MoveOn's Ad Not to Air on CBS's Superbowl
I got an email just a little earlier. I couldn't get through on the MoveOn link to sign the petition to CBS, so I logged on to CBS.com, clicked on the Feedback link at the bottom, clicked on the tiny little "click here" Sports Feedback link in that window, then entered my info (I didn't enter that weird little i.d. asked for, but my comment was accepted).

http://www.cbs.com/

Here's what I wrote:

I heard you weren't going to air the MoveOn.org's ad about Bush during the Superbowl. And you call yourselves an agent of a "free" press. Rich.

I'm sure you have seen the take of a real Republican on what you are doing.

"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."

Theodore Roosevelt

Now what do you say, ye of few cojones and questionable patriotism?

1. I got the email
from moveon about the petition. When I tried the petition only option I got the 'internal error' message. Signed the petition when I got to it by going through the view the video link but then got the 'internal error' message again. In a few minutes I got another email from moveon that the message was sent. I hope it was, what does this message mean anyway, that they are having server problems? Didn't they have a DOS attack about a month or so ago?

2. It could be a de-facto DOS...
...from everyone getting the email and taking action the day it comes out!

3. Thanks
then that would be good news this time instead of them being hacked again. It's going to be a real fight to get even committed dems to not watch the Superbowl!
