Sam Nunn on Thursday condemned as shameful that TV spot from Republican U.S. Senate candidate David Perdue that accuses Michelle Nunn and the foundation for which she worked of giving money to terrorist-linked organizations.
Its shameful. Particularly when you know that everybody in the opposition campaign knows that thats not true, her father, the longtime former U.S senator, said in an hour-long interview. Its not like they believe it. Theres too much these days of anything that works, regardless of what lines it crosses.
Michelle Nunns father also said his daughter, the Democratic nominee for Senate, has little obligation to support Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., should Democrats maintain the chamber in November given that Reid, in the spring of 2013, asked her not to run for Sam Nunns old seat.
They said they had their eye on another candidate, Sam Nunn said. Presumably, that other candidate would have been U.S. Rep. John Barrow, D-Augusta, whom many Democrats were attempting to lure into the contest at the time.
Michelle Nunn, her father said, rejected the advice to withdraw. Barrow declined to enter the race.

Febate is next Tuesday. I want anyone to ask this chick why she has to run on daddys’ name instead of her married name so she can flat out say that she is running on her daddys largesse.
Are they saying that questions about her foundation are off the table? not!

"We found the claim centered on MissionFish, a business entity that Points of Light owned until 2012 and collected donations from eBay buyers and sellers for any of 20,000 charities. One of those charities, Islamic Relief USA, received about $13,500 through this process."
"Islamic Relief USA is part of a global network of charities that is under the umbrella of Islamic Relief Worldwide. That organization has been accused by one top Israeli official of having links to the terrorist group Hamas. Islamic Relief has denied any such connections. And the way MissionFish worked, there's no indication that Points of Light directed money to Islamic Relief USA or any specific charity."
One can say the connection isn't direct, but it is there and is fair game in politics.
Still, the AJC went way out of its way to cleanse candidate Nunn.
She’s a Democrat.....of course she supports terrorists in some way.
Well, well. The shoe is on the other foot and it pinches.
Reid reminds me of the Uriah Heep of democrats (For those of you who read).
I don’t know if the accusation is true, but I have long been saying that they will continue their crooked tactics until we begin to use them against them. Everything is fair until Republicans do it.
Reid is like the Uriah Heep of democrats. (For those of you who read)
umbled? Dingy Harry umbled?
Nunn would also accurately describe her qualifications for the office.
I’d believe Sam Nunn over Harry Reid any day.
I pray he is gone in January.
No, more Dem propaganda so Nunn can distance herself from the very unpopular Reid.
That’s only pertains to NC. Our candidate is running a McCain type campaign
DOUBLE the attack on her Foundation, Mr Perdue!
Harry Reid, islamist (NV)
