The Libertarian Senate candidate has weighed in on the "Godless" ad.
Christopher Cole writes Dome that the ad controversy has shown flaws with both Sen. Elizabeth Dole and her Democratic opponent, Kay Hagan.
"The Republicans are demonstrating absolute desperation," he writes. Their inability to campaign on principles — they have none — forces them to scrape the bottom of the Helms barrel."
On the other hand, he argues that Hagan is "offensively disingenuous."
"She turns to a damsel-in-distress routine because she really has no defense," he writes. "She was well-aware that her relationship to the Godless Americans PAC would be offensive to most Carolinians. That's why SHE never publicized it. She got caught, and turns to crocodile tears to gain sympathy."

Re: Cole: A pox on both their houses
The one representative of Godless Americans was one of 40 different groups who were in attendance at that gathering. To carry on like it was the major part of the event is wrong.
Furthermore, what IS wrong with being an atheist? Isn't that protected under the Constitution and Bill of Rights? Isn't freedom of religion one of the basic principles this country was founded upon?
If we all have to believe and follow ONE particular type of religion, I didn't get the memo. Or is this now a fascist dictatorship, where we all have to march lock-step and believe the same thing?
