Godless heathens?

Oh, there's just no bottom for morally retarded Republican campaigners these days. Courtesy of Politico.com:

Sen. Elizabeth Dole’s latest advertisement suggests her Democratic opponent, Kay Hagan, is a godless heathen.

“A leader of the Godless Americans PAC recently held a secret fundraiser for Kay Hagan,” the 30-second spot says, showing footage of the group’s members talking about their atheist beliefs on cable news.

“Godless Americans and Kay Hagan. She hid from cameras. Took godless money,” the ad concludes. “What did Kay Hagan promise in return?”

At the very end of the ad, a voice sounding like Hagan's says: "There is no God."

The ad is airing across North Carolina.

The ad bases the charge on Hagan’s attendance at a netroots fundraiser on her behalf that was hosted by two advisers of the Godless Americans’ political action committee. According to its website, the group advocates for atheists' rights.

Hagan is holding a press conference with her pastor and family this afternoon to rebut the charges. Hagan is an member (and elder) at the First Presbyterian Church in Greensboro.

Yup, they're willing to lie, cheat and distort, and say that this church elder who teaches at her church's Sunday School is godless...and even worse, they're willing to treat Americans who are atheists like second-class citizens, who have no right to participate in the political process.

I've never had anything against Liddy Dole, but anyone who approved this ad deserves to lose this race. Can we all rally behind Kay Hagan and get the votes out on this one?

"Godless"? Is this where we've come in two hundred years of American political history - that somehow a person's religious beliefs are still considered relevant? Thomas Jefferson must be so depressed.
