(A little dip through LiTW archives on Tim Fox should remind folks how he's the last guy who should be decrying mudslinging, unless it was part of an apology... - promoted by Jay Stevens)
I just came across a letter to the editor from Attorney General-wannabe Tim Fox about political campaigns and the "barnyard tactic of mudslinging."
After watching Fox's losing effort last November, I figured that this must be an apology for his ridiculous behavior and the negative campaign that he ran - one that was unprecedented in Montana history. I was wrong.
This guy - whose campaign was called "dishonest" and "misleading" by Montana newspapers - now has the audacity to wax poetically about the virtues of clean campaigns:
Having run for elected office myself, I am well aware of the reality that issues that should matter in a campaign tend to sometimes get overshadowed by issues that are of little substance to the office being contested.
...
There are consequences that come with making unfounded allegations about another person; a realization I came to not during the practice of law, but during the course of my upbringing in Montana.
Fox ran a despicable campaign - one that saw him lose by 25 thousand votes - and now he's the moral authority for our state? Good thing we saw through this guy. |
