Liddy Dole goes over the line

Liddy Dole just rolled out a new attack ad on Kay Hagan--one that, to my mind, went several miles over the line.

Direct link

Let's see here now--portraying your opponent, who happens to be a woman, as a yipping dog. Am I the only one who thinks Dole just called Hagan a "bitch"? I've seen some dirty, below-the-belt attack ads in my time, but this takes the cake.

Calling this beneath the dignity of a United States Senator would be an understatement. Not even Jesse Helms would have gotten away with this.

Apparently the Dole campaign doesn't take criticism very well--I left a critical comment on YouTube, but they didn't approve it. Oh well--I guess we're going to have to crash her Inbox and fax machine.

Her email: info at elizabethdole dot org (sorry, not even below-the-belt attacks merit opening Liddy up to spammers)
Her fax: 704-636-4823 (please, be courteous)

Also, kindly sign this petition asking Dole to take this ad down--since I live in Charlotte, just 35 minutes from her campaign HQ in Salisbury, I might be able to hand-deliver it.

And another thing--Digg this up so the rest of America can see what kind of person Dole is.

I just sent Kay a big check. Thanks, Liddy.

They call her "Lying Liddy"

And, this ad proves it.

I don't think that Senator McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans, I just think he doesn't know.

Jesus Swept ticked me off. Too short. I loved the characters and then POOF it was over.

"Fibber" ad will go over well with Liddy's "old timey" voters

I knew I'd heard that name somewhere...here's what the google came up with, which leads me to believe that maybe Bob and Liddy wrote this ad themselves, sittin' around the Watergate in three pairs of socks and the thermostat jacked waaaaaay up:

Fibber McGee and Molly was an outgrowth of an earlier network show called Smackout. In this series, Jim Jordan played a grocer who was "smack out" of everything but tall tales, with his wife Marian as Teeny, the little girl who lived across the road. The tall tales element carried over into FM&M when it was launched on April 16, 1935 on NBC.

The show itself developed into a sitcom with a dose of vaudeville patter shot through it; the "story" usually took a back seat to exchanges with Wistful Vista's citizens based around a theme (or not), while Fibber was trying to accomplish something, although usually he didn't. Molly's role in all of this was to offer a voice of reason, in an often futile attempt to keep Fibber anchored in reality, but to stand by her man nonetheless.

Ahh, the good old days...1935. Keep those witty and relevant cultural references comin!

Anyone catching that Biddy's ad's rarely

if ever show the source of her claims? Except a few that source the John Locke Foundation. While all of the ads for Hagan do. I've also noted a new tack the MSM has taken this week, blaming bloggers for mis-information. One thing they don't do that bloggers do is provide a link or source for their information.

No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.
