All is fair in love and war. If you are against somebody, fling as much mud as you can and something will stick. One can always yell that the daughter of the chairman of the church committee is a prostitute. If that's what it takes to ensure he is not re-elected, does it really matter that he only has sons? Right?
Good thing that decent people usually see right through this bullsh!t.
"People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule
