pathetic blackwell rally in blue ash

Yesterday evening's pathetic rally in Blue Ash was a stinging rebuke for blackwel, heimlick, and schmit (names intentionally misspelled to indicate total lack of respect).

See the Oct. 19 entry at the unrelated anti war site for details and pictures and an exchange with a conservative student - http://www.unrelated.net/antiwar/index.html

And then there's local "newspaper" story:

Also worth a look: the Blacks against Blackwell website. This sort of thing is especially relevant if you feel you are part of a minority looking to support a fellow minority member, regardless of whether that person agrees with you on your issues:

And finally, as you no doubt have seen the republican attack machine is on the offense yet again.
If its not ridiculous statements about Ted Strickland's sexual orientation it is now this baseless attack on Sherrod Brown. Have you have seen the attack ad accusing Sherrod of not paying hisunemployment taxes. The charge in the ad is blatantly false, and the TV stations airing it know that. The documentation that proves it's a lie is here: http://sherrodbrown.com/press/releases/788/.

The RNC has declined to pull the ad. TV stations are being contacted by legal teams asking them to pull the ads since they are lies, but they need to hear from their viewers that these ads are unacceptable.

Take the time to call the local Cincinnati stations (and any other stations airing falsehoods) and voice your concern over this issue. In this case, the message would be something like: "Your station is airing an attack ad against Sherrod Brown by the RNC and Mike DeWine that was proven false. It is slanderous and I'm demanding you take if off the air."

The stations airing ads they know to be lies are:

- Cinci WLWT 513-412-5000

- Cinci WCPO 513-721-9900

- Cinci WKRC 513-763-5400

- Cinci WXIX 513-421-1919

Keep speaking truth to power.
