"..using footage of the wreckage of the towers "

You have to wonder if any of these people actually saw the ads. The words tacky and insensitive were universally used to describe them.
Last night, I surfed between the ABC/NBC/CBS and the ads were covered the same way.
The ads were not shown,but, " discussed " by the anchors and correspondents.
Then images of the burning and collapsing towers were shown in the background. Since the ads were not shown, the impression the media wanted to convey,was that the ads showed graphic images of planes flying into buildings and towers collapsing.
What is tacky and insensitive is the way the families have been used and manipulated by the Democrats and their media toads.

My thoughts as well, they started immediately complaining...we would have to check their names and home states against the dates that the ads started running in each state (they started with 16 states considered to be crucial) to be sure.

A local man here in Cary NC is one of the family members being quoted in opposition to the Bush ads. He lost his brother in the North Tower. A local talk show host, Jerry Agar, contacted him to come on the show and talk about it since he is a local man. Agar asked him if he had seen the ads and he responded "no". He is also the director the "peaceful tomorrows" group opposing Bush. Jerry asked him to have someone in the organization who has seen the ad to contact him to come on the show. Jerry has yet to be contacted by anyone.

And Rush nailed the DNC and their coaching and teaching of talking points to some of the 9/11 widows for the talk show circut.
