I read through the comments, Kat ... such a careful character assasination, all based on the opinions of one or two who claimed to have known him. I have his taped interviews with Bill Moyers (who surprisingly never asked Bill about these anti-semetic tendencies) and I saw Joe speak with nothing but respect for the Hebrew traditions. I have read some of Joe work, as well, and likewise never seen a hint of this anti-semetic streak.I guess I need sounder basis for putting Joe in that category. Guilty by accusation doesn't wash with me.
