Dirty Tricks Afoot?

by: Matt Singer

Thu Oct 28, 2010 at 12:42:41 PM MST


I've now heard reports of obnoxious automated calls going into at least 4 districts pretending to endorse Democratic candidates. The speaker on the message has a thick foreign accent and the calls often get made repeatedly.

The calls are apparently anonymous and claim to be made by the Democratic candidate's campaign.

I'd be fascinated to know if the new MRLCC treasurer, known for his history of shady behavior, has anything to do with them.

Update -- If you get one of these calls, don't just ask who is paying for it, ask for the name of the firm actually making the calls. Write it down, email it to me or post it in comments.

Eaton (0.00 / 0)
These calls have been coming in for a few weeks now, throughout the state. They seemed to die down for a week or two, but have picked back up as the campaign has come to a close.

I don't know who they are, but the fact that they've been going on for weeks suggests they aren't Eaton's direct handy-work (that's not to say they aren't MRLCC, we just don't know who they are).


Jake was consulting for MRLCC... (0.00 / 0)
before he got the treasurer gig.

[ Parent ]
if jake had been prosecuted for his crimes in 08 (0.00 / 0)
as he should have been had the dems pressed charges he would be consulting with a big cell-mate named bud robert in deerlodge.

[ Parent ]
And what exactly were his crimes? (0.00 / 0)
Not conjecture, or blog fantasy.  But real, hard facts.  What were his criminal actions?

[ Parent ]
he knowingly signed a false affidavit challenging legitimate voters in the state of montana (0.00 / 0)
which would be committing perjury. the only reason he walked is because democrats passed on pressing charges.

jake eaton committed a felony in furtherance of rigging an election. pretty serious crimes in my book and if you believe in the value of one man one vote which is the backbone of our country's constitution then you would call them crimes too.

To add to what problembear has said (0.00 / 0)
This was actually in the news for a while when it occured. There was a report that he had left the state. While I doubt that Eaton is behind these robocalls, there is no excuse for the Repubs to hire him back in any official capacity - it undermines their credibility a great deal.

This is completely beside the point, but you really need to post an email addy somewhere.  The last two I've tried to send you have bounced.

to be fair to Eaton... (0.00 / 0)
...the first time I heard of this was in the Skees/Hammerquist race, before ol Jake took the job...
