Rise Above Lew Fidler's Hate

I loathe indulging the delusions of Democrats – why engage in a battle of wits with witless wonders? However, there are times when ignorance left unchecked can be dangerous and toxic. This is one of those times.

I refer to Councilman Lew Fidler’s out-and-out lie that the Brooklyn Young Democrats have apparently accepted as gospel – that David Storobin, a young Russian Jewish attorney and fellow Young Republican vying to restore the honor of the 27th Senate seat that disgraced Democrat Carl Kruger stripped from it, has “ties to skinheads, neo-Nazi groups and white supremacist groups.”

No, that’s not a typo. He actually said that. Check out the video.

This is “page 57” from the Southern Brooklyn Democratic “playbook” – race-baiting. It’s a way for Democrats to play on anger and fear in order to drum up support and win votes. It’s also disgusting.

The “basis” for this latest Southern Brooklyn Democrat disgrace is that some hateful individual linked something Storobin wrote several years ago onto a white supremacist forum. Seriously. That’s it.

So how does Fidler get from that to putting Storobin in that group? He doesn't. Because he can’t.Those of us who actually know how the Internet works knows that anyone can link anything just about anywhere that gives them access and there’s nothing the author could do about it. We all know that Lew Fidler is not ignorant of the internet – he comments in forums (sometimes linking things himself) all the time.

There’s only one conclusion. Fidler is race-baiting. He is casting dangerous and harmful aspersions with suspect proof in the hope that it inflames those with such sensitivities and turns into votes.

Long story short – Lew Fidler is a liar. And the Brooklyn Young Democrats swear by his lie.

That’s the only explanation I can draw from Seamus Campbell’s "hit" piece up on the organization’s website, which I refuse to link here (by the way, from Fidler's ridiculous point of view, any link by me of that article here would make Campbell a Republican, but back on topic...) In furtherance of Fidler’s hate-mongering, Campbell “demands” to know why the article that prompted Fidler’s contemptible comments was removed by the source website – like Storobin or anyone else is supposed to know! The Storobin campaign does not run the website. The website has an editorial board and accepts online submissions. Clearly, there can be any number of reasons!

Looks like Campbell is learning the Democrats’ smoke-and-mirror tactics pretty well. He’s asking questions he knows damn well that no one can answer and then argues the non-answer is proof of wrongdoing. It’s intellectually dishonest, but it’s what I’ve come to expect from Brooklyn Democrats.

All of this would be par for the course except this gambit takes contempt to a whole new low – even for Democrats. David Storobin’s story is the story of American Dream. You see, David is a Russian Jew born in the former Soviet Union. At a young age, he was the victim of Soviet oppression and prejudice of the worst kind. He and his family immigrated to America to escape poverty and persecution. His single mother worked menial jobs while David educated himself, graduating college and Rutgers Law School to become an accomplished attorney with his own law firm that has two offices in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

This is the person that Councilman Lew Fidler and his Young Democrat minions expect you to believe is a racist.

Despicable.

I hope you join me in my shock and outrage. For all the talk of "tolerance" that comes from the left, this is the single most horrifying political tactic I have ever witnessed. I also hope you join me in demanding that Councilman Lew Fidler and the Brooklyn Young Democrats immediately apologize for their comments and behavior.

Call Fidler’s office at (718) 241-9330 and demand that he stop stirring up hate for votes and that he stop defaming David Storobin. Send a message that we must rise above Lew Fidler’s hate by supporting David Storobin for State Senate.
