Pennsylvania GOP disavows inflammatory e-mail

Apologies if this has already been posted. I didn't see it on the board.

PHILADELPHIA --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."

Fear tactics: It's all they have, and all they'll ever have.

5. Exactly...

Obama should sue their asses for defamation of character. That is the only way to fight these kinds of lies and character attacks. People will keep doing it, then "disavowing" it, and then finding some other attack to use and then "disavow."

3. The PA RNC Was Pushing The Fake Ashley Todd Attack To Create A Race War

There really is not anything that they would not do to steal the election.

6. I am astounded by the subterranean level the GOP is plumbing.

It truly is awful. It's making the past eight years' electioneering look like grade school antics.

8. What kind of an idiot credits a party committe for emails like that?

Seriously, "Paid for by the Republican Federal Committee of PA - Victory 2008.", are outrageous attacks like that stuff you want yourselve associated with.
