And you'll know they are Christians...

This one's rich. Via Atrios, (http://atrios.blogspot.com/) we learn that the "networks won't run an ad by the UCC which says "like Jesus -- the United Church of Christ seeks to welcome all people, regardless of ability, age, race, economic circumstance or sexual orientation.""

In other words, a Christian church wants to run an ad saying they'll welcome everyone into their congregation (Hey -- What would Jesus do?), but CBS and NBC won't run the ad because, well, Christians -- and Bushco -- might get squeaky. Might think this means that the networks are, you know, approving of gay people or something. Heaven forbid that TV executives do anything, anything at that the Christian Right might not approve of.

What was that noise you were making about a liberal media again?
