GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (AP) -- Rolling Stone magazine has reversed itself and agreed to accept an advertisement for a new translation of the Bible.
After first rejecting the advertisement, Rolling Stone sent Zondervan a contract for a half-page ad in the rock magazine's February 24 issue, said Doug Lockhart, executive vice president of marketing at the nation's largest Bible publisher.

Would we be so "hooray" for them standing up to their principals if they'd chosen not to run an ad for a product supporting the liberal causes? Seems when a "conservative" organization stands on their own principals the flames and accusastions fly.
Double standards really suck, eh?

Imagine how the left would have been howling if Fox News refused to run ads for MoveOn.org or other liberal groups during the presidential campaign!
It's a private company and according to "Conservative Principals" this company has every right to run whatever ads it wants and to be as biased as it wants

Umm yeah whatever. It's a private company and according to "Conservative Principals" this company has every right to run whatever ads it wants and to be as biased as it wants. If you're so concerned about it Boycott the magazine.

Based on actual conservative ideology sure, but not this newish 'religious conservative' ideology of course.
And as for the liberal/conservative tag...how can anyone say the bible does not have political significance?
if one political party consistently promotes banning references to it, claiming separation of church and state, while simultanelously promoting Islamic rights to bring religious symbolry into government, civic and public agencies, while the other party defends the Christian holy book to remain where it has been traditionally for over two hundred years, it becomes obvious the bible represents one party much more than the other.

If you do any of them you will burn in hell for eternity, but he loves you.

Praise "Rolling Stone" and may George forgive any paraphrasing sins I have committed.
