At a regional meeting May 31, 1997 at Boston College on globalization run by Naderites, issues of the antimsemitic (and fascist) Spotlight were being quietly passed out. When I asked the meeting organizers to make some comment distancing themsleves from the Spotlight, as well as the John Birch Society (since there was a large stack of JBS magazines on a literature table), I was scolded and told that they were trying to build a broad coalition. This was a meeting that featured Lori Wallach, Pat Choate, and Tonnelson of the anti-union US Business and Industrial Council.
