State Sen. Kay Hagan says she'll go to court to seek a cease-and-desist order against U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole's campaign if the "godless" TV spot isn't pulled in the next 24 hours.
Hagan, a Democrat, held a press conference this morning with her family and minister at the Presbyterian church in Greensboro where she is an elder and has taught Sunday school.
Hagan's campaign said it had delivered letters to Dole's Raleigh and Salisbury offices and her Washington, D.C., home, giving the campaign 24 hours to pull the ad before Hagan's campaign took legal recourse.
The political ad suggests Hagan is "godless" because she attended a fundraiser in Boston in September at the home of author Wendy Kaminer and her husband, Woody Kaplan, who was on the advisory board of the Godless Americans political action committee and active in a group that promotes "secular" ideas.
The TV ad features an announcer saying "Godless Americans and Kay Hagan. She hid from cameras. Took godless money. What did Hagan promise in return?"
Hagan and Dole are in a tight race for the Senate race.

Yes, the mainline Presbyterian church is a church in name only. One can be ordained a minister in the denomination without having to believe in the Bible. It’s sad.
There are some Bible-believing Presbyterian denominations, though, so remember that when you hear the MSM talk about Presbyterians. They’re not all the same.
How is Liddy doing in the polls?
Very hard hitting but fair. Hopefully it plays well with undecideds. This is a tight race but I think Dole takes it by a hair.
Liddy and the Godless one are neck and neck, last poll by Civitas had it 42-41 Hagin...with undecideds growing not shrinking.
Some of the oldest churches around Charlotte are Presbytarian. One down the road from me dates from the late 1700’s. I am pretty sure that one is Bible believing, and from what I’ve heard, so is Hagan’s. That said, good ad Liddy.
A woman elder- there you have it!
We have become a compromised society - we allowed the left/communists to infiltrate our schools, churches and govt all under the disguise of diversity. We are in for a very tough future - no matter who wins. Pray, pray and pray - also buy guns and ammo because the left will be emboldened enact the policies of hate beyond what I believe we could never believe.
Otherwise, it runs the table until election day.....let the chips fall where they may!
That would be a great follow up ad...if Liddy is told to pull this one......
What would be the grounds for such a court order? Did Hagan not go to the fundraiser?
I'm no lawyer but it seems to me that Hagan's proper response would be to put up her own damn ad and quit acting like a two year old.
Look at Barack...dont'call me Hussein....don't make fun of my ears......BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Democrats get SO P!SSED when you point out the truth about them.
Yes, you’re communist/socialist/fascists.
Yes, you’re godless and wicked.
Yes, you support infanticide.

This is national party politics...
Your team is known to play more than a little hardball...
Bring a bat and a glove....
Oh yeah...

If this ad were backfiring, Kay Hagan wouldn’t be taking this action. Clearly, it’s inflicting damage on her chances.
I’ve seen some obnoxious judicial rulings in the last several decades, but I’m curious to know what legal theory Hagan would use to bring suit against Dole and seek a cease-and-desist order? Any judge who might grant one in this situation has to be a judicial “activist” to the extreme.
Either that or Dole is trying to stem a slide. Let’s hope the former. I always get worried when I see last minute “shockers” - like when Allen started attacking Webb on his books in the last week.
