Huckleberries: Out Of Context

Things are getting curiouser and curiouser in the uber-conservative attempt to overthrow Coeur d’Alene’s City Hall. In a debate earlier in the campaign, GOPartisan Chris Fillios claimed his opponent, Amy Evans, was a self-described “progressive liberal.” (This, after she’d called him a nice guy.) Now, a transcript has surfaced on a North Idaho tea party blog containing the word-for-word comments by Evans at the monthly Progressive Dinner at Seasons restaurant in September. During the dinner, Evans referred to the label hung on her and others who helped start Coeur d’Alene Education Partnership by uber-conservative newspaper letter writers: “progressive liberals.” Seems someone secretly recorded her comments (which is legal but doesn’t pass the smell test). But Evans’ detractors failed to provide the context of her comments/DFO, Sunday Huckelberries, SR. More here.

Question: Have you ever been secretly recorded?
