Just got this in my email:
From the beginning of this campaign, Barack has pledged to be open and honest with the American people -- to tell us what we need to know, not just what we want to hear. That kind of honesty is at the core of our movement, because if we adopt Karl Rove campaign tactics of deception and fear, we're never going to change Washington and bring the country together to get things done.
Over the last few days, those same old tactics have come to Nevada.
Hillary Clinton has sent direct mail pieces to Nevadans distorting Barack's position on Social Security.
* She is on the radio deliberately confusing voters about his long-standing opposition to Yucca Mountain.
* She is on TV misleading people about his outspoken position against the war in Iraq.
*
But perhaps most disturbing, Clinton has attacked Barack on his 100% pro-choice record.
The tone of Senator Clinton's campaign has been so negative that even her supporters are saying enough is enough. Lorna Brett, a former Clinton donor and president of Chicago National Organization for Women, had this to say about the tactics:
"I was disappointed that Hillary Clinton would launch misleading attacks on Barack Obama and his unimpeachable record on a woman's right to choose. I have switched my support to Barack Obama because I know the truth. I cannot be a part of that kind of deceptive politics."
