There are ducks at the beef plant? Really? { 0 }

This is a guest post I wrote for Cotton Mouth. Find the original post here.

The Clarion-Ledger in this piece points out a fact:

[Former Gov. Ronnie] Musgrove has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

But here’s what I just don’t get: The good folks over at Y’all Politics post about it, and the commenters start in about walking and sounding like a duck.

Recent attacks on job losses are unfounded. Attacks on his fiscal record are taken out of context. The fact that neither Minor nor Scruggs had been accused of jack squat when they donated to his gubernatorial campaigns is ignored.

And the simple truth is that Musgrove has not been accused of any wrongdoing with the beef plant. A grand jury said so, despite what Y’all Politics readers and the RNSC wants to say.

Jere Nash said it best in his blog post:

You would think that with the resources available to the national Republican Party they could come up with something new to say about Musgrove. But all they can do is recycle and repackage old news. Kind of the lazy man’s way to run a campaign.

But, hey. Who cares about the truth when rehashing falsehoods is so easy? Right?
