Now that you’ve seen the ad, I have to ask you “Why did the liberal world lose its collective mind over this?”
Prior to the ad airing last night during the Super Bowl abortion groups were up in arms over the ad even demanding that CBS pull it. Erin Matson the VP of the National Organization for Women demanded CBS pulled the ad and called it a message of “hate” and that the ad was “un-American”.
What do these people smoke?

The BEST free marketing I have ever seen.... The libs looked like fools when they cried and complained about this.
The women’s groups really stepped in it. They were played like a fiddle, and provided much more interest and publicity for the ad than Tebow and Focus on the Family could have ever hoped for.
Exactly so!
Well said!
Classic rope-a-dope - who knew Focus could pull it off - way to rock it!
I have to hand it to Tebow...he has probably cost himself in the NFL Draft by doing this....and apparently he does not care.
I have seen the ad and trying to figure out where the “hate” “unAmerican” parts were.
I hope the left keeps harping on the ad in such extreme language, people are going to go ‘huh? And it will make the left look even more foolish than they are.
The link goes to an article from 1/28/2010. Am I missing this article somewhere on that page?
“he has probably cost himself in the NFL Draft by doing this”
He is a hot commodity, especially among women and he is eminently draftable.
Gotchya.....like playing poker with the joker!
I seriously doubt it.
I must have been out of the room when it aired. Anyone have a link of it online?
I heard (no supporting info) that FoF redid the ad a few weeks ago to tame the ruckus.
good ad.
If I didn’t know what the ad was about, I wouldn’t have even known what the ad was about. My best guess would have been greeting cards or life insurance.
CBS was unlikely to turn down the money. Did you see all the commercials for CBS programs? Each and every one of those was a slot they were unable to sell to somebody willing to pay real money for a Superbowl ad.
Nominee for most tin-eared, clueless objection to the Tebow ad: "The Women's Media Center, which had objected to Focus on the Family advertising in the Super Bowl, said it was expecting a "benign" ad but not the humour. But the group's president, Jehmu Greene, said the tackle showed an undercurrent of violence against women."
Honestly, there must be pro-life moles serving as communications/media directors in these pro-abort women's groups. They're failing by the numbers and running out of feet to shoot themselves in.
The same way "Vick" would be an outcast in the NFL after dog fighting? I seriously doubt this because money talks and A LOT of coaches and players respect this type of leadership and faith. I believe the NFL will look at him as a HUGE money maker!
I didn’t see a problem with the ad. I do find it amusing the Left couldn’t produce a coherent reason to support being upset by it, or an effective counter ad.
