Did NH Democrats Plant Fliers To Create Smear Against Nashua Republican?

I’d bet money that the AG’ office discovers nothing in their investigation.  That the reason they discover nothing is because this was a stunt perpetrated by New Hampshire Democrats, right before an election, to put bad press into the Nashua paper about the Republican opponent.

While a spokesman for the attorney general provided few details, New Hampshire Democrats said they filed the complaint Monday after witnessing what they believe was distribution of an “illegal campaign flier” benefitting Republican candidate Peter Silva.

It’s a great smear tactic executed by the smear masters themselves.  Speaking of which…

“Breaking the law may be the only way Peter Silva’s irresponsible extremist friends think they can return his out of touch ideology to the State House, but that doesn’t make it right,” Kirstein said in a statement.

I lauged out loud.  Harrell ‘Jersey Shore’  Kirstein, who is or has simultaneously been the spokesperchild for both OFA-NH and the NH Democrat Party (pardon my being redunant) continues to amuse.

But Pete Silva, win or lose, is the real hero in this story.

Silva said he was not responsible for the campaign material, and called it ridiculous and absurd to suggest he violated election laws, given his prior experience in office.

“I know the game,” he said. “I know the rules.” …

“I didn’t do it,” he reiterated Monday. “I have no idea how it happened, and you know what? The bottom line is there are a lot of things in there that are true, so face up to it.”

The state Republican party could learn a lesson from Pete Silva.
