Re: AdBusters' Creepy Campaign, Martin Patriquin, Aug. 4.

Kale Lasn's claim that his listing of Jews in George Bush's circle of advisors was not intended to be anti-semitic is profoundly hypocritical.

Perhaps Mr. Lasn might explain precisely why it disturbs him that Jews are in the Bush circle or that they own CanWest. Surely it wouldn't be those old canards about Jews trying to rule the world or Jews controlling the media, now, would it?

Is Mr. Lasn planning to sound an alarm about the number of blacks and Hispanics who are Mr. Bush's advisors? May we expect an expose on the ownership of the Sun Media by French Canadians, with the implicit suggestion that all French Canadians have an insidious agenda to break up Canada?

Perhaps Mr. Lasn feels that there should be quotas on the number of Jews in politics or who may own media. If anyone should be prohibited from being a media boss, it's him.
