Minor nit-pick. Her attacks were anti-semetic, not racist. She may in fact be a racist, but in this case she was running a hate campaign against religion, not race. Perhaps she'll try that next time?

Bigotry is all cut from same cloth. Seldom is a religous bigot also not a racist and sexist.

I live in the district and watched the attacks first hand. She started with the premise that a white man cannot represent black constituents and never strayed far from it. He most infamous add is not the one shown here on TPM but another that juxtaposed Rep Cohen with images of the KKK buring crosses. You are mistaken.
