How is this brutal?

Great---I am all for free speech and all but people want to watch the Super Bowl and relax and not have politics crammed down their throat. I imagine the troops watching the game would enjoy some diversion as well without the constant reminder that some Americans believe that what they are doing is worthless. Very tacky.

What could be more insensitive than showing a disabled vet during the Superbowl. We are trying to relax here and not be remindered that there is a war going on. Next thing you know they will ask us to actually pay for the war.

Let's stop fighting the war over there! Bring the car bombings to our shores where American men, women, and children can be killed. Sounds like a great Idea to me. I'm moving my family out of the US and going to an Island where people aren't so stupid. I am so sick and tired of hearing this trash. Are Americans so narrow minded to think if we leave the Middle East the fighting will stop? That's insane! Wake up America and get your head out of the sand. If we don't win over there we will fight the war on our own streets. At least President Bush wants to keep the fight on foreign soil. That's more than can be said of the "polls". Thank you President Bush for having the guts to stand up for what's right! I still believe in you and your leadership. P.S. Don't respond, I really don't care what you think!

Heck, I want to watch the superbowl and not have junk food or car advertisement crammed down my throat, but I have to see them if I want to watch the superbowl because their commercials are paying for me to see it on TV. Likewise, the political groups commercial is also paying for me to see it on TV/
