Ohioans are right to wonder how Dennis Kucinich, a vocal advocate for human rights in his years in Congress, can justify accepting a speaking fee from an organization that supports, in the PD's words, "Syrian butcher Bashar Assad." Over the past seven years, Assad's regime has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Syrian citizens and displaced an estimated 11 million. Just last weekend, more Syrian citizens were killed in a chemical weapons attack. Politics aside, it is time for Mr. Kucinich to unequivocally disavow the murderous Assad regime. Ms. Lee C. Shapiro, Regional Director AJC Cleveland
Dennis is a political monster.
