Think Progress: VoteVets Ad To Run During Superbowl
VoteVets Ad To Run During Superbowl
Last week, VoteVets launched a powerful ad campaign opposing President Bush’s escalation policy.

ThinkProgress has learned that the new ad will run during today’s Superbowl. The ad, part of the Americans Against Escalation In Iraq campaign, will air in Washington, D.C., Minnesota, and Maine, targeting Sens. John Warner (R-VA), Norm Coleman (R-MN), and Susan Collins (R-ME), respectively. Those three senators say they oppose sending more troops to Iraq, but haven’t signed on to the anti-escalation resolution sponsored by Sens. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Joe Biden (R-DE).

Watch the ad focusing on Sen. Norm Coleman:

2. The right wing, homophobic asswipe NFL is allowing this?
Amazing. I guess the tide really has turned in this nation.

3. Thank you for your courage, VoteVets, and shame on you, CNN generals who pooh poohed the ad today!
This was on CNN's "This Week at War" with John Roberts who was speaking with two of their retired general analysts. Tell the truth, Roberts and name the program "This Week at 'Occupation!'"

These men fought and now over 3,000 have died for this president's ill-conceived rush to war and occupation in Iraq.

Remember what Teddy Roosevelt said...

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
