NMI readers should yield to Dan Foley on being the ultimate authority on "falsely and maliciously" attacking someone. Given his twists and lies about Dennis Kintigh's posiiton on life, it is galling to read what has been posted in his name to this website talking abvout what is "ethically and morally wrong."
Don't take my word for it, read what Project Vote Smart said about Dan Foley:
RELEASE DATE: FOR INFORMATION: June 2, 2008 Adelaide Kimball: 406-859-8683
PUBLIC STATEMENT
Dan Foley, a candidate for the 57th State House District in New Mexico, has attacked his opponent, Dennis Kintigh, with misleading information, and has used Project Vote Smart’s name to give his accusations credibility.
This kind of negative campaign activity is precisely the sort of tactic that Project Vote Smart attempts to counter with its factual database. By using the Project’s name to give credibility to these attacks, Foley is cheating the public out of their need for trusted, abundant, accurate, factual information.
The Project prohibits the use of its name and programs, including the Political Courage Test, in partisan activity. All candidates in New Mexico have been notified of this policy in writing. Additionally, this policy is posted prominently on the Project Vote Smart website.
This kind of behavior occurs in less that 00.05 percent of all races nationally. It is our policy to condemn this misuse of Project Vote Smart’s name and reputation and to alert the public to any misuse of our name or programs for negative partisan activities.
