politics / media / News / national / North Carolina CNN's Campbell Brown unloads on Dole for "godless" ad
Posted by David Fellerath @dfellerath on Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 4:55 PM
Today, CNN anchor Campbell Brown declared Sen. Elizabeth Dole's now-infamous ad—which attempts to link challenger Kay Hagan to some unspeakable coven of godlessness—to be one of the most disgusting ads in the country:
Is this really what it's come down to: We're fighting two wars, our economy is a disaster, and Sen. Dole's message to voters is to falsely accuse her opponent of not believing in God?
In a feature called "Cutting through the Bull" she says of this "ridiculously misleading" ad: "To all of you politicians desperately trying to hold on to your jobs now wallowing in the mud, willing to stoop to any level, just say no to your own craven ambition."
