Pretty damn low. Politico reports:
The newscast-style video on Liberty.com features a woman seated before a backdrop of Liberty.com’s Las Vegas headquarters, criticizing Castle and praising O’Donnell.
“Isn’t Mike Castle cheating on his wife with a man?” asks a voice off-screen at the 1:55 mark.
“That’s the rumor,” answers the newscaster. (A short clip of the exchange is above.)
My colleague Dave Catanese reported earlier this month that O’Donnell’s spokesman, Yates Walker, works for Liberty.com, and the American Spectator described Eric Odom, the group’s founder, as having “joined Team O’Donnell” to organize online support.
Walker told me he and the firm left the campaign two weeks ago and produced the video on their own.
Here’s the part of the video in question (you can watch the whole video here):
Just in case you think that the O’Donnell campaign is trying to keep some plausible deniability, here’s the comment of Yates Walker, O’Donnell’s former spokesman:
Walker said he had no compunction about repeating the rumor about Castle because “he’s a threat to American sovereignty.”
All I have to add is boo hiss. There’s really no low they won’t sink to.
