NBC Lawyer who nixed troop ad gives generously to Congressional Democrats (from redstate.com):As Jerry said, "Are we surprised?"
According to a Fox News report, Richard Cotton, the general counsel for NBC/Universal, was one of two network officials who decided not to sell ad time to Freedom’s Watch, which describes itself as “a nonpartisan movement dedicated to preserving, protecting, and defending conservative principles and promoting a conservative agenda.”
According to FEC records, Cotton has been a generous donor to Democrat campaigns and liberal causes. Earlier this year, he donated $1,000 to the political action committee (PAC) of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and last year gave the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) $7,000.
Over the past decade, Cotton has contributed at least $45,000 to Congressional Democrats, including $2,000 each to Clinton and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). (link)

NBC lawyer who nixed troop ad is a dem donor
H/T to Jerry at From On High for calling attention to RedState's post about the NBC lawyer who was part of the decision for NBC's refusal to air the Freedom's Watch ads thanking American troops during the holidays.

I dont understand what is partisan about this.
The commercial is far from political, i'm not sure why NBC didn't air it, but i'm certain it wouldn't be over a republican v. democrat issue.
Michael,
EXACTLY! It SHOULDN'T be partisan, but evidently it is.
Here's an example: I used a photo of the "WIN THE WAR/Victory in Iraq" sign as a screen saver on my office computer. The computer was a laptop that I could bring to a meeting room and hook up to a LAN connection there. Well, I was starting a presentation, so when I turned on the computer, of course the WIN THE WAR picture showed up. One of my coworkers asked if this was a partisan political statement. I looked at him quizzically and asked if he thought supporting the troops is supposed to be partisan. Let's just say that this guy wasn't exactly a Republican.
To many on the left, supporting the troops is a Republican thing only. So for those like this Cotton in a position of power, they obviously must stop it.
If you don't believe me, just think of how many colleges would allow military recruiters if the Solomon Amendment was not enforced. Just read Powerline about Stanford's efforts to interfere with JAG Corps recruiting at the law school there. Believe me, the same mind set is at work.
