Goodhair's hatchetman, Dave CARNEY (Gingrich's ex-) same sleaze as Atwater, Ailes, KKKarl

[UTUSN]

In the news about GINGRICH’s big FAIL, I assumed that GOODHAIR’s former and new-again hatchetman, Dave CARNEY, was a product of Texas. Older pictures of him show him in coat and tie and tucked into a version of dignity. His sleaze has deep roots: DOLE, Poppy, SUNUNU, and his claim to fame is that he is in the footsteps of Lee ATWATER and Roger AILES.

David M. Carney (b. 1959), often quoted in news stories as "Dave Carney," is a Hancock, New Hampshire-based political consultant to Republican 527 groups, candidates, and office holders. He is currently the chief political advisor to Texas governor Rick Perry"<1><2> Carney is also the former political director for President George H.W. Bush.<3> Some have observed that Carney is "a master at the bare-knuckle politics that put former associates like Lee Atwater and Roger Ailes on the map." ....

Carney has been a top staffer or consultant for several industry-funded front groups with innocuous names -- Americans for Job Security is one -- using them "to criticize opponents without involving campaigns he works for."<[br />
In 2002, for example, Carney was executive director of AJS when it ran over $1 million in ads attacking Democrat Jeanne Shaheen, who was running for the US Senate from NH in opposition to John E Sununu. Carney, who was then also serving as an aide to Republican gubernatorial candidate Gordon Humphrey, encouraged his AJS colleagues to pay for calls encouraging Democratic voters to vote for Governor Shaheen's primary opponent. That plan did not go forward, but Carney was later forced to apologize for baselessly accusing Governor Shaheen's campaign of anonymous telephone and postcard attacks on Humphrey, which were in fact arranged by Republicans

1. Then we have to be sleazier

A good campaign makes your opponent wish they had never run, a great campaign makes your opponent wish they had never been born.
