Some N.C. TV Stations Refuse To Air Anti-Obama Commercial

 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

A controversial commercial making headlines across the country is getting turned away from some TV stations in North Carolina.

WSOC-TV decided not to put the ad on television because of its implications of racism. WSOC-TV believes it is inappropriate to air. It questions Barack Obama's patriotism and judgment.

The ad also said Beverly Perdue and Richard Moore should not be North Carolina's next governor because they endorsed Obama.

Republicans and democrats across the country said the commercial should not air, but North Carolina's Republican Party refuses to pull it.

The pastor at the center of the ad sat down for an interview that will Friday night on PBS.

Reverend Jeremiah Wright said, “I think they wanted to communicate that I am unpatriotic, that I am un-American, that I am filled with hate speech, that I have a cult at Trinity United Church of Christ. And by the way, guess who goes to his church… hint, hint, hint? That's what they wanted to communicate.”
