Americans For Legal Immigration Claiming That Jim Gilchrist Faked Huckabee Press Release
Interesting press release from ALIPAC:
Gilchrist put out a press release on Iowa’s election eve, under the fake name of “Perry Emerson” that contained several false statements and embellishments of Huckabee’s immigration stances. The release claimed Huckabee would try to reverse birthright citizenship laws, which are widely exploited by illegal aliens.
“We are doing our best to get the truth about these lies, and the hidden amnesty component of the Huckabee immigration plan to the public,” says William Gheen of ALIPAC. “So far, the majority of the national media is not reporting these facts and voters wonder why they are hearing the news from us instead of CNN and Fox. This is a grand national deception in motion and it is absolutely blasphemous that voters are being deceived on a massive scale.”
Clearly, something went wrong with that press release and I certainly wouldn’t put it past someone like Gilchrist to fake a press release. The question is, did he do it with Huckabee’s approval or did he act on his own?
I’d suggest that he acted on his own, as Huckabee isn’t so stupid as to let one of his surrogates put out a press release saying he supports some major policy he really doesn’t. Either way, Huckabee’s decision to cling to Gilchrist as a way of shoring up his rather soft stance on illegal immigration seems to be backfiring badly.
