TV Ad Attacking Court Nominee Provokes Furor - New York Times

The media war over Roberts' nomination begins! Go here to factcheck.org to see a reasonable analysis of this ad. I think this ad will backfire on the sponsors and they would be wise to pull it. The networks could take the step of refusing it, but that's unlikely.

I just watched the ad and it is despicable. So sad.

By attempting to link Roberts written opinions in a Supreme Court case to an abortion clinic bombing that took place years before with no direct link between the two is the lowest form or political behavior. People aren't stupid. With the furor kicked up over this ad, the TV talking heads will have no choice but to condemn this trash advertising and people will see through it.

NARAL represents the lowest form of advocacy behavior with this TV spot. They should be ashamed of themselves.
