Haley Barbour Doesn't Want You To See This Ad:
Haley Barbour's campaign sent a letter to television stations today demanding that they not broadcast this ad. They would be on firmer ground if anything in the ad wasn't true; the problem is it all is. Haley Barbour just can't stand dissenting views. We saw that in the debate when as soon as he was challenged he went off message and we see that now.

I just wish Jim Hood would come out and say, one way or the other, what is going on and if the Guv has done done something wrong then he needs to make it public. I guess its all a political stunt.
ReplyDeleteWell again, our ethics laws are ridiculously weak and in some cases backward. I don't think what Barbour has done is illegal, but I think if he lied to cover it up that should be an issue.
ReplyDeleteHow can they make any sort of argument that this is not based on fact? They're citing the sources on screen in the ad.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first dumb move Haley's campaign has made. Even if you don't think Barbour has done anything unethical, the campaign's hissy fit (1.) pisses off media outlets and (2.) legitimizes Eaves' message.
ReplyDeleteIt won't matter in November, but if Barbour is selected as the GOP veep nominee next year, then you'd better believe this will make for a meaty paragraph in many a media review of this whole blind trust mess.
