The Republican Smear Machine at Work

According to the Carpetbagger Report, Think Progress has the e-mail that was sent by a staffer of Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell with the purpose of attacking the child who spoke in favor of S-CHIP. Don Stewart, communications director for McConnell, sent an e-mail to reporters that smeared the child and his family.

Senator Mitch McConnell should be ashamed of himself and his staff member. According to the Cincinnati Post, 54,000 in Kentucky get their health insurance through S-CHIP. Does McConnell care about the poor children in his state? Apparently not. Has McConnell fired Don Stewart yet? Contact McConnell's office here.
