    Should we also allow video of US soldiers cut to pieces from an IED, that would be free speech too. That was done during the Vietnam War, why censor it.

    If you are going to give advice be prepared to take it.

    look im against abortion in most cases, but im sorry this is he Super Bowl and i dont want it taken over by stupid ass politics. i want my football, i want my funny ass commercials and i want my kids to enjoy it with me.

    and lastly i dont want anything having to do with politics enjoying my good time we only get once a year.

    politicians and those who hate football, shut the hell up and stay the hell away.

    Sorry, what? The station itself has decided not to air the ads. From the article:

    If someone outside of the station was dictating to them that they couldn't run the ads, then it couldn't be corporate media censoring the message, now could it?

    Right and now conservatives want to do the same thing that liberals do.

    Conservatives and liberals are one in the same. Thanks for making my point.

    Personally I think any of them folks standing outside abortion clinics with pictures of dead fetuses should be arrested for child snuff porn, because them fetuses are naked and under aged.

    You feel exactly the same about showing the deaths of children in Iraq I am quite certain. You oppose the decision of the press to not show the bodies of soldiers yes? I mean if we are going to invade other countries and kill their born children, then we have a duty to look at them, yes?

    Somehow that is different to the intellectually dishonest.

    Firstly no one mentioned troll, the fact you bring that up says much about your own conscience.

    Second, as for your comments about liberal this and liberal that.

    Yeah that explains why I've more than triple the reputation you have reallypeople.

    Not my problem you couldn't do better than to make an emotionally driven, illogical argument.

    One which is also a self serving, hypocritical argument devoid of any fact. :rolleyes:

    Shocked I tell you! A liberal giant not wanting to deal with abortion? I was hoping that election laws might force the station to stop censoring anti-abortion speech, but it seems that even the laws on the books can't get around the media's pro-abortion stance. It's a shame. People need to know what abortion really is.

    Well isn't that just a twisted sense of what happened. This is called the FREE MARKET and he can't just say when he wants it to air, furthermore he isn't a real democratic candidate so guess you lose twice for being misinformed, but I should have known better.

    It's not a free market - there are laws restricting the market and this candidate was simply using the law. But liberals like you say " we don't like what you're saying so we're gonna ignore the law". That's the democrat way just like obama refuses to enforce laws against illegals and sanctuary cities.

    Here's how this works, folks.

    Indecency is fine if it serves your political purposes. That's essentially what some conservatives are saying in this thread.

    If you don't like censorship, then you should support giving less power to the FCC across the board.

    That means you're going to have to fight the Catholic League when they throw a (*)(*)(*)(*)fit over bare nipples, for example.

    You can't have it both ways. If you censor one way, you're going to end up with the same in the other direction.

    Anything else you need to lie about???

    Oh goodness, you have triple my reputation...

    That wouldn't be due to the right-wing circle jerk that goes on around here with all you hardline cons, would it???

    Nothing I said was hypocritical...

    But, make all the bull(*)(*)(*)(*) accusations you feel the need to...

    Ooh ooh!!!

    You should call me a liberalista!!!

    You haven't used that one in a while...

    I think you've forgotten that hypocrisy is the one consistent right-wing value. They can do whatever they want, no uniformity of belief is necessary.

    I have to say though I'm surprised at how many want to show their 3 year olds aborted fetuses. It's pretty sick. I mean they don't want you to teach your 6 year old daughter about sex but they do want her to see aborted fetuses? (*)(*)(*)(*) it, I forgot about that hypocrisy thing too!

    Well atleast the right is for private solutions to problems, er wait that's what they're complaining about. Hypocrisy is confusing.

    Why would we allow gratuitous graphic imagery during the super bowl?

    It's needless and disgusting. An attempt to rub political hot bed issues in millions of peoples faces.

    Nothing but a shock jock attempt.
