That article sucks royally. More eyes, please. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_McMahan
The major problem is that the "controversy" (which I have largely removed now) is reported only in one local tabloid, with a single reprint cited. It does indeed look as if we are being used to promote a vendetta.
I have asked on Talk for reliable secondary sources for the significance of the allegations. A Wall Street Journal profile would be nice...
My Factiva subscription gives precisely zero hits on McMahan outside of the campaign by the Broward New Times. Not one.
