Indiana Sues Swift Boater's New Attack Group



Indiana Sues Swift Boater's New Attack Group
By Paul Kiel - September 18, 2006, 11:54 AM

The state of Indiana sued the right-wing Economic Freedom Fund today, to stop it from harrassing residents with automated "robo calls" supporting a GOP congressional candidate. The suit, by Indiana Attorney General Mike Carter (R) seeks a preliminary injunction stopping the calls immediately.

The Economic Freedom Fund was responsible for an unknown number of calls last week in Indiana's ninth district, attacking the Dem challenger, Baron Hill. His opponent, Rep. Mike Sodrel (R-IN), who trails Hill by nine points according to the latest polls, has denied knowing anything about the calls. (For details and a recording of the call, see our story last week.).........

5. There is a sense that there is a blue tide approaching Indiana
I am cautiously optimistic that Baron Hill can defeat his useless GOP incumbent.

3. Bob Perry is an asshole.
Not that that's news to anyone. But it can never be reiterated enough.

4. Uh-oh, I may lose twenty bucks ... but it probably won't be before
the election ... and, if they maintain, it will be tied up in endless appeals to the ruling ...

9. Sued by Republican AG too
Very interesting....Attorney General Steve Carter is a mainline Republican and the Pukes run the state government (at the moment).

So it's sweet to see them having to defend the state against their own scum relatives.
