The Times reports that an email is circulating among Jewish voters in Pennsylvania equating a vote for Obama with a vote for Hitler. Because of Ahmadinejad, presumably. That is the same link that emigre to Israel Gil Ronen has made, between Obama and Hitler. The email "equates a vote for Senator Barack Obama with the
'tragic mistake' of their Jewish ancestors, who 'ignored the warning
signs in the 1930's and 1940's.'" The email, says the report on the
Times political blog, was signed by top John McCain backers in the
state. And appears to equate the rise of Hitler in
Germany to Ahmadinejad in Iran. I believe this is the connection that Maurice R. Greenberg is making in the pages of The New Yorker, but which the New Yorker styles as: for McCain because of the Arizona senator's "support for the war in Iraq…" C'mon, let's have this one out. What's the American interest in attacking Iran?

The author of the e-mail is the Pennsylvania Republican Party strategist, Bryan Rudnick. Rudnick's PR company is the Alliance Strategies Group. Another of its clients is Jerusalem.com, a group that "seeks to keep Jerusalem united and to strengthen the city of Jerusalem through education, entrepreneurship, and American tourism."
There was no mention of this aspect of Mr. Rudnicks interests in the New York Times report.
(I'm not going to keep posting this, so pay attention!)
Highly interesting that blog, D. This is definitively someone to watch closer: Bryan G. Rudnick
