DENVER -- Leading up to the November election, 7NEWS and TheDenverChannel.com will check the accuracy of political ads.

Do the ads contain facts or fiction?

7NEWS checked the "facts or fiction" of a political ad paid for by the campaign of Republican Senate candidate Jane Norton, entitled: "High Heels."

AD: "I'm Jane Norton, I approve this message. Ken Buck is attacking Jane Norton. What's he saying? You might be surprised. Here's Ken Buck caught on tape …"

At this point in the ad, a video is shown from a question-and-answer session between Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck and a voter. The video was taken at the eighth annual Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms party in Bennett, sponsored by the Independence Institute. According to its online invitation, it was billed by the Independence Institute as: "the most fun, most politically incorrect event of the year."

According to the Independent Institute website, the organization is a: “non-partisan, nonprofit public policy research organization dedicated to providing timely information to concerned citizens, government officials and public opinion leaders."

AD:

Voter Question: "Why should we vote for you?"

Buck: "Why should you vote for me? Because I do not wear high heels."

Ad Narrator: "Play that again."

Buck: "Why should you vote for me? Because I do not wear high heels."

FACT: Buck answered that question exactly the way it appears in the ad. The ad omits, however, what Buck said next.

ATF PARTY VIDEO CLIP: "She has questioned my manhood, I think it's fair to respond."

The "she" Buck is referring to is Norton. In another political ad paid for by Norton's campaign, Norton goes after third-party ads that attack her, but she also references Buck in those ads.

PREVIOUS AD: "You'd think Ken would be man enough to do it himself."

The current ad then picks up where Buck left off, after mentioning his manhood has been questioned.

AD: "I have cowboy boots, they have real bullsh** on them. That's Weld County bullsh**." Now Ken Buck wants to go to Washington? He'll fit right in."

FACT, BUT MISLEADING: Again, it's a fact that Buck made this statement. Regardless of the language, the statement may be taken out of context without what Buck said next.

ATF PARTY VIDEO CLIP: "That's Weld County bullsh**, not Washington D.C. bullsh**."

Overall, the ad is FACT because Buck really said what you see and hear in the ad.
