Hagan Says Dole Broke 9th Commandment
News —
Hagan Says Dole Broke 9th Commandment Democrat Kay Hagan is accusing Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.) of breaking one of the 10 Commandments by airing an ad that links her to atheists. "Elizabeth Dole's attacks on my Christian faith are offensive," Hagan says in her new campaign commercial. Hagan ends the ad by saying that her her campaign is about jobs and the economy instead of "bearing false witness against fellow Christians." The 9th Commandment prohibits bearing false witness against a neighbor. Hagan's ad, which Thursday, is a response to Dole's ad that highlights a Hagan fundraiser that was hosted at the Boston home of ...
Dole Slips in Polls Again After Godless Ad Hits Kay Hagan
BlueNC - The people's think tank —
A brand new Rasmussen poll is just in and Elizabeth Dole has fallen even further behind Democratic challenger Kay Hagan. The poll shows it was in the field at the same time Dole was carpet bombing North Carolina with ads attacking Kay Hagan's faith.
To be clear, the Rasmussen poll shows that Dole has gained a couple of points, however Hagan gained three which increased the distance between the two. I'm sorry I can't supply crosstabs. I do not have a premium account.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Tar Heel State shows Hagan with 52% of the vote and Dole with 46%. Three weeks ago, ...
Hagan hits back on Dole
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
This is how a nimble campaign works. Yesterday we talked about the vile new ad that Elizabeth Dole has out against Kay Kagan. Today, the Hagan campaign released this ad: Kay Hagan is right - "bearing false witness against fellow Christians" isn't very Christian. If you're going to call yourself a Christian than you should behave like one. As I mentioned yesterday, this issue is a big one in North Carolina. This is how you respond to a bully - fight fire with fire. Elizabeth Dole hid her accusations behind grainy images and scary voice-overs. Kay ...

Hagan Files Lawsuit Against Dole Over Atheism Attack Ad, Launches Rebuttal Spot
Senate candidate Kay Hagan (D-NC) has announced that she is filing a defamation lawsuit against the campaign of GOP Sen. Elizabeth Dole, over an attack ad that accused Hagan of selling out to the Godless atheist agenda. Hagan also has this new rebuttal spot:
"I'm Kay Hagan, and Elizabeth Dole's attacks on my Christian faith are offensive. She even faked my voice in her TV ad to make you think I don't believe in ...
Hagan Ad: Dole Bears False Witness against Fellow Christians
News —
Hagan Ad: Dole Bears False Witness against Fellow Christians Democrat Kay Hagan is out with an ad hitting back at incumbent Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.) for a controversial TV spot that sought to link Hagan to an atheist group. Dole's ad quickly caused a stir in the liberal blogosphere yesterday. It alleged that Hagan had taken "godless money" from the atheist political organization Godless America PAC and featured a woman's voice saying, "There is no God" as a photo of Hagan was shown on-screen. Hagan and her supporters were quick to note yesterday that Hagan has taught Sunday school and is an elder in her ...

The Sideshow —
I can only concur with Atrios' choice* of Bob Kerrey as Thursday's Wanker of the Day. What can of nitwit who isn't a Republican operative can say this kind of thing with a straight face: "By my lights, the primary threat to the success of a President Obama will come from some Democrats who, emboldened by the size of their congressional majority, may try to kill trade agreements, raise taxes in ways that will destroy jobs, repeal the Patriot Act and spend and regulate to high heaven." that's an interesting thing to say in the face of existing trade and tax policies that actually encourage companies to move jobs ...
House and Senate Race Roundup
Daily Kos —
NC-Sen: Following Elizabeth Dole's horrendous "Godless" ad, Kay Hagan has a rapid response on the air: That's a hell of an ad. Two polls released today show Hagan leading (Rasmussen and National Journal): one shows her trailing by four. That one is the venerable Mason-Dixon...but their results are far out of line with all other recent NC polls, and their most recent result from another race (Chambliss/Martin in Georgia) also shows a big Republican lead out of line with other polling. So feel free to take with salt. ...

(UPDATE: Hagan has filed a defamation suit against Dole—and she will be seeking damages.)
There has been a large dustup in the blogosphere and in the media over Elizabeth Dole’s fraudulent ’Godless‘ ad portraying her as cozying up to atheists, so much so that Dem challenger Kay Hagan has a new commercial out addressing the matter:
I’m Kay Hagan and Elizabeth Dole’s attacks on my Christian faith are offensive. She even faked my voice in her TV ad to make you think that I ...

Politics Daily —
Filed under: Democrats, Republicans, Breaking News, Religion, 2008 SenateYesterday, I detailed the unfortunate doings in North Carolina's Senate race between incumbent, Elizabeth Dole, and the challenger, Kay Hagan. In that piece, I pointed out how, by using a phony voice-over to deceive voters into thinking Hagan did not believe in God, Dole was giving Hagan a golden opportunity to make a forceful rebuttal. Well, here it is: This is such a strong counter-punch that it very well may win ...
