It's Official - Tolerance is "Too Controversial"

Apparently, CBS, UPN, and NBC are refusing to air a Church of Christ advertisement that basically says that "All Are Welcome," regardless of race or sexual orientation. The reasons given boil down to the idea that it is "too controversial." I wonder: did these networks decline to air the dubious-veracity "Swift Boat Veterans" attack ads too (for certainly those were controversial), or is this a policy of convenience to mirror prejudices of network executives?
