Friend and occasional guest-blogger here, Jaime, had this to say in regards to yesterday’s item on the banning of the United Church of Christ’s 30-second spot by NBC and CBS because it’s message of tolerance and anti-bigotry was simply “too controversial”…especially, as the CBS press-release points out, in light of their need to kowtow to the ominous totalitarian fear tactics of an Executive Branch Gone Wild.
Jaime give us a quick look at how the wingnuts over at FreeRepublic.com are displaying their “Christian Values”:
“They’re liberals masquerading as Christians.”
“The left is out trying to promote Jesus in a way to fit there agenda….Pretty sick.”
“…spitting in God’s face outright by claiming this ‘new Christianity’ in the ‘real’ spirit of Christ. ie. Peace, love, tolerance…”
“Godless Left”

By the way, the good folks at Act For Change are submitting a petition to NBC and CBS asking them to air this anti-bigotry ad. Click here to sign their petition.
Perhaps the UCC’s launch of their "Investigate 2004 Election" campagn bunched some executive underwear at NBC and CBS??

Peace.
"I Declare The 2004 Election Invalid: Someone I do not know was prevented from voting"
Wow! Good catch!
Though their call for an investigation looks as if it was just issued today, so that’s probably not the reason, of course.
(AMERICAblog, who has been doing excellent reporting on this issue, reports that the controversy began quietly back in Feb of this year).
Either way, good to know there are Christians out there who *really* give a damn about a moral, just, inclusive, dare-I-say Christ-like, society.
