As campaign gets dirty, it's Rove's time to shine |
|
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20041020.wxcarlrove20a/BNStory/Front/With less than two weeks until election day and opinion polls showing the race too close to call, it's crunch time for the likes of Karl Rove.
...
The most infamous of the dirty tricks credited to Mr. Rove, but never proven to be his, came during the 2000 Republican primary when Mr. Bush entered South Carolina well behind Mr. McCain for the presidential nomination.
Using a tactic known as "push-polling," where a bogus pollster phones voters asking leading questions, suggestions were circulated that Mr. McCain had betrayed his country while he was a PoW in Vietnam and had fathered a child with a black prostitute.

..."push-polling." But then again, I'm part of the reality-based community.
I want to see kkkrove investigated and sent to prison.
