Dirty tricks have been part of their tactics for years.

Segretti’s involvement in the “Canuck letter” typifies the tactics Segretti and others working with him used, forging a letter ascribed to Senator Edmund Muskie which maligned the people, language and culture of French Canada and French Canadians, causing the soon to be Democratic presidential candidate Muskie considerable headaches in denying the letter and having to continue dealing with the issue. Many historians have indicated over the years that Muskie’s withdrawal from the Presidential primaries was at least partly the result of Segretti and some of the other “Ratfuckers” creating so much confusion and false accusations that Muskie simply could not respond in any meaningful way.
