“Levin told KATU-TV that his phone has been ringing around the clock and his answering machine is recording threats”
I phart in his general direction.
At worst, that's an Obama-approved technique of "getting in the faces" of those who disagree.
How cynical is the AP?
You've got a guy who was, by his own admission and deeds, running a political dirty tricks operation.
They're accepting at face value his assertion that he is being threatened.
A guy who has demonstrably lied for political advantage, will lie for political advantage again.
It's not a question of whether anyone should believe Levin...that train has left the station.
What should concern AP? Their own credibility...although I guess that train has left the station, too.
