NIXON SMILES:

Parallels Drawn Between CBS Memos, Texan's Postings (Michael Dobbs, September 18, 2004, Washington Post)

The former Texas National Guard officer suspected of providing CBS News with possibly forged records on President Bush's military service called on Democratic activists to wage "war" against Republican "dirty tricks" in a series of Internet postings in which he also used phrases similar to several employed in the disputed documents. [...]

In e-mail messages to a Yahoo discussion group for Texas Democrats over the past few months, Burkett laid out a rationale for using what he termed "down and dirty" tactics against Bush. He said he had passed his ideas to the Democratic National Committee but that the DNC seemed "afraid to do what I suggest."

Remember back in the 70's when reporters exposed dirty tricks instead of assisting in them?
