Its too bad she wasn't aborted by her parents because she is truly a vindictive evil presence the world could do without. shame on you Evie!!!

From all I've heard, CBS is planning to air an advocacy ad although it routinely has rejected them. If CBS aired a feminist ad but denied a men's rights ad, would you not support a bunch of old ladies bitching about it? I would. More info from MoveOn.org: "The broadcast networks that air the Super Bowl have historically rejected advocacy ads. Yet CBS, which is airing the Super Bowl this year, has accepted an anti-choice ad by the ultra-conservative group Focus on the Family. Focus on the Family's "celebrate life" (read: anti-choice) ad features Heisman Trophy-winning college football star Tim Tebow. And CBS approved this anti-choice ad, even though the network has repeatedly rejected advocacy ads in past years, including a 2004 MoveOn.org ad that went after then-President Bush's fiscal irresponsibility and an ad the same year from the United Church of Christ showing them welcoming a gay couple who had been turned away from another church. Click here to sign the petition to CBS insisting they follow their no-advocacy policy and reject the Focus on the Family ad before the Super Bowl on February 7. More recently, on Friday CBS rejected an ad from a gay dating site showing two men discovering a mutual attraction when their hands brush in the potato chip bowl. The actors then pantomime a comical make-out session. But CBS says the ad "is not within the Network's broadcast standards for Super Bowl Sunday." So to recap: CBS wouldn't allow a group to criticize Bush, wouldn't let a religious group promote its own tolerance of LGBT families and considers a light-hearted dating ad out of bounds. But CBS is perfectly happy to allow Focus on the Family to promote its conservative social agenda. We must call CBS out on its hypocrisy and demand that it also reject the Focus on the Family ad. The Super Bowl is America's annual most-watched television event; more than 98 million Americans tuned in last year. And as anyone who's ever been to a Super Bowl party knows, the ads can be even more closely watched than the game, which is why CBS must not unfairly allow anti-choice commercials while rejecting those for other causes."

I guess it was too much to ask for. At least Kave gave a good answer. B&G,

I recall reading about Jesus torching the houses of the rich and inciting class revolution. Che Jesus! The reality is that Christ was all about spirituality. They tried to recruit him as a political revolutionary against their Roman overlords, and his response was that people should pay their taxes, basically. Yes, he overturned the merchants tables in the *temple*, but that's because they were in the *temple*. He didn't generally attack rick merchants. And while he criticized many times the accumulation of wealth as an end in itself, this was always couched in spiritual terms as being soul-killing. He certainly never advocated class warfare or the kind of "social justice" on a governmental scale that we see countless so-called "Christians" advocating today. It irritates me when the Gospel is misused in this way.
