â€œFor too long, conservatives have lacked a permanent political presence to do battle with the radical special interests groups and their left-wing allies in government.â€

This is the greatest example of theatre of the absurd since Samuel Beckett.

These Freedom Watch freaks would kill you and me in a dark alley if they were sure they could get away with it.

I saw that â€œFreedumbâ€™s Watchâ€ad on CNN and thought it was in very poor taste to politicize our military the way Ari Fleischer and Dan Senor did.

Corporate News Network can’t refuse to run the ad, after all Dan (second in command under Paul Bremer during the CPA days of the Iraqi occupation) Senor is married to Campbell Brown of diamonds or pearls is a legitimate question for a presidential candidate fame.

I saw that “Freedumb’s Watch”ad on CNN and thought it was in very poor taste to politicize our military the way Ari Fleischer and Dan Senor did.

I also saw the terrific ThinkProgress/MoveOn ad touting Progressive ideals on CNN a few times and thought it was fantastic. I’m going to contribute some greenbacks to ThinkProgress so they can buy more air time.

Keep up the outstanding work!

â€œFor too long, conservatives have lacked a permanent political presence to do battle…”
What! You mean 7 years of WH lies, re-writing agency reports, secret energy policy meetings with energy companies, bankruptcy laws written my the banking industry, prescription drug law written by pharmacy companies; all this and more, and that’s not enough political presence?
Well, gee, we’re sorry. Now, go peddle your cry-baby crap somewhere else.

This is surprising. It’s usually progressives that are censored:

Networks Refuse To Air Liberal Ads, Too

But this isn’t the first time. FW had an ad refused in August because it asked viewers to call their representatives and voice their support for the President and the war, but the phone number went to an operator who asks if you agree with the ad. If you do, your call is patched through. If you do not, they hang up on you.

tweety’s got huckleberry footage on the box, and rev.gov. huckleberry is claiming his surge in the polls is, literally, the product of divine intervention, and coming very close to declaring himself a messiah….

let’s hear it for the first christian-ayatollah presidential candidate!!!

Lets see here,

the radical special interest groups are Big Oil and Big Pharm

and

lthe eft-wing allies in government? does Freedom Watch mean the government that is led by an authoritarian Republican? or is it the increasingly conservative Supreme Court they are referencing?
how about the Congress which was led by Republicans until 2006?

Good. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but it seems like Ari and others are propagandizing not for American conservatism, but for Zionism.

I don’t care whether or not NBC rejects the ad, as long as their policy is applied consistently.

Yet they’ll peddle every other kind of crap known to man. Heck, NBC–go ahead and run their ads. They’ll be funnier than any of your lame-ass comedies.
