NCGOP CHAIRMAN SAYS “EXTREME” AD WILL RUN (Reuters & MSNBC reports are WRONG!)
North Carolina GOP ^ | 4/24/08 | Brent Woodcox (yes, Woodcox)

Posted on 04/25/2008 2:09:04 AM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

RALEIGH—North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Linda Daves made the following statement:

“Contrary to any media reports, the ‘Extreme’ ad will run as scheduled next week. There has never been any intention to pull the ad and it will air.

The ‘Extreme’ ad has garnered attention around the country. I want to thank the people across North Carolina and across the country who have shown overwhelming support for us. Our aim is to tell the truth and ask difficult questions. We will continue to do so.

People here in North Carolina should know that this ad is focused on Democrats Richard Moore and Beverly Perdue. By endorsing Barack Obama, they allied themselves with the most liberal person in the United States Senate. He is a candidate out of touch with the voters of North Carolina who does not share the values of North Carolinians. By refusing to stand up and rightfully denounce the statements made by his controversial former associates, Perdue and Moore are giving us the impression that they share these extreme views. The voters of North Carolina should be allowed to ask a legitimate question of candidates in North Carolina. Who do you choose to associate yourself with and how does that reflect on your judgment? It is true that your character is proven by the company you keep. Those who step forward to run for the highest post in North Carolina must show the best judgment. Perdue and Moore have shown poor judgment in their associations and the voters of North Carolina rightly question their actions and their continued silence.

Democrats in North Carolina are trying to inject race into this ad. This tactic, designed to further drive a wedge between the people of North Carolina, is despicable and wrong. This ad has absolutely nothing to do with race. It is completely factual and contains no information that has already received a public airing. Let me be perfectly clear: It is entirely inappropriate for voters to consider race when judging the quality of a candidate running for any office. If Senator Clinton had a pastor who made these same anti-American statements and the Democrat candidates for Governor endorsed her, we would be running the same ad.

Finally, I want to say that the North Carolina Republican Party has had and will continue to have a great working relationship with the RNC. We are entirely in support of John McCain for President. I have great respect and admiration for Senator McCain. He will be a great President when he is elected in November. As State Party Chairman, I serve in a dual role. Not only do I support our party’s candidate for President of the United States, I also have a duty to see that Republicans are elected across the state of North Carolina. This ad opposes two Democrat candidates for Governor in North Carolina. It poses a legitimate question about judgment for which the people of North Carolina deserve an answer.”

Amazing isn't it? Maybe it will set a precedent and get the RINOs at the federal level to grow a pair.

I think it is time for Ted Kennedy to get down to North Carolina and endorse Obama again. It worked in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and California. Come on Ted get you airplane and fly down there. You are capable of making Obama a winner. lol.

I would like to note that WRAL-TV 5 in Raleigh NC has refused to run this “controversial” campaign ad. Call WRAL and let them know of your displeasure. 1(800) 245-WRAL

Someone who will ignore McDole and do the right things for the American People, we have a Vice Presidential candidate for you, President McDole, that is if you don’t want to be one of the 2 losers returning to the Senate with your buddies.

Didn't see it mentioned on FR but a few nights ago I saw and heard McCain respond to a request (actually a demand) by some Islamic Group to stop referring to the terrorists as Islamic. They claim this paints all believers as terrorists and wanted it stopped.

McCains answer was that since ALL the terrorists were followers of Islam then he would continue to refer to terrorists as Islamic. In giving this reply he was unapologwetic and very forceful in what he said.

It is very heartening to see a politician actually stand by what he really believes instead of immediately bending over and grabbing his ankles as so many do when faced with the slightest criticism for their positions and beliefs.

Mark Levin talked to Linda last night on his radio show. She's got some real big cajones, something that is sorely lacking these days in the GOP.

She essentially told McCain's staff and the National GOP to bugger off since she had a job to do, and that her focus, and in fact her duty, was to help North Carolina Republicans win their races, no matter how soft McCain wants to play it with Obama.

We need more people like her in the National GOP establishment who are not afraid to take it straight to the Rats and condemn them with their own words.

Good for her and Linda, if you're lurking, keep up the good work!

I saw O'Reilly had his two race conscious professors on last night; Mark Lamont Hill and Michael Eric Dyson. I know them both to be race specialists because their only appearances on the "Factor" is when they are there to comment on race issues, nothing else. Both agreed the ad was race-baiting. Dyson congratulated McCain for denouncing the ad but made a point to comment that it's a shame that he would still be the beneficiary of the ad.

I wonder if Dyson similarly denounced the James Byrd dragging video run by the naacp in 2000. I wonder if he thought it a shame that Gore would benefit from the ad. But we'll never know, O'Reilly failed to ask that so obvious a question.

I have always known the ladies of North Carolina were not afraid of much, but I find it most gratifying they won't back down to the a$$clowns at the RNC, or to McCain's campaign. Seems a shame a lady from NC has to teach the dorks in D.C. how to grow a pair, and to have the cajones to stand up and be counted. IT IS ABOUT DAMNED TIME OUR REPUBLICANS STARTED ACTING LIKE REPUBLICANS !
