At the intellectual level he knows that this stuff is a pack of lies, but at the emotional level feels justified in promoting the smears...
Boy, tell me about it. I spend half my time here dealing with that syndrome.
Just to reiterate, I'm not claiming that Democrats don't engage in this despicable practice too. But there's no false symmetry--Democrats seem to engage in smears less, and when they do, they tend to stay closer to the truth than Republicans.
The gauntlet is dropped. Prove me wrong, Tom.
James Carville. We done here?
Seriously, you can research "Democratic dirty tricks" as well as I can. "Snopes.com" is, like Drudge, a good place to start looking for facts, but they are anything but politically unbiased.
Incidentally, you have no evidence that this e-mail originated with a Republican, and it's not like the Republican Party is the only entity who would benefit from this right now. We already have on record local Hillary staffers tossing around that older e-mail smear.
