selection, Mangopoulos said "what
Darwin conceptualized, Hitler put
into practice and Planned Parenthood
has perfected and turned [abortion]
into a lucrative business.
"My family understands the torment
and the brutality of fascists and these
evil people," he continued, noting that
both of his grandfathers were murdered
by Nazis during the war in Greece.
"Because of that, we have been
affected in such a way that we want to
stand up for victims, stand up for the
unborn, and we want to say, 'It's
wrong, it's plainly wrong.' Why can't
people see it?" he asked.
Israel's national anthem was used for
"dramatic effect," said Mangopoulous,
who garnered 11,535 votes in the
Nov. 7 election.
A spokesman for Media One
explained why the ads ran.
"Federal law requires broadband
operators like Media One to run polit-
ical ads without restriction if ads for
the candidate's opponents have aired
on the cable system within seven days
of the candidate's request," said Rich
Ruggiero of Media One. "We had no
choice but to air these commercials."
Because the ad is political, cable
operators can't deny a candidate's
request to run them on a particular
network or bury it at 3 a.m. The law
only allows the placement of a dis-
claimer, warning viewers. Said
Ruggiero: "We can't do much, and
what we could do, we did do."

ast week's Michigan U.S.
Senate race between chal-
lenger Rep. Debbie
Stabenow and incumbent
Sen. Spencer Abraham was hotly con-
tested before Stabenow's narrow victo-
ry; and their ads angered each other's
supporters. But another candidate's
ads angered everyone.
U.S. Taxpayers Party candidate John
Mangopoulos ran ads on Media One
cable comparing abortion to the
Holocaust. The Israeli anthem
Hatikvah was the background music as
aborted body parts were shown. The
Anti-Defamation League office received
numerous complaints, said Donald
Cohen, ADL's Michigan Region direc-
tor. The non-partisan agency handled
the complaints, but took no sides polit-
ically. The ADL issued a statement
including Mangopoulos' address and
phone number in Okemos.
Though offensive, the ads are within
the law.
"What I'm trying to do is awaken
people to the horror of abortion," said
Mangopoulos, who was unfazed by
the phone calls he received. "The
abortion clinics of today are Auschwitz
franchises, and anyone who supports
abortions is also a Holocaust support-
er."

sign that disappeared from outside
the Farmington Hills home of Rabbi
Chaim Moshe Bergstein on Nov. 4,
Shabbat.
Along with the sign, the vandals
stole some of the rabbi's faith in the
American way.
Rabbi Berg-stein, director of Bais
Menachem Academy in Oak Park,
said he later found shreds of the sign
strewn across the lawn of the acade-

my, located at least 15 miles away
from his home.
The sign represented Rabbi
Bergsteins personal support for
Michigan's Proposal 1. The ballot
proposal would have granted vouchers
for public school students in failing
school districts to attend any non-
public school that would accept
them. On Election Day, Nov. 7,
Michigan's voters rejected the propos-
al by a 2-1 margin.
