Recently a Dem Congressional candidate's campaign manager returned home to find his children's pet cat, 'Miss Gato,' dead on the front porch with the word, 'Liberal' written on it's body. The story was widely reported on and prompted a nationwide response to the brutal act by unknown person(s).
The Liberal blog, bluearkansas.com reported extensively on the incident.

As did the Wemple blog on washingtonpost.com
Caution! The links contain a graphic image of the cat's body.

Now, it seems that the father of the Dem's Tea Party opponent has accused the Aden campaign of killing the cat themselves for the publicity. The Arkansas Times, 'Arkansas Blog' reports today on this development. An mp3 file of the incident is included. Why an mp3 file? It just so happens that the Tea Party Congressman's fathers owns a radio station in the District and regularly comments on the story.

(42,766 posts)This sort of accusation would be predictable from a Tea Bagger opponent would it not?

(19,339 posts)I clicked on it thinking that authorities or a prosecutor had made the accusation. The headline is worded like that was the case.
The news in your OP is that a congressman's daddy is claiming the Democratic campaign of killing the cat themselves.
A subtle but important difference.
