GOP Mailer In Pennsylvania Suggests Electing Obama Could Lead To Second Holocaust
A reader sends in a nasty mailer that just hit Philadelphia-area in-boxes, blasted out by a GOP group called the Republican Jewish Coalition, suggesting that a vote for Barack Obama could lead to another "tragic outcome" for the Jewish people.
Click on the image to enlarge:
"Concerned about Barack Obama? You should be," the mailer warns. "History has shown that a naive and weak foreign policy has resulted in tragic outcomes for the Jewish people."
The mailer helpfully notes that the image is a pic of Obama speaking in Germany.
That's the first page of the mailer, and according to the reader, the second page (which we don't have) goes on to hit Obama as weak and naive over his willingness to meet with hostile foreign leaders and his allegedly anti-Israel advisers. The mailer is a reprise of an earlier print advertisement that the group ran that made those points.
The mailer is similar to another viral email smear that has been making the rounds in the state: Last week the Pennsylvania GOP was forced to disavow an email to Jewish voters likening a vote for Obama to the events leading up to the Holocaust. Here you have the same point being made in blazing color.
In the words of W - Bring it on.
Barack Obama will be the next POTUS and all this shit does is discredit the Republicans even further.
Every dime they spend on this crap is less money for the next round and is simply wasted. (I suppose it isnt wasted as it helps the printing industry and we can use all the stimulus we can get...)
I can't wait to hear Hail to the Chief played for Barack Hussein Obama. I hope he uses his full name at the inauguration.

Time to get out there, and talk at length about just what Bush's foreign policy has accomplished. Maybe cut an ad or two, and run it in battleground states to remind people just how "steady" a hand McCain really has in an actual crisis.

This is despicable. I want McCain to lose, and lose big, for any reasons, but one of the chief ones is that perhaps it will mean the end of such outrageous tactics.

I remember there once was a man running for the Presidency of the US and there was a question concerning his religious faith. The man was JFK and his religion was Catholicism. The self-proclaimed faithfull in the US were concerned that he would be taking instructions on governance from the Pope. He had to jump thru hoops to prove he was his own man and not beholden to a ecclesiastic icon of his faith.
I protest the influence of the State of Israel in political processes within the US. There should be legal barriers to stop foreign entities attempting to use American citizen of their faith to influence the voters to elect officials that meet their ideas and views. That's what the concern was over JFK and his faith. It should also apply to Israel too.

Tena, I spoke with the person concerning the rumor about Fitzgerald and as possible AG. They heard on it Hardball. That would have been last week-end. US news gets filtered here so it's a few days later that when you see it in the state.

I truly do believe that this extremist wing of the Repug Party is going to go away.
I think rational conservatives will take over. If not, then the Repug Party is cooked for a century at least - cause they cannot win elections with just Palin's base - the nutjobs. There aren't enough of them. Either the Repugs get real and broaden their base, or they are functionally finished.

So do you think the problem for the "rational conservative" politicians is that they (1) have not exercised sufficient influence within the GOP until now, or (2) that their aggressive efforts to grap and hold political power by stoking the wingnuts failed to anticipate the consequences of allowing the nuts to gain critical mass? I see the situation as the latter. My guess is that the big question for power-seeking "rational conservative" politicians is whether they (1) are willing to remain a minority for awhile as they rebuild a reality-based conservative party or (2) seek power as quickly as possible by mending fences with the nuts while also getting those folks to tone things down a bit. Personally, I suspect they will attempt the second of these two options leading up to the next presidential election, find it virtually impossible, take a massive hit at the polls, THEN pursue the first option.

Yeah, I see it this way too:
Reagan started this; Bush senior took it further (he's the one with the Sung Myung Moon connection) and then Junior went hog wild.
And they never thought for a moment that those people would actually take over because those big money old line Repugs thought they ruled the world.

I live in PA and got a robocall this morning which I at first mistook as a legitimate poll since the caller ID said Natl Poler(sic) 08. I usually don't answer those things but on the chance it was legit I did. A male voice asked several questions regarding whether I had decided who to vote for and whether I was voting for McCain or Obama. Then he asked if I would support a candidate whose top economic advisor was a former CEO of Fannie Mae. Then he went on about Franklin Raines and all that crap and I realized I'd been punked. At that point I uselessly starting yelling how that was a lie and it was McCain with the advisor with ties to Fannie and missed who he said the caller represented. Has any other PA resident gotten this call?

the reason the "culture wars conservatives" can't win anymore is because of US. There has been a generational shift. The post-war/babyboomers came of age during the civil rights movement, the sixties/seventies, the women's movement, lgbt rights, etc........and OUR children are growing up differently...........things ARE changing, because our generation raised their children, for the most part, DIFFERENTLY.
The dickbrains are dying out. Yes, there will always be the REAL base, but it will get smaller and smaller, and wackier and wackier, and more marginalized every year.
Our children couldn't care LESS about what color, sexual orientation, religion, or even political party you are.....they take you as they find you, they celebrate difference......and they are curious.....not afraid...
just my opinion....

I'm not convinced that's the problem. The problem is the Reagan philosophy + the religious right. The Reaganites used the divisions of the sixties to sell their snake oil but their ideology has yet to be defeated. The Democrats are still afraid to even confront it directly.

I disagree. It's definitely a generational change election and that alone will tend to generate an opening for ideological changes but it's not really the same thing. The hard core movement conservatives who sold the ideology of Reaganism were not the Reagan Democrats who were reacting against the social change of the sixties. Those folks were movement conservatives long before and they were successful in taking advantage of the backlash against social change to sell the "survivor" worldview. If you look at American TV you see their success in every show built on the premise that success means throwing every other person off the island until you stand alone victorious. We aren't just fighting the culture of the religious right, we're fighting the culture of "survival of the fittest". McCain's problem is that his message of "country first" is at odds with Joe the Plumber's movement conservative message of "ME first". I'm still not sure what our message is. Oh, I forgot, "change".

Strangely enough, the "history" in the mailer is way off. The mailer seems to argue that FDR's foreign policy was "naive and weak" while in reality America was fighting a two-front war when the Holocaust was happening, and FDR had made a commitment to defeating Nazi Germany first.
And who was opposed to American resistance to the Nazis? Let's see, hum, oh yeh, the Republicans and their naive and weak isolationism! The flyer isn't only offensive, it is the reverse of historical reality! If this is the GOP's idea of historical reasoning, I think everyone should be very, very frightened.

During the 60's, there was the Vietnam war, the draft, the Cold War, the war on poverty, integration, and the start of a 17 year bear market/economic downturn.
Today, there's the Iraq war, Afgan war, no draft, and a severe economic downturn. There's nothing to galvanize their ambitions or political leanings. No one is going to force them to enlist in the military, college tuition is relative easy to get, and they still hang out at the nest while looking for a line of work that pays enough for them to strike out on their own. There's nothing pushing them to make decisions so the repug's are having a hell of a time finding people with an internal fire for them to use to do their bidding.

Talking to friends at a Halloween party last night. They go to church in the Battle Creek, Mich., area. Didn't ask them the name.
They're church-goers but also free thinkers. So they were upset about a sermon they recently saw. The pastor said they weren't to talk about it, it would be "PG-13," and no children could be there (apparently it was some sort of adults' service).
It started with a film with the message that they should only follow one savior (ok, not too radical) but they were showing the back of a black man giving a speech. Not Obama, but the message was clear, my friends said. They had no image of a white gray-haired politician, just a black one.
Then cam graphic shots of abortions.
My friends said others at the church were just as upset. It was blatant brutal propaganda.
I just want to see these freaks eat it. We need a LANDSLIDE for our soon-to-be president.

He knows that if Obama supporters don't think it's close, then it might end up being close. Or maybe he's just afraid of that and/or trying to GOTV because a win isn't good enough for him—he wants to bury the Republicans.

I haven't read the article, but the consistent refrain from the Obama campaign, and Obama himself is the fear of complacency. No one from the campaign is going to go on record at this point and say anything but that the election is much closer than it appears. No one.
Same with the Republicans. Rick Davis is going to be shouting from the rooftops that the race is getting closer from now until the polls close on Tuesday. To do anything else would demoralize their already not terribly thrilled supporters.

And another thought. We assume, when presented with comments about how close the race is, that they're referring to states like PA, FLA, or Ohio.
Well, the race is close in other states like Arizona, North Dakota, and Montana.

Yeah - but the Obama's lead is not shrinking - it's growing.
I don't know where that is coming from - I'm not calling the election - don't get me wrong.
But man the conflicting messages to already utterly terrified Democrats is hard to take. I'm going with Obama and Axelrod who are both more relaxed and confident than I've seen them in the last 2 years.
November 1, 2008 1:27 PM | Reply | Permalink
I think both campaign are saying what any campaign would say in their respective positions. Davis is going to insist that the polls are tightening, and he'll point to Zogby's number from yesterday and ignore every other tracking poll out there.
He's also going to say that their internal polls indicate it's getting much closer. I see this as motivational. Same with Biden's comments.
I guess the truth is probably reflected in where the campaigns are going to campaign this weekend. Obama isn't going to be in Pennsylvania, at least not yet. That says to me that he and Axelrod and Plouffe are reasonably comfortable about PA. And Biden said as much in that WaPo piece linked on the front page of TPM.
Who the fuck knows at this point?

Back in the '70s, the NY Jets were playing the Oakland Raiders and were comfortably ahead by 2 or so touchdowns with a little over 2 minutes left to play. NBC cut out from coverage of the game to show the network premier of "Heidi". Oakland staged a miraculous comeback and beat the Jets. Since then, Networks don't cut out of games before they are finished.

That is the point where football metaphors break down totally.
What I mean is - in football one big mistake by the other side can carry you over the line very quickly. In an election, there's no fucking way someone can come in days before the election is over and make up that much yardage.
Unless something absolutely untoward was to happen - which would change everything and I don't think so - you can't operate on the idea that something extraordinary is going happen -

I have given you [ Barack Obama ] authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you [ Barack Obama ]. - Luke 10:19
It's time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It's time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !
Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

This is really nothing new I'm sorry to say. I've been blogging about this shit for months. The RJC has published numerous ads like this in all the national & local Jewish press. It's really turning into quite a Hitler fest here in our community. As far as Jewish Republicans are concerned it's all Hitler all the time. That's all they can come up w. as a strategy to confront the Obama juggernaught. In the mean time, close to 80% of Jews will vote Obama.
As a commenter wrote above, this is all entirely wasted money & RJC wastes the same money every two years & every two years proclaims that this will finally be the year Jews turn Republican. ANd every two years they're wrong--again.
