Kilgore dirty tricks phone call making the rounds

[dsewell]

"Honest Leadership for Virginia PAC" is sponsoring a dirty-tricks recorded call that is targeting VA Dems today.

It seems to be from Tim Kaine (I wasn't paying enough attention at the start of the message, but it sure sounded like it was claiming to be from "I, Tim Kaine"). It goes on to describe Kaine's position on issues so as to put him in the most convervative light possible: "I oppose abortion, I oppose gay marriage," etc. No outright untruths, but the purpose is obviously the same as the Potts mailer, to confuse voters who don't know much about the race and try to undercut support for Kaine among Dems/progressives.

If you get a call like this, please try to record and/or transcribe it to determine whether it is in fact impersonating Kaine, which would probably be a clear campaign violation.

1. sorry, I saw this too late to record the message (see the

other thread about this BS).

2. I got that stupid message too

Yesterday, it was only partial, no candidate mentioned, today, I heard the whole thing, and it says it's from Potts and talks about NARAL not supporting Kaine. I could have sworn it mentioned Virginia PAC 345, but I could be wrong. It's very crudely done.
