Deceptive Calls Masquerade as Legit 'Polls,' Make Inaccurate, Anti-Semitic Claims Tying Obama to Palestinian Causes...

And, in addition to everything else, the dirty trick push-polling seems to have begun in earnest. From AP today…

MIAMI””Jewish voters in Florida and at least one other state [the other state is Pennsylvania] are being targeted by a telephone survey tying Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama to Palestinian causes, an advocacy group alleged Monday.

The Jewish Council for Education in Research says at least two women in separate states were push polled, or asked questions intended to influence voters while pretending to take a poll, on Sunday afternoon from a caller who said he was from Research Strategies.

As usual, “anything to win” for these guys.

    Push polling aside, I hope we don’t think that it’s a BAD thing for Obama to have a “bipartisan” perspective on the whole Israeli/Palestinian thing. Personally, like most American politicians, I don’t think he does (which is why these particular pushpolls are lies), but if he did…

    Isn’t it time for suit to be brought against these mendacious bastards? Malicious lies are actionable under the libel and defaamation statutes.

    OBAMA = 20 YEARS OF ANTI-SEMITISM AT WRIGHT’S CHURCH, WHO HONORS ANTI-SEMITE LOUIS FARRAKHAN
    Obama has been relentless in seducing America’s youth, and controlling the media. What’s next? … teaching our children to turn their parents in to the Gestapo? These tactics have been used before … and, they’re right out of the Nazi and Islamic/madrassa play books. Wake up America … the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. P.S. SARA Silverman is a disgrace. She uses the Holocaust for laughs in her comedy routine.
