NC-08: When Robin Attacks, He Lies

The most offensive yet from all-slime, all-the-time Robin Hayes...

Click here to see Robin Hayes lie.

This is a man with clearly bad internal polling. The Rovian effort here is to contort it to look like Larry Kissell is the guy running all the negative, bizarre and outrageous attack ads people are so sick of... so much so he was FINED for it. Of course, the dirty campaigner responsible for all the fuzzy sourced ads and push polls is none other than trailing, panicked Robin Hayes himself - the ONLY candidate running negative ads in North Carolina's 8th.

Kissell happily paid a $200 late fee way back before the primary for a mini-report filed after midnight. That six month old FEC fine is the equivalent of returning a movie a day late to BlockBuster. So Hayes just spent $400,000 on air time to basically say his opponent kept DieHard II an extra night. I kid you not.

Of course, Kissell is fighting back. I love the smell of litigation and response ads in the morning. But as to what we can do, the Southern Dem at BlueNC has exactly the right idea. Take Robin Hayes lies and distortions directly to the press in massive numbers.

In addition to her excellent LTE print contact list though, let's add some more - The TV stations taking Robin Hayes dirty, DeLay, Duke, Ney and Foley money to run this trash into the living rooms of good folks in North Carolina.

Let them know how ya feel about that.

Of course, we still have to give to get the newest response ad up and keep it up. I REALLY liked the last one. Factual, positive, hard hitting... and banjo music.

To the PHONES, EDITORS and SALES REPS!

Let's take our country back!

    Masterfully.

•  We need to get the stations to pull these ads

  Hayes and his cronies are only for free speech when they are spouting lies or collecting checks.  Make sure you make these contacts!  Great idea.

    Thus cross posted at MyDD.

•  Okay, I'm leaving voice mails

  I can't wait until Larry is in Congress and Robin Hayes is having lots of time to reflect on his mistakes...

•  When a candidate has nothing of subsatnce to say

  he lies and goes negative.  Every.Single.Time.  the voters are catching on, too, and really dislike it.

•  My LTE

  I have seen the negative ad on WRAL that Robin Hayes is running against Larry Kissell and it is patently false.

  Larry Kissell is running a positive campaign and has not run negative ads as claimed by Hayes.  Furthermore, the media did not criticize Kissell, it merely reported Hayes' criticisms which were not substantiated by any evidence.

  Larry Kissell has not been fined by the FEC for running negative ads.  He paid a $210 late fee for a report filing, not unusual for a first time candidate.

  Please stop airing this false ad.

  Also Hayes punted his own recent FEC problems with this lame response:
  
  Yeah, right, whatever.
