What Ossoff did to Handel in Georgia-6 is “unforgivable”

Even before I saw the election results Wednesday morning, I knew Republican Karen Handel had won the Georgia special election because the Atlanta Journal-Constitution had other stuff on its front page. “Hawks Trade Dwight Howard to Hornets” ran the headline under the cover picture. “Karen must have won!” I concluded, accurately. Of course, there were election stories, but none blazoned the hoped-for triumphant photos of middle-aged leftist ladies weeping and hugging each other over their defeat of the terrible woman who would – according to the Ossoff camp – deny them breast cancer treatment. In the last week, Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff pulled off his soft little trust fund independent filmmaker kidskin gloves and began running hate ads trumpeting the lie that Karen Handel wanted women to die of breast cancer because she advised the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to stop shifting a relatively small portion of its donations to Planned Parenthood around the time Planned Parenthood was caught lying about third-trimester abortions. (The Komen charity was profiled in the February 2012 issue of Organization Trends.) One Ossoff campaign ad, “Unforgivable,” features “Mindy Fine, MD, OB-GYN, Cobb County, Ga.,” lecturing voters about Handel.
