OH-2: "Swift Boating" of Hackett Begins Online
From Daily Kos:

Hat-tip to the OH-2 Blog..

A quote was from Eric Minamyer, campaign advisor to Jean Schmidt.

I understand that Hackett did not participate in combat at all. It is still dangerous over there as I can personally attest. Let's just not act as though we led marines in combat if we did not, okay...

I have asked the question time and again, what role did he actually play? Given all the opportunities he has had to say "I served in combat" one fair conclusion is that he did not.

Apparently, questioning Paul Hackett's service is a new strategy of Jean Schmidt's desperate campaign that is over $60,000 in debt.

Keep the pressure up--Paul Hackett's ActBlue Page just got to 3000 individual contributors moments ago.

(info@hackettforcongress.com to volunteer--there is housing)

6. The sad thing is, they're starting to get really predictable
I wish someone with some fucking common sense would run against them!

Just look at that book The "Truth" About Hillary. The truth is, the book is better used as toilet paper.

4. Same with me.
This is pure horseshit. Well, more money to Mr. Hackett.

These Republicans are evil to the core.

8. So Jean's campaign is in debt?
That's unheard of for a Repub campaign in an Ohio Congressional race.

Apparently, Coingate is having a negative effect on the Ohio GOP's campaing money laundering machine. Wherever will they come up with the million or so they usually drop into a media buy during the last week? Has anyone checked?

That is very, very, very good news.
