AUSTIN, TX (AP) - A website for U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison contained hidden phrases including "rick perry gay."
Hutchison's campaign officials said they bought a tool that generates phrases to find out the most frequent web searches using Hutchison's and Gov. Rick Perry's names. Hutchison spokesman Jeff Sadosky said Hutchison's campaign was not condoning those words and did not know thousands of people would be searching for them. He said they would be removed from the site.
Perry's campaign is accusing the Hutchison team of being slanderous and of setting a negative and divisive tone. The two Republicans are running for governor in next year's GOP
primary.
