I’m not surprised. On DISH network he’s got channel 73 running propaganda 24/7 right now.

If he does this, isn’t CBS required to give McCain equal time?

The Messiah's friends will crash the market on that historic day and then The Messiah will address the nation, promising soup for everyone, as long as you accept an “O” tattooed onto your forehead or your hand..

No. It's purchased time, just like a commercial.

What they ARE required to do is have the same advertising rate for each candidate.

The Messiah Speaks,
America will Obey!

Get ready for full-throated socialism in the USA, with Hussein as titular head of state.

McCain should run the hardest hitting ads while it is being broadcast.
