Soldier's Mom Insulted
Fox News
The mother of a soldier who died in Iraq is not happy with Nevada Democratic Senate candidate Jack Carter— the son of Jimmy Carter. Eleanor Dachtler tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal that she was insulted by a blind letter from the campaign asking her to participate in an event with Carter so he could criticize the president and Carter's Republican opponent and draw media coverage.
Dachtler said: "I thought, 'this guy is a BLANK.'" She got mad again when she saw Carter on TV with a group of paraplegics — saying she suspected the candidate was trying to exploit them, too.
Dachtler says several Nevada lawmakers — including Carter's opponent, John Ensign, were helpful to her after her son died. The Carter campaign says it did not intend to exploit Dachtler and meant no disrespect.
