Good call by the Associated Press on identifying them as a Republican group rather than a Jewish group.

A Republican group launched a new effort Wednesday to turn Jewish voters away from Barack Obama, an ad campaign that compares the Democratic presidential candidate to Pat Buchanan but offers scant evidence of their similarities.

The Republican Jewish Coalition is running an ad in dozens of Jewish newspapers that says Obama and Buchanan have views on Israel that are ''dangerous, reckless and wrong.'' It quotes Buchanan as saying his views on Israel are a lot closer to Obama's than they are to those of GOP presidential nominee John McCain....

The ad follows on the group's backing of a negative poll in which the questions tied Obama to Palestinian causes.
