Let's talk about this BANANAS story in Nebraska, where the state's Republican Party just used atheism to smear *one of their own candidates.*
Strap in. This is crazy.
Strap in. This is crazy.
District 1 is represented by Sen. Julie Slama, who has the backing of the current governor.
She's being challenged by another conservative, Janet Palmtag.

The GOP doesn't want a conservative challenger to a safe seat. But how do they attack Palmtag, since they all have similar positions?

That liberal senator also "sued" God in 2007 to make a point about frivolous lawsuits.
Bingo! The GOP released this mailer.

It's hard to see, but on the far left, the circle says SENATOR ERNIE CHAMBERS: TRIED TO SUE GOD

Totally unrelated. Totally dishonest. Par for the course for the GOP.
