WTF?!?! Censure Jimmy Carter?
Just saw this ad on CNN - WTF?

Since leaving office, President Jimmy Carter has repeatedly undermined U.S. foreign policy, criticized the missions of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, as well as embracing known terrorists and terrorist organizations.

12. The Walton family and other very rich people...
are big time donors to Move America Forward. Jimmy Carter has obviously touched a nerve in the middle of the power structure and they're pissed. Good for him.

CBS refused to sell ad time to MoveOn and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals during the Super Bowl because the network claimed it did not accept advocacy advertising. Democracy Now! broadcasts the banned ad and a few others and hears from MoveOn's campaign director.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers yesterday in Super Bowl XXXVIII. Millions of people around the country gathered to watch the game and see the halftime ads that feature some of the most expensive airtime of the year.

But there were two ads that nobody got to see.

CBS - which was broadcasting the Super Bowl - refused to sell ad time to two organizations: MoveOn and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals because the network claimed it did not accept advocacy advertising.

MoveOn recently held a contest called "Bush in 30 Seconds" that asked for filmmakers to make a 30-second anti-Bush ad. More than 1100 videos were submitted. MoveOn planned to show the winning ad during the Super Bowl. PETA was planning to broadcast an ad that charged eating meat can cause impotence.

The MoveOn winner was an 18-second piece called "Child's Pay," protesting the Bush administration's creation of massive deficits while cutting taxes for the nation's wealthiest people and institutions.

4. A censure from this congress is like a badge of honor.
These ass-clowns are going down in history right along with the dear leader as the worst ever.

7. If monitoring foreing elections for fairness in undermining U.S.
policy, then, keep doing it, Jimmy. I just wish he'd monitor our elections. The last two presidential elections reeked of fraud.

11. Can we censure Rumsfeld for shaking Saddam's hand?
and selling weapons of mass destruction to him during the 80's? Seems more appropriate to me, than censuring Carter.
