Jim Moran (D., VA 8th Dist.) is one of the more progressive people in Congress, particularly about war and peace issues in the Middle East. His criticism of Sharon's policies have made him the target of particularly bilious character assassination from pro-Likkud groups and well-funded opponents who appear to be backed by AIPAC and other Right-wingers.

Here's an example of an e-mail I received a couple days ago from a self-described "Dems Against Moran" group:
