Sen. Murkowski Asks Alaska Stations Not to Air Tea Party Ads

JUNEAU, Alaska — U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s campaign is warning Alaska broadcasters not to air ads by a national tea party group that the campaign says are “littered with lies and intentional mischaracterizations” about her and her write-in campaign.

Attorney Timothy McKeever, in a letter to broadcasters Monday, said they are under a “legal and moral obligation” not to air the new ads from Tea Party Express, which is supporting Joe Miller, the political upstart who defeated Murkowski in the August GOP primary.

A Tea Party Express spokesman said his initial reaction is that the group stands behind the ads.

At issue is an ad the group unveiled Monday, entitled “Arrogant Lisa Murkowski — You Lost!” It seeks to paint Murkowski as more interested in political self-preservation than in serving the interests of Alaskans. It also claims she didn’t “earn” her Senate seat and that she “tried to manipulate the Libertarian party into giving her their slot” on the ballot — claims McKeever called “materially false.”

Sen. Murkowski Asks Alaska Stations Not to Air Tea Party Ads

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa… The mean looks, the constant anger, the Drama Queen Media Whore persona, it is SO unbecoming. But you know, it’s good that the voters can see the REAL you!

Some folks can take a defeat gracefully. Some folks can accept the will of the voters and then move on with their lives. Lisa Murkowski is NOT one of those people.

And why is it? When TEA Party people speak out, someone is always offended. It never fails. It appears that Murkowski and Company want to deprive the TEA Party Express of it’s RIGHT to get involved in a political melee.

You have to wonder, if Murkowski and Company want these ads stopped for whatever reason, if Timothy McKeever says that broadcasters are under a “legal and moral obligation” to not air the ads, just how much TRUTH is being really exposed?

You can bet the bank on this, there MUST be some serious truth being brought to light if they are pulling that old “legal and moral” thing.

So, what about the First Amendment rights of the media? Will Murkowski and Company try to subvert the Constitution in an effort to keep this old witch in office? Is Murkowski that hard up for a job?

“Materially false”? What part of it is ‘materially false’? It’s been all over the media, ALL media.

Murkowski went *wicked witch* as soon as she lost. She has plainly exhibited that she will do anything possible to retain her seat in the Senate, even if it means going full tilt against the voters of Alaska.
