Indeed, it seems to me that this will get unnecessary legs because the McCain campaign seems to think that just getting rid of the sender will fix everything, what about other GOP members who should have noticed?
I want to commend my fellow Dopers for ignoring the opportunity to make tasteless and obvious “brain surgery” jokes. This reflects well on our good taste and probity.
I would expect that the GOP’s PA voter database has fields for any number of demographic categories, certainly including religion. These demographics won’t be based on voter registration, but on data gathered while canvassing in both current and past campaigns. Pulling just the Jewish voters’ email addresses (which certainly aren’t on voter registration forms either) would be a very simple matter.
Look for a lot more of these “unauthorized” messages in the coming week and a half. the volunteers lose nothing when asked to put out this crap, and the paid personnel will be out of a job after the election anyway.
I won’t hold the McCain campaign accountable for this email but I do hold them accountable for the lack of discipline and recklessness of their various operatives. Who is minding their store? It seems like a free for all from my POV. When they’re not slinging mud at Obama, they’re cannibalizing their own party. It’s fun to watch, but I’m running out of popcorn.
Didn’t Palin say this during her debate with Biden?
“Israel is our strongest and best ally in the Middle East. We have got to assure them that we will never allow a second Holocaust, despite, again, warnings from Iran and any other country that would seek to destroy Israel, that that is what they would like to see.”
Don’t try to make sense of anything that idiot says. Between regurgitating faultily-memorized talking points and trying to coalesce the bits and pieces of ideological mumbo-jumbo that passes for facts in her mind, it all comes out a disjointed, poorly thought-out mess.
Do you have any evidence to support your proposition?
Go ahead and post links to all of the times that I’ve taken bizarre positions just to argue for the GOP in one of the countless anti-McCain/Palin threads. You won’t be able to find one. Usually I’m doing something like I did in this thread–pointing out weaknesses in people’s arguments etc.
