More details on Pelosi smear group.
Jane Hamsher has more details on the Republican Jewish Coalition, which is bankrolling a series of attack ads on Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) over her trip to Syria: “The board is quite the rogues gallery and includes Ari Fleischer, David Frum, Sheldon Adelson, Lewis M. Eisenberg and Ken Mehlman. They also financed ads for Lieberman during his senate race, and has some lovely overlap with the Scooter Libby Defense Fund.”

April 11th, 2007 at 5:20 pmHey TP could we get a thread about this…
http://www.politicalforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=28539
Its all based on a NYTs article by Bob Herbert titled “6-Year-Olds Under Arrest”
April 11th, 2007 at 5:23 pmWhy are they doing this? Speaker Pelosi did noning wrong. What about the Republican that went before her and after her? I don’t get it.
April 11th, 2007 at 5:24 pmSounds like the criminals are at it again!
April 11th, 2007 at 5:27 pmWasn’t there an attack ad that Ken Mehlman funded against Ford and then said he could not pull it?
I think there needs to be criminal charges filed against these criminals.
April 11th, 2007 at 5:32 pmjail them all…………..
April 11th, 2007 at 5:41 pmThey also financed ads for Lieberman during his senate race, and has some lovely overlap with the Scooter Libby Defense Fund.
Not surprised one bit.Remember Lieberman injecting racial politics into his race against Ned Lamont.They have no shame nor conscience.The same folks who are quick to point out there is no racism in our America turns around & support racism to win public office.
April 11th, 2007 at 5:50 pmAs an interesting side note, the Republican Jewish Coalition is censoring comments they don’t like on their YouTube page. I left two comments earlier today that are now both gone. The first was about the hypocrisy of not mentioning either the Republican delegation or the Iraq Study Group. The second was about Gingrich and Hastert undercutting Clinton’s foreign policy in 1997. They have both been deleted.
Out of the 15 total comments (according to the bottom link), only 11 remain — I remember one other that didn’t mindlessly cheer on the message in the video, leaving one comment unaccounted for. They have also since changed the open comment setting to a pre-approved one.

April 11th, 2007 at 6:01 pmNow THERE’S a conspiracy!!!
NOW, does this group believe the HOLOCAUST exists? THAT would be an interesting tidbit of information, especially since they (REPUBLICANS) do not believe in other realities and have the resemblance of a party that was led by a man with a small mustache….
Hmmm…Hypocrisy anyone???
April 11th, 2007 at 6:02 pmIt is breathtaking how low the Republicans will stoop (obviously, I’m not referring only to this issue). For no logical reason they appear to be scared to death of us liberals (apparently they project their penchant for doing evil unto us) and so in their minds they seem to believe that anything goes in order to protect themselves and “their” country from us big bad liberals. Apparently this is all driven from their being scared shitless. Poor fraidy-cat babies.
April 11th, 2007 at 6:11 pmAssad must be in on this evil conspiracy as well.
April 11th, 2007 at 6:22 pmyou know, if that’s the republican’s big secret weapon, choose jewish operatives so they can hide behind the spector of anti-semitism every time they {choose your indiscretion}, and possibly to pick up the rapture vote, then the rest of us really don’t have much worry about, i don’t think. however don’t think i’m saying things aren’t so bad. this government by of the poor bastards, by the stupid bastards, for the lucky bastards can’t perish from the face of this earth soon enough.
April 11th, 2007 at 6:26 pmRegardless of who is sponsoring the attack, the Dems/Progs need to launch a counter offence right now. Note, I said OFFENCE, not a defense.
April 11th, 2007 at 6:35 pmNancy 2008. I LOVE this woman.

April 11th, 2007 at 6:38 pmThey also did work against lieberman, back in 2000.
April 11th, 2007 at 6:52 pmSo when do we hear the opinion of the Republican Syrian Coalition about all the weaponry US has sold to Israel in order to kill Palestine and Lebanese civilians?
April 11th, 2007 at 7:01 pmas opposed to the millions of us dollars given to the Palestinian Authority that Arafat & Abbas squandered from their own people not building hospitals and schools?

US aid to palestinians – millions?
US aid to Israel – BILLIONS for arms, bulldozers, land grabs, tax-free trade agreements with favorable exchange rates, illegal settlements.

April 11th, 2007 at 7:12 pmHi Juan C.
April 11th, 2007 at 7:15 pmI’m reading a book “The Tooth and the Toe Bone” by Martin Prechtel. Primarily about his life in Guatemala, he has some very interesting anecdotes about how the US used the Isreali’s and big business to arm, train and equip the various right wing dictatorships and military regimes in South and Central America.
Now how does one respond to this without sounding anti-Semitic? When are the American people going to wake up and see that there really is a Zionist/Jewish agenda (see the very Jewish NYT publishing of Judy Miller et al) that does not seem to be in the interests of the common Gentile American electorate. Sometimes it seems as if the Neo-Conservatives (what Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now program reported as being synonymous with Israel, per a quote of George Bush the Elder) are turning the United States into another Middle East of sorts, divided by religion and conquered by Israel.
April 11th, 2007 at 8:17 pmAre the interests of the Jewish people of America increasingly at odds with the interests of the Gentile people of America? And since the Jewish people of America tend to have a greater financial footprint in America than the majority of Gentile Americans, does that variance result in a dictation of policy at odds with that if the Gentile people of America?
April 11th, 2007 at 8:23 pm#5 Yup, that racist Playboy mansion ad (the one with the white slut saying “Call me”. It was bought and paid for by the RNC and Mehlman said he couldn’t do anything about it. He lied just as easily about that as he does about his sexuality.
April 11th, 2007 at 11:01 pm#21 No, Shirley, the interests of the American people are increasingly at odds with the Israeli government. Stop crapping on the mostly liberal Jewish American.
April 11th, 2007 at 11:09 pm#21 By the way, the Gentile American that you describe can take a nice tea bag.

April 12th, 2007 at 1:01 amPelosi should realize that the ultra-Zionists in America will punish her for daring to do diplomacy with Syria. They want all out war on Syria, and Iran, and they do not care if it causes nuclear WWIII killing us all.
April 12th, 2007 at 1:09 amone tiny ray of hope, they appear to be dipping from the same pocket…
April 12th, 2007 at 2:07 amAri Fleischer, David Frum, Sheldon Adelson, Lewis M. Eisenberg and Ken Mehlman should all be interned. Its a time of war and these traitors are only loyal to their trouble making ZIonist entity. We punished Japanese_americans during WW2 for less mischief.
