March 31, 2005

The Nevada Republican Party defended Rep. Jim Gibbons, R-Nev., on Wednesday against a recent billboard campaign by the state Democratic Party that implied Gibbons wanted to use Americans as "human shields" in the war in Iraq.

Calling the billboard's message untruthful and deceitful, officials from the state Republican Party also took shots against Democrats, calling them disorganized and grouped them with the former presidential candidate Howard Dean, who is now the Democratic National Chairman.

The Republicans vowed to continue defending any attacks against state Republican officials.

This bi-partisan bickering comes more than a year before the 2006 Nevada gubernatorial race and before Gibbons has officially declared his candidacy for governor.

"This is the politics of distortion," said Richard Ziser, vice chairman of the Nevada Republican Party, who spoke at the party's headquarters in Las Vegas. "To distort what Gibbons said is so disingenuous that something had to be done."

Ziser, who was joined by Brian Scroggins, Clark County Republican Party chairman, said the party did not endorse any candidate for governor but would not allow Republican officials to be publicly criticized without putting up a fight.

The two billboards in Reno and Las Vegas, installed last week, read "Gibbons for Governor? Use Americans as 'human shields' in Iraq," and are a response to a plagiarized speech the congressman gave in Elko in early March.

"The billboard is a complete distortion on the comments from Elko -- the (human shield) suggestion referred to people who volunteered to go to Afghanistan and Iraq who wanted to serve as human shields," he said."

NOT TRUE. Lying sure comes easy to the GoPee'rs nowadays!

The Elko Daily Free Press quoted Gibbons in a rant against Hollywood liberals in which he told the crowd: "I say we take those liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippie, tie-dyed liberals to go make their movies and music and whine somewhere else."

According to the Daily Free Press, Gibbons then said liberals are the same people who wanted to go to Iraq to become human shields. "I say, it's just too damn bad we didn't buy them a ticket," he added.

10. Do I detect a shift in GOP policy? From everything being Clinton's

fault to everything being Dean's fault?
