Last spring, before Democrat Kathy Hochul won NY's traditionally red, 26th congressional district, the virtuous folks at Tea Party Express emailed diatribe after tirade after screed about their suspicion that the Democratic Party had planted a fake Tea Partying candidate in the race, to subtract from the Republican candidate's votes.
These weeping Tea Partiers were Expressly livid. They were spitting killer-rabbit pellets. They were fuming, incensed, outraged and utterly beside themselves that even godless Democrats could stoop so dishonorably low as to contaminate the electorate's clear choices.
This weekend the chaste TPE has treated my inbox with this update, regarding the Wisconsin recall campaigns (capitalization original, though inexplicable):
Republicans ... put six "fake" Democrats on the ballot to force these RECALL primaries. The results were fantastic - some of these fake Democrats actually came within single digits of the Democrat candidates running to unseat the Republicans.
Integrity, always integrity.
