Second, they parrot White Supremicist language (translating NAACP as "National Association for the Annihilation of Caucasian People") and I don't know many Jews who would mimic the rhetoric of Neo-Nazi types.

Third, they tout their media broadcasts to try to gain credibility but it is all radio (in a smaller station) and public access cable in the NYC area. Anyone can put a "program" on public access cable, and with enough money most smaller radio stations will sell a chunk of airtime.

Last, every other paragraph seems to contain a request for donations.

My strong suspicion is that this is a group of three or four people trying to further their opinions and to make money. Alone that doesn't completely discredit them, but don't give them any more credence than you would any other individual or very small group of people. It is doubtful they have the staff and funds to do any large scale fact checking, and that doesn't seem to be their mission anyway.
