I just called the ADL’s Bill Nigut for the third time in a week – I finally got him on the phone.

He wasn’t what I would describe as outgoing or overly friendly. ” Do you have 30 seconds for me”? I asked.

“About that” was the very gruff reply. Fine… I got right to the question for which I had called ” I was looking for a comment for several columns I am writing regarding your recent report with my name in it – do you have a comment on the ADL’s use of the word “horde” to describe United States Border Patrol Agents”?

” I don’t have any comment on that” was his answer.

I get the feeling that he will be saying that a lot on his smear attack.
