**Under pressure from outraged viewers, NBC has reversed its decision not to air the Freedom's Watch ads thanking troops...

Maybe his un-American, treasonous rants aren't having the desired effect on his audience.....

I really hate that guy.

I'm not crazy about Rush or Billo, either, but I really hate him. He seems like the kind of guy to me who'd have really bad breath.

NBC Decides to Run Conservative-Group Ad

By JIM KUHNHENN – 1 hour ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — NBC reversed course Saturday and decided to air a conservative group's television ad thanking U.S. troops.

The ad, by the group Freedom's Watch, asks viewers to remember the troops during the holiday season. NBC had refused to air the ad because it guides viewers to the Freedom's Watch Web site, which NBC said was too political.

But in a statement issued Saturday evening, NBC said:

"We have reviewed and changed our ad standards guidelines and made the decision that our policy will apply to content only and not to a referenced Web site. Based on these amended standards the Freedom's Watch ad will begin to run as early as Sunday."

NBC' head of standards and practices, Alan Wurtzel, notified Freedom's Watch's media consultant Saturday by e-mail, writing: "This will confirm that the Freedom's Watch spot is approved for air."

Freedom's Watch President Bradley A. Blakeman welcomed the decision. "We're actually very happy that NBC has agreed to change its position because it will only help the troops be properly thanked," he said.

NBC initially said that airing the spot would violate the network's prohibition on controversial issue ads. Wurtzel, in an interview Friday with The Associated Press, said NBC found nothing wrong with the ad's content, but rather objected to the link to http://www.FreedomsWatch.org, viewing the Web site as too political.

"I think they had an agenda," Blakeman said. "They didn't like our Web site and didn't like what we stood for."...
