STATEMENT FROM JACK KIMBALL, EXPLORATORY CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR, ON DOUG LAMBERT'S COMMENTS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOVEMBER 14, 2009
PORTSMOUTH, NH-As someone who has watched Ray Buckley smear and assail political leaders in a personal manner over many years it is regrettable that Doug Lambert lowered himself and Granite Grok to Mr. Buckley's standard on his show this morning. While a political leader's opinions and policies should always be open for thoughtful analysis, great care should be taken when discussing personal matters. Comments such as the ones made by Doug Lambert add nothing to the important discussion of the issues facing New Hampshire. There are certain standards of decency that should be observed and unfortunately Mr. Lambert's comments did not live up to those standards.
Regardless of the source, personal attacks and language of this kind have no place in New Hampshire politics, particularly since we take pride in setting a political example and model for the rest of the nation.
I reject Mr. Lambert's comments as they were inappropriate, hurtful, and offensive.
Today's New Hampshire Republican Party, ladies and gentlemen.
Adding: to be clear, it's a good sign that Bradley, Lamontagne, and (kinda sorta) Guinta distanced themselves. And I am especially pleased that Kevin Smith, perhaps the state's most prominent foe of the right of gays and lesbians to marry, didn't equivocate like Kimball did in his denunciation.
But ultimately, when the chair of the NHGOP felt it okay to call marriage equality "garbage," he lowered the bar and set the stage for this development.
