Has anyone else seen these? They're on www.bushin30seconds.com
While I certainly respect CBS's right to decide which ads they want to show, I don't find anything particularly contraversial about them. Yes, they knock Bush ... but that's what political ads are designed to do. Everyone remembers the HW Bush ads where he blasted Dukakis and painted it that Dukakis was partying with Willie Horton.
Does anyone find these to be especially contraversial ads? If so, why?
I think the decision was right to not air ads that mention candidate names. The ad that was banned is actually a good ad. They should have just cut out the part about the debt being Bush's debt. The attribution wasn't necessary. If they want to make the deficit/debt an issue, you want it to be bipartisan/nonpartisan.
