Because these people are able to make baseless claims without any fear of repercussions to the campaign. The campaign gets plausable deniability and yet the lies are spread. Sure it is libel but it takes way to long for libel cases to be processed and the adds to be taken off the air. By the time the adds are yanked the election is over and they already have their president in office. Who could just parden them of any libel if he wanted to.
