Jewish Reform Movement Tells Cons To Stop Blaming Gays For Foley Affair
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/10/100406jewish.htm

The Reform Movement - the largest branch of Judaism in the United States - on Wednesday told a conservative Christian group to stop gay-bashing over the Foley Affair.

Following the disclosure that former Republican Congressman Mark Foley had engaged in a series of sexual emails with teenage pages, Tony Perkins, the President of the conservative Christian group the Family Research Council penned an article for the council and widely distributed by conservative groups titled “Pro-Homosexual Political Correctness Sowed Seeds for Foley Scandal.”

In a letter to Perkins Wednesday, Mark Pelavin, Associate Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, disputed Perkins' claims.

"I urge you to apologize publicly for the disturbing article you wrote," Pelavin said in an open letter to Perkins.

1. The Reformed Jewish movement has no central authority
so by definition the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism can not speak for it.

2. Pro-Homosexual PC?
Why can't GOPers just take the blame for ONE thing? It is so pathetic to watch them spin. The Family Research Council is a terrorist organization.
