A pro-Obama group of rabbis says recent statements by the McCain-Palin campaign are �creeping toward hate speech.�
In a statement released Thursday, the group of 562 rabbis said that �increasingly those speaking on behalf of the McCain campaign have been demonizing Senator Obama as not being like us.�
As an example, the organization notes that a sherriff recently emphasized Barack Obama�s middle name of Hussein when warming up the crowd at a campaign rally and that Palin recently said Obama has been �palling around with terrorists.�
The statement criticizes the Republican Jewish Coalition for putting �forward a list of people known to be hostile to Israel� and then �dishonestly� suggesting that these people shaped Obama�s views on the subject. �The RJC approach harkens back to the classic Republican red baiting tactics of Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon from the early fifties,� the group said in a statement.
