Right-Wing Smear Mystery Deepens

The intrigue surrounding the Dominican prostitution smear of New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez is expanding to implicate the right-wing web site The Daily Caller, run by bow-tied B.S.-er  Tucker "Mothertucker" Carlson.  A prosecutor in the Dominican Republic is saying that the attorney representing the prostitutes that Menendez was accused of procuring said that he was offered money by someone claiming to represent The Daily Caller to plant the story.

Mothertucker, of course, is denying any involvement in the alleged payments.  If his outfit is proven to have been involved, it would fit the pattern of right-wing media organizations (Breitbart and James "G. Gordon Diddy" O'Keefe come to mind) that will lie and fabricate to bring political opponents down.  This time, however, the FBI is on the case for possible criminal violations, so stay tuned.

Right Wing Smear Coming Unraveled

It appears that the right-wing smear campaign against Dem Sen. Bob Menendez (NJ) is unraveling. The formerly great Washington Post Kaplan Daily is reporting that the Dominican Republic prostitute who was allegedly paid by the Senator to engage in sex is saying she was paid to lie about him. According to her, a Dominican lawyer, saying he was representing another lawyer who was retained for a divorce case, paid her to allege that Sen. Menendez engaged her services for sex. Where the trail leads remains to be seen, but the right-wing blog The Daily Caller, Tucker "Mothertucker" Carlson's poo machine, was the leading promoter of the story for weeks. There are serious criminal issues at stake, which is why the FBI is investigating. If it leads to the door of some known propagandists and operators for the far right, would it be any surprise?
