The Republican majority leader of the Florida House of Representatives on Monday dismissed Democrats' criticism of John McCain's vice presidential nominee's prior support for the controversial television pundit and presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan.

In a surprise move, McCain tapped Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, drawing fire from liberal Jewish leaders who cited her past praise for Buchanan.

"It's propaganda invented by the Democrats, and it's unfortunate they were trying to make these accusations without any factual basis," said Adam Hasner, who represents the Boca Raton district in the Florida legislature. "It has been verified she never endorsed Buchanan, never worked for him and I think that those democrats who were making those accusation owe Gov. Palin an apology." 

Looks like reflexive spin to me.
