From MoveOn.org
We didn't think the hypocrisy at CBS headquarters could get any worse. But it just did.
As you know, CBS refused to run MoveOn Voter Fund's "Child's Pay" ad -- perhaps the most tasteful and uncontroversial advocacy ad in history -- during the Super Bowl. CBS executives claimed they had a blanket policy against all so-called "issue" ads.
Yesterday, we learned that the network plans to broadcast an ad promoting the Bush Medicare prescription drug law. This is part of a $13 million taxpayer-financed TV campaign to take the heat off the White House for pushing through a drug plan that benefits drug companies and insurance companies more than Medicare recipients.
The White House ad features the tagline "Same Medicare. More Benefits." But a report by Consumers Union last month said that most people covered by Medicare will wind up spending more for prescription drugs, as a result of the provisions in the law which favor drug companies. According to the Washington Post, the campaign is intended "to counteract Democratic criticism that changes to the (Medicare) program will harm older Americans."
If that isn't a controversial issue ad, we don't know what is. But since CBS appears to be changing its policy, our Voter Fund has submitted our own Medicare ad which exposes the facts behind this spin campaign to run on CBS. So far, we haven't heard back. Please give CBS a call today to let them know that they need to either pull the White House ads or run ours.

I'm glad that you've finally shortened your typical response down to just the necessities. Could you keep your bleating down, though, some people are trying to have a discussion here. You don't have to remind us, "Four legs good, two legs bad," in every discussion, after all.

whatever. moveon.org is a disgusting, pathetic excuse for a political movement, and all it feeds its weak-minded visitors is tainted and virulent pig slop.
I'd rather be bleeting away than behave as your ilk: oink-oink-oinking wildy and rolling in your own pseudo-intellectual feces.

You wouldn't know the truth if it hit you with a laser guided cluster bomb. Mouth-breather. If the TV/radio didn't say it it ain't so. Don't you have some WinTel forum to post on? You obviously don't belong to MY platform. Or are you one of those graphic designers who thinks they are artists and therefore have skipped the intellectualism and just gone straight to knowing it all.

And you can't pry your finger from your mom's **** even when she's on the rag. BFD. Glory to Allah on the day your single dysfunctional neuron fires of its own accord with any independent thought not generated by some left-wing, pro-terrorist, pinko website full of the Excrement of the Left.
Have a nice day.
