ALIPAC: Anti-Graham ads on immigration to hit airwaves

Anti-Graham ads on immigration to hit airwaves

27 October 2008
SC Politics Today

A portion of a pro-immigration reform speech U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham gave will be featured in an ad by a North Carolina group who accuses Graham of favoring amnesty for illegal immigrants, according to the group and an Associated Press report.

Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee previewed the ad online Monday. It shows Graham during a speech as saying those who support overhauling federal immigration law were "going to tell bigots to shut up."

The Raleigh, N.C.-based group is supporting Graham's Democrat opponent, Bob Conley.

Graham campaign manager Scott Farmer said the ad completely takes Graham's remarks out of context during his speech in 2007 to the National Council of La Raza, a Latino group.
