Should Elizabeth Dole, the sleaziest politician in America today, be sued for defamation and slander?



[UPDATE - KAY HAGAN JUST FILED A SLANDER LAWSUIT TODAY AGAINST ELIZABETH DOLE. BRAVO.]

Insinuating that your church-going former Sunday school teacher opponent is an atheist and voicing over "there is no god" at the end of the commercial as if it was her opponent is easily the most despicable and shameless political ad in American campaign history.

Elizabeth Dole is a Republican candidate stooping lower than I ever thought even a Republican could. Although it's not too surprising given that she's married to hatchet-man Bob Dole, and holds the seat of one of the most disgusting Senators of all time, Jesse Helms.

If this is allowed to stand, what's next? Ads that proclaim your opponent is a child molester? With a voice impersonator saying "I like to molest children" while a picture of the candidate is showing?

Shameless. And if not illegal, at least grounds for a civil lawsuit. This is the very definition of slander.

The Republican Party should call for this ad to be taken down, and should apologize on the behalf of its candidate since she doesn't have the sense or the class to do that herself. The US Senate should censure Elizabeth Dole when it reconvenes. Kay Hagan should file suit for defamation and slander. And John McCain should also disavow this ad.

But don't hold your breath for any of that. Since that would be the right thing to do.

Above all, the people of North Carolina should show Elizabeth Dole the door. And they should loudly protest her wherever she goes, for the rest of her life, unless she apologizes. Elizabeth Dole is scum, and she should be treated like scum by all Americans, left, right and center.

Hagan had a good reply with a new ad. In short, she rebuts then brings up that Dole is bearing false witness. I guess if you're gonna get all christiany, this is a very effective reply to the slime.

What I hate is that religion is even an issue at all. Ugh. It's so debasing. "Neener neener neener, I'm more christian than yooo-uuuu." It makes everyone look like total idiots. Lie, cheat, roll in the mud, steal... just hold up your golden cross for all to see. Hold it high, without shame for your completely dirty actions, and the unthinking flock will surely follow.

Fuck CNN. I for one would be more inclined to vote for someone if they were godless. Religious bullshit has fucked our country (and world) up way too long. But CNN won't say that, because people clinging to their bullshit religions as universal truth that all must obey are on all sides of the spectrum (alas). Therefore CNN tacitly agrees that being godless is bad, by making an accusation of godlessness a moral crime.

This isn't new, people have fallen into the trap of reviling those who accuse Obama of being a Muslim and/or an Arab, when the real point should be "so fucking what if he is?"

So much for 21st century America. Dammit, I need to get on that French thing.

Hey! this is my best friend's friend, Kay, that she was telling me was running against Elizebeth Dole.

YEAH! maybe now she will win.

What a sleezy, slime-encrusted piece of work Liz is.

I MEAN THE WOMAN JUST PULLED HER PANTYHOSE DOWN, TURNED AND SHOWED EVERYONE HER NASTY OLD GREASY WRINKLY RED REPUBLICAN BUTT.

I don't believe in God, but that "bearing false witness" line in the reply ad is brilliant.

I just contributed to Kay Hagan's campaign and I'm not from NC. I would encourage everyone to contribute who can to her campaign and make sure she has every resource to kill the wicked witch, Elizabeth Dole. BTW, Dole definitely had some work done on her face and it looks horrific and fake like Bert Reynolds. is Bob Dole dead? I can't recall.
