Lies... Damn Lies... And... Well... Kevin Coughlin...Part II

Some people would not know the truth if it slapped them up-side the head. Unfortunately, for his constituents, Tom Noe-trained Kevin Coughlin has a truth problem.

Kevin couldn't tell enough lies and half-truths on his regular website so he created a shadow website to spew the venom that was too defamatory for his regular website (it takes work to make that much stuff up, but no lie is too big for Coughlin). Some of Kevin's "anonymous" attacks:

1. Kevin claims Summit County's leadership is under investigation by the FBI - Kevin's confusing his own friends with our party's leadership.

2. Kevin claims that the Summit County Republican Party "cut off Don Plusquellic's 2003 opponent late in the campaign, leaving the Republican candidate twisting in the wind." The City of Akron's campaign finance laws permit the Summit County Republican Party to give a Republican Candidate for Mayor of Akron $300. That's right folks, $300. Anything more is a crime.

3. Kevin claims that "In 2006, [the Summit County Republican Party Chairman] stated that there were conditions under which he and the Summit County Republican Party would support Ted Strickland for Governor." That is false. The Summit County Republican Party raised over $346,000 for the Republican Candidate for governor, Ken Blackwell. (See http://keepsummitcountyrepublicansstrong.blogspot.com/2007/08/summit-county-republican-party.html.)

Kevin Coughlin simply cannot tell the truth. It's just not in him to be honest.
