Remember mean Jean and her slander of Congressman Murtha? Did you know that the DNC had billboard space to advertise against her statement but that Lamar advertising but the kabosh on it? (undoubtedly due to pressure from republicans)
Well, hardy har har..... follow me over the mountain to the other mountain, to see what we can see.....
During a debate on the House floor, Rep. Jean Schmidt called Purple Heart recipient and 37-year Marine veteran John Murtha a coward after he spoke out about the failed Republican policy in Iraq.
After 7,000 Americans came together to send Schmidt a message and to show Republicans in Washington that attacking the service of veterans for political gain will not go unchecked, billboard company Lamar Advertising - the company that owns the key real-estate in Schmidt's district - decided to reject the "Shame on You" billboard that was to go up outside of her Portsmouth office.
Upon hearing about the rejection, 100,000 of you signed a letter demanding that the billboard go up, but Lamar continued to disregard your right to be heard and still refuses to run the ad. So after listening to what you thought we should do, we've decided to purchase full-page ads in many of the newspapers in Schmidt's district, and a mobile billboard will hit the streets of Ohio's 2nd very soon.
Tom McMahon, the Executive Director here at the DNC, sent out this update on the Lamar situation...
I wanted to send you a quick update on some shocking developments in our billboard campaign in GOP Rep. Jean Schmidt's home district. As you remember, Schmidt called Purple Heart recipient and 37-year Marine veteran John Murtha a coward when he spoke the truth about the failed Republican policy in Iraq.
Over 7,000 Americans stepped forward to fund a campaign designed to show Republican leaders that there will be consequences for continuing their pattern of shamelessly attacking the service of veterans who don't share their warped view of reality.

You know, it's amazing how much of a stranglehold the GOP (greedy old parasites) has on business even though they really are not good for any except multinationals. But there is always a way around them and that goes for MSM too. We just have to be creative.
