Dear Common Dreamer,

I wanted to share with you a news release that we sent out this morning.

Common Dreams has just published an article on our investigation into a case of massive manipulation of the comments under our articles.

I hope you can take the time to read "The Double Identity of an "Anti-Semitic" Commenter."

Thanks for your support,

Craig Brown

for the whole Common Dreams team

NEWS RELEASE
The Double Identity of an "Anti-Semitic" Commenter:

Smearing a Progressive Website to Support Israel




A Common Dreams investigation has discovered that more than a thousand inflammatory anti-Semitic comments following its news stories over the past two years were written with a deceptive purpose by a Jewish Harvard graduate in his thirties irritated by the website's discussion of issues involving Israel.

This commenter successfully drove away hundreds of donors from Common Dreams, a nonprofit dependent on reader generosity.

He  also posted 1,400 times as a black, pro-white anti-Semite on the white-supremacist  website Vanguard News Network, where he encouraged the malevolence of  the neo-Nazi Frazier Glenn Miller, who is accused of killing three  people in Kansas he believed were Jews.
