  Really?  You guys want to go there?????

   

  I realize ads make you money, but that is 'out of bounds' in my book.

  This is America...freedom of speech...why did we celebrate Independence Day yesterday!  Every side of every issue has a right to be heard.  If a group wants to pay WGT advertising $$$ to broadcast its side of an issue, they have a right to do that.  If WGT wants to accept this $$$ to carry "free speech" on its website...they have a right to do that.  If you want to protest via a Forum Post your objection to WGT's decision...you have a right to do that.  This is America, where it is alright to stand up and speak your mind.  I respect your support of Obama-healthcare...but you need to respect the fact that there are others who do not feel this is good legislation.  I draw the line at hateful, vulgar, violent, types of ads/speech...that have no beneficial contribution to our societal values.

  This is not America. This is a website.

  Wrapping yourself in the flag and waxing misty-eyed nostalgic about Independence Day and your "rights", while admirable and patriotic, is a turd in the punchbowl on a golf website - which I think was the original poster's point.

  It's your opinion and there may be others on here who have their own opinion and maybe agree with the ad. If you don't like it just look at another page while it's loading. Every time I load a game I switch to another tab especially when having to sit through a 30 second commercial to watch a 5s replay. It's just part of the game.

  Not to mention New Zealand (first -1941) followed by Great Britain, Sweden, Iceland, Norway,Denmark, Finland, Japan THEN Saskatchewan in 1962 followed by the rest of Canada 6-10 years later (68-72)....a mere 30 years after NZ and 20 years after GB --- Home of ? naw...SORRY !   :)

  WGT is based in San Francisco and is likely about as liberal (in US terms) as they come. I assure you they didn't choose the ad on ideological terms.
