If Dean says "sleazy" over the line and Trippi uses it is HD a hypocrite?

[MIMStigator]

In an article at Boston.com Dean says he doesn't approve of calling other candidates sleazy and says it goes over the line but his own campaign manager Trippi said "Sleazy tactics like yours are exactly the reason that people have stopped participating in the political process," when he wrote to Dick Gephart's campaign.

I think this is hypocritical don't you? Saying you think something goes over the line if your own campaing manager does it.

"I don't like calling other candidates `sleazy' or any of that kind of stuff. I think that kind of stuff goes over the line."

On Thursday, Dean's campaign manager, Joe Trippi, sent a letter to Gephardt's campaign addressing its allegation that Dean may be trying to get out-of-state residents to participate in the caucuses.

1. sigh..

why not just post the article with the right headline, then add your feelings? Why make the mods go on double-overtime?

2. Because my post is about a subject and the article is only there for proof

It's not about the whole article it's about one part that is reported in it. The article is just the PROOF that he said it.

3. No,

Dean, a candidate, was talking about other candidates.

Trippi, a campaign staffer, was talking about another candidate's campaign staff.
