Pennsylvania GOP Sends, then Disavows, Inflammatory Email


More ugliness from the PA GOP:

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.

"Jewish Americans cannot afford to make the wrong decision on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008," the e-mail reads. "Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake. Let's not make a similar one this year!"

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

It warns "Fellow Jewish Voters" of the danger of a second Holocaust due to the threats to Israel from its neighbors and touts Republican presidential candidate John McCain's qualifications over those of Obama.

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

What does it take, really, for the MSM to stop reporting on this stuff as isolated incidents?

You could write a book on the stuff that has gone on just in the last two months.

They would have to stop being corporate hand jobs.

Kurtz has this up on the front page now with an excellent analysis, especially noting our man Feldman's connection to another PA GOP slime job. The passage from the end of the cited article says a lot:

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.

It would be very interesting to find out who Rudnick is referring to as far as the authorization he received. Feldman, anyone?
