Republican ad targets Steve Israel for supporting #OWS (Occupy Wall Street)
The National Republican Congressional Campaign has gone after Representative Steve Israel (D-NY) for supporting the anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street movement.Let's go to the videotape.
Israel is furious. This is from an email he sent to supporters on Friday:
Today they hit a new low.Well, Steve, when you support a movement that's full of anti-Semites, founded by anti-Semites, funded by anti-Semites, and has anti-Semitic overtones, is it unreasonable to question your loyalty to your co-religionists?
The extreme right wing has launched an outrageous attack to distract us from their reckless economic policies: They are questioning my commitment to my own religion.
Hard working people are standing with middle income families across the country who are angry about Republican policies that failed them. The American people are outraged, and they have every right to be.
In response, over the last 24 hours, National Republicans have started personally attacking me by questioning my commitment to my own Jewish community.
I’m proud of my Jewish faith and heritage, of my leadership for Israel’s safety and security and my strong fight against the serious threats of anti-Semitism. It is outrageous that national Republicans are questioning that.
Please stand with us and sign our petition to the NRCC and Washington Republicans to stop the disgraceful attacks and start a real debate about jobs and how we can move America forward.
They’re attacking me to try to silence you -- because they think it’s wrong that you’re frustrated and even angry about what Republicans are trying to do to this country. The personal attacks they’ve launched on me for standing with you are nothing in comparison to the hardships faced by middle income families across America every day.
Americans deserve a debate about our ideas. They deserve answers and solutions that rebuild the middle class and restore the American dream. They deserve representatives that make the middle class a priority again.
They can come at me as hard as they want, but I’m not backing down. Will you continue to stand with me? Stand with us today.
Your Friend,
Steve Israel
There's a lot more here about who is behind Occupy Wall Street. If you're a Jew, Occupy Wall Street should make you sick.
