Apparently they did not take kindly to Golub's comparison of the political behavior of the current Speaker of the House to a rubber chicken, for her cowardice in not standing up to the Bush administration. But that's not their call, and in the meantime the 3 major non-cable broadcast outlets ARE running the ad and they all think it's a delightful hoot.
The real problem is that Shirley wanted to place these ads specifically to support Keith Olbermann on MSNBC cable, and Comcast by their action is making it immensely harder for her to mobilize those who are Olbermann's viewers, her natural base. It is simply outrageous for Comcast to refuse to air perfectly acceptable political speech because THEY don't like the content. We must flood them with complaints, or Olbermann himself, with his own uncompromising commentary, may not be far behind.
The action page above will send your message of complaint to Comcast CEO Brian Roberts, and let Keith Olbermann and MSNBC know what's going on.
With more that 30,000 YouTube views already this amazing TV ad is having a real impact. It was a featured news story for a full news cycle the first day it aired. And it is only because of your
contributions that this is happening. Please watch it again, and if you can make a donation to run even more of these spots on the stations that are accepting them, we can really put the heat on Comcast.

You can make a real difference right now by telling Comcast that they need to back off. And if you can make a contribution of $100 or more, Shirley wants to send you one of the new bright orange "IMPEACH BOTH" caps to wear proudly. And if you can be a "tell it like it is" angel and donate $1,000 or more, Shirley will also send you one of her custom embroidered, satin baseball award jackets with the "I'm On The Table" message.
Keith Olberman himself has said much more unflattering things about members of the Bush administration than calling them chickens, and that's why we love him, for his truth telling. And it is critical for
Shirley mobilize the audience who watches Olbermann on cable, and in particular because only on cable can she focus on her constituents exactly within the limits of her congressional district.
The courage of Shirley Golub is a breaking news story. With your help in a matter of days we can break her out as true national leadership figure, and then won't Nancy Pelosi be running scared.
