Campbell Brown: Elizabeth Dole's "Godless Americans"

[kentokaneko777]

What's offensive about this incident is not that she was falsely accused of being godless but the fact that the people out there think that being godless is an unspeakable act which must be supressed

[drewamira]

man, i hate how her getting money from atheists and agnostics is supposed to be a bad thing. oh wow, she got money from people who think!

[BryanNC08]

Why the hell did she attend a fund raiser with them then? And take money from them? Oh and is this show really called no BS? LOL I almost agree with this just take the "no" out of the name of the show.

[wonkacorp]

Disgraceful that Dole did this. And I heard that she was a religious woman who prayed every day to be in God's will....did she run this by Him at all when he violated the commandment, 'Thou shalt not bear false witness?'

[KidVolcano]

Bang! Or maybe she just said she was listening to god but was really, you know listening to satan (aka, GOP campaign architects)

[roadwarior8]

Godless and proud of it!!! Religion has no place in government...it is actually illegal in this country for religion to take part in our federal government. To all you religious nuts out there, practice your religion in your church and leave it out of my life!!!

[jjason55740]

We are all godless only most of us don't know it lmao

[teb256]

Why will no reports admit that the rediculous part of this ad is that it paints atheists as bad people. How many wars have been fought to force atheism on people?

A: 0

[BSNFabricating]

Just to clarify things... GOD has never started a war; man's INTERPRETATION of God is what has caused so many wars over the centuries...

[yct1337]

@BSNFabricating Nuclear weapons never hurt anyone, the reaction that exponentially creates energy kills people

[AtterseeSommer]

Dirty Republican Roveian tricks. They are so pathetic.

[AtterseeSommer]

I'm ashamed of Dole. I'm glad I never voted for her hubby.

[astepup]

Well...It looks like North Carolina let Libby know how they felt about her and her dirty ads. The Jesse Helms Era is over in North Carolina! Now talk about godless..Jesse Helm was godless!

[earlsgirlblack]

Elizabeth Dole is a COWARD and a disgrace to all womaen in this land. It was her Husband Bob who during Clinton's first 90 days of his

presidency manufactured the "gays in the military controversy". YES BOB DOLE started that false rumor. Sounds like dirty politics runs in the family. Shame on these wealthy right wing people who have NO CONCEPT of what JESUS was about.

[mkmcclure]

Nice to see Dole take her lumps for lying and using handlers to make up information on Hagan. Dole would do ANYTHING to win. And she did not. A win for honesty and integrity.

[nrmjoe]

Do smear ads actually work? Well Dole just lost the election. Guess not. I'm glad the american people didn't but into this nonsense.

Senator Dole: Good luck finding a new job in this economy.

[anarchycastro]

wow...and she's a journalist?, unbelievable, a journalist that can actually talk sensibly!

[testing88534]

Your electing politician not as Pastor, the secular issues should matter, not the spiritual issues.

[JustPlaneNuts]

Typical nasty right wing smear campaign. They can't win on the issues, trickle down economics has failed, and most are against the Republican war. So they resort to nasty baseless fraudulent character assassinations and voter suppression at the polls. These people disgust me. What's wrong with being godless anyway? I'm an atheist and a humanist and dam proud of it!

[astepup]

What is a humanist?

[PhilistineTheArtLuvr]

What I find troubling here is how Republicans and their ilk have adopted a tactic to win at any cost. It doesn't matter what the reality of the situation is, what matters is to win for the sake of winning. They really feel they and only they can save the country, and the rest is out to get them. This kind of paranoia has been steadily increasing since the communist scare in the 50's and I'm afraid it's about to literally explode in our face. The right wing nuts have had it with us liberals.

[StoogeWatcher]

Kay Hagan is a fascist, filing a frivolous lawsuit because someone dare criticize her. And why does a Senator from the Tar Heel State need Massachusetts money for her campaign?

[moosmann12020]

Are you kidding? Hagan attended a fundraiser in Boston that was hosted at the home of a man who is an adviser to Godless Americans. These ridiculous ads clearly assert that Kay Hagan "accepts money from Godless Americans", when that's really not the case. That's called libel, and it's not exactly legal. Believe me, there's much more frivolous lawsuits brought up every single day, but I don't see you whining about them.

[FallenAngelIII]

The United States is RIDICULOUS. Yes, the majority of Americans are Christians. Yes, they love God. And? Removing God from the pledge of allegiance will not prevent them from worshiping God or take him out of their every day lives (Dole's 2nd ad).

[Faustuss1]

Indeed. Under God was not even in the original pledge of allegiance, and wasn't added until the 1950's.

[rgftown1]

Campbell Brown is my kind of woman.

[duncan36]

This is a joke someone tell me this ad is a joke. Its comedy right?

[SunnyKid975]

Dole and GOP have sunk lower than hell itself. Peddling hate and division while chasing untold riches is not exactly Christian. Amber alert: Jesus has been kidnapped by the Republican party... God help us

[StoogeWatcher]

Democrats like you sue to get rid of Jesus. You talk about "separation of church and state" but you do nothing when kids are forced to read the Koran.

[global084]

I am so sick of your kind. You think just because you are in the majority that it's ok if your religion is in schools. Nevermind that you try to get your beliefs passed off as science (what a joke). If you actually know of a school where kids do have to read a few passages from the Koran, it's probably a legitimate part of a social studies class. By the way, your good Christian party does a terrible job of following Jesus' teachings, unless a new translation found that Jesus liked to horde money

[StoogeWatcher]

You should read about that school in Byron, California, that has what the district calls an "Islamic immersion" course. Seventh graders are forced to adopt Muslim identities, pray to Mecca, and role play jihad using dice. If there were a Christian immersion course, the ACLU would have a field day. And if Republicans are so greedy, then why are Democrats known to be less generous. Oh wait, it's redistribute the wealth except yours, hypocrite!

[global084]

So we have one misguided school. What about countless others where Christianity is pressed upon the students in less obvious ways and the obvious insult of passing off intelligent design as science. And Democrats the greedy ones? Seriously? Democrats are the ones who favor using our taxes to equalize opportunity by improving schools and ensuring healthcare for children. And also, which party is the more tolerant one? I'm pretty sure it's not the one aligned with the Southern Baptist Convention.

[fallinginstyle217]

Nicely put.

[JustPlaneNuts]

Actually I'm against Islamic AND Christian theocracy. If the Musliams come in and start trying to turn this nation in to a Musliam theocracy I will stand up to those bastards to.

[global084]

I'd also like to add that I'm one of the godless ones on here, not Muslim. I'm with JustPlaneNuts, any theocracy is a bad idea, and extremists of any religion are equivalent as far as I'm concerned. That said, as long as it doesn't enter someone's politics, it shouldn't matter what their religious beliefs are.

[JustPlaneNuts]

Well of course, you should be able to believe whatever you want, just so long as your not forcing it on others. The purpose of secular government is to enable freedom of and from religion.

[thickblkpa]

I like Campbell Brown. She reports the news then allow the viewers decide if something good or bad unlike FoxNews.

[Leon612]

I used to watch this show, but for the past month I stopped since she is becoming more pro-obama...like most other news shows, and her daily guests are just as the same.

[biggiefrankwhite]

So what?

[ptracy4]

Elizabeth Dole is such a liar. When she ran for president, even her husband, Robert Dole, said he was not sure he would vote for her.
