Republicans Fire Up the Smear Machine

Unable to challenge Barnes's story on the merits, the President and the Republicans have fired up the smear machine.

Scott McClellan: "It is not surprising coming from a longtime partisan Democrat."

Ed Gillespie: "In a preemptive memo to GOP leaders Tuesday night, Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie sought to portray Barnes as an unreliable witness and charged that Democrats were 'implementing a strategy of vicious personal attacks against the president and vice president.'"

The Republican Attacks on Ben Barnes are Baseless

Ben Barnes is not a "longtime partisan Democrat". In fact, he has close ties to the Republicans — including Scott McClellan's family.

Just RNC "Pattern and Practice 101"

From the release:

Time and time again, when faced with an assertion that they cannot challenge on the merits, the Republicans smear, relying on four go-to options: destroy their character; impugn their motives; fire them; and/or threaten them with legal action.
