Fisher’s Republican rival Brandt Iden told the news outlet that he did not condone the mailer.

Iden further stated:
“But hey, if it siphons off a few more (D) and (I) votes?
Hell, she’s already gonna’ croak.
So, as a typical (R) I’ll distance myself-- but I’m really good with it!”

He needs to put an answering machine on that line. Great ad material will generate itself in no time.

Legal action? Is this actionable? Sounds like a harassment conspiracy, error or not.

“… while the number listed on the mailer is registered under Fisher’s name, it is a direct line to his elderly mother Isabel Kramb’s room at a hospice facility …”

Does anybody really think this was an accident? Please. Looks like the work of some college republicans working for state GOP. They stop at nothing with their juvenile dirty tricks.

…Just think about what the lunatic callers will be saying to this poor old woman. I hope they keep recordings of the calls and play them back in campaign ads. Let Republicans know just exactly what kind of people they are supporting and voting for.

I’m speechless.

There is no level they won’t strive to sink to.

Obviously, the GOP only cares for young women in near vegetative states like Terri Schiavo.

Candidate John Fisher still lives with mom? No kidding!

“Fisher’s Republican rival Brandt Iden told the news outlet that he did not condone the mailer.”

Nothing to do with me. And don’t expect those guys at party headquarters to accept responsibility or apologize, either. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll find an intern to blame. We’re Republicans, don’tcha know.

He’s a son taking care of his mother by providing phone service. Either you’re trying to make a funny or you’re some tea bagger clown.

Under no circumstances do I ever vote for any Republican. EVER

And they can’t really unmail those mailers to correct the bad Obamacare info or remove the phone number. Intentional accidents like this just keep the teabaggers fired up but likely also backfire and remind the non-crazies what wackos the Republicans are.

The entire backside of the mailer said, Donate Today to End Affordable Health Care and Make Sure That We Never Have It.

It seems to me that putting a private phone number out, be it his or his Mother’s, is unethical. Of course unethical is a synonym for Republican.

What Republican Brandt Iden then really wanted to tell the news outlet

We find her son to be objectionable - and accordingly she bears some responsibility for raising him … so … that is how we justify this…
