In October 2008, Democratic S.C. House candidate Anton Gunn -- a seasoned pol who had previously served as Barack Obama's state-level consultant and political coordinator -- inexplicably accused his GOP opponent of running a "smear campaign" against him. The missives didn't offer any examples of the "smear" -- but one did request that people donate money to fight back. The accusations appeared in advertisements and a widely disseminated email.
In an email, Republican David Herndon challenged Gunn to either offer examples or retract the ads. A subsequent email from Gunn noted that outside groups had questioned Gunn's tax proposals but made no mention of Herndon.
