Q101 used to be a really good radio station -- I was one of their biggest fans. That was before they brought on that loudmouthed lout.

Liberals - they always become what they hate. In this case - censors.

Willow Creek is the church that invited Clinton to speak. I still go there every once in awhile.
Frankly I think this ad was a little too confrontational. He may have worded it differently, perhaps;
"In a world of choices, consider God"
"Find out what you're missing at..."
"For a word from our sponsor visit...."
Many Christians turn people off with their "in your face" attitude. I think Christ might be embarrassed by some approaches. This message had "I'm better than you" written all over it IMHO.

But I suppose they play that stupid whiny "Saudi Arabia and the USA--Partners Against Terrorism" ad over and over and over.

"...that sort of controversy"

Nope, wouldn't want people to think about God.... Too controversial. (rolls eyes.)

Your standard morning-show smut controversy, on the other hand, is just fine.... Of course, morning-show smut is no longer controversial, it's their bread and butter.

Looks to me like the only "controversy" is their fear that even a 10-second mention of God will eat into their ratings ad revenues. (They're probably right that it would.)

It's really not about the message being controversial. It's all about disallowing Christian messages or messages from Christians. It really doesn't matter that it happens to be Mancow because anything Christian would also be rejected by other secularists. Bottom line is that folks think that the Christian religion must be walled off from the rest of society. They also know that Christians are fair game to pick on and they rarely fight back.
