Adbusters is a virulently anti-Semitic magazine.
2 years ago they ran a list of Jews who worked for the Bush administration in an attempt to "prove" that the Jews started the war in Iraq because they are more loyal to Israel than to the US
This summer they ran an article about Elliott Abrams that focused on the notion of dual loyalty. This is a classic anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic canard - in the 1960 presidential election, JFK was smeared by people who claimed he'd be more loyal to the Pope than to the US. The same smear is still used against Jewish and Roman Catholic politicians today. There are many reasons to dislike Elliot Abrams, but suspicions that he is more loyal to Israel than to the US is not one of them.
The Adbusters article was written by a man who had once been a respected journalist, but went off the deep end after 9/11, turning into a conspiracy theorist. This journalist (who you can find via Google- don't want to put his name on here and attract his followers to Adverganza) runs a website that overflows with positive commentary from Aryan Nation types. That's where the article in Adbusters first ran.
