Senator Lisa Murkowski Asks Alaska Stations Not to Air Tea Party Ads

Here's a new one: They are under a "legal and moral obligation" not to air them

This is over the "You Lost" video from the Tea Party, posted here

Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska -- Lawyers for U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski's campaign want Alaska broadcasters to refuse to air TV ads by a national tea party group.

The campaign says the ads are "littered with lies and intentional mischaracterizations" about Murkowski and her write-in campaign. Attorney Timothy McKeever, in a letter sent to broadcasters Monday, said they are under a "legal and moral obligation" not to air them.

At issue is an ad unveiled Monday by the Tea Party Express entitled "Arrogant Lisa Murkowski -- You Lost!" It seeks to paint Murkowski as more interested in political self-preservation than in serving Alaskans' interests. It also claims she "tried to manipulate the Libertarian party into giving her their slot" on the ballot.

I certainly doubt there are any lies in those spots, but if there are, and these stations are under “legal obligation” to prove it, take ‘em to court, Princess Lisa. You should be really good at it with all that studying you did to take the bar exam four times.

Pretty damn good spot. As I have stated previously, if you sign up to run as a Republican, you must agree not to run as a “sore loser” whether it is as a third party, independant or write in. It only helps elect dumbasses.

She’s going to get some cross-over votes from Dems just to try an upset Miller’s expected victory. Hopefully the majority of Alaskan voters will do the right thing and elect Miller. She is toast—now and for future election considerations.

Letting go of all of that power is really a *itch I guess the way she is fighting for.

Hmmm ... I wonder if Pudge Rove really is advising the Wicked Witch of the North. Would certainly be in keeping with his RINO proclivities. The man is an ogre.

Lisa... that's one heck of an underbite you've got going on.

And this is not a lie.

As most here said that AlGore was quite the pants load, this woman is turning out to be quite the skirt load.

Has a link to the letter (I can’t get it to load though).

“...The letter ends by asking the stations not to broadcast the ad until they are able to prove the ads are truthful and correct.”
