Extremists Behind Attack on Bush Ads

The outrageous attack on President Bush's television commercials was the work of an extreme left-wing group that has been in the forefront of the battle against the War on Terrorism for years, but you'd never know it from the coverage it has received in the establishment news media.
By picking up the charge, rather than reporting on its dubious source, the media have done major damage to the President's campaign, which compounded the problem by "defending" the ads, rather than exposing the hateful anti-Americanism of those who attacked them.
The President's actions in the immediate wake of 9/11 were nothing short of heroic, and were so accepted by a great majority of the American people. But while John Kerry is allowed by the media to trumpet his alleged heroism in Vietnam more than thirty years ago, Bush is castigated for a much milder reference to the leadership he provided at what is arguably the most crucial moment in the country's history since World War II.
One would suppose, from reading the news, that the attacks on the ads represent the general views of the families of those killed in the Trade Center destruction. That is absurd, but the voices of those family members who think otherwise are nowhere reported.

This needs to be known, by all. If we can't spread the word, the Mainstream Media surely isnt. Sorry I've been away, but I do actually have to work sometimes.

This has been covered in the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, among others, so its not being totally ignored by the mainstream media, but the left-leaning outlets have had little or nothing to say about it.
And you really mustn't let your work interfere with your freeping :-).

I disagree that it always hurts for there to be opposition to these campaign ads. What happens, oftentimes, is the ads are shown on the cable news shows over and over so everyone can see the "controversy". It was the same as when the Dems complained about Bush landing on the carrier. He kept being shown repeatedly making that landing, looking presidential and in charge. I think when the complaints are really preposterous and silly, most people see through them and the net effect is a lot of free advertising for the president.
