Finally, someone takes on Jerry Nadler! Go, Susan Kone!
Here's the scoop:
Republican congressional candidate Susan Kone (NY8) today launched an advertising campaign highlighting her opponent’s ‘deafening’ silence in the wake of what former Democratic New York City Mayor Ed Koch has termed ‘President Obama’s hostility toward Israel’. Kone also noted that “Mr. Nadler’s ‘true colors’ are evidenced by his contribution from his personal political action committee ‘Jerry Pac’ to Loretta Sanchez of California - a signer of J-Street’s Infamous ‘Gaza Letter of 54’ requesting that Israel appease the terrorist group Hamas which controls Gaza and had been incessantly launching rockets targeting Israeli civilian populations for months on end.”
According to Kone -- “this election is in large part a referendumon President Obama’s policies toward Israel as the district represents one of the largest and most diverse Jewish communities in the world. Congressman Nadler was the primary surrogate to the Jewish community - misleading Jewish voters during the presidential campaign that this Administration would be a true friend to Israel and that he would be a true friend to Israel. A true friend to Israel would not have stood silent in light of two years of insensitive treatment toward Israel - a true friend to Israel would not be helping to finance the campaign of a woman who signed the Gaza Letter of 54.”
Kone continued, "While many in the Jewish community includingmyself spoke up against the insensitive treatment of Israel, Mr. Nadler - who has a proclivity to pontificate - remained deafeningly silent. He did howeverspeak up loud and clear to argue that ACORN was, as he said, ‘entitled’ to continue to receive millions in taxpayer funding notwithstanding both established criminal behavior and a bipartisan vote of Congress to the contrary.
He also spoke up loud and often against those who felt that the building of mosque near Ground Zero was a poor and insensitive choice of location. Nadler labeled opponents of the location of the mosque--including the families of thevictims of September 11--as, in his words, 'shameful', 'hateful' and 'divisive'.
He was quite vocal in his assertion that their passionate pleas for respect and understanding were, as he put it, 'hate speech' rather than 'hurt speech'.”
Kone continued, “We have not been true to our friends with whom we share common values or tough enough on our enemies. Israel is just one example."
In the ad, Kone's campaign cites numerous instances of insensitive treatment toward Israel to which Mr. Nadler remained silent.

Nadler could run campaign commercials advocating re-opening Auschwitz and still get in excess of 70%.
Make of it what you will, but Kone claimed to have an internal poll at the beginning of October that put her down 12 points.
Did I even have to look at her website to know she would be hot. As most conservative are.
Jerry has to be the most obese congressman in the history of the US.
