Focus on the Family - Tim Tebow

I don't get it!

I liked it. That said...much ado about nothing.

They just said "Time runs out on the first half."  Did Tebow do that?

My local AM talk station in Los Angeles got a copy late last week and played it one time. They played interviews about it before playing the ad spot. Even then, it seemed "much ado about nothing", as ThreadKiller mentioned earlier.

But as the host mentioned on the radio show, after playing the spot, it opens the door for more political spots (in the Super Bowl) in the future.

Blah!

Yes, but apparently only their side of politics.

Yeah, you're right.  Although Planned Parenthood didn't have the money to run an ad during the Superbowl.

This is the second time I can think of that CBS (not sure if it was the Superbowl) refused ads of a more liberal bent.

Nothing offensive from what I saw. It was certainly better than the POS moveon.org sneaked into the 2004 Super bowl via the Local TV Slots. (They did this after CBS Refused to carry their Ad.) Many Advertisers, knowing their Ads contain offensive material will do this because the Local Stations don't have the money to take on any Legal Challenges the advertiser may toss their way if they refuse to carry the Ad. This is why you see things like "ED Pill' Ads aired during Childrens Shows!

wow the left needs to pick their battles a lot better... (speaking from the left) this was a rather uneventful if not thoughtful ad.
"waaah they shared their beliefs and wanted to share it in order to convey the message that theirs is right and others are wrong! "

Well, it's not nice to tackle your mother... or old ladies.

I don't really care, but I HATE Focus on the Family so much!

I kept waiting for the rebuttal commercial featuring some grief stricken father who would tell the tale of convincing his wife to go through with her pregnancy when they had the same diagnosis only to watch his baby anguish in pain until it finally died in her arms and then she went crazy and took an overdose of pills a month later.

When I went to bible college back in 91 we were often met with the standard anti abortion dialogue one would expect at a conservative Christian college.
One morning at chapel this highly respected and nearly revered minister was guest speaker and was talking about hot button issues and the church. He then said, "God, is pro choice"
The sound of an administration and 500+ kids choking back bile and discomfort was telling.
He then went on further to talk of free will and Christ taking ownership of the keys to life and death from the devil during the "three days" and so on.

Needless to say the campus was divided that day and that moment was talked about and referenced for the rest of the year.

One of the greatest moments of my time there.
I witnessed a man of God who thinks.

You KNOW they wanted to complain about the whole abortion issue, stating that it's a woman's right to choose, blah blah blah. Well, Mrs. Tebow chose to have her baby instead of kill it...doesn't that constitute as a woman's right to choose?

You might wanna do some research on the translation and meaning of "Thou shalt not kill" (has to do with killing versus murder).  In addition, the Bible found just grounds for numerous wars.  It never said that war was never justified.
