One thought I’ve always had about that stupid “statistic” about the Super Bowl.

Back when that charge came out, there were only 28 teams in the NFL, compared to the 32 now. But still, that means that the fans of TWENTY-SIX teams were thinking primarily that their teams were NOT playing. As such, I always thought that, if there were any truth to that stat, it should be much worse on a Sunday during the regular season, when more fans actually had a stake.

The Super Bowl has, for a LONG time, been more pageantry than football – the importance of the ads at a typical SB Party shows that. C’mon, “ladies” – next time you make up a phony talking point, do a little more work on it!

If we had a black athlete doing a commercial for the NAACP about civil rights, would anyone argue that “sports shouldn’t be used to divide us” because there are Kluxers and other racists out there? I didn’t think so.

But if they really believe that, there should be not a single photo of Barack Obama — the single most divisive president of my lifetime — anywhere in in evidence during the game or the commercials. After all, his negatives are high, his approval ratings are low, and he has been rejected by voters in the last three states that spoke their will.

I don’t see anything in the message of that ad that calls for overturning Roe v. Wade or placing any new restrictions on abortion. The feministas are having a cow over nothing.

It’s an ad with a positive message: where there is life, there is hope.

It’s an ad where a solid young man with character to spare gets to send a heartfelt “thank you” to his mom in a way none of us here ever will.

And someone named Jehmu Greene finds this offensive? I have a few questions for her. Are you saying his mother should have aborted him? Are you saying that thanking your mother for giving you life is “divisive”?

Here’s the real reason they’re going ballistic: they have absolutely no way to respond to it. Do an ad calling for banning abortions, and they can respond with one about the “right to choose”. But run an ad that celebrates live and expresses love….and they have a big problem. Because abortion has nothing in common with either.

They can’t run an ad with someone saying they’re glad to be aborted, for obvious reasons. The closest they could come is a spot featuring a woman saying how glad she is to have had an abortion, and that runs a huge risk of her coming off as a self-centered jackass. Celebrating death isn’t going to win many converts.

And they wouldn’t be able to make the case that abortion is love either.

So with no good response, and with the potential for this ad resulting in a downturn in women taking the sacrament of abortion, they do what statists always do: try to stifle speech. We don’t like it, so you shouldn’t be allowed to say it.

[…] message while enjoying some entertainment. Maggie’s Notebook has the details and Sister Toldjah has Sarah Palin’s […]

If the feminista types don’t like the ad, they can just change the channel while it runs. No one is forcing them to watch.

I’m very happy to see this kind of message and hope the network doesn’t cave in and cancel the ad.

No mystery why the pro-abortion crowd would not want to see this; had they made another “choice” they might have had a son who would take care of them for the rest of their lives.

What does NOW want, an ad where Tiller’s wife is awarded a Gold Plated Spike by Obama posthumously for Dr. Tiller’s 18,000 late term abortions?

Well how about showing a sonogram of an abortion right after the Tebow ad -you know equal airtime for both sides! That way women can make up their minds what to choose. Thats what it is supposed to be about,right? THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE???

If CBS crumbles under the pressure of this “community activist” group (does that remind you of anyone?), I’d be all in favor of promoting watching something else during the game, or turning the cotton-pickin’ idiot box off! Especially since it seems the NOWzis don’t have a clue how to do that. It would be nice to show those weasels that a minor league bigmouth bunch like that doesn’t hold much sway with people who actually buy the products being advertised…
