Arkansas GOP: Help us put a stop to this DIRTY! JEW! LAWYER!

[ck4829]

RWW reported in November on an internal Republican feud in Texas where the Religious Right unsuccessfully tried to push out the Speaker of the House, who is Jewish, in favor of a challenger who was a “True Christian.”

Now, Republicans in Arkansas are using a similar tactic against Democrat Jerry Repham in the race to fill a vacancy in the state legislature. The blog Blue Arkansas found a campaign email from Chuck Chatham, a committeeman of the local Republican Party, which contrasts Republican candidate Bruce Cozart with Repham, a “pro-abortion Jewish lawyer.” He goes on to say that “this is a very important race to anyone who values Christian principles.”

4. I'd also be deceitful for using the word 'pro-abortion'

[cliffordu]

9. Actually, Sir, That Is Exactly The Meaning Everyone This Was Aimed At Took From The Phrase Employed

But of course, you knew that already....

11. Agreed...

If they could have said "dirty jew lawyer" without any backlash they would have. Instead they call him a "pro-abortion jewish lawyer" who will DESTROY CHRISTIANITY FOREVER!!!!!

2. GOP family values:

Misogyny
Greed
Cruelty
Avarice
Stupidity
Bigotry

and the list goes on and on and on and on....

10. Subtly racist, overtly anti-feminist and now anti-semetic.

6. How long has he been practicing jewcraft?

(a rephrased joke I heard from a jewish comic who moved to the south)

[Angry Dragon]

7. Logic seems to be something that republicans do not have a lot of

Christianity = equals a belief in Christ = Jesus = Jesus was Jewish = but for republicans it means they hate jews so that means they hate Jesus so that means that they hate their beliefs so that means they hate themselves

8. They're voting in Hot Springs today. Special election.

[The Wielding Truth]

12. And they compare us to Nazis. Project much?

First they came for the Jews. Next line they came for the trade unions.For people who lived in those times this must be unfathomable. It frightens me. When I heard of the McCarthy era I thought it was long ago but it happened after WWII in much the same way these teabaggers are pushing the "true Christian" thing.
