Steve King Lashes Out at KingWatch.org

In a story in the July 30 Council Bluffs Nonpareil, congressman Steve King's spokesperson attacked the KingWatch website -- but not for the accuracy of dozens of points the website makes about King and the terrible things he does.

Ann Trimble-Ray, King's campaign spokeswoman could only say that you shouldn't trust the facts presented on KingWatch because it's authors choose to remain anonymous. Many, many writers have chosen to remain anonymous in perilous times, just like the authors of The Federalist Papers did in post-Revolutionary War times. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black wrote eloquently about anonymous political writing and why in unsettled times writers sometimes have to protect their livelihood and their safety when making important points.

So Steve: if you have something to say about http://www.kingwatch.org/ why not speak to the points it brings up? Could it be that King finds it hard to defend the indefensible?
