The Spectacle Blog
Meanwhile, yesterday I wrote about how Romney was under fire for making his announcement at the Henry Ford Museum, given Ford's record of anti-semitism. The Romney camp writes in to say that Bush I and Bob Dole both made campaign appearances there, and Rudy Giuliani attended a fundraiser for Dick DeVos there last May.
The campaign also attached a statement from the Republican Jewish Coalition (which I can't find a link to):
Republican Jewish Coalition Executive Director Matt
Brooks today said: "I'm saddened and disappointed by the attack
today by the NJDC against Governor Romney. In 1999, the NJDC did
not attack President Bill Clinton when he praised Henry Ford, and
for them to go after Governor Romney now is the ultimate in
partisan political double standards. This double standard shows the
NJDC's comments to be politically driven and underscores why these
attacks aren't credible."
