When employees or people formally connected with an organisation or company do something wrong, they invariable are "acting on their own"; that is, their wrong action wasn't approved by the higher ups. So it seems by your answer that this person may very well have been formally part of the campaign. Unlike, say, the SwiftBoat Vets who were NOT officiall, formally or in any way, shape or form part of the Bush campaign. > > 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. > To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
