Seen an Oberweis mailer lately? The Chicago Tribune has
If you've received a mailer from the Oberweis campaign, you know that Jim Oberweis has had a problem with the truth. Today, the Chicago Tribune recognized this and wrote an editorial taking Jim Oberweis to task for his tactics.
FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE:
"Pure coincidence? Makes us think any similarity between the Oberweis campaign and the truth is pure coincidence.
He's done this kind of thing before. In 2006, he ran a TV ad that used fake headlines from several newspapers to trash his Republican opponent for governor, Judy Baar Topinka. The ad had the Tribune masthead above a headline that said: "Investigation into Topinka." The Tribune didn't run that headline or those words.
This page endorsed Bill Foster earlier this week. One reason for that decision: Oberweis has shown in four campaigns that he plays fast and loose with the truth."
