They actually went there:
"Pennsylvania Republicans are disavowing an e-mail sent to Jewish voters that likens a vote for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama to events that led up to the Holocaust.
"Jewish Americans cannot afford to make the wrong decision on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008," the e-mail reads. "Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake. Let's not make a similar one this year!""

Jeebus, slandering is bad enough, but when you cannot get your slanders straight, that's simply unprofessional. On Thursday the Pennsylvania GOP sent out an email to 75,000 Jewish voters in the state warning that electing Obama could lead to a second Holocaust...The state GOP is now running away from that email as fast as it can. But it isn't so simple: Political consultant Bryan Rudnick was identified as the person responsible for it. Rudnick, reached Saturday night, confirmed that he no longer works ...

that likens a vote for democratic presidential candidate barack obama to events that led up to the holocaust. read more at talking points memo here...and here. the slime and desperation coming from the mccain camp is truly horrifying. if felt for mccain and his family when the bush camp used those slimey tactics against him in the 2000 race. for him to hire those same smear monsters to do the same sort of thing to obama is unforgiveable. senator mccain....just say "no!" to these tactics. just stop the slime.

GOP Mailer In Pennsylvania Suggests Electing Obama Could Lead To Second Holocaust
TPM Election Central —
... The mailer is similar to another viral email smear that has been making the rounds in the state: Last week the Pennsylvania GOP was forced to disavow an email to Jewish voters likening a vote for Obama to the events leading up to the Holocaust. Here you have the same point being made in blazing color. ...
RJC: Obama Will Lead to Second Holocaust
Matthew Yglesias —
... Charming stuff, and following hot on the heels of a Pennsylvania GOP email making similar fearmongering efforts aimed at Jewish voters. Meanwhile, polling shows that American Jews are likely to vote for the Democratic candidate in the same overwhelming numbers we always do. The whole subplot over the past seven years wherein far-right elements whose political views have nothing in common with those of American Jews and whose candidates are rejected by American Jews in staggering numbers pose as the world’s great defenders of Jewish interests has been very odd. Out of all ...
