Interesting enough, this was not the first time Hollings had been accused of anti-Semitism. He had once called [[Howard Metzenbaum]] "the Senator from B'Nai B'rith on the floor."<ref>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/811459/posts</ref> Hollings had been criticized by the [[open-source]] community due to his strict legislative activity with regard to [[copyright]] law (and alleged financial ties to [[Disney]]).<ref>http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/17027</ref>
