Daniels LIES in press release - yummy!

Tribune Star

The Daniels campaign e-mailed the release to the Tribune-Star around the 11:30 a.m. time of the "rally," and handed out a copies of the news releases at the rally's anticipated site.

The news release states that veterans in a rally outside the Vigo County Courthouse "called on Gov. Joe Kernan to stop his smear campaign of Mitch Daniels."

It stated, "During the rally this morning outside the Vigo County Courthouse, some vets held signs asking the governor to 'Stop the Smear Campaign.'"

But only one veteran attended the event, and he did not carry a sign.

Apparently, they only told the "protestors" that the "rally" was occuring a few days beforehand - not enough time to really get anything organized. Sounds to me like this was an attempt to create a political event out of the ether.
