DEL.ICIO.USThe Wiggins response: He wasn’t fighting with Mom, but for her
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Both Lynn Westmoreland, the congressman from Coweta County, and Sadie Fields, leader of the Georgia Christian Alliance, came out in defense of Mike Wiggins on Saturday, in response to that ferocious 30-second TV spot by Carol Hunstein.
Wiggins also went up on Friday with a TV response. No doubt you’ve already seen it — you could hardly miss it in metro Atlanta over the weekend. But if you haven’t caught it, check it out here.
Note that the Wiggins campaign chose to refute the general tone, rather than the specifics of the Hunstein ad.
The campaign didn’t deny that Wiggins had been sued by his mother, or that his sister expressed some unsibling-like — or maybe, ubersibling-like — feelings for her brother. Rather, the ad explains that the whole situation had roots in a family fight while Wiggins’ mom was in a coma.
The ad speaks of recovering stolen money, but Wiggins’ sister isn’t directly accused. The question of how Wiggins’ mom came to sue her son is not addressed, so far as we can tell.
The Hunstein ad can be seen a few items below.

Wiggins gets tow of the biggest idiot rednecks in Georgia to defend his character.
Or lack thereof. Wiggins, and people that support him, are trash.
