Glad to see Coker was for illegal immigration before he was against it

Breaking: INS Documents Contradict Corker's Coverup
The following breaking information seem to indicate that Bob (The Fraud) Corker has been lying about the situation involving his former company hiring illegal immigrants back in the 1980's:

Bob Corker may talk tough on immigration, but the company he owned was investigated by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) for employing illegal workers on a Memphis construction project in 1988, according to INS documents. INS documents obtained by the Ford campaign show the investigation was opened after two visits by the INS to the construction site on which Corker’s company, Bencor, was the general contractor.

...

“Bob Corker took the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ approach and broke the law,” said Ford Campaign Senior Advisor Michael Powell. “The fact is that Bob Corker and his company turned their heads even after being put on notice that there were reports of illegal workers at the site. The INS opened an investigation on Bencor, which continued to use illegal workers who were eventually arrested and deported.

“If the immigration bill that Bob Corker says he supports today was the law when this investigation took place, he would be facing a criminal investigation. If the law had been followed in this case, Bob Corker and Bencor officers would have been held liable,” Powell added.

1. Whoops!

I wonder how their campaign manager will spin this one? They'll have to call up Rove for help:hide:

2. Right now is when Ford should be blasting this

while Corker is showing those ads from the Arizona border and talking immigration. :banghead:

3. I must have terrible political instincts because I thought the opposite

Bryant and Hilleary have been blasting Corker for this so I thought 'sit back and take this on after the primary is over.'

They've also been having a field day with "Corker was pro choice before he became pro life and it has been amusing to read about in the local rag.

Have you by chance seen Ford's newest ad? I haven't, but I have seen Corker's (I tuned in the local tv station at 6:30 a.m. to catch the weather) and it wasn't pleasant to see his mug that early on my tv screen, and jeeeez is he ever laying it on thick about his family values crap. Of course it probably didn't help that he'd just been very defensive about Wonkette's having his daughter, Julia's, photos on the web, and those photos don't exactly jive with his family values spew.

4. This is good news for Ford

I saw Harold Ford yesterday at Jackson Day celebration at the Ryman in Nashville.

He said to expect attack on him and his family. He counter unless they can find a way for him to pick his family they should shut up!!!!

Of course should Coker get the nomination he can throw this back in his face, but I think Coker's campaign may be in a state of meltdown.

Here is the like to Wonkette

5. The rightwing editorial(cough, cough) of the Chattanooga paper

endorsed Corker today. Will it help or be the kiss of death? Just gotta wonder about that one.

6. Corker's add

about his mission trip just gets under my skin. What a wanker to brag on himself like that.
