The Best Defense Is To Be Offensive (?)

Now that a complaint has been filed against the lying Gableman ad (C'mon Charlie and the AP both called it misleading. Let's split the difference here.) Darrin Schmitz is trying to defend the actions of his client.

He can't say that the ad doesn't misrepresent Louis Butler's role in the trial of Rueben Mitchell. Schmitz can't say that the ad doesn't lie about Mitchell's term being served or about the role of Public Defenders under the Constitution. Schmitz can't say that the ad doesn't use racial images to cause discomfort and to imply causation. So how can Schmitz defend the actions of his lying ad?

He disparaged Citizen Action as a "left-leaning organization tied to liberal
Democrats."

So, what? If your best defense against being called a low-life, bald-faced, stinking liar is to call your accuser a poo-poo-butt, pimple-head perhaps you are standing on shaky ground.
