Will Olberman and Maddow defend Conway's Ad or condemn it?

[BootinUp]

Maybe they will do neither so I have included that option.

I think they will do neither.

[Enrique]

1. it's controversial?

are the Aqua-Buddhists offended?

[BootinUp]

2. There are plenty of DU'ers who seem to have

a problem with it. I don't btw. I am starting to doubt that Conway will be defended on it by the "professional left". Hope thats not the case.

11. You must not taunt Aqua Buddha.

So sayest Rand Paul, the founder and Lord High Colonic of The Church of Aqua Buddha.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball, either.

3. I dont think theres anything wrong with it

if it works.

It doesnt seem like it'll work though because its about ridiculous college stuff that doesn't matter.

I guess he has no alternative though with three weeks left, he has to throw the long ball.

[Warren Stupidity]

4. Are the 'we must be above the fray' gangs at work on DU again?

[BootinUp]

5. I think its a valid opinion to have

but these days I just can't agree with it.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. It has worked so well in the past

7. They should condemn it.

Say what you will about Aqua Buddha, but it's inexcusable that a Democrat is attacking his opponent for not being religious enough.

[The Northerner]

16. +1

Keep religion out of this, especially in a socially conservative state.

8. .

9. The question should be over whether it is accurate...

Mathews did not like it, because it said it called Paul's religion into question. I didn't agree with Mathews.

[McCamy Taylor]

10. Great ad. Dems need more like it.

[Tx4obama]

12. I see nothing wrong with the ad. All he is asking is 'WHY?'

I really don't understand the outrage over the ad.
Most of the republican ads are disgraceful, where's the outrage over them?

People should be outraged that Rand Paul tied up a WOMAN and forced her to worship an idol that was not of her own faith!!!
And just because he was in college - so what?
What's next? Is the public going to excuse other crimes such as rape, stalking, etc if they were committed 'during college' ?
The type of people that are running for office this year is DISGUSTING.

I can't believe that people haven't run Sharron Angle, Palantino, Michele Bachmann, Rand Paul, David Vitter, Joe Miller, Jan Brewer, etc out of their states!

[name not needed]

13. I'm outraged over the ad because religion has no place in politics.

[Swamp Rat]

14. Yep, we already know how bad things turn out otherwise.

[BootinUp]

15. Classic Swamp Rat!

[Tx4obama]

17. And where is the outrage against the republicans for talking about Obama's religion all the time?

All the people hollering about Conway now are hypocrites.
Where were they when we had to listen to uproar over Rev. Wright BS 24/7.
And where are they when the republicans are saying Obama is a Muslim?

I find the whole Conway so-called controversy a bunch of bullshit.

[name not needed]

19. No, we were pissed off about that as well.

Just because a Democrat pulls that shit doesn't make it acceptable. Frankly, this whole fiasco proves that neither candidate is fit to hold public office.

[Tx4obama]

18. There is NOTHING in the ad about Rand Paul's religion...

Watch the ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BCa8xw9yGY
It it calling Rand Paul out for joining a SECRET SOCIETY that mocked Christianity.
The ad is about the SECRET SOCIETY.
The secret society is NOT a religion so where in the ad is anyone bashing his religion?

[name not needed]

20. Oh no! He questioned the bible!

Who gives a shit?

[Tx4obama]

21. He joined a SECRET SOCIETY group... just like Bush & others join Skull & Bones

It is a valid issue to be discussed.

[name not needed]

23. It was a club that was banned by Baylor University for mocking Christianity.

Yeah, these guys are a real threat :eyes:

[Tx4obama]

22. self-delete

[BootinUp]

24. Damn I should have included Lawrence O'Donnell!

He is going to cover the story at least.
