I think the network is right not to run the ad for the reason they gave, but I actually wouldn't mind if they changed their mind on this.

An attack ad on Dubya during the Super Bowl would not be well-received by the public.

IIRC, Michael Jordan was asked why he didn't loudly and publicly back some Democrat he'd donated money to.

"Because Republicans buy shoes, too."

Actually I wonder if such an ad wouldn't make the views so mad that it would backfire!

These scumbags want this in the Super Bowl lineup because the Super Bowl ads get discussed, over and over, after they air. They even get graded by some newspapers.

I got news for these idiots, too. After the beating Les Moonves has taken from conservatives, he wouldn't get near this garbage with a ten foot pole.

I kind of wish CBS would capitulate and run the ad. It would have no effect except to make millions of people hate the left even more than they already do, and cause moveon.org to be out a couple million bucks.

Even the liberal CBS can't stomach moveon.org?

I want them to run the ads. Maybe given these facts, Dubya might pick up a few votes:

1) It's completely untrue.

2) It's produced by a Dane. I mena, why doesn't he focus on the interesting stuff going on in DENMARK? Oh wait...

3) It's during the time that all Americans come together to over-eat and get drunk. Not exactly the best time to put up political ads...

I wish this site would solicit funds to air spots critical of the perverted corrupt socialist imbeciles that call themselves Democrats these days.

"The group has purchased $300,000 worth of air time on Time Warner's CNN that starts Jan. 17 and runs through Jan. 21."

Preaching to the choir and paying for the honor.

Good grief. They actually were going to do this? Moveon. org needs to move on.

I am shocked that CBS didn't make an exception in this case, and offer to let them run one of the Hitler ads for free.

saying the spot violated the network's policy against running issue advocacy advertising.
They are to be commended for this, but now, what will they do with Dan Rather?

I can just hear Barbra Streisand now:

This is censorship! This is proof that the Bush Adminstration has a tight grip on media outlets to control what the public sees.

Spelling left a bit off to accurately reflect a true BS rant.

Good, political ads, whether from the right or left, are inappropriate on a day like the Super Bowl. It's a day when people should put aside their ideology and just watch the great American game.

Bull squeeze. They're afraid that one or more incensed Americans will watch it and pull down a transmission tower with their pickup truck. Not that I'd do anything like that with my Ford F-150 XLT. >;-)
