Contrary to false rumors (read that as outright lies) spread by the Vito Lopez machine (in the long tradition of the Brooklyn machine at least from Clarence Norman on), Steve Harrison has announced he is in the primary for the NY-13 race to the end. He also tells me he has had over 450 contributions online alone in the past 2 days.
Let me take this opportunity to reiterate that in every Brooklyn primary I have been a part of I have heard lies about people dropping out. In most cases it hasn't been true. These lies are spread by people on blogs, on the street while petitioning, through email, etc. It is a tactic, Occasionally I have seen anti-machine people use it, but generally it is the machine using it. This is just one more case of the operation of a political machine that has no interest in truth, governance or even, in most cases, beating Republicans. It is a political machine whose one and only goal is the maintenance of their own power.
And to the individual who has in another thread been spreading such rumors and accusing me of ignorance, I have this to say: Bite me.
