Default ugh.. i'm so sick of politics and the media..

yes, it's another one of those threads..

the dems are in an uproar over this.. http://www.swiftvets.com/

the Kerry campaign and democrats are threatening TV stations to keep them from airing that commercial. Bush said that his administration had nothing to do with the movie and that they dont endorse that sort of thing. he also said that the commercial shouldn't be aired because its improper, but that he expects the democrats to do the same thing and not approve of that kind of advertising against him.

however, the democrats have no problem launching a flurry of insults every change they get. so basically, they like to do whatever they want, but then they can't take it when the tables are turned.

then there's the f'in media. Cheney got criticized when he told someone to **** off. but when Teresa Heinz-Kerry tells someone to shove it and goes around with her bitchy attitude, she's being assertive, and you get articles that say "you go girl".

I thought that was smooth how he turned it back onto Kerry that way. If Kerry were to agree, say bye bye to moveon.org. I'm pretty sure that won't happen.

but that's the liberal double standard for you, did you expect a different reaction from them?

reno,

If you're so sick of politics why do you start an anti-liberal anti-kerry thread every couple of days?

You have very selective ears. Teresa Heinz-Kerry was also attacked and lambasted by some for her aggression to that reporter...


Anyways, I think you should read this article:

When it comes to nationally aired commercials they can object to content...webcast however is another matter.

I think if the vets were smart about it they would ditch the airing and just flood it across the web to get their message out.
