CNN just aired Pro Alito add

[adarling]

Anyone else just see this. I know i should stop watching CNN, but i need background noise. I think it was paid for by the PFA? They had "democrats" on there that knew judge alito and said he was a great guy and to get confirmed and that they were disappointed in their party. So sick guys, just sick.

1. What incredible bullshit.

[Justitia]

2. I've seen it, I've been meaning to google that "yale professor"

I scribbled his name down once, but have since lost it.

What a bunch of BS, huh?

3. One of the 'Democrats' is Robert Del Tufo

former NJ attorney general:

A new Progress for America TV ad advocating the confirmation of Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court features an endorsement from a prominent Democrat: Robert DelTufo, a former Attorney General under Governor James Florio and an ex-United States Attorney. DelTufo was an advisor and fundraiser for Jon Corzine's campaign for Governor and for Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign. "He does not have a partisan bone in his body nor an ideological bent," Del Tufo says. "He would certainly be a credit to this country."

8. Also, it seems

that Alito used to work for Del Tufo when Del Tufo was a U.S. attorney in the 70s:

10. I don't understand why

Democrats in New Jersey feel the need to support an ultra conservative. I am starting to feel like I am the only jerseyite against Alito.

[wisteria]

9. Wow, Del Tufo's comments make you wonder if he has actually

reviewed Alito's judicial records.

4. I wonder if someone paid for this ad...

...or if CNN aired it free of charge as a "professional courtesy."

[wisteria]

5. they have been playing this all week or maybe even two weeks.

Frankly, if a pro Alito group pays for it why shouldn't they show it. I would like to know why it hasn't been at all countered by a anti-Alito message or even some Dems. It appears we didn't even try to hard to fight this nomination.

7. at least 2 weeks...I believe that's when my nausea started

[adarling]

11. yes i have felt a surge in dark energy since then

The dark forces are circling against us hahaaha

[newsguyatl]

6. they air anti alito ads too, what's ur point?

[adarling]

12. just haven't seen them before

thought it was worth mentioning.

[eve_was_framed]

13. it was worth mentioning...I know the first time I saw the pro Alito ad

I thought "Jeezuz, what is this an election?". I have CNN on all the time for background noise, much like yourself, and it sure seems that the pro ad gets way more air time. I've only seen the other ad once :(

14. that is not new i seen it for a few weeks
