Campaign robocall refers to Sen. Dianne Feinstein as 'traitorous' Jew

[ehrnst]

A robocall against California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein used anti-Semitic slurs and urged listeners to support the campaign of her neo-Nazi challenger.

The 90-second call refers to Feinstein as a “traitorous” Jew and “an Israeli citizen pretending to be an American.”

Patrick Little, who is running as a Republican, is polling at 18 percent behind Feinstein, a Democrat who has served more than four terms in the Senate. Feinstein is polling at 39 percent in the race, which will pit the top two vote-getters in the June 5 primary against each other in the general election in November. Mainstream Republicans have not put up a serious challenge in what is considered a safe seat for a Democrat.

“To rid America of the traitorous Jews like Dianne Feinstein, vote for Patrick Little for U.S. Senator for California,” the call said. “He’s a patriot, a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, and he’s vowed to end Jewish control over America, starting with Diane Feinstein, an Israeli citizen pretending to be an American while she takes our money for her real country, Israel, and kills our children for it, too.”

The call also says: “He’s going to get rid of all the nation-wrecking Jews from our country,” the ad continues.

Little told the San Francisco Chronicle that he was not aware of the existence of the call. He did not renounce its message, however, telling the newspaper: “Show me the lie, and I will consider renouncing it.

1. 18% of people are willing to vote for that

And that's in a liberal state. What would the percentage be elsewhere? It's a large number of people willing to vote for an actual Nazi.

2. "is polling at 18 percent being Feinstein"

I don't think we have much to worry about here.

3. So we need a robocall calling out the Nazi scum taking over our country

It is simply mindblowing that a Nazi, a true Nazi, totally open about being a Nazi can run for office in this country. Just what does that say about us?

4. Don't buy the "polling at 18%." There's a ton of bad polling in state and local elections

And with California's "jungle primary" the polls are particularly bad, to the point of being meaningless when you're talking about a random bunch of cranks with no name recognition, which is largely the case on the GOP side. Reading the Voter's Guide statements from these people has become a biennial comedy event.

5. If I didn't know her, that would be all I'd need to vote for her. Screw those antisemites.
