SALT LAKE CITY -- A Utah television station is refusing to air an anti-war ad featuring Cindy Sheehan, whose son's death in Iraq prompted a vigil outside President Bush's Texas ranch.
The ad began airing on other area stations Saturday, two days before Bush was scheduled to speak in Salt Lake City to the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
However, a national sales representative for KTVX, a local ABC affiliate, rejected the ad in an e-mail to media buyers, writing that it was an "inappropriate commercial advertisement for Salt Lake City."
In the ad, Sheehan pleads with Bush for a meeting and accuses him of lying to the American people about Iraq's development of weapons of mass destruction and its connection to al-Qaida.
"I love my country. But how many more of our loved ones need to die in this senseless war?" a weary-looking Sheehan asks in the ad. "I know you can't bring Casey back. But it's time to admit mistakes and bring our troops home now."
Salt Lake City affiliates of NBC, CBS and Fox began running the ad Saturday.

"Just a grieving mom". My BS meter just bent the needle when it pegged. If anyone didn't believe this woman is a willing tool of the Left, they should be able to see it now.
This from the woman who said America was not worth dying for.
Ratpuppet does TV !!!
That's a big big "but". And a big lie.
The sad part of this situation is that her son died fighting for a country in which his mom has the right, secured in part by his service, to shoot off her mouth to the point, where the demand for a urinal cake with her image would cause someone to make and sell that particular product, also within their rights, also secured by her son's sacrifice.
She should have stayed home and dealt with her grief. Now, though, she has signed in blood, and there is no turning back.
Then why have you associated yourself with a group like Code Pink that has given aid, comfort and money to the terrorists in Iraq?
They why do you associate yourself with groups that call our troops baby killers ??
Sorry Cindy .. but I don't believe you
May a blessing be on KTVZ, and a curse be upon
the rest of the Salt Lake channels. Doubly so,
on the Fox affiliate 6for it's betrayal deserves
a lower level of hell for it's management.
Throw her the HELL out!
I've HAD it with her!
If she doesn't think what she is doing hurts our Troops..
The she should talk to some I've adopted..
Ms.B
Good for them. Their ad sales will go thru the roof.
"W-w-w-a-a-y-y! Wayne!"
Thank GOD one station refused it, at least.
Though I'm mildly surprised at ktvx, if there is anywhere in the nation these clown's money should be wasted it's here in Utah. The stations should charge more. Bush has a >80% approval rate here.
Spend Cindy, spend... You are just as easy to ignore as Smilin Bob.
Bull****, vile woman. You yourself have said this country is (and I quote) "not worth dying for." And you claim to "love" this country. God forbid I should ever see what you'd do if you hated it!
Lousy Leftist moonbat hypocrite. (I know...redundant.)
I can arrange that.
Wait right here.
Who among us doesn't believe the terrorists watch with glee when these dimwits attack our government. Divide and conquer, it still works...
