PastaJoe Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 The already-contentious North Carolina Senate race took a brutal turn Wednesday after incumbent Sen. Elizabeth Dole released a television ad suggesting challenger Kay Hagan is "Godless." “A leader of the Godless Americans PAC recently held a secret fundraiser for Kay Hagan,” the 30-second ad says before showing clips from members of the group declaring God and Jesus do not exist. “Godless Americans and Kay Hagan. She hid from cameras. Took godless money,” the ad's narrator also says. “What did Kay Hagan promise in return?” The ad ends with a female voice declaring, "There is no God." That quote is delivered by someone who sounds like Hagan, but those words have never been said by the candidate. The Dole campaign says it's basing its charge on Hagan's attendance at a fundraiser that was in the home of an advisor to the Godless Americans’ political action committee, a group that promotes rights for atheists. In a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Hagan said she has never heard of the Godless PAC and said the fundraiser in question had more than 40 hosts, including Sen. John Kerry. She also said she has contacted her lawyers to issue a cease-and-desist order on the commercial. "I am absolutely appalled at Elizabeth Dole's vile tactics," Hagan said. “This is politics of the worst kind, and I know it has been rejected by North Carolinians at every level. It is so unbecoming of a woman like Elizabeth Dole. This is a fabricated, pathetic ad." http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RkFast Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Libs spend all day decrying the evangelicals in America, poking fun of religion at every turn, and trying to force any semblence of religion behind closed doors. Yet when they get called on it, they get all pissy. Curious. Maybe Dole should have hung Kay Hagan in effigy. Ya know...as part of the campaign's "satirical" Halloween display outside Campaign Headquarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't misinterpret this as a defense of Palin, but she's done more on her own to get where she is than either of the "vote for me because you liked my husband" Senators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not allowed to complain because lying to get elected is the American way. Only people on the receiving end of the lie are allowed to be mad, to the other side its OK, because you deserve it anyway. USA! USA!! USA!!!

Johnny Coli Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I tried to buy lunch with some godless money yesterday. Cashier smote me with fire and brimstone. Damn pagan currency... Yet another plug for Norway, as the Norwegian krone has no religious nonsense on any of it's denominations. Less than 3% of Norwegians go to church and only a third believe in God (half believe in a spirit or life force, but not God, and almost 20% believe in none at all). Plus, their anscestors were norse pagans. You'd have no problem eating a godless lunch paid for with godless money surrounded by atheists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 If we live in a government that theoretically separates church from state, why should religion factor so heavily into campaigns? These "values voters" really piss me off. I read today that 53% of American voters would refuse to vote for an atheist candidate even if they thought he was the most qualified for the job. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
