    The only Nazi comparisons that you can make with this incident are Pennsylvania Republicans = Julius Streicher (Nazi hatemonger), circa 1935.
    They have NO shame, and deserve NO Jewish votes.
  • LeeinJax, on 10/26/2008, -2/+17Fling outrageous lies and after the damage is done, say "Oops...didn't mean it" This yo-yoing behavior is the opposite of integrity and statesmanship. The Republicans have totally discredited themselves.

    Our country needs strong leadership on both sides of the aisle to be a great country. The Republicans need to get their act together and leave these horrible fear and hate tactics behind--for the good of the country they claim to love.

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

    It wasn't some "activist" it was a Republican campaign adviser on the payroll. You can infer that from the word "fired." You have to be a paid member of the campaign to be fired.

  • poprocksandsoda, on 10/27/2008, -0/+1Sorry there is no public record or reporting of this story in even major Left media news websites. Do you people honestly believe this kind of BS reporting? This is just pure propaganda. Buried.

  • inactive, on 10/26/2008, -7/+2If you actually read the article, you'd see that a *Jewish activist* working for McCain's campaign, and who is *no longer associated with McCain's campaign*, sent out an *unapproved mailing.*

    Why are you cowards attacking the party for something a Jewish activist did without approval, instead of attacking the activist?
