Sheldon Adelson says Jewish group defamed him, seeks $60 million

[Ruby the Liberal]

So THATS how he's going to pay for Willard's campaign. By "wooing" the Jewish vote.

(Reuters) - Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson on Wednesday filed a $60 million defamation lawsuit against a U.S. Jewish political organization, accusing the group of spreading false allegations that he approved prostitution at his Macau resorts.

Adelson, the chief executive of Las Vegas Sands, said in court papers that the National Jewish Democratic Council had mounted a personal campaign against him based on unproven and damaging accounts of his Macau operations. Adelson is a major contributor to U.S. Republican candidates.

The NJDC made "maliciously false and defamatory statements that conveyed to the public that Mr. Adelson personally approved of and profited from prostitution" at the Macau resorts, said the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

The NJDC, based in Washington, D.C., said in a statement that it will "not be silenced" by the lawsuit.

"To be sure, referencing mainstream press accounts examining the conduct of a public figure and his business ventures -- as we did -- is wholly appropriate," the statement said.
