McDaniel takes heat

As I suspected, the smear machine has already started churning out garbage. Arkansas Attorney General candidate, Gunner Delay (R), has posted all 58 pages of a lawsuit that his opponent, Dustin McDaniel, was involved with in the late 90's. The suit was filed by McDaniel's law firm, which was headed by his father, suing Remington Arms after the Jonesboro, AR school shootings. Although the paperwork posted on Delay's site has several signatures of Dustin McDaniel, it is not clear yet as to the extent the AG candidate was involved in the litigation. McDaniel contends that he performed limited work on the case and was later completely removed from the litigation at his own behest. Even though Delay and his ilk have implied that this lawsuit is tantamount to McDaniel wanting to go door to door and take everyone's guns away, I will withhold judgment until the entire picture is clear. I have spoken with several people who have hunted with McDaniel so I am certain he is not anti-gun and I doubt very seriously that he is wanting to water down the second amendment to our glorious Constitution. I really hope that the good people of Arkansas have the intelligence to see this for what it really is: A smear campaign on the reputation of Rep. McDaniel designed to close the 15 point hole that Delay finds himself in. This is only the beginning of the onslaught and I for one am curious as to what the next attack will be. Maybe Delay will release a statement sometime next week to the tune of "according to sources inside the Jonesboro Police Department, where McDaniel was employed for a time, he was on several occasions caught being civil to known homosexuals."
