Don't sacrifice the lives of our children for your mistake?

You lied to us?

What will I tell my child his father died for?

WTF?

Can we keep this Mickey Moore / Cindy Shithead horseshit confined to DUh.com where it belongs.

Why would FOX even accept such a commercial?

Yep.  George Bush lied.....but these people didn't !

Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 - "One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."

Madeline Albright, Feb. 18, 1998 - "Iraq is a long way from here, but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."

Sandy Berger, Feb 18, 1998- "He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."

Letter to President Clinton, signed by Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998 - "We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."

Nancy Pelosi, Dec. 16, 1998 - "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."

Carl Levin, Sept. 19, 2002 - "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them."

Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 - "Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." Remember this one, it will come back to haunt him.

Robert Byrd, Oct. 3, 2002 - "The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."

John Kerry, Oct. 9, 2002 - "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."

Jay Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002- "There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."

Hillary Clinton, Oct 10, 2002- "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."

What difference does it make to Fox -- or their audience for that matter. Take George Soro's their money.

I bet the account rep and sales manager at the ad agency are laughing their heads off right now.

I feel certain that they could have easily sold that ad space to another advertiser.

I wouldn't mind if it were FACTUAL and TRUE but it isn't.

Why not just accept ads from the American Communist Party and the Ku Klux Klan?

I'm sure they'd love to run spots on Fox.

I feel almost as certain that FOX charged a substantial premium for these ads. I'd be willing to bet they got WAY more than their normal rate.

I agree. Those commercials are disgusting.

I'm not sure if Fox has a choice. Isn't there some law that forces networks to accept ads if the advertisers are willing to pay the rate and the ad isn't sexually explicit or vulgar etc. material?

No it is not a good thing.

Accepting Klan ads for twice the rate does not make it ok.

They are promoting lies and propaganda. Money does not make that acceptable.

Fox sold a substantial amount of their credibility by accepting these ads. It is in fact a Liberal victory.

maybe they can tell their kids they died being a Solider or Marine of the US, and although war is violent, it is somthing that society has done for an eternity, is it always for the right reasons? no but it happens, and will continue to happen. so just as all great militaries, like the British, the Ottomans, the Romans, the Greeks and Spartans, they Died in Battle fighting with their brothers in arms. they died in order to preserve a great legacy of military courage in the face of an enemy.

But oh wait, that would invole aknowledging reality for a second, and thats not going to happen with these Asshats

If they have the money, they should be able to run political ads. I would much rather have a true open political system rather than the system they have in Germany where political parties are banned. Hiding the fringe will not make them go away, and in fact could make them grow. The far right in Germany has been getting stronger and stronger of late, as well as the far left, despite bans...

I don't feel a damn bit sorry for their loss, ther family members died for what they thought was right. Who are they, these bastards muching away while watching it play out on TV to say their loved one died for a lie?! God help them if their loved one's souls can see their actions.... For someone to give their one and only life for a cause is not something to take lightly, or to exploit for means other than the cause they died for.

I have no idea. I'm just rationally thinking this through. I would imagine any ad promoting racism would fall into the category I mentioned ("sexually explicit or vulgar etc. material") and would be denied. Every station has a standard of decency that they abide by.

I certainly agree with that. Please don't think I'm siding with the Libtards on this. I was just under the impression that there are fair-advertising laws that stations must follow, especially for political commercials.

I know that is the accepted procedure but at the same time I thought there were some things I could dependably rely on not having to complain about.

This is like the NRA nominating Michael Moore as member of the year.

This is like the Michael Jackson Daycare servive.

This is like the Bill Clinton guide to an honest marriage.

This is like the Socialist Plan to preserve individual liberty.

I mean c'mon.

Might as well make Mickey Moore an official FOX commentator if you are gonna present this shit as valid opinion based upon fact.
