"There's been many a slip between the cup and the lips.*" Billy Long and Missouri values

Anti Billy Long ad runs on KY3. KY3 explains why the ad is run:

The content of it will upset some people because of the use of the "n word" -- a word that is not usually used in broadcasts -- but KY3 and all other stations can’t prevent it from airing, and can’t censor or change it because of federal law.

“I have been asked by viewers as well as staff why we allow certain political ads to air. The truth is that television stations are required by federal law to provide reasonable access for ads for federal candidates. The law also says that, if the candidate appears in his or her own ad, then we cannot censor or edit it,” said KY3 General Manager Mike Scott.

The "n word" is not spoken in the commercial. It is shown on the screen as a part of the letter Case wrote to the Eckersley campaign.

In context, the statement Case attributes to Long: “We need to take back this country from the niggers and women running it… that’s the problem in D.C.”

In vino veritas.
