Sheesh ... At Least They're Honest About It
The Ad Council ^ | 2/26/2003 | People For The American Way

Posted on 02/26/2003 3:06:45 PM PST by JennysCool

I was just browsing the (taxpayer-supported, let's remember) Ad Council site for a few newspaper fillers when I happened across the following on that portion of the site devoted to People for the American Way. I found the passage quite discriminatory against both religious individuals and conservatives in general. And, of course, I found it pretentious and mean-spirited -- the hallmarks of liberalism.

The passage follows:

People For the American Way Foundation is committed to defending democracy and bringing the ideals of community, opportunity, diversity, equality and fairness together to form a strong, united voice. To achieve this, PFAWF conducts research, legal and education work, as well as monitors and researches the Religious Right movement and its political allies. The organization is a premier source of vital information for policymakers, scholars and activists nationwide.

As I say in the headline, at least they're honest about their agenda, which we're funding, of course.

It never ceases to amaze me the intolerance of (so called) tolerant people.

I am frankly sick to death of the "Ad Council" and their self righteous, holy Joe "I'm an American" commercials.

They carry with them an implicit insult to the listener and are a total waste of tax dollars.

It needs to be shut down and if people aren't smart enough to figure out for themselves that there are Black Americans, Muslim Americans and Hispanic Americans then I guess that's just too f******* bad.
