On Tuesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” network correspondent Ainsley Earhardt unveiled one of the attack radio spots that aired on stations around the state including WMGO 1370 AM in Canton, MS.
The spot urges listeners to participate in the vote and warns if voters fail to do so, it will result in the loss of entitlement benefits and funding for black universities.
“If someone tells you that by voting today, you cannot vote in November – it’s just a Tea Party, bald-faced lie.” Are you going to let the clock run out on today? By not voting, you are saying ‘take away all of my government programs, such as food stamps, early breakfast and lunch programs, millions of dollars to our black universities.’ Everything we and our families depend on that comes from Washington will be cut. Mississippi will never be the same. The question is, will you spend $5 on gas to vote, or allow the Tea Party to send us back to the good ol’ bad days? Vote against the Tea Party. Vote Thad Cochran.”
Earhart identified the group responsible for the ad to be a group called Citizens for Progress, which according to Earhart is a group tied to former RNC chair and Gov. Haley Barbour (R-MS).

“If someone tells you that by voting today, you cannot vote in NOVEMBER.” **
Well! No one could ever accuse Barbour’s group of appealing to the *brightest* bulbs in the box….
§§§§§
** Of course, no one’s saying that…however, if you voted in the Dem primary, you ARE prohibited from voting in the Republican primary. “No double dipping” must be such a complicated idea down there.
We need to be able to sue politicians who out and out lie in their political ads. The lying is getting worse and worse. And anyone convicted should be barred from political office for the rest of their lives.
Where’s Reince Preibus? If he doesn’t speak out against this action then he supports these activities. Where are you, Reince???
How many people have been wondering what the GOP would do to f@$k things up for November? I think we have Exhibit A right here. Absolutely disgusting.
