You know, we've been at this RaisingKaine thing for 8 months now, and we've collected a whole bunch of great material on Jerry Kilgore. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to condense all the reasons NOT to vote for Jerry Kilgore into an easy-to-read "Top 25" list. But then I thought, that's too many in one shot. So, instead, I'll list a reason per day for the next 24 days, counting down -- David Letterman style - to #1 in early October. Anyway, here's #25!P.S. RaisingKaine reserves the right to add items to this countdown, assuming that Jerry Kilgore keeps saying and doing dumb shit.
25) Kilgore's top advisor is Scott Howell, the same guy who smeared triple-amputee and Vietnam War hero (and former Senator from Georgia) Max Cleland as a disloyal, unpatriotic, Saddam- and Osama-loving traitor. Oh yeah, Howell was also behind the racist "black hands" ad in the 2004 Oklahoma Senate race for his far-right-wing extremist client, Republican Tom Coburn (yeah, the same guy who favors the death penalty for doctors who perform abortions and is obsessed with "rampant lesbianism" in the schools of southeastern Oklahoma).
