Hinchey staffer asks DU for HELP! (DU this poll., please)

http://www.dailyfreeman.com/site/news.asp?brd=1769

Dan Ahouse runs the show for Hinchey down in D.C. Please help the BIG MO take on Kkkarl and the Orwellian right wing press. Please vote in this online poll. Dan's email message is below. Thank YOU, DU!

Friends:

As you may know, Maurice has been outspoken over the past week about his opinion that the White House political operation, led by Karl Rove, was behind the leaking of false documents to CBS regarding George Bush's military "service." His comments and unwillingness to back down from the premise that a White House with a clear history of manipulating the media could be behind this action have resulted in him being targeted by a right-wing smear campaign.

One of our local papers, the Daily Freeman, has been conducting an online poll asking readers if they agreed with Maurice's assertions. Until recently, the response has been relatively equal. However, this weekend, the right-wing bloggers began to flood the poll and now the results are vastly one-sided.

I'm writing to ask for your help in stopping this manipulation of public opinion about our Congressman. Please forward this information to anyone interested in standing up to the right-wing distortion and ask they they register their opinion in the poll. You can vote at www.dailyfreeman.com .

Dan Ahouse.

Ever since that memo first appeared, I've been telling all my Dim acquaintances that Rove was behind it! I don't know, or care whether it's true or not, but let me tell you, it's been fun.
Try it yourself: Mention it to a Dim and watch them go into a bug-eyed,teeth-gnashing, slobber-slinging, snot-snarling fit!
