The continued attempts at smearing Nancy Pelosi

The Republican Jewish Coalition has an attack ad, making unfounded claims about Rep Pelosi and her trip to the Middle East.

As Crooks and Liars is pointing it out (And they have the video.):

The Swiftboating of Nancy Pelosi

This is an apt description as it comes from the group started by Sam Fox, who lead the swiftboat assault on John Kerry in '04. That would be Sam Fox, now ambassador to Belgium. The fruits of doing Bush's dirty work.

Ironic that Pelosi was at work, helping Israel on this trip. Not that matters to this group. It isn't about Israeli security. It is about attacking the other side, in American politics, and scoring points.

As ThinkProgess.org points out:

The RJC television ad on Pelosi highlights the baseless Washington Post editorial and contains no mention of the five Republicans who also traveled to Syria last week. The ad’s tag line: “Tough? No. Dangerous and very wrong.”
On Sam Fox's involvement:

Contacted by ThinkProgress, a spokeswoman for the RJC would not rule out that Fox was involved in the ad, saying only that “as far as I know,” Fox was not connected.
