"Christian" Blackwell gets desperate, nasty (Swift-Boating)

Columbus -- With polls showing him so far behind that he could drag the entire Republican ticket down to defeat, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell launched an attack last week that took political discourse in Ohio to unplumbed depths.

In the last of four debates, Blackwell accused his Democratic rival for governor, Rep. Ted Strickland, of covering up for a campaign staff member who exposed himself to children and supporting the platform of NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association.

By the week's end, the allegations had become more bizarre and outlandish. Jerome Corsi, who co-authored a book with Blackwell and co-wrote the "Swift boat" book that helped sink John Kerry's presidential candidacy, was cranking out daily columns about sexual rumors "swirling in the Buckeye State" and lam- basting Ohio reporters for not pursuing the story.

Sean Hannity, the conservative commentator who is a co-host on Fox News' "Hannity and Colmes Show," conducted an interview with Bill Cunningham, a Cincinnati radio host who has campaigned for Blackwell, in which Cunningham accused Strickland of traveling to Italy with his "boy toy" campaign staffer.

He can't win fair and honestly on the merit of his ideas, so he's vindictively resorting to extreme mudslinging and ridiculous allegations to try and damage Strickland as much as possible.

Sad. And this guy is supposed to be a Christian? His true colors are showing now, and boy, are they ugly.

What a creep.

or at least a well deserved punch in the mouth? These repukes, so called christians, have been for years the most despicable pieces of shit on the planet. I can't put into words the repulsion I feel when I'm anywhere near one of these lying sacks of shit.

Every last one of them should be lined up and pissed on.

(and on the "Liberal" station, 1350AM), but I heard one at lunch today (and probably earlier, too).

Blackwell touches on all the "touchy-feely" points of the Republicans ... "partial-birth abortion", "Under God", yadda yadda yadda ...

Of course, Blackwell is all for the "tax breaks" ... that he doesn't mention affect only the wealthiest ...

I'm surprised he hasn't played the "race card" ... but there's a little less than two weeks left ...

is suing blackwell and any one else involved in this accusation because all his records where sealed when he was younger. How and who gave them info????
