The Tennessee Republican Party has written a press release entitled "Antisemites for Obama" decrying Obama for being praised by Louis Farrakhan, for wanting to withdraw from Iraq, for having "anti-semitic" advisors, and for "pledg[ing] to hold a Muslim Summit to determine Middle East policy with the very leaders that have as their goal to remove Israel from the map, referenced Jews to be 'dogs' and 'pigs.'" This press release is offensive, inaccurate, and makes a mockery of Jews' REAL fight against anti-semitism. While synagogues burn, suicide bombers attack, and neo-Nazis deface Jewish graves, the Republican Party falsely accuses one of our strongest allies, Barack Obama, of being an anti-semite!! Obama has repeatedly stood up for Israel and against anti-semitism, including blacks' own prejudice. Look below for how you can help combat the hate!
Contact the Tennessee Republican Party and let them know what you think.
Help alert Jewish organizations to this issue so they can take these bigots to task for their lies and for the damage they are doing to the real fight against anti-semitism:
Anti-Defamation League
American Jewish Committee
American Jewish Congress
Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism
The Jewish Federation of Nashville
National Jewish Democratic Council
*** UPDATE ***
The link above to the Tennessee GOP site's press release now reads "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria." Maybe even bigots have some shame deep down inside? Problem for them is we're not going to let this disappear. News media in Tennessee have reported that the state GOP has defended its "Antisemites for Obama" press release!
