The Anti-Defamation League accused Charlie Sheen of "borderline anti-Semitism" when he called Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre by his Hebrew name, Chaim Levine. But Sheen, via a letter from his lawyer obtained by TMZ, says that's not fair—and demands that the ADL issue a retraction. His lawyer also notes that Lorre has referred to himself as Chaim Levine, and has referred to Judaism as "bull$##*," so the ADL should denounce Lorre, not Sheen, for his "disdain for the Jewish religion."
