PPA lashes out against I. Nelson Rose

[The Buzz]

The Poker Players Alliance has come out and publicly criticized noted gaming law expert I. Nelson Rose over comments Rose made about Rep. Joe Barton. Barton, the author of a federal online poker bill, is a Texas Republican and has some views away from the online poker spectra that Rose does not agree with.

From Gambling911:

The PPA accuses Rose of inserting his personal politics into the fight to legalize Web poker.

From the PPA:

I. Nelson Rose, a law professor with expertise on gaming law, has chosen to attack online poker supporter Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX). These attacks were made on CalvinAyre.com on October 21 st (listen here), on OnTilt Radio on December 5th, and in a recent column in Poker Player Magazine (here). The attacks center not on issues of the legislation itself, or even of poker-related issues. Rather, they focus on Rep. Barton’s politics and on Rose’s apparent disagreement with them. This is unfortunate and, in the opinion of the Poker Players Alliance, very misguided.
