JEWISH REPUBLICAN COALITION
This is an organization that is behind the scaring tactics.. they are calling Jewish voters in Florida and telling them Obama is a Muslim.

Let's all give them a piece of our mind.. I just called them and told them to STOP lying to the Jewish community.. the guy on the phone denied that they were lying and said.. "we never lied" "we are a reputable org", so does this means, they really think Obama is a Muslim??

are these people nuts?

Here is their phone number:
Republican Jewish Coalition
50 F Street, N.W. Suite 100 | Washington, DC 20001
Phone: 202.638.6688 | Fax: 202.638.6694

2. here is what they are DOING to descredit Obama with Jewish
voters:

A Republican group is taking responsibility for a poll that has roiled the Jewish community by asking sharply negative questions about Senator Barack Obama.

The Republican Jewish Coalition, which is launching a campaign against Obama on behalf of Senator John McCain, sponsored the poll to "understand why Barack Obama continues to have a problem among Jewish voters," the group's executive director, Matt Brooks, told Politico.

The poll asked voters their response to negative statements about Obama, including reported praise for him from a leader of the Palestinian terror group Hamas and a friendship early in his career with a pro-Palestinian university professor. Some Jewish Democrats who received the poll - including a New Republic writer who lives in Michigan - were outraged by the poll, describing it in interviews as "ugly" and disturbing. A group that supports Obama, the Jewish Council for Education and Research even staged a protest outside the Manhattan call center from which the calls originated Tuesday.

4. WTF? Jews have no problems with Obama. Jews are solidly behind the Democrat
Why does everyone think we Jews are one issue voters on Israel? Joementum and Johnny-boy McLame don't understand Jews at all (which is sad for Joementum).

Jews will vote 90% - 10% for Obama, not matter what.

In a positive way.

5. dont' know..
but that will be good question to ask??

PLEASE CALL THEM!!!.. US DEMOCRATS must start voicing our frustrations and getting organized just like republicans do. I can't believe Olberman was removed from being a commentator on election night just because republicans were "outraged" by his views and opinions..

Why can't we do the same with Faux news? or CNN? Why can't we call MSNBC and demand Olberman be place in that position??
Why do we just typed and do no action?

I e-mailed MSNBC about this and gave them a pieace of my mind.. But i can't do it alone.. They need an avalanche of e-mails.. not just one or two...

8. Only 14% of Jews identify as Republican.
I'm guessing that both of them are in the "coalition."

24. I am Jewish and Every one that I know who is Jewish is a Liberal Democrat.

I find this totally disgusting and frankly, a backlash to these lies can affect all Jews in the US.

25. Actually that's somewhere between half a million and a million...
There are a *lot* of people in the US. Not many of them are Jews, and not many of those are Republicans, and that *still* gives more than half a million Jewish Republicans.

9. Just called. Spoke to a large a-hole.
I said I wanted to talk to him about an article I saw. He yelled "DID YOU READ IT OR DID YOU JUST SEE IT? WAS IT POLITICO?" I said, "no, it was Ha-Aretz (Jewish newspaper)" that totally shut him up. He said it's not "push polling" it is "message reading" to see how people react to different scenarios.

I told him he was a liar who is legitimizing Hamas (he told me that Hamas endorsed Obama, that's a lie). I kept hammering at him "when did Americans start legitimizing endorsements from terrorist organizations?" I said it about ten times, over and over while he was talking (I was talking over him).

What a complete dick.

By the way, I'm Jewish and totally disgusted by this.

12. I am Jewish, and am disgusted by this also. What is ironic is that it is mccain's VP
and her association with the buchanan campaign, AIP, and her particular church that should concern this group

31. We are definitely on the same page. I don't think the Florida Jewish community
will fall for this either

Especially with Wexler there

22. Disgusting - fortunately people seem to be seeing through their tactics
Jewish groups have been protesting about it.

Can't imagine that there are all that many Jewish Republicans anyway!

23. In Israel, they would be part of the Likud Party
They are neo-cons and are a minority in Israel, just as neo-cons are a minority in this country, but have far more control over the government in this country as a result of their tactics.

28. I'm calling Jews around Washington and asking how they would feel if they knew...
Edited on Wed Sep-17-08 12:24 PM by IanDB1
... that the president of The Republican Jewish Coalition raped his own grandmother.

You know.

Just "message reading" to see how people react to different scenarios.
