     You're twisting things.  O'Donnell was specifically addressing the
     statement that no one from the LNC contacted Koerner.  Which,
     according
     to O'Donnell, isn't true, as O'Donnell reported that he personally
     *did*
     contact Koerner.  O'Donnell was referring to that particular claim
     and
     refuting it.
     Stop trying to take the statement from one LNC member, where he's
     specifically addressing a particular issue, and twist it into some
     "collective" bad action by the LNC.
