For years now the following text, written by a Republican Party operative, continues to appear as a letter to the editor in multiple papers with false claims of authorship by people with local names and addresses:
President Bush has a clear plan for victory in Iraq that begins with training Iraqi forces so they can defend their country and fight the terrorists. We are making tremendous progress towards this objective. Withdrawing from Iraq, as Democrats in Washington propose, would send a dangerous signal to our enemies that we cut and run when the going gets tough. President Bush is offering a clear strategy to win, not a political quick fix.
The latest example of this comes with the signature of William York of Princeton, who falsely signs his name as author to this Republican National Committee letter in a letter published in the Bluefield Daily Telegraph of August 29, 2007.
What, did you think they were going to just roll over? Oh, nooooo . . . they’re still pandering, and ya know what? There’s still a lot of gullible, ignorant, uncaring, big business interested, able to be bought or hoodwinked by rigged elections – type morons out there to get them by. Remember, Rove’s “out there” and that War is the official product/attitude of NASCAR, Pro Sports, and Fox News. Don’t forget to shop America!
