If only a 527 Group would create one more ad--probably one that Bush/Cheney can't do (for some reason September 11 is supposed to be off limits)....

A quick search did not show this posted before. Its worth a listen, (Macromedia flash presentation - voice only no horrendous graphics). Too bad this can't be played on every raido station every hour between now and the election.

Available October 15, 2004, VirtueMedia's newest film commercials, produced in partnership with the Silent No More Awareness campaign. Version will be available in :60 second and :30 second formats for television, and as a :60 radio ad.

John will also be highlighting the new Swift Boat Veterans section at WinterSoldier.com.

My (generally liberal) brother sent the following to me and to others touting this site as an objective, nonpartisan resource for evaluating campaign commercials. My question is this: does anyone here know how "nonpartisan" these folks really are? -----original e-mail------- Hi- Got this from a friend, looks like a good site to get the straight scope on both sides of campaign adds: Campaigns already this ugly, you know it's only going to get worse. Regardless of your political leanings, I *highly* recommend looking at http://www.factcheck.org. This service is based out of the www.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org University of Pennsylvania from the Annenberg Public...

Click on this link and click on Troops-Fog...it is a great new ad, capturing another Kerry Flip-Flop. At the end of the ad, there is footage of Kerry stating, "I voted for the 87 billion dollars before I voted against it." The whole commercial focuses on Kerry flip flops and it is a must see! http://www.georgewbush.com/TVAds/

Between commercials and halftime show, NFL should move game to Playboy Channel Viewers who tuned in expecting a big-time football game saw the Super Bowl of Sleaze instead. Sexy and violent commercials that included jokes about flatulence and bestiality mercilessly interrupted the CBS telecast of Super Bowl XXXVIII from Houston last night, making it a dubious choice for family viewing. But it was the unexpected climax of the MTV-produced halftime show that shocked viewers and set the CBS switchboard ablaze. As a musical number ended, out popped one of Janet Jackson's breasts. Fellow performer Justin Timberlake clearly exposed it to...

Now, what do all those folks who watch the Super Bowl for the commercials have to say? Wasn't it fun? Especially if the kids were allowed to stay up and watch at least the first half of the game, 'cause that's where the really filthy ones were slotted. The beer ad with the two dogs was especially cute. A trained dog fetches his master a Bud from the cooler. Beer in hand, the master asks the other fellow what his dog can do. The other fellow's dog obviously bites the first man in the crotch, causing him to toss the...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - CBS on Wednesday defended its decision not to air an ad attacking President Bush (news - web sites) during Sunday's Super Bowl telecast despite objections from some U.S. congressmen who called the move an affront to free speech. Rep. Bernie Sanders, an Independent from Vermont, sent a letter co-signed by 26 other congressmen to CBS President Leslie Moonves on Wednesday criticizing the network for refusing to run the commercial from activist group MoveOn.org, that criticizes Bush over the rising U.S. deficit. The network rejected the MoveOn.org ad based on its policy against "advocacy advertising," which it...

The latest simplistic and fictitious offering by the propaganda machine known as MoveOn.org has a full compliment of untruths. But then what’s new, right? Featuring a Santa Claus checking off a list of gifts allegedly afforded big corporations by the Bush Administration it would seem that the strange and the weird at MoveOn.org haven’t been watching too much television lately. Either that or they haven’t the wherewithal to understand the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Law. Throughout the political fundraising season, and it seems as though the season has become about as seasonal as Chicago roadwork, the Bush-Cheney Campaign hasn’t been...

Beginning last night, millions of Fox News Channel viewers learned that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is linked with domestic terrorism. Two new television ads produced by the Center for Consumer Freedom expose PETA for funding, condoning, and supporting arson and other forms of violence. One of our new 30-second commercials features a young woman who talks about teaching her children to love and respect animals. But she denounces PETA's support of violence as extreme and unacceptable. The second spot begins by exposing PETA's opposition to all medical research using animals, including efforts to find cures for...

RNC to Run Ads Around Democratic Presidntial Debates face="Arial, Helvetica,Verdana, sans-serif" size=2> Washington, DC-The Republican National Committee today announced it will begin running television ads in Iowa on Sunday, November 23. "After 10 months, Democrats running for President have coalesced around policies that are wrong for America.  They unanimously oppose the President's policy of pre-emptive self-defense. They unanimously support massive tax increases. The RNC will continue to highlight the differences between the two parties on policy after policy that will provide the American people a clear choice in the next election," said Ed Gillespie, Chairman of the Republican National Committee....

<p>Toby Keith is a household face. America knows the goateed country singer from his TV commercials for Ford trucks and 10-10-220 long-distance service, as well as his memorable — and sometimes comical — music videos.</p> <p>Now TV bigwigs think Keith is ready for prime time.</p>

Coming up after these messages from our sponsors: more messages from our sponsors. Fearless Prediction: This fall one of the hapless makeover subjects in Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the hit cable show on Bravo that also runs on NBC, will likely be deemed to have inadequately gleaming teeth. The solution? Crest Whitestrips. Procter & Gamble makes Crest, and it is now in talks with NBC to feature the strips in at least one episode of the new series as part of a broader ad deal. Brace yourself for more of the same: product pitches inside the shows themselves....

Metro One Telecommunications is radically remaking its business as it places a high-stakes bet to avoid crumbling in its industry's collapse. The Beaverton company is competing against telephone carriers it once served. And it's spending about $30 million in hopes of elevating its reputation from an anonymous service provider to a household consumer name. The abrupt change in direction is unusual and risky for a profitable public company with substantial revenues. But Metro One said it has few other options. In the past two years, Metro One has drooped from one of Oregon's fastest-growing companies to a business struggling to...

Eva Narcissus Boyd was buried in North Carolina earlier this week. The name may not be familiar, but her music certainly is. Under the name "Little Eva," she recorded "The Locomotion." The song was a giant hit in 1962. Forty years is a very long time, even if Baby Boomers recall the era as though it were last week. I thought of Little Eva a few of months ago while driving. Her hit was playing on the radio and I wondered how many times I’d heard it over the decades. Surely hundreds of times. Maybe even thousands. I began conjecturing...

The liberals, or whatever they are calling themselves today (in addition to Democrats), are shaping up for a new assault on America. They've listened to the gripes of the public and hope to co-opt those complaints for their own purposes. Their focus will be the commercial media, especially television. To the public, TV shows are often silly, or too violent, or they set a bad moral example for our youngsters; the endless commercials are annoying, and news reporting is often biased and incomplete. Those are the complaints. To understand why the liberals are interested in these complaints, consider how they...

My local radio station, 570 KVI, has started a project to put a Pro Troops, Pro Bush, Anti Saddam, and Pro War tv commercial on our local TV stations. The radio station has pledged to pay the costs of making the commercial which is estimated at $5,700.00 and the radio hosts are asking donations from the audience to pay for the air time. This project was just made known to the audience this morning and their phones have been ringing off the hook with pledges. It is estimated we got at least $15,000.00 in pledges within the first 3 1/2...

I, like every other person in America, made sure that I was there for the kick-off. Super Bowl Sunday, the premiere American statement about our sports, about our life, about our country. Even if you didn't see a single down of regular season play all year long, you most likely found yourself planted in front of the TV for at least part of the game between the Bucs and the Raiders. A lot of people find themselves also checking it out for those million-dollar commercials. This year's batch was pretty good. The "Sierra Mist" ones were my favorite. Whether it...
