It's true that Teresa Heinz Kerry is Mozambiquain by birth, multi-lingual, and was widowed of her Republican husband. True that she inherited the Heinz fortune, and she would have been a complete idiot not to insist on a prenup (although Kerry has never been poor).

George Soros is a philanthropist and famously a supporter of liberal causes worldwide (voting in Serbia, HIV education, etc.); I have never heard him called a "hatemonger" before. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (NY Chapter) seems to be a basic anti-defamation league, and I have heard them quoted on National Public Radio, so they probably aren't altogether disreputable. The rest of the accusations sound like the silliest hooey a conservative apparatchik could possibly think up, what with the OMG They Must Be Communists!! accusations.

Now I am trying to think up what "They must be communists" would look like in fannish l33tsp33k. OMG WTF BOLSHEVIKI!!1! KTHXBAI

CAIR is one of the groups that tends to get called for quotes, I think primarily because there aren't many other Islamic groups that are putting themselves out there. I have heard some rather odd things attributed to them. I was paying quite a bit of attention to their website in the month or so following 9/11. They seemed to give credence to the "theory" that the whole thing was an Israeli plot and were trying really, really hard to find evidence that it had something to do with that Japanese group that pulled the chemical attack on that subway about a year earlier.

Oft-quoted? Definately. Communist? Probably not. Reputable? *does that teeter-totter motion with her hand*

Thansk for the links! I'm trying to write a reply to my grandmother with information and sources so she can judge for herself whether or not the anti Teresa Kerry email is credible.

Luckily she's just a bit more broadminded than my dad--so a rebuttal email will probably work.
