Senator Gives Warning
Of Far-Right Fringe

Los Angeles (JTA) — Republican
Sen. Arlen Specter, has called for
the political defeat of the "far-
right fringe."
In an address to the Anti-
Defamation League's National
Executive Committee, the Penn-
sylvania senator, who is Jewish,
warned that the religious right
represents a threat to both the
Republican Party and the con-
stitutional principle of separation
of church and state.
"I use the term 'far-right
fringe,' not 'religious right' or
`Christian right,' because these
terms give too much dignity" to
the movement "and suggest a re-
ligious war," Mr. Specter said.
`The 'fringe' is really not in the
Christian or Judeo-Christian tra-
dition in practicing the values of
tolerance, understanding and
brotherhood," he said.
Rather, he maintained, it "ad-
vocate(s) the opposite."
Mr. Specter, who is considered
a moderate Republican, estimat-
ed that the far right represents
no more than 5 percent of Re-
publican voters. He bases this fig-
ure on his own primary battle in
1992, in which he narrowly de-
feated his Democratic opponent,
Lynn Yeakel.
ADL officials, who recently is-
sued a controversial report, "The
Religious Right: The Assault on
Tolerance and Pluralism in
America," believe the percentage
of such voters to be considerably
higher.
The ADL report has led to
heated exchanges of letters be-
tween ADL National Director
Abraham Foxman and the Rev.
Pat Robertson of the Christian
Coalition, who is himself sup-
ported by a number of Jewish
conservatives.
A meeting between ADL lead-
ers and evangelical groups has
been set for Nov. 19 to try to
defuse the tensions that have
erupted over the issue.
Mr. Specter criticized the ADL
report, saying it was "painted
with too broad a brush in com-
ments which could be construed
as critical of religious citizens'
participation in politics and pub-
lic life."
But he himself was booed at
the Iowa Republican Convention
when he stressed the importance
of the separation of church and
state:
When he gave instances of far-
right excesses in his address be-
fore the ADL committee, he cited
as an example last June's Texas
Republican Convention, where
some delegates hoisted signs say-
ing "A Vote for (our candidate) is
a vote for God."
Mr. Specter, who was first

elected to the Senate in 1980, said
he learned the value of tolerance
in a pluralistic society from the
experiences of his Russian-Jew-
ish immigrant parents.
In other activities during the
three-day meeting, the ADL it-
self was honored by a group of
Latino public officials, and the
200 participants listened to dis-
cussions on immigration, civil

rights, conflicts on college cam-
puses, the influence of Hollywood
and the Middle East peace
process.
Most of the issues raised at the
meeting will be the focus of ADL's
activities during the next year,
said Foxman and ADL National
Chairman David H. Strassler
during an interview.
The ADL also released a report
during the meeting that says that
a bitter dispute has erupted with-
in the Holocaust denial move-
ment.
The report, "Embattled Bigots:
A Split in the Ranks of the Holo- (
caust Denial Movement," details
the confrontation between the In-
stitute for Historical Research
and its ejected leader, Willis Car-
to.
The dispute revolves around
control of a $10 million bequest
by the deceased granddaughter
of Thomas Edison
In his fight with the institute,
Mr. Carto has blamed a so-called
Jewish conspiracy, the ADL re-
ports.
