I really wish this was some new trick that someone had thought up but the reality is its been around since at least JFK. I have heard of it being done occasionally by Dems, but far more often by the elephant side. Regardless, it is an ugly tactic.

I'm not going to point fingers but there is no doubt that at least this time around it is once again the Republicans who are lying to voters. Why not just send out a letter asking for donations with the "Do Not Forward" on it? The Repubs would still have the names and addresses of voters in doubt without the lies.
