they invited-- I mean, I was reading something about a group in--

Well, not to my knowledge. The only analogue I can think of- which was not the Press Club-- but in early years Lawrence Spivak invited the then Mississippi Senator, Theodore Bilbo, to appear. However, at that time it was not generally known that Bilbo was a Klansman, and Spivak's questions brought it out, that he was a card-carrying Klansman, which did create a bit of a sensation. Spivak may have known it from private sources, to formulate the question, I cannot tell you.

I wouldn't think so.

Why not? Why wouldn't they invite Meir Kahane? Certainly Meir Kahane has done a lot of things to get himself spotlighted. Imagine what the Jewish groups would say if the Press Club invited Meir Kahane! Thoughtful, serious Jewish leaders would be aghast, insulted.
