Politics is not for the faint of heart, especially in the final days of a tight race. Still, amid all the attack ads on the airwaves competing to out-ugly one another, we think we’ve found a winner.
Sen. Elizabeth Dole, a Republican of North Carolina is trying to hold onto her seat in an extremely close race, and to that end, she is attacking the religious faith of her opponent, Kay Hagan. Listen to the ad…
Yeah, you heard that right: “There is no God.” The only problem is Kay Hagan never said it. Never. Just a picture of her face over someone else’s audio. Kay Hagan is a member of the Presbyterian Church. She is a former Sunday school teacher.
The fundraiser the ad mentions was not hosted by the Godless American Political Action Committee. A member was one of 40 different co-hosts.
The information in this ad is so ridiculously misleading, and yet, Dole is standing by it and continuing to raise questions about Hagan’s so-called “godlessness” on the campaign trail. Is this really what it comes down to?
Yes, I think we might qualify as a 21st Century nation if silliness like this didn’t count. Do you know any voters who would be affected by tripe like this?

“Since I never said that, you have very interesting delusions.”
You did it!!!
“but since Obama has racist hate mongers supporting him it is a wash”
That is justification plane and simple!! Instead of speaking out against both you justified one because of the other.
#62 J said, “but since Obama has racist hate mongers supporting him it is a wash”
Well, if you are choosing between Obama or McCain it IS a wash. Unless, you think it is worse for one than the other?
Gotcha. Now, if you say I’m going 3rd party because of it then, you have a point. Are you voting for a 3rd party candidate J?
Hmmm?
# 63 Paddy
LOL you are truly delusional
The Obama Campaign has never preached hate. The McCain campaign has done it many times.
“Gotcha.”
Oh please! You self satisfying prick.
“Now, if you say I’m going 3rd party because of it then, you have a point. ”
Completely unrelated!! I don’t justify one hate because of another like you do. If I saw an O’bama supporter preaching hate I would decry it. You on the other hand witness an add from a Republican candidate and you think it is ok. Not to mention the countless videos out there of McCain supporters screaming every racial epitaph. If you think there is an equal amount of evidence doing the same on the obama side you should post it.
#64 J “The Obama Campaign has never preached hate. The McCain campaign has done it many times.”
We’re talking about RACIAL hate. Stick to what we are talking about. “What about all the Racist hate mongers that support John McCain?”
You are OWNED again.
Reminds me of when you said that during Carter or Clinton (one of them) you said there was NO FEDERAL DEFICIT. Then when I called you on the LIE you said you didn’t mean it.
You are done. Go to bed. No soup for you.
An ad against a Democrat is automatically sleazy.
An ad against a Republican is informative and comparative.
#67, Lyin’ Mike,
Ya, strange that the Republicans only preach the sleazy crap while the Democrats always try to stay on topic. I wonder if it isn’t because the Republicans don’t have anything else to say? No plan, no platform, no ethics, no record, … . Ya, must be why.
finally somebody that agrees with me!
E. Dole said:
Oh, it was the “God Bless Americans”, my bad.
Some of the very best political mud is slung in the Carolinas! Tops! This _almost_ rates up there with “boys and girls matriculating together” and “a practicing heterosexual!”
The saddest thing is that in this country of superstitious nonsense, being without religion is by definition bad. The percentage of bad people is roughly the same regardless of their alignment with a religious or non-religious camp.
There is no Gad. Grow up people and get over it.

You don’t learn so quick, do you O’Pinocchio?Under Clinton, THERE WAS NO FEDERAL DEFICIT.
Would you like me to say it again? Under Clinton, THERE WAS NO FEDERAL DEFICIT.
There was a federal debt, and if you paid attention the first time, you wouldn’t have to embarass yourself (again) by not realizing that the federal DEFICIT and the federal DEBT are not the same thing.
During the Clinton years, the spend-and-spend deficit spending policies of Poppy Bush were reversed, and the federal budget was operating in the black (although there was still debt.
Then when Dumbya siezed power, he spent and spent, and the federal debt approximately doubled, while the federal deficit went out of control.

I don’t know if I’d say it’s “automatic”, but it always seems to work out that way, doesn’t it?
Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned in that.
Jager, you are always entertaining. 😀

“We’re talking about RACIAL hate. Stick to what we are talking about. ”
Yeah???? The Obama campaign has never preached RACIAL hate or any other kind of hate. How does that change anything? Numb nuts!!
“Reminds me of when you said that during Carter or Clinton (one of them) you said there was NO FEDERAL DEFICIT. Then when I called you on the LIE you said you didn’t mean it.”
Uh! Sorry chief that wasn’t me. Perhaps you were debating yourself.
Pwned! Dipshit!
There is no god.
#71 Uncle Fatso – I saw a couple of thespians get kicked out of a restaurant for masticating in public.
#78, Councilor,
Oooo, that couldn’t have been a good sight. Were they, perchance, working on Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolff
#79 Mr. Fusebox – I believe it was an off-off-Broadway production of “The Virgina Monologues”.
#80, Councilor,
And did they enunciate their vowels properly?
There is nothing more politically incorrect in the U.S. than to *not* believe in supernatural beings.
Idiots.
