Murray said in a statement Friday that Vance and other critics were twisting her words.
"Having a challenging and thoughtful discussion about Americas future reflects the best values of a free democracy; to sensationalize and distort in an attempt to divide is not," she said.
Murray's spokesman, Todd Webster, called the senator a victim of a right-wing media machine.
"This is being turned into a circus by the right-wing media outlets and fed by right-wing haters," Webster said.
Asked if he included Vance in that category, Webster said, "Absolutely. I include Vance and the right-wing media and the right-wing establishment." For the rest of the story

CALL it Gumbelgate. HBO sportscaster Bryant Gumbel is under fire for not disclosing his own membership in an all-male golf club when he interviewed the chief critic of the Augusta National Golf Club's all-male membership policy.
Martha Burk, who chairs the National Council of Women's Organizations, said Gumbel admitted to her off-camera that he was a member of the exclusive Burning Tree Club in Bethesda, Md., while profiling her on "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," in an installment to air Tuesday on HBO.
"I told him it was wrong and he shouldn't [belong to the club]," Burk said. "He mentioned it to me and I said, 'Bryant, you're wrong to do this. It's the wrong kind of statement to make not only to the public but also to your own daughter. I think you need to reconsider what you're doing in terms of the public statement that it makes.' "
Mountaineer, please help me out here. Isn't this tournament played at Augusta every year? If so then why does Burke come out now with all this whining? Because a republican is president would be my guess.
Yeah, little Ms Mom in Tennis Shoes, tell that to Little Tommy Daschle!
