Open Source Foes In Bed With Abramoff

Will Rodger writes, "Citizens Against Government Waste has said some highly critical things about open source software in the past. They've also pounced on supporters of the OpenDocument Format along the way. Alas, it seems their close ties to Jack Abramoff have drawn the (unfavorable) attention of Senate staff."

Jews?

[Infonaut]

Just because you don't agree with the JEWS (that's what you mean by neocon, right - you totally give yourself away there), it doesn't mean there is anything corrupt about it.

Where in the hell did you find that in the original post?

Toward Tradition was mentioned right alongside the Heritage Foundation, which got its start from the Coors family, hardly a bastion of pro-Jewish advocacy. The fact that some of the leading lights of the Neoconservative movement are Jews doesn't mean that Neoconservatism is a Jewish movement, and it doesn't mean that pointing out financial connections between religious groups (Jewish or otherwise) and Neocons makes you an anti-Semite.

I agree with you that interest groups are part and parcel of democratic governance, but I don't like the Neonconservative movement any more than the original poster does. Neocon policies are wrong not because of who advocates them, but because they are harmful to America and to the rest of the world.
