Top Republicans pushed Swift-Boating Graeme Frost

This tells everything we need to know about the so-called values and morality of the Republican Party.

We already knew that an aide to Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell sicced reporters on to smearing the 12 year-old Graeme Frost for (legitimately) taking needed heath care benefit from S-Chip. Here is what happened:

the office of the top Republican in the U.S. Senate has now publicly admitted that it actively tried to get mainstream reporters to participate in the smearing of a 12-year-old and his family -- before it was even known whether there was any truth to what the wingers were writing.

McConnell's staff has admitted that they directed reporters to pursue the attack on the Frost's. Did they back off because the publicity got bad when Michelle Malkin went to the home of the Frosts and accosted them?

Not really. They backed off when the attack began to rebound negatively on the Republicans themselves. It was displaying the fact that the republican Party is the party of 'slime and smear' and not of taking care of children who need health care.
