Peddling Perry rumors on a national stage

Ray Sullivan called me last week. Sullivan, a longtime Rick Perry aide and now communications director for Perry's presidential campaign, has a problem. Sullivan's wife, Leslie, is a fundraiser for Mitt Romney. But that's not the problem Sullivan called me about.

Sullivan called about Robert Morrow. Morrow is a problem for Perry. And any problem for Perry is a problem for Sullivan. Morrow, from his Austin home, has become a key purveyor of nasty, unsubstantiated allegations about Perry's personal life. You may be aware of Morrow's recent full-page Austin Chronicle ad trolling for bad stuff about Perry.

"Here is what we are learning about Rick Perry," Morrow wrote in a recent late-night email listing unsubstantiated stuff about Perry and concluding with "I think it is just a matter of time before a credible source" comes forward to substantiate the rumors.

Since Ron Paul has not denounced Morrow, (that I know of, anyway) that must mean it’s ok with Paul if Warren Jeffs raped little girls. Anyone defending Morrow must think it’s acceptable to rape little girls.

But all CFR-Ric can do is cry to Daddy and have him fix it?

Huh?

[econjack]

All this crap coming down on Perry, but Obama escaped even the most casual inspection until it was too late. And for all those who think Obozo is squeaky clean, why has he spend all that money sequestering his past? You don't do that unless you have something to hide.

Hey I searched "Rick Perry's dad pic" on Bing, which is pretty ,much garbage and the first result was from a gay dallas mag with a pic of Perry eating a corn dog, the title said "Rick Perry deep throats a corn dog"

That was the very first search result on Bing for "Rick Perry's dad pic".

[CajunConservative]

It’s the typical leftwing rag tactic. Evidently nothing’s come out with the pathetic Paultard’s smear tactic.

There was a day...a guy like him would have been offed quickly

[dusttoyou]

The bigger problem with the likes of Marrow is that he has collaborators here on FR who operate under the guise of being Palin supporters.

Its clearly obvious who they are, their tactics give their hand away.

As an “also Palin” supporter, I find it hard to believe Sarah Palin would approve of those PDS coyotes, for it surely takes away from her image.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Is anyone else here thinking, what i’m thinking?

I think Bob Morrow, has SEVERAL accounts here at FR, the guy they describe in this article fits to a “T” the small group of Perry haters here on FR, that seem obsessed with taking down Perry.

I have a friend who ran into Paul supporters in New Orleans...they are nothing but dangerous thugs. He said they threatened him, his wife and his property. He said he’d never again be around them without his gun.

[wolfcreek]

Perry’s people already have a dossier on Morrow.

I think he’s just a unemployed conspiracy theorist with a nestegg and a lot of time to start trouble.

[shield]

Yes, we have both spotted them.

[hocndoc]

One of the few times I’ve seen Mr. hocndoc lose his temper in public was when Morrow called me “ignorant.” Morrow’s about 6-8 inches taller than the Mr., but I saw my husband ready to prove his theory that age and cunning triumphs youth and enthusiasm any day.

We did have to come to an agreement that I could fight my own fights or we’d have to go our separate ways at political events. He’s agreed to let me FReep the twits to my heart’s content. (I’m sorry, but debating the rabid nuts who think they’re (big L)ibertarians is sort of like shooting fish in a barrel.)

[TexasFreeper2009]

Actually, the more I think about this... I don’t think they actually are Palin supporters. They are Paul supporters trying to drive a wedge between the Perry supporters and the Palin supporters to the benefit of their man Ron Paul.

Think about it. Their MO fits a Paul supporter far more than a Palin supporter. We are being played.

[houeto]

They’ve been pulled.

[RED SOUTH]

After 11 years of reforms by Perry, Texas still ranks at the bottom of many educational indicators. Texas has the fewest percentage of adults with high school diplomas, compared to the other U.S. states.

Texas is also ranked low in high school graduation rate.

Texas is 49th in verbal SAT scores in the nation and 46th in average math SAT scores. Can we trust him to reform Washington?

[Servant of the Cross]

So, you support Robert Morrow and his methods?

[CajunConservative]

I’m beginning to agree with you.

[wolfcreek]

I’ve heard more than a few of the anti-Perrys say they have a *Texas* source for their spam.

This guy does have a lot of time on his hands.

[Liberty Valance]

"Morrow, from his Austin home, has become a key purveyor of nasty, unsubstantiated allegations about Perry's personal life."

I'm shocked. Shocked I tell ya.

“The bigger problem with the likes of Marrow is that he has collaborators here on FR who operate under the guise of being Palin supporters.”

??. I didn't know that. It now makes a little more sense though because I read the Palin threads and about 80% of her supporters are decent people doing nothing but supporting their candidate so I enjoy reading some of their posts. The other 20% are rabid when they post on the Perry threads and it boggled my mind because Palin isn't like that so it was turning me off to see some of her supporters behaving like nothing but junior high trouble makers. Now I at least know that some of them aren't in fact Palin supporters but ones who probably hate both Palin and Perry and want someone else in the White House in 2012.

Thanks
