Again, thanks go to Karen Dalton Bebinato for having the courage to run the story. To my knowledge, none of the other local news outlets have touched it. I'm surprised that none of Georges' many supporters have chimed in here or at NewOrleans.com to attempt any justification of their candidate's comments. I assume the official policy of the Georges campaign is to ignore bad press until it goes away. If you have a blog, please make sure it doesn't "go away" by posting the youtube embed. If you listen carefully to the clip, you will hear Georges state quite clearly that everyone makes mistakes, but that when *he* makes a mistake he is always "the first to admit it." Well, newsflash; he mistakenly slandered myself, my wife and two of our friends by calling us "dangerous people" and "political operatives." He knew nothing about us, did not know who we were, had never seen us before, and had no call to jump to such outrageous conclusions. Turns out, he was wrong. Hey, we're all human. Like the man said, we all make mistakes. Mr. Georges, I am waiting for you to admit your mistake. An apology would be a nice touch.
