More partisan smears against Pelosi.

More partisan smears against Pelosi.

The Republican Jewish Coalition highlights the baseless Washington Post editorial in a new 30 second attack ad against Pelosi’s trip to Syria. It contains no mention of the five Republicans who traveled there as well last week. The tag line: “Tough? No. Dangerous and very wrong.” Watch it:

    It’s baaaack.

    TP is gonna fire up the delete machine on this one. I like the people of Isreal, I disagre with their national policy. I bet there are lots of hot Isreali women.

    “And she’s totally a CHICK dude!”


  3. George says:

    Response: another trip. Go to Iraq, Nancy, to discuss distribution of oil to Iraqis.

    Stick it to them.

    Democrats, go on junkets to all the countries Bush has alienated.

    When he complains, do it some more.

    Bush is a huge failure. He can’t lead. Iraq is the proof. Katrina is the proof. Abu Ghraib is the proof. Walter Reed is the proof.

    Democrats have to do it for him.

    That’s the message.

    Welcome to the United States of Israel., or is it China, maybe Dubi…..Blessings, we need them…Peace, demand it….Impeach them all, jail and seize their assets…


  6. Gregor Samsa says:

    Remember: Travel to Syria is ok only if you are a Republican.

    They could probably break you in half. :D


  8. JPark says:

    #5 It seems to be fair to Israelis and Palestinians. They both suck, actually. Israel is pulling ahead for a runaway win with all of the Zionists we have in the US.


  9. wellstoner says:

    I thiink it’s funny that these idiots
    started making this commercial before
    this bullshit got debunked. Now it’s finally
    out and it’s SUCH old news, and SO wrong.

    good lord above, can we talk about anna again?

    Bring it…


  11. ohboy says:

    When will our politicians tell the shitty little state of Isreal and their stupid lobby to get f’ed.

    Hopefully in my lifetime. They have nothing to offer besides smears, and 1/2 truths.

    What a man…. :)


  13. ForTruth says:

    Is it just an extended version of “we’ll help you because of WWII”? Is that why we put our assess so far out for Izzy.


  14. JPark says:

    #11 LOL, I think every straight male within a certain age limit would say bring it on about women breaking them in half :)


  15. shane says:

    Who even knows who authorized the ad. It’s probably Rove and the RNC blaming the Jewish Coalition because they know they’re in deep shit.
    Nothing is beyond Bush, Cheney and Rove.

    The two of you are hilarious. :D


  17. alp3 says:

    Bring it on, straight to the front pages. This dialogue is way overdue.
    What a freakin’ grift… if only people knew.

    The last thing anybody sets out to be, is a sucker…

    Well, I think, you have a basic misunderstanding, there is in fact a dovish Jewish group that is looking for peaceful solution.

  20. the republic of stupdity says:

    This is weird. Am I the only one who sees the word “Reich” when I look at this group’s web address – http://www.rjchq.org? Everytime I just glance at it, subliminally, I see the word “Reich”. Anyone else see it?


  21. (•) says:

    I see the word “Reich”. Anyone else see it?
    Comment by the republic of stupdity

    Well yes,yes I do.


  22. FunMe says:

    HA HA HA!

    When you have “people” attacking Pelosi for no real reason, you know she’s doing something right!

    Those freaks of nature, which I see now includes RepubliCON Jewish coalition, are just jealous and SCARED.

    Living it and LOVING it! :-)


  23. Paul in LA says:

    Wow, she’s pretty even in attack ads. They’re so screwed.

    Keep piling on Speaker Pelosi, because America really does need to see how the right is nothing BUT hate.

    And the ME needs to see that the American government is not the lowest common denominator of all the evil Bushco represents.


  24. Abby says:

    Same tactics but the audience is not the same. Even the stupid know what is going on and, as for the insane 28%, the lunatics are beyond help anyway.


  25. hterrya says:

    No one has mentioned the Washington Post in this sordid affair.

    I have always felt as if I were the only one who has been onto the Washington Post’s hypocrisy of pretending to be a Progressive paper, while keeping a constant regressive editorial policy, since I first started reading the rag in 1968.

    They are now showing their TRUE colors. While the folks at the Post are still filthy regressives, at least they are not hypocrites anymore. They are what the have ALWAYS been, but now they are out in the open!


  26. ace says:

    Karl Rove set this entire charade up in advance.


  27. Clare says:

    This Jewish Coalition is not making a good, legitimate name for itself by attacking world leaders and legislators for visiting and speaking with a leader of a longtime and established sovereign nation. Would they give a damn if Pelosi had visited Thailand? Or Zambia? I do not think this is a very successful strategy, if its mission is to create a community of dedicated and ethical policymakers. I think the organization only comes off as overreactive, whiny, and irrationally overly demanding of American political leaders. Pelosi is not the Speaker of the House to serve Jewish Republicans. She is there to serve this entire country’s needs. While individual groups’ needs must be taken into consideration, diplomacy must always be the first avenue of inter-nation discourse. She owes it to all of us, particularly to our safety, to at least engage in talks with world leaders–even world leaders that some of our allies may not get along or agree with. AND NOT TO MENTION THAT REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WERE ALSO IN SYRIA THAT WEEK. So that group better make an ad attacking their fellow party leaders… even though we all know it won’t.


  28. Gregor Samsa says:

    Ah, reich-wingers and their selective outrage.

    A delegation headed by Pelosi travels to Syria? She is the devil incarnate. Not a word about the Republicans who went with her.

    Two Republican delegations travel to Syria? Total silence from the conservative camp.


  29. Shlomo says:

    Jewish Republican Coalition? LOL Bill Donahue must have a Jewish half-brother. Oh, please Jackie Mason! Shut up with the shtick already!


  30. Hector Garcia says:

    Dat was jewish sc*m of the worst kind.Something the “great” Lie-bermann would be proud of.The good thing is these monsters show their true face.


  31. Perry Logan says:

    As Bill Maher says, “Traitors don’t get to question my patriotism.”


  32. jeff says:

    weird stuff. it’ll just make more people hate israel.


  33. Shlomo says:

    #31. Sounds like you hate Israel enough already for all of us. I suspect you don’t really need an excuse anyhow.


  34. Hector Garcia says:

    Shlomo, everybody in this world hates warmongers.Traditionally israeli politicians have ranked among the worst warmongers of all times.

    Sorry dude but there is just one reality.


  35. tarazan says:

    The PNAC plan pushers are unhappy with a US dialogue with Syria, they like to see our troops fighting in the streets of Syrian cities for years to come…just like we are doing now in Iraqi cities .

    Pelosi need to ignore these people,who seem to have no way out of the current crisis,and willing to get US in another war.

    In her last speech to AIPAC annual meeting in Washigton D.C. she did not receive a warm welcome because she does not support more war mongering against Syria and Iran… Wonder who payed for these ads !!


  36. enaud says:

    Pelosi’s hard work and energy, make aWol the vacationer look worse everyday. At this point the well organized, very loud, right wing noise machine is working 24/7. Pelosi scares them. I do not believe it is working as well as they might wish.


  37. DonS says:

    I’ve been waiting for the AIPAC-related connection to surface. It’s just their sort of seek and destroy mission.


  38. Fools on the Hill says:

    The coalition of war profiteers are coming out of hiding to attack Pelosi. You go girl and she’ll make a fantastic VP or President soon.


  39. Raven says:

    I’m reading a book at present which details the involvement of Isreal as the front agents for the United States in Central America.
    Sickening stuff, the flow of arms and money to the right wing dictators and their death squads.


  40. Dale says:

    Anybody give thought that Rep. Pelosi may be in violation of the Logan Act?


  41. Wiggy says:

    Looked like a good ad to me. The Republicans that travelled to Syria were NOT third in line for the Presidency.


  42. Fools on the HIll says:

    39. Ever read the Constitution? It gives Pelosi authority even though king boy Bush can’t understand it and thus US and Iraqi citizens are rejecting his lame ideas about democracy for the privileged.


  43. Tom Lineweaver says:

    This criticism of Nancy Pelosi going to Syria is nothing more than the right desperately trying to establish traction for a non-issue to divert public attention from the endless stream of real disasters of this administration.


  44. Marie says:

  45. Marie says:

    #39
    It doesn’t apply.


  46. Joe says:

    2 words ….. F#@% AIPAC!!!!!!

    Digg it??


  47. STOP George says:

    .
    .
    .
    Ah yes, the same Syrian president who tortured Canadian Maher Arar after Bushco. sent him to Syria against his will.

    Hypocrisy has no bounds with this criminal administration.
    .
    .
    .


  48. really now says:

    Hey…um, before y’all in the comments start attacking Jews and Zionists, remember that 89+% of them are democrats and progressives. Even though the GOP tried to woo American Jews, they’ve failed miserably.

    Some of you above who hide your anti-Jewish feelings, behind your comments above, ought to watch what you’re saying.

    K, thanks.


  49. marcus robinson says:

    Did Joe Liberman pay for this ad??


  50. Alejandro says:

    Yeah, she also talks to Bush and Cheney who are also responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent victims.


  51. Brendan says:

    They love that photo of Pelosi in a headscarf …

    But Jews and Gentiles alike are supposed to wear yarmulkes or veils if they’re visiting any designated Jewish site.

    Appalling.


  52. Jew School » Blog Archive » Mishegaas says:

    [...] create my own video response to the RJC’s ridiculous attack ad that smears Nancy Pelosi for her visit to Syria, but it already exists. It’s called [...]
