IL-5: Forys And Peraica Bring The Crazy

I was unaware that 5th District Democratic candidate Victor Forys had enlisted the support of GOP Cook County Commissioner Tony Peraica, but apparently so.  And as a recent Forys press release attacking Mike Quigley shows, the Peraica strain of extreme rhetoric is clearly rubbing off:

Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley has sent out nearly 10 mail pieces showing Commissioner Quigley standing next to Commissioner Forest Claypool slamming Cook County Board President Todd Stroger.

The Minister of Propaganda for Germany in World War II, said “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."  

"Commissioner Mike Quigley is telling a big lie, and he is repeating it over and over and over," said Dr. Victor Forys, M.D. "That is what you can expect from a career, recycled, politician like Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley," said Dr. Victor Forys.

There's nothing like seeing a congressional candidate cite the Nazis' "Big Lie" theory to start your morning off with a bang.

(P.S. Is it too late to slap Patrick Fitzgerald's photo on some Forys mailers?)
