ADL Condemns "Ugly, Divisive" Pennsylvania GOP Email to Jewish Voters Comparing Rise of Obama to Third Reich

Obama's friends are Reverant Wright the anti white,anti semitic,antiamerican,William Ayers,terrorist who bombed goverment buildings,Resko,criminal who gave Obama a sweethard deal on land,PLO spokesman for Arafat, and donated 800000. to Acorn which is in trouble in 11 states for voter fraud. He also has close communists friends. He is also a Socialist who wants to share the wealth. All these things are reason enough not to vote for that lair.

@ Ed:

As it happens, I *do* know Bryan Rudnick, the consultant who produced this letter. And he's a complete and utter jack*ss who has used shady, if not downright illegal, tactics to push an agenda before. (He hoodwinked Mass voters into signing a petition to support a law banning gay marriage by showing them a false petition about global warming instead. Check him out. Great guy.)

Technically, you're right. This doesn't shame McCain himself. That's fine--he and his unqualified VP nominee have done plenty enough on their own during this campaign to do that.

But it does shed more light on--and bring more shame upon--the ruthless, immoral, vitriolic, spineless hired guns, Republican flacks and yes, even some "conservative" voters and supporters, who will break any law and ignore any taboo to keep the Republicans' grip on power in the face of popular sentiment.

It's not just McCain who's ruining his image in this election. It's major pieces of the Republican Party as a whole.

GOP did not write it!

Obama probably did!!

Shame on the GOP

Oy, Mr. Foxman, I'm so glad you did NOT authorize these vile, repulsive emails because NO ONE should ever have to receive or read them. This is the most disgusting GOP stunt to date. I can only hope that the Jewish families and others who are offended with this type GOP effort will NOT vote McCain because he will continue divisive policies rather than reaching out to all others like Obama has.

McCain and Palin both have the same set of rules [followed by many other politicians in this country] and that is they take everything personally and become vindictive and hold grudges. As a result, they are very vindictive and it reflects when they fire innocent people who do nothing wrong but perhaps have only questioned or inferred other allegiances.

We don't need that type of governance; we have had too much of it in the past 8+ years. I guess when you have NOTHING for a political platform, you resort to the lowest of the lowest forms of slime, evil and sleaze, but that just won't do any more in this country. We know better and the GOP knows better, but they have been doing it too long and will deny it until the very end. Shame on the Republicans!

Foxman himself appears to have somewhat shifted his view of Obama. This is what he told the L.A. Times back in April: “In the context of spending 20 years in a church where now it is clear the anti-Israel rhetoric was there, was repeated, . . . that's what makes his presence at an Arab American event with Said a greater concern," said Abraham H. Foxman, national director for the Anti-Defamation League,” (“Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama,” 4/10/08, with a subheading of, “They consider him receptive despite his clear support of Israel”). This article really is a must-read. It’s quite informative as it looks at Obama’s past actions and associations to try to see where he stands on the Israeli/Palestinian dispute.

John McCain and Republicans are sending racial, fear mongering video, robocalls, emails, etc all over now. Republicans are also doing all they can to suppress voters across the country. Obama plans to have attorneys to oversee at many voter sites. Republicans too. Since the Florida voter suppression & voter irregularities of 2000 & 2004 lots to be concerned about. Republicans have been getting minority voters names and harrassing this year.

What is interesting - no complaints from voters about the democrats. Just Republicans.

They have have gone too far this year. Voting sites must be watched closely. Hotlines now set up & they are now getting lots of reports. Again only against Republicans.

At this rate there will be no Republican Party left to speak of in America after this election is over.

GOOD RIDDENCE!!!!!!!

Typical Republican scare tactics to get votes. But this time they've sunken so low in bring up images of the Holocaust. Only proves Republicans care more about holding office than even the inhumanly evil loss of life of 6 million Jews. This GOP tactic seriously borders on a hate crime. Disgusting.

My THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!!

Get a clue McCain!
This fear mongering MUST STOP!
For the sake of the Nation, please stop this and put Your Country First YOU hypocrite!!!!!

These people are just lucky that they live in America. In many countries they would be thrown in jail for criminal defamation.

If anyone is anti-American it is these people.

Obama's creepy face will be on all the networks at prime-time spreading his propaganda.

He has tried to supress freedom of speech to avoid criticism.

He voted for wiretapping and is against a secret ballot.

He has an O symbol and an O hand salute.

Children chant his name and he has a cult-like following.

Obama's redistribution of wealth?

Reparations for slavery plain and simple.

Where is the outrage over that?

He is making slaves of poor people by making them dependent on him and the government.

What was the specific content of the mailer? and is the correlation relevant? If there are correlations then intelligent people would do well to consider the implications. It is not 'hate' to consider history and how similar circumstances may play our in your country.

There are many analogies showing up between the Bolshevik Revolution's communist takeover and our current situation. Just a quick look at the bullet list on Wikipedia shows that the commies took over the banks (in progress), took over private bank accounts (401k naitionalization is being discuessed), etc.

Everyone needs to wake up free before we wake up slaves. People that do not know history are doomed to repeat it. Are we there yet?

Someone tell me how did the Republicans got a list of Jewish emails? Who keeps such lists? Those are the people to be watched. Is the FBI involved? Was their right to privacy violated? Getting minorities to fight one another is a favorite tactic of the ruling elite. These are going to be rough times.

Typical Republican scare tactics to get votes. But this time they've sunken so low in bring up images of the Holocaust. Only proves Republicans care more about holding office than even the inhumanly evil loss of life of 6 million Jews. This GOP tactic seriously borders on a hate crime. Disgusting.

I got both emails. How convenient for the GOP to send around the smear, then a week later send a disclaimer. Not an apology, but a disclaimer. How convenient.

It was akin to having someone dump a bucket of sewage in my lap and then say, "oops! I didn't mean to."

Get a grip, people.

Blaming McCain for this, because some Republican somewhere did something, is ridiculous. Or, do you think Obama should take the heat for Palin porno (clearly produced by Dems), "Palin is a ####" tshirt (clearly produced by Dems), the "he might die" ads by the Dems Drs, or the immigration ad (oh wait, that one was Obama).

Unless you happen to know the consultant hired to produce this letter and/or know the Republican Party of PA, why do you willingly buy what strangers tells you and then willingly extrapolate it up all the way up to holding someone else accountable? Just because it suits your bias, doesnt make it true.

Of all the negative, divisive, hatemongering, tactics I’ve seen in this election year, I think this is one of the most unconscionable. To take one of the most heinous times in world history, one of the most tragic times in Jewish history, and twist a lie into it to try and get votes is beyond disgusting. To try and promote fear among the Jewish community using lies, deception, and innuendo, is beyond appalling. When is this type of “politics” going to stop? How can a group claiming “morals” not vehemently and loudly denounce this e-mail and these methods of getting votes. This alone should make people vote against the republican ticket. If this is the kind of tactics they use to get elected, what would they do once in office? Is this uniting the country? Is this bringing out the best in people? Is this the type of “leadership” we want? I can’t even think of the appropriate words to denounce what was done. I hope the American people can see this disgusting tactic for what it is.

Godwin's Law prevails again!
