Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is the hot seat for allegedly stealing a coveted email list in order to target Iowa voters.
The Iowa Republican reports the Network of Iowa Christian Home Educators sent an email to its members saying Bachmann's campaign used their email list without permission.
"I want to apologize on behalf of the NICHE Board and advise you that we discovered that our list of homeschool contacts was uploaded without our knowledge or permission by the Michele Bachmann Campaign and used twice for e-mails from her campaign," Justin E. LaVan, president of NICHE, said in an email to its staff.
LaVan told the Des Moines Register he's unsure how the campaign got hold of the emails addresses, which belong to thousands of homeschool families, advocates, donors, vendors and businesses.
They don't know how it happened. I bet not. How does one steal thousands of email addresses? None of the answers look good. Including the Bachmann response, which says it was "inadvertent" and that is so far their only statement. Which part is that, exactly? The part where they were obtained illegally without permission, or the part where it was used to send messages to gain an unfair advantage? If it's the latter, was it an accident the first or second time?
I've called bullshit on her so many times I can't bear to do it again. I'm calling mushrooms! Mushrooms blossom on big piles of bullshit, so it seems appropriate.
