An article, picking up an Associated Press story, has reported a hateful e mail was sent from the offices of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania to 75,000 Jewish voters, warning them of the danger of a second Holocaust if Senator Barack Obama is elected.
Peter Feldman, the same Republican spokesman who provided graphic details to reporters at KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, when asked questions regarding the hoaxed attack on Ashley Todd, was quoted as saying, that Senator John McCain " .... rejects politics that degrade our civics.".
Bryan Rudnick, a political consultant, has been identified as the person who wrote the email. He no longer works for Republican Party of Pennsylvania.
Another spokesman for the organization, Michael Barley, states the organization " .... did not authorize that e-mail", a fact disputed by the admitted author, Bryan Rudnick.
From the article:
Political consultant Bryan Rudnick was identified as the person responsible for it. Rudnick, reached Saturday night, confirmed that he no longer works for the party, which employed him a few weeks ago as a consultant to do outreach to Jewish voters.
"I had authorization from party officials" to send the e-mail, Rudnick said, but he declined to say who had signed off on it. "I'm not looking to drag anyone else through the mud, so I'm not naming names right now," he said.

McCain has run an outright racist campaign. I'm glad he was nailed on the Ashley Todd race bating. I am disturbed that McCain and Palin would take the word of a women who is accusing a black man of a crime without reservation.

Bob,
Would you be equally disturbed if it was a white man be that she accused? If McCain really wanted to race bait which he has personally never done and in fact denounced then all hell would have broken loose in the campaign. When you say to your supporters, all, stable and unstable, to get in their faces when they say something you don't agree with as the Obama campaign has said, then you give permission for confrontation that is best left to professionals. We have already witnessed one episode in NYC. We do not need any more of this nonsense. It serves no one and no purpose except anarchy.

Karen Hatter,
I hate all this republican propaganda, but truthfully its doing them more harm than good knowing how the average jewish person thinks on such issues I would say 75,000 Jewish voters are going to vote for Obama. Oh I am not the average jewish thinker but I know my jewish peers very well.

She didn't accuse I white man! It was a black man she accsued. Why has it got to be a black man? She's a racist? When Tawana Brawley said she was rapped it was a white man (she was black) get the picture. It will all be over in a few days and all you will move on the another subjuect or pick on Obama after he's in office.

"rejects politics that degrade our civics"
Uh . . . ok.
I think trivializing the Holocaust will not win many Jewish voters.

It is obvious she is a racist. But what is more obvious is that this young women is very sick and need of help. In fact, reports have it that she has had a history of mental illness. This I believe is why no one in any of the two camps have made any statements once all this was revealed.

Hi Babel-Fish,
I am curious how Jewish people think. Where I was raised in NYC and now in Israel I am hard pressed to find any general agreement of how Jews think. I will say that in America Jews vote Democratic in an overwhelmingly. I will also say that the standard joke about 2 Jews discussing any topic will have 3 opinions is pretty healthy grasp of the diversity of thought and opinion with in the community. If I missed something I am open to hearing about it.
