I once had the opportunity to meet one of his contributors (don't know if he
still appears there) by the name of Don Feder. Feder at the time was
running columns that were embarrassing to Jews (since he loudly proclaimed
his Jewishness) by claiming that Disney World espoused Communist propaganda
and that the real victims of the McCarthy Era blacklist were patriotic
anti-communists.

I refused to shake his hand and told him I no sooner shake Roy Cohn's hand.
One of my colleagues came up to thank me afterwards.

There are decent people with differing viewpoints -- and, as I say, I have
friends with whom I virulently disagree -- and then there are people who
promulgate hate and lies. That's what he's doing, even if he's merely
reposting the hate and lies of others.
