National GOP Groups Accuse Crime Victim Of Being Soft On Crime In Georgia
from TPM Election Central by Eric Kleefeld

Now this is really something. The NRSC and Freedom's Watch are now airing ads in the Georgia Senate runoff accusing Democratic candidate Jim Martin of being against cracking down on people who abuse and prey on children.

The problem: Martin's own daughter was abducted when she was eight years old. Fortunately, she was returned safely. When asked for comment by Election Central, the NRSC declined to comment on this little wrinkle in the story.

Here's the NRSC's ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJv3YyydYDg

And Freedom's Watch has this ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF65SJ4hxPA

The Martin campaign, as one might expect, is rather revolted by this development.

"Jim Martin has never forgotten the horror of coming face-to-face with violent crime. That's why he spent his career working to protect Georgia's children and families," Martin spokesperson Kate Hansen said in a press release. "Georgians will reject Chambliss' false personal attacks because they know that Jim Martin always stands up to protect Georgia families."

The Martin campaign is firing back with this ad, in which Martin speaks to the camera about the experience of his daughter's abduction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1bFj8O2meY

The ad is not yet on the air; decisions are currently being made about when it will air. "Saxby will have to wait and see," Martin spokesperson Matt Canter told Election Central.

2. This doesn't suprise me

When you attack a triple amputee veteran's Vietnam service when you yourself got out of Vietnam on a "bum knee". You've pretty much hit rock bottom and shown you have no soul.

Can we put out a Saxby Chambliss has no reflection add?
