Joe Sestak not helping raise money for CAIR at a 2007 $50-per-ticket CAIR fundraiser.
Joe Sestak, a Springfield native and the Democrat’s hope to replace Arlen Specter as Pennsylvania senator, has filed complaints regarding two ads being run against him and has threatened to take the broadcasters to the FCC if they continued being shown.
The ad produced by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce takes Joe to task for supporting bizarre anti-consumer policies and claims Sestak voted with House Speaker and San Francisco leftist Nancy Pelosi 100-percent of the time.
Not true, says Sestak. It was only 97 percent of the time.
Anyway WPGH and WPMY of the Pittsburgh area which were among the 14 television stations airing this ad succumbed to Sestak’s threats and pulled it.
Update: It was reported today, July 17, that WPGH and WPMY have rescinded their surrender and have restored the ads.
Meanwhile the Emergency Committee for Israel has produced an ad highlighting the criticism in which Sestak has joined regarding attempts by Israel to keep the Gaza strip from being used as base for Islamic terror attacks, and Sestak’s 2007 appearance at a fundraiser for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which the FBI has determined to be a front-group for Hamas, an Islamic terror group that seeks to replace Israel with an Islamic state.
Sestak’s response is basically hey, the FBI didn’t say it was a terror front-man at the time and I really wasn’t raising funds at the fundraiser.
The naivete alone should disqualify Sestak from any position of responsibility but when one wonders why CAIR was throwing its significant Philadelphia influence behind him, the implications are frightening.
Here’s the Emergency Committee for Israel ad.
