Yeah, they did. The “Truth Team,” now with more anti-Semitism! Obama’s Truth Team tweeted out the link to Maureen Dowd’s latest column, which has been widely denounced as anti-Semitic.

Dowd’s column has come under fire for its anti-Semitism. And its utter hackery, which is par for the course with Maureen Dowd.

More from Mediaite:
Commentary Magazine’s Jonathan Tobin savaged Dowd’s column as “creepy” and says that this episode should not be swept under the rug:
Dowd’s column marks yet another step down into the pit of hate-mongering that has become all too common at the Times. This is a tipping point that should alarm even the most stalwart liberal Jewish supporters of the president.
Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic, responded immediately to the slurs printed in the Times on the eve of the Jewish new year holiday. In Happy New Year, Puppet Masters, Goldberg goes after Dowd for her liberal use of offensive slurs to attack Ryan.
But that didn’t stop Team Obama from spreading the anti-Semitism when they tweeted out Dowd’s column in an attempt to slam Romney. This, of course, is coming from the team of a man who has no time to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, what with all his Vegas trips and all.

But who would ask?"@AG_Conservative: Wow @truthteam2012 tweeted Maureen Dowd's anti-Semitic column, making it wholly appropriate to ask..,"

Who would ask, indeed? The lapdoggies at Politico at least ask, allegedly, yet they chose to bury the lede. They made slight mention of the Truth Team tweeting out the article in the last paragraph, as NRO’s Jonah Goldberg noted.
Politico lede buried. Obama camp peddles Dowd column which even liberal Jews say traffics in anti-Semitic cliches. http://t.co/PvytWL2P
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) September 16, 2012
@Sharpinsky Never said it was anti-Semitic, said the cliches she lazily trafficked in were. Oh, and it's not true. So there's that.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) September 17, 2012
Honest Q for Politico. If Romney campaign tweeted out pat buchanan column denounced by Jews, would you put that in last graf?
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) September 16, 2012
Ha! That would be all over in huge headline-y font. Several times. Politico’s Glenn Thrush tries to play defense.
@GlennThrush I'm just going by the experts quoted in the piece bubalah.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) September 17, 2012
@GlennThrush oh and you can come up far short of der Sturmer and still be crappy on Jewish issues, as the times history has shown.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) September 17, 2012
@GlennThrush still doesn't explain buried lede.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) September 17, 2012
Bingo! We all know the answer, don’t we? Fetch, Politico, fetch!
Twitter users find Obama’s Truth Team to be neither truthful nor decent.

@AG_Conservative @truthteam2012 Is that how they wish Jews a Happy New Year? Of course O agrees with Dowd's column. Letterman or Netanyahu?
— HumanNature (@S3CURITYBR3ACH) September 16, 2012
Your move, lapdoggies. Will you ask President Obama if he agrees with the anti-Semitic tropes in Dowd’s article? His Truth Team is wholly endorsing them and all.
