Coal Executive Threatens to sue Rep. Chandler [D-KY] for Slander
WFPL ^ | 9/25/2012 | Associated Press

Posted on 09/25/2012 4:05:06 PM PDT by Republican Wildcat

A coal executive is threatening to sue Congressman Ben Chandler over a recent campaign ad.

Chandler is facing Republican Andy Barr in the November election. Executive Heath Lovell appeared in a Barr ad recently wearing a hardhat and miner's garb.

In response, Chandler has been running an ad saying Lovell is not actually a coal miner.

Lovell's attorneys sent Chandler a letter today asking that the campaign take down the ad. The letter also included certificates to show Lovell is a certified miner for underground and surface coal operations in the commonwealth.

A spokesperson for Chandler did immediately not return a request for comment.

"The letter also included certificates to show Lovell is a certified miner for underground and surface coal operations in the commonwealth."

What Chandler meant is he's not a real minor.

Good for the executive - it’s about time someone started suing these lying maggots! Someone needs to hold them accountable because their supporters/voters don’t!

Don’t just threaten to sue, actually sue.

Careful there - calling a lying Democrat a 'lying maggot' may be defamatory to maggots by equating them with lowly Democrats. At least some maggots have morals, self-respect and integrity. How many Democrat pols can you legitimately make that claim about?

How about 'lying cretins' or 'lying filth' or even 'lying pond scum'?

(N.B. My apologies if I have offended any pond scum.)

Sad, but true.

That 1-minute response ad is great from the Barr campaign.
