RALEIGHNorth 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 partys 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.
I love the MAVERICKS of the Republican Party in North Carolina.
Who broke in to the GOP testicle lock box?

Amazing isn't it? Maybe it will set a precedent and get the RINOs at the federal level to grow a pair.
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
This ad has absolutely nothing to do with race. It is completely factual and contains no information that has already received a public airing.

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.
Love her!
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.
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!
A woman......men in the RNC can’t find them on their own.
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.
People sure want Hillary to be president.
I sent them some money yesterday. Urge everyone else to do the same. We all carp about the gutless GOP-—well, here is a group with some cajones!
There is a phony one up on youtube.
