This isn't some whacko website or leftwing thing, check news. google.com. They really ARE pre-empting 2 hours of prime time network television to make a smear ad against Kerry.
Regardless of which side you're on, this is atrocious and manipulative of the american public and a total violation of the FCC guidelines. I'll remind you also that this is the same "LIBERAL MEDIA" that didn't air the show they'd made about Ronald Reagan because it didn't portray him as the Baby Jesus.
Welcome to the new world people, it's not 30 minutes into the future anymore, it's 30 minutes into the past.

Clinton escaped Vietnam by being a good student, and Kerry escaped Vietnam by being there and making use of his injuries - but their front man played AWOL to participate in a smear campaign, and to do a batch of coke. You'd have to have less brainpower than Bush to think that looks good.
They will tamper polls, they will tamper television, they will tamper elections. All we can do is hope that Americans can only be lied to so often before both hearts and brains cry out in outrage.
And that's why liberals tend to lose to conservatives. Because by definition, we have qualms about shutting them up, shutting them out - it grates with a lot of us, born and bred on the idea of freedom of speech. The enemy has no such ethical dilemnas.
