TV Campaign Says SUV Owners Support Terrorism
Controversial television campaign links gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles (SUVs) to international terrorism.
"One commercial features a child's voiceover connecting the dots between a man filling his gas tank and terrorist training footage. The closing statement: 'Oil money supports some terrible things. What kind of mileage does your SUV get?'...The campaign was inspired by a November column, 'Support Our Troops, Dump that SUV,' in which [syndicated columnist Arianna] Huffington wrote that Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham had warned that 'reducing our nation's dependence on imported oil is crucial to our national energy security.'...Opponents criticized the campaign's approach."Huffington said she received more than 5,000 supportive letters and e-mails in response to the column.
