Just heard on FOX....
just damm~!! I wish the pilot of the next plane I fly on would do a couple of rolls like that~! woo hoo~!!
Good for NARAL. That garbage of an ad didn't belong on the air anyways.
This little ploy blew up in their faces and even among the uninformed American public, this did not fly well at all. This has sealed the deal for Roberts' confirmation.
They borrowed the white flag from the french.
Well if it hasn't sealed the deal for Roberts, it has, at the very least, significantly damaged the credibility of NARAL. It's always refreshing when groups get smacked back when they go to far.
In a way, Boeing was made that day as an airliner company, they had been running a distant third in the passenger business for decades up until then.
Glad to see NARAL knocked down a peg for once. Please note, though, that, in their statement, the entire situation was positioned as such: the ad was merely being "misconstrued" (undoubtedly by the rest of us dummies). It was also implied that they pulled it because it was distracting the nation from the "serious discussion" THEY had hoped to have (of course, people who disagree with them being too simple minded to engage in serious discussion). Typical leftist spin and distortion to the last, never admitting blatant lies, even when they're caught red-handed. They are vile.

You might be right. However, that is a stupid strategy on their part and it helps us. Only a hard-core pro-abort who's in their camp will believe that a lawyer working for the Justice Department wrote a brief saying, "The official government position is ' Feel free to kill all the abortionists,'" much less believe that the big bad evil right wing media suppressed this truthful and even-handed ad. They're also going to have a mess of trouble lumping factcheck.org into the right wing camp, much less MSNBC and NPR.
Nope, tactics that mainly make your base feel what passes for righteous anger on their side are really, really dumb. They could have played up the uncertainty on Roberts' abortion views, and instead they established that they love killing babies so much they will accuse someone of being a terrorist just because he discussed a fine point of law that would not have made it any harder to kill a baby. They have also revealed that they have nothing that can make this guy look extremist, even when put through their MinTruth twisting machine. They have really, really screwed up.
Around here somewhere I have an article I wrote about the 707's development phase, and I seem to remember that Bill Allen (the president of Boeing) gave no outward sign that the roll was unplanned, but he did quietly ask someone to get his heart pills.
Rush has been reading your posts. He just said word for word what you posted.
I don't know what all the cheering is about. I actually liked the fact that they ran a blatantly false ad. They were exposed for what they are: a fringe group that has no serious support, and will lie to no end to get their views heard. Prolonged running of the ad made that point better than anyone saying it.
THAT MADE MY DAY-HALLELUJAH
Wow. Did he read it directly off of FR or did he just use the same idea? Yet another brush with fame?
The lovely ladies of NARAL have chosen to terminate their over-the-top Judge Roberts ad, i.e. the one that accused the Supreme Court nominee of being in league with self-circumsising clinic bombers. That's what they get for using the propaganda equivalent of scissors to the skull when a gentle suction tube of distortion would have sufficed. Technically, the ad did run for a short while so we'll have to term this a partial-campaign abortion--the most horrific type. Next time, perhaps the guardians of uterine liberty will practice safe rhetoric, or better yet, abstain altogether.
very nice. he just called it a partially aborted ad, or something like that. I had just read this thread before I heard Rush say it, so the term was fresh in my mind
'tis a good day. MSM's monopoly is broken. the people know
: }
"Facists."
Yes, they are, multifaced phonies.
That makes the story even better.
However, it appears that the surviving ad is going to end up an orphan.
