Has Dole's "Godless" crap been discussed already?

(CNN) ? 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 that God and Jesus do not exist.
?Godless Americans and Kay Hagan. She hid from cameras. Took ?Godless? money,? the ad continues. ?What did Kay Hagan promise in return??

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.

I don't care if someone is religious or not--but I care plenty that someone not believing in god is considered a smear.

  • My H is super riled up about this. He's atheist, and he's incensed at being a political punching bag. Being an atheist does not disqualify someone from public office! It does not mean she will be a bad leader! Grrrr!

    Tell that to the rest of America.  I have zero hope of seeing an atheist/agnostic president in my lifetime.  

  • I posted this on the other board.  Elizabeth Dole is acting very desperate, and I just lost a lot of respect for her.

  • Yeah, I've seen a couple of her "godless" emails berating atheists. She makes me sick.

    I wish you were wrong, but I fear that you're right.

  • I used to really like Elizabeth Dole until she became a Senator and sprinted to the far right of the political spectrum.  I don't know if she lost her mind or was always like that and managed to hide it until getting elected.
