It was reported in all the news accounts. Obviously once the story broke about the cigarettes, whether the recruiters were employed by or volunteering for the Gore campaign organization or the Democrats was a HUGE issue. The reporters tracked the woman who had planned the stunt down, and she confirmed she was acting on her own. The person who wrote the editorial either knew that and lied by omission, or didn't know because s/he was too lazy to check the facts--neither of which sheds a positive light on *his/her* credibility. Not to mention the *main* point, which is that even if Gore had been indirectly responsible, to mention this incident was not only the fallacy of guilt by association, but completely *irrelevant* guilt by association.
