Pennsylvania GOP disavows inflammatory e-mail(links Obama to to events that led to Holocaust)
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 08:32 AM by maddezmom
Source: AP

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Pennsylvania Republicans are disavowing an e-mail sent to Jewish voters that likens a vote for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama to events that led up to the Holocaust.

~snip~

A copy of the e-mail, provided by Democratic officials, says it was "Paid for by the Republican Federal Committee of PA - Victory 2008."

~snip~

State GOP officials disavowed the e-mail and said the strategist who helped draft it had been fired.


The McCain campaign also repudiated the e-mail. Spokesman Peter Feldman said Saturday night that McCain "rejects politics that degrade our civics."

Political consultant Bryan Rudnick was identified as the person responsible for it. Rudnick, reached Saturday night, confirmed that he no longer works for the party, which employed him a few weeks ago as a consultant to do outreach to Jewish voters.

"I had authorization from party officials" to send the e-mail, Rudnick said, but he declined to say who had signed off on it. "I'm not looking to drag anyone else through the mud, so I'm not naming names right now," he said.

Peter Feldman might have his hands in this as well.

It is not enough to just can these creeps when they step over the line. The parade of losers they willingly bring into the fold, only to (sometimes) can the worst of the worst shows who they are. This GOP barrel is ALL rotten apples.

5. Yes, but the Obama campaign has fired a lot of losers, too, I mean
haven't they? Haven't they?

I mean, aren't there Obama "strategists" sending out "authorized" emails claiming John McCain't started the Holocaust and cancelled Christmas and took babies out of incubators and....

Okay. All :sarcasm: aside, have ANY Obama staffers, aides, volunteers, supporters been fired, arrested, or anything else in connection with nasty and untrue campaigning? I'm sure there must be some. No one and no campaign is perfect.

I think we need a list that we can give to the McCain't campaign so that every time a member of the media brings up just how slimy the McCain't campaign's tactics are, they'll be able to defend themselves by naming names from the Obama campaign. I mean, it's only fair, isn't it? since the media is bringing this up all the time.


Yeah, right.

:sarcasm: back on, just in case.

3. Not just the Holocaust
But Hitler's rise to power
The Sinking of the Titanic
The Assassination of Lincoln
The Spanish Inquisition (which nobody expected)
The Black Plague
The Catholic/Protestant Schism
Man's Fall from God's Grace in the Garden of Eden

Obama can be linked to ALL of these.

9. The Republican Downfall will be tied directly.....
to their inability to control their racist leaders and supporters.

The ever loosening grip on the levers of power is turning their controlled whisper campaign and code word usage into overt race baiting and fear tactics, turning off the middle.

The Reagan legacy of "it's OK to be a racist so long as you don't use the words" may finally be over.

10. Under pressure as they roll over
we get to see their underbelly.

I think it's good for people to finally see who these creeps really are.
