Just FYI.... I heard those nasty little rumors months ago from my family members in Florida concerning Crist. Are they true? I have no idea. Facts usually have a way of coming out sooner or later.
However, I don't think those who are being bashed for openly discussing rumors about Crist would be bashed if those rumors were about Democrats. If the rumor was about Democrats, many, many Freepers would be participating and seeking to spread the rumor.

More's the pity. If a campaign cannot be run on facts and must rely on feces flinging, then that candidate will not get my vote. I will abstain rather than vote for a candidate who engages in such behavior.
I don't really care if some FReepers spread rumors. They are wrong to do so. That is not a conservative value. Conservatives value truth.
