Salem Radio Affiliate WFHM 95.5 “The Fish” Removes Controversial Obama Ad

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 | Abortion, Faith, Faith And Politics | No Comments

It was brought to my attention by  One News that the Obama Campaign was airing an on WFHM 95.5 “The Fish” a Christian radio station in Cleveland…a station which promotes itself as safe for the whole family. Read a little further and you will know they are.

This particular ad used Scripture in order to garner votes for Obama, Ohio.

The ad was produced by the “Matthew 25 Network” and features former Ohio Congressman Tony Hall, a pro-life democrat. As a pro-life Democrat, Tony Hall should be ashamed to participate in such a misleading ad when he professes to believe in life.

The ad speaks of helping the “least of these” (which I agree with). However it is in complete opposition to Senator Obama’s position on abortion. If Obama believed in the Matthew 25 Scripture he would protect all life, but he does not.

How can you advertise protecting the “least of these” and at the same time promote the slaughter of innocent babies using the barbaric act of abortion and even infanticide.

I spoke with the General Manager at “The Fish” and expressed my concerns about a Christian Radio Station which promotes family values hosting the ad of a platform that espouses abortion. He was very nice and informed me of regulations requiring them to host the ad. However, he informed me they were going to post a very extensive disclaimer.

It was not  the optimum outcome but seemed the best we could expect. Imagine my surprise when I heard from “The Fish” just moments ago and told that the ad has been pulled. The “Matthew 25 Network” produces “PAC” ads which do not fall under the afore mentioned regulations and can be removed.

We applaud “The Fish” for their willingness to stand up on the side of life. I often say you find out who stands with you when you have the courage to stand up and “The Fish” stood up.
