Macacca's Manager, Waddams launches Anti-Semitic Campaign against Blogs

[KoKo]

Josh Marshall comments that he's received angry e-mails with charges that Webb is anti-Semitic and this is due to his campaign manager Dick Waddams launching an assault on those who revealed that Maccaca's mother is Jewish. Waddams was Campaign manager for John Thune who replace Tom Daschle.

Quote from Washington Post Article:

Yesterday, Wadhams accused Webb's campaign and liberal bloggers of anti-Semitism for raising the issue of the senator's religious background.

Bloggers, some of whom are on Webb's staff, spent yesterday writing furiously about the debate question and Allen's answer. "What does Allen have against Jews?" one headline read on a national liberal blog.

"Introducing religion at all into the debate was inappropriate. It makes no difference what anybody's religion is," Wadhams said.

Wadhams also accused Webb's campaign of mailing an anti-Semitic flier to Virginia voters during the state's Democratic primary this year. That flier depicted Webb's Jewish opponent, Harris Miller, with money coming out of his pockets.

"They have been continuing that anti-Semitic strategy through their paid bloggers," Wadhams said.

JOSH SAYS:
I should have known this was coming when I started getting wingnut emails a couple days ago getting on my case for not calling the Webb campaign out for its "blatantly anti-semitic stereotyping" in the said flyer.

1. It was a Jewish publication that broke it...

So I guess now the Jewish Daily Forward is anti-Semitic?

Edited:

I want to see Harris Miller come out loud and clear to smack this whole anti-Semitic flier thing down too. What a ridiculous smear.
