Rumor And Truth

Rumor: Roger Stone, the legendary Republican operative skilled in the dark arts of politics, was somehow involved with the Foundation for a Secure and Prosperous America, that 501 (c) 4 that ran pro-McCain ads in South Carolina.

Fact: Stone, in a telephone interview today, completely denies that he had anything at all to do it... and doesn't seem to be a big fan of McCain's to begin with.

Rumor: Despite the denials, James Dobson is on the verge of endorsing Mike Huckabee.

Truth: This column was among the lucky few who heard the original rumor on Friday, but, because it could not get an independent source, did not go with the story. Tom Minnery, Dobson's chief political aide, reinforced the denial today with me. And on his radio show this morning, Dobson said he was nowhere near endorsing anyone.

Comments

I think Dobson will endorse Huckabee later. Huckabee is a moral man with convictions. Dobson will endorse the best candidate and I believe Huckabee to be that man!

Yes, Dobson will eventually walk outside onto his balcony in Colorado Springs, and point his finger at the "Chosen One." Who cares who Dobson picks? We're electing a president not a pastor.

If Dobson wanted to endorse and/or help Huckabee he would not issuing denials everyday now.

These denials hurt Huckabee.
Dobson is hurting Huckabee.

"Stone, in a telephone interview today, completely denies that he had anything at all to do it."

And who would be so low as to doubt the word of Roger Stone?
