		<title>Comment on Altruism or Astroturfing? by Jesse</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Hebrew Hammer,

First: I apologize for the delay in responding, as I&#039;ve been out of the country the past few weeks.

Second: Thank you for taking the time to comment on an article I wrote two and a half years ago. I&#039;m pleasantly surprised it continues to resonate with people - even if in a negative way. It&#039;s nice to know one&#039;s words - no matter how ultimately insignificant they may be - have lasting power.

Third: You strike an arrogant and sarcastic tone throughout your response to my post, which ultimately amounts to an ad hominem attack by you on what you think are my motives in writing (that I apparently &quot;just like to hear [my]self speak&quot;). As such, I should probably just have ignored responding to you in the first place, but you dug up some old bones here, so let&#039;s continue, shall we?

Fourth: Let&#039;s address the little constructive response you had to my argument. At no point did I ever argue that B&#039;nai Brith&#039;s or Federation&#039;s or the CJC&#039;s efforts were part of &quot;an altruistic political scheme.&quot; My original post, along with others on the same theme, called out B&#039;nai Brith Canada for labeling itself and its efforts as &#039;grassroots.&#039; I think here and elsewhere I&#039;ve done a pretty good job at proving why that&#039;s balderdash. If you want to take the time to argue why B&#039;nai Brith can legitimately call itself a grassroots organization, by all means, I welcome your response. For now, the burden of proof is on you.

You write that you &quot;believe the choice to use the word ‘grassroots’ was more of a marketing effort than an example of an intrinsic political movement.&quot; I wholeheartedly agree that using the word &#039;grassroots&#039; was a marketing decision. And it was a dishonest one at that. Which is what prompted my original post. See above for more on that.

Fifth: You close by (sarcastically? smugly? honestly?) wishing me luck and warning me about the hazards to furthering my &quot;cause.&quot; I&#039;m not sure what cause I&#039;ve ever said I have. I certainly don&#039;t think I have one, aside from occasionally calling out others on their BS. Perhaps you should take a look at the &quot;Disclaimer&quot; that appears at the top of my blog, which states: &quot;This blog is a work in progress. I try and write about things that I think are interesting not only to myself, but to others as well. Call me out on things that don&#039;t make sense.&quot;

Instead of your sanctimonious response to my two and a half year old blog post, why didn&#039;t you just accept my invitation to call me out on whatever you think doesn&#039;t make sense, and we could have had a civil discussion/argument over the facts?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jesse, your writing is excellent but your thought frame is fundamentally wrong.  You are foolish to think that this fundraising efforts / marketing campaign appeal to an altruistic political scheme by those behind the scenes of the fundraising efforts.   I respect your opinion but have to disagree.  The words written by B&#039;nai Brith in support of the Haiti fund were eloquent and very well articulated.  I believe the choice to use the word &#039;grassroots&#039; was more of a marketing effort than an example of an intrinsic political movement.  Though I can appreciate where you are coming from, I think you are taking this a little too far and really just like to hear yourself speak.  I wish you best of luck with your publication but I can assure you taking stabs a local and national fundraising efforts is not going to further your cause.  

Good luck Jesse.  You will need it.]]></description>
