Congressman Mike Fitzpatricks campaign is going after Kathy Boockvar on the topic of debates with over-the-top language that makes it seem as if the Democratic challenger pushed a grandmother in a wheelchair off a cliff.

A Friday afternoon press release assails Boockvars campaign for not scheduling debates, when in fact she has scheduled several that Fitzpatrick has not agreed to.

It is unfair for the serious, locally-based community organizations to be used as pawns and ignored by the Boockvar campaign. Frankly, its an embarrassment, wrote Faith Bender, Fitzpatricks campaign manager, in a news release.

Boockvars respect for the process and local community is mortifying and shameful. It is a travesty that Boockvar is making a mockery of this long-standing and respected tradition in our community.

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Fitzpatrick appears to be the candidate declining those invitations from locally-based community organizations.

Boockvar has agreed to participate in debates sponsored by the AARP on Sept. 29; at Ohev Shalom Temple on Oct. 14; and at Heritage Creek in Warwick, sponsored by the Bucks County Coalition of Senior Communities on Oct. 24.

As far back as April 26, she agreed to a Sept. 27 debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Bucks County Womens Advocacy Coalition.

None of those are listed on Fitzpatricks debate schedule.
