02 September 2004Several Jewish groups are offended by the podium and adjacent gavel stand being used at the Republican convention because they bear images of crosses, reports Reuters. "'This wooden cross must be at least three feet (one meter) tall, and it sends a signal of exclusivity loudly and clearly,'" said Ira Forman, executive director of the National Jewish Democratic Concil. Convention spokespeople declined to comment, but Karl Rove told CNN he didn't see the likeness. "'My God, where do they come up with this stuff? Does it look to you like it's a cross? I don't think so.'"
