As many of you know, I lived in North Carolina for sixteen years, during all of which Jesse Helms was one of the senators. Even by that standard, I'm stunned by this ad.
Hagan has a counter-ad up:
... "not bearing false witness." Heh.
You can donate to Hagan's campaign through ActBlue. (That specific link is to the "This Kind of politics will not be tolerated" donation page.) It might take that sick feeling out of your mouth.
WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE WEAK GET RIDICULOUS.... Recent polling shows Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R) trailing in her re-election fight in North Carolina against Democrat Kay Hagan, so it stands to reason that she's getting a little desperate.
I didn't think she'd get this desperate.
Sen. Elizabeth Dole's latest advertisement suggests her Democratic opponent, Kay Hagan, is a godless heathen.Seriously, Dole used a Hagan impersonator to make voters think she's an atheist.
"A leader of the Godless Americans PAC recently held a secret fundraiser for Kay Hagan," the 30-second spot says, showing footage of the group's members talking about their atheist beliefs on cable news.
"Godless Americans and Kay Hagan. She hid from cameras. Took godless money," the ad concludes. "What did Kay Hagan promise in return?"
At the very end of the ad, a voice sounding like Hagan's says: "There is no God."
It's hard to know where to start with an ad this deplorable. First, Hagan is actually a Sunday school teacher and an elder in her church. Second, the fundraiser in question was co-hosted by 40 people, one of whom is on the board of an atheist political action committee. Third, there's nothing scandalous about non-believers.
