Posted by we_will_prevail to jmstein7 On News/Activism 08/06/2004 3:20:11 PM EDT · 54 of 54

I live just outside Toledo and this Globe article managed to scare the local ABC station here, WTVG. THEY CAVED IN TO THE KERRY CAMPAIGN AND ARE REFUSING TO AIR THE TV AD, PER DRUDGE. Being that Ohio is CRUCIAL to Bush in November, does anyone in Toledo or near Toledo wish to get together in front of the station on Dorr St, to show dissatisfaction with their decision to NOT air the Swift Boat ad?

WTVG TOLEDO 4247 Dorr St Toledo, OH 43607-2134 (419) 531-1313

Well, they won't have to go far to cover the center of a national news story.

Do you think they need a tip?

This is good. The more the MSM tries to suppress it, the more people will want to know about it.

jm- it has occurred to me that every one of us ( and other interested parties ) who have CD or DVD burners should copy the ad and distribute it as widely as we can. Legion posts would be a natural, for starters.

Also, the ad found in the source link here:

HERE AN AWSOME AD TO ANSWER THE LEFT WING MISFITS!

...is really pretty good, too.

My e-mail to the TV station:


Let me see if I've got this right.

Michale Moore can peddle his dishonest vituperative jeramiad against George Bush with impunity in venues ranging from Internet Web sites to movie theaters to football stadiums all over the world and get free advertising for it from TV stations like yours.

The hollywood elite can gather publically to jeer and issue uspeakable filty epithets against a sitting American President in war-time, comparing him to Adolf Hitler and the gender-specific aspects of a particularly ugly and loud-mouthed movie star, and John Kerry and his admirers can call this "the heart and soul of America" without consequence.

George Soros and other wealthy elitists can throw untold millions at organizations and book-writing and film-making efforts whose prime focus is to bash George Bush in every imaginable manner while extolling the virtues their own anointed, and there is not ONE WHIMPER of outcry from the Bush Administration or the predominant media outlets.

And that's as it should be.

It's the First Amendment at work.

But let a few veterans try to tell THEIR story about John Kerry and his lawyers and the lawyers from the Democrat National Comitte descend as legions of demons threatening to wreak every imaginable legal harm they can visit upon anybody who gives them air time.

You, sirs, are COWARDS, and are NOT FIT to benefit from the First Amendment for which these veterans paid with their OWN BLOOD and the blood of their dearest friends.

Shame on you!

You are a disgrace!

Most disrespectfully,

John Kerry is either a "war hero" or a "war criminal"

Can't have it both ways.

I just called the station's News TIp Line at:

419-534-3858

I was told THEY ARE NOW GOING TO SHOW IT

I was ready to rant and rave but instead had to do an Emily Latella "Never Mind"

Good Work Freepers!!!!!

We're listening to Michael Savage now, and he said his station isn't using the ad as an ad, BUT THEY ARE USING THE AD AS A NEWS PIECE.

Simple! Easy solution!

Thanks for the ping, Tonk.
