NY Times: Pennsylvania Republicans Send False Anti-Obama E-mail
Edited on Sat Oct-25-08 02:26 AM by JustinL
A new e-mail making the rounds among Jewish voters in Pennsylvania this week falsely alleged that Mr. Obama “taught members of Acorn to commit voter registration fraud,’’ and equated a vote for Senator Barack Obama with the “tragic mistake” of their Jewish ancestors, who “ignored the warning signs in the 1930’s and 1940’s.”

At first blush, it was typical of the sorts of e-mails floating around with false, unsubstantiated and incendiary claims this year.

But where most of the attack e-mails against Mr. Obama have been mostly either anonymous or from people outside of mainstream politics, this one had an unusually official provenance: It was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Republican Party’s “Victory 2008” committee.


How low can the Republicans go? This is loathsome.

1. Times gets it wrong, again:
"Charges against him were dropped in 1974 because of prosecutorial misconduct, including illegal surveillance."

Uh, no. Prosecutors don't conduct surveillance.

The misconduct was on the part of FBI agents handling the case, when it became pretty apparent that they had not only broken the law, but possibly even planted evidence.

2. I wonder how many Communication Directors PA has for McCain's campaign
In the article it mentions a Michael Barley, then we have Peter Feldman who helped push the Ashley Todd mugging story.

I hope this pushes more people away from the Race Baiting Bigots in the GOP for a very long long time.
