BushtroTurf
The Times Here:
Hmmm.... Presumably the fact that the email came right from the Bush-Cheney campaign—that is, was just propaganda instead of a personally composed letter to the editor—would be detectable from the mail header... Unless the Republicans have managed to spoof the mail headers to hide the true origins of the BustroTurf?
The Bush-Cheney 2004 Web site provides a link for sending the letters by e-mail, including the addresses of regional newspapers, plus writing tips ("Be clear and concise") along with pre-written blocks of Mr. Bush's policy positions ("The president understands the necessity to manage forest and rangelands") that a supporter can simply cut and paste into the Web site's e-mail form. Mr. Mehlman said that 37,000 e-mail messages had been sent to newspaper editors, but that he did not know how many had made their way into print.
