1. sue the heck out of 'em!
nadav ,   tlv   (08.09.12)
those pro Obama fools are causing the demise of Jewish civilization!
2. Adelson is a dangerous person for every jew
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (08.09.12)
The more he appears publicly in the media, generates more antisemitism among americans. To be a casino mogul is not a honest profession for most of people, included myself. Be modest and transfer your casino empire for a gentile !
3. #2,America is not jealous of rich people ,he is a success
ab   (08.09.12)
The smear campaign is orchestrated by Bambi supporters who can't somehow explain financing of his expensive Uni studies..Casino perhaps ? Poker playing ?
4. They deserve it. Libs can't argue, just attack the person.
Yaniv ,   Israel   (08.09.12)
5. #2 At least
Isac   (08.09.12)
Adelson has the guts to confront the annoying liberal Jews. What do you care that he is in the casino business. In today's times casinos are businesses as any other large business. Therefore there is absolutely nothing wrong being the owner of a casino.
6. No 2 - Its cowards like you...
Viroman ,   London, England   (08.09.12)
that a dangerous for jews - antisemitism is always there regardless, in your opinion should every successful jew in the world keep a low profile so as not to 'generate more antisemitism'. pathetic. its people like Adelson who i admire, who stand up for what they believe in tooth and nail, who understand that the best thing America needs right now in such troubled times is a Republican president who isn't afraid of making tough economic, domestic and foreign policy decisions.
7. adelson
yakov ,   nahariya/london   (08.09.12)
Is a self hater rightist neocon who, like all the messuganas of the right, intent in taking the whole Jewish people down with him. Enough!" Day la kibush!!!!
8. Sheldon Addelsheis
Eli ,   Israel   (08.09.12)
How come he has orange hair? Is the owner of so many casinos a moral force? If he is Jewish, isn't that something to be ashamed of?
9. #3 - Bambi? This isn't Brasil. Also, uni costs are high
Henry from New York ,   USA   (08.09.12)
because of federal loans.
10. Only defame poor defenseless people
michael Pielet ,   israel   (08.09.12)
Be careful who you defame.
11. Shalom, Yakov, Shalom
The Prophetess ,   FL, USA   (08.09.12)
Yakov, take some advice form a Jewish Conservative Republican woman who is undoubtedly old enough to be your Ima, if not your Bubbie: Try thinking independently for a change, and stop spouting media-pop chazzerai like "neocon" and "self-hater" and "rightist." If anything it is we Conservatives who strive to keep World Jewry alive by NOT capitulating to our sworn enemies. Grow some baytzim, Bubelah, and join the fight.
12. It probably happened
Josh   (08.09.12)
He probably knew and probably benefited from it, but before you can claim something, you should have some proof. Otherwise it IS defamation. But the same group should investigate human trafficking, organ harvesting and other operations. Sweep your own doorstep first is a good policy but stopping human trafficking is an exception. Or am I missing the nature of their attack? They should care about people as much as they do about politics.
13. To 3, 5, 6.
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (08.09.12)
The jewish religion forbids all kinds of gamble. How can be than a jew a casino mogul ? Be succesful in high tech industry and not in immoral criminals.
14. #2- What a stupid comment !!!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (08.09.12)
What a racist statement. Adelson is a great success and as usual you gentiles can't stand our success. If he were christian he would be a hero. I guess its ok for gentiles to preach racism, steal and lie. Adelson is a hero and great conservative Jew.
15. Make liberals pay for their vicious, dishonest attacks.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.09.12)
I wish Adelson the best of luck in his lawsuit. It's about time liberals were forced to pay the price for their slanderous and liebelous attacks against those who don't share their beliefs. Make liberals pay dearly for their vicious, dishonest attacks.
16. Not Jewish group, like J-Street, was founded by Obama's DNC
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (08.09.12)
Operatives of the Democratic National Committee founded both J-Street and the "National Jewish Democratic Committee". They are fake Jewish organizations run by the DNC for the benefit of the Obama White House.not for the benefit of the Jews of America. No other race, religion or ethnic group in America is directly manipulated by the Democrat Party [or any political party] the way the Obama crowd manipulates and tries to control the Jews. That is where their "Jewish support" comes from. We need to cast off this yoke, and cast out the self-styled "Jewish Leaders" who collaborate with it.
17. #16. I hope the N.J.D.C. goes bankrupt.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.09.12)
#16 Dr. Brnd, as you note, the National Jewish Democratic Committee is anything but Jewish. It is a bunch of pseudo-Jewish hacks shilling for the most Jew and Israel hating U.S. President Israel ever faced. I hope Adelson succeeds into suing this despicable group into bankrupcy.
18. Who cares ?
Marcelo ,   World   (08.10.12)
IsnĀ“t more important things to write about in a newspaper, due to many important things happening around the world ?
19. American politicians and foreign policy
Bill ,   USA   (08.10.12)
controlled by a greasy-looking casino-running billionaire .... this is the USA in the 21st century. The founding fathers must be rolling in their graves.
20. njdc: condemns itself by slanders of a good man
rick ,   walnut creek   (08.10.12)
Sheldon Adelson sh"y has done more for the world, Jews and non-Jews, than any of the despicable, hateful, slanderers. how many thousands of people does Adelson employ? njdc was willing to spread scurrilous gossip for some trivial, transitory, political advantage and by that njdc has discredited itself. Adelson's contriibutions can't be diminished by the guttersnipes of njdc.
21. Adelson
Gene Graczyk ,   Santa Rosa, CA USA   (08.10.12)
The charge came in a court case involving one of his top legal people, as I understand it and is NOT therefore something the NJDC alleged on its own. Adelson will have to prove that it is not true in that legal case. If it is found to be true, then Adelson only brings shame to the Romney campaign which is shameful enough on its own. This is another case of the one very rich man trying to use his money to force profitable changes in federal policy. That is not how one should govern a country. And, let Adelson answer the governments in SIngapore and China--there are charges of bribery that have to be dealth with. Clean hands? The law will decide...
22. Here is the isue
Mea   (08.10.12)
He tried to buy the presidency, period. That is what makes Adelson look like an A #1.
23. #13
mark ,   ca   (08.10.12)
Yeeep...be succesful in high tech industry and run porn sites...:-))
24. #19
mark ,   ca   (08.10.12)
"..The founding fathers must be rolling in their graves..." Sure. pelosi, reed, big o.....
25. Adelson
Albi ,   Ashkelon   (08.10.12)
Adelson is every antisemite's greatest gift. Jewish money buying the government.
26. Don Rosenberg
Walt K ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (08.10.12)
It is not a religious or an ethnic question who disturbs # 2 from Hungary, but Istvan is so hunger for $ that he was caught by an ancient desease called communism.
27. Ciao ciao CEO Adelson
vegas ,   macau   (08.10.12)
Thank you for developing gambling and ruin
28. NJDC ADMITS charges are untrue, won't apologize saying
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.10.12)
slander is covered by the First Amendment. First they should not be allowed to call themselves Jews and second their treasury should be emptied for failing to retract their lie.
29. the moon is the venus
(08.11.12)
Casino-buzz is honest, is the same, like telling the moon is the venus. And 26 two-si. - YOU can never ever slam with your words (not argues) a honest writing person like Istvan ! and our jewish values - because the jewish religion really forbids all kinds of gamble ! Why ?
30. Talkbacks vs Reality
Rube Vogel ,   Jerusalem   (08.11.12)
Either he did it and is a pimp, or he didn't and he was defamed. Not one of you commenters here have any idea which is the reality but this doesn't stop you from giving an uninformed opinion.
