Ken Schram: How low will the GOP go?
By Ken Schram
How low will they go?
I don't really have the answer, but my suspicion is that before this election season is done, right-wing Republicans will have hit new depths of campaign distortions and outright lies.
One prime example: The phony $3 bills that were being hawked by GOP volunteers out at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe. Featuring a picture of Barack Obama decked out in an Arab headdress with the words "da man" under his picture, the mocking merchandise was prominently displayed alongside the "proud republican" bumper stickers and the "Dino Rossi for Governor" paraphernalia. In addition to perpetuating the lie that Obama is a Muslim, the fake bill also has some openly racist aspects to it. Gerri Modell, the head of the Snohomish County Republican Party, says she had no idea how the bills magically appeared at the GOP's booth. Gee, maybe Modell should just ask her own executive secretary, who was working the Republican booth earlier this week and who took the "obamanation" display down after getting a mysterious phone call. Of all the things I could say that would never be allowed to air or printed, I think I'll just leave it at this: Pretty damn sleazy. --- Have something to say to Ken?
