The pathetic stench of desperation, PA GOP style
Pennsylvania GOP Disavows Inflammatory E-Mail
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.</em>
Please, try and lose with at least a shred of dignity.
