Dirty Tricks in Kentucky
11.06.07 -- 11:33AM
By David Kurtz

Today is Election Day in a few states, including Kentucky, where there is a hard-fought (read: nasty) gubernatorial race between scandal-tarred Republican governor, Ernie Fletcher, and Democratic nominee Steve Beshear.

Just yesterday, in an effort to boost his prospects among conservative voters, Fletcher put up a display containing the Ten Commandments in the state Capitol Rotunda, and a robocall from Pat Boone is warning that Beshears will work for "every homosexual cause."

Now comes word of a second anti-Beshear robocall with an anti-gay-themed message. This one purports to be from an actual gay rights organization in Kentucky and touts Beshears' support for "the homosexual lobby." But the group, Fairness.org, denies any being responsible for the call. The Fletcher campaign also denies any involvement.

We're trying to track down the source of this call. If any of our Kentucky readers have received this latest robocall, shoot us an email. We want to hear from you.
