* In the 2010 New York gubernatorial election, this trope was partially subverted in an incident between two third-party candidates. Libertarian Warren Redlich accused Anti-Prohibition candidate Kristin Davis of circulating a libelous attack mailing about him, calling her a "dirty whore" with the "dirty" referring to her dirty campaignin tactics. Davis, the madam of the brothel that former governor Eliot Spitzer frequented (which is why he was the "former Governor") replied by denying the allegations that she was a whore and explaining that she was only a madam, never a prostitute. She never responded to the allegations of dirty campaigning.

* Ghost, from Radio/TrueCapitalist radio, is often accused of being a racist, shapeshifting jew. His response is always "I'M NOT A JEW!"
