Richard Mack, the controversial speaker for the Kootenai County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner March 24, sent this response to the Coeur d'Alene Press editorial ("What's behind Mack attack") this week: "You entirely used things about me that have very little to do with my record and what I've done. You brought up "militias" and "legalized drugs." Well, I have never been involved with any militia group in my life and you have seen nothing to support that I have. You attempt to make me the "black eye" when I have never committed a crime and have not forged anything relating to this entire situation. But someone appears to have done that there and you focused on me? Whether I am too far right for your tastes has nothing to do with the fact that the dishonesty displayed by some of the neocons in your backyard have nothing to do with my 'extremist' views."
