[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Do you feel any of the BDS leaders have questionable backgrounds?[/quote]

I don't know who the leaders of BDS are and I don't care. Nobody should have to pledge to protect another country's interest in order to keep their job.

If that organization is supported and funded by terrorists, we have an American interest as well [/quote]

There are already laws on the books to address terrorist organizations. Would you be willing to sign a pledge promising not to support white supremacists? [/quote]

Of course! Because I don't support any sort of organization that supports and/or hires terrorists and I include white supremacists in that.

BDS is clever - they aren't a terrorist organization but they sure do have some terrorists as members.[/quote]

Rubio's bill doesn't just apply to the BDS organization. It applies to any support for a boycott of, divestiture from, or sanctions on Israel. So even if someone said they don't support the BDS organization because "anonymous" on DCUM said the organization is full of terrorists, but they still refuse to buy Israeli-made hummus, they could be punished by state and local governments.

If you sign a similar pledge not to support white supremacy, it would be up to the State of Virginia to decide what constituted support. In theory, reading Breitbart could be enough to get you fired.

First you'd have to prove that Breitbart has white supremacists on the board/staff, which they decidedly do not. In contrast, BDS has convicted, previously jailed terrorists on their staff, some for murder.[/quote]
