What kind of disgusting "human" strategically buys political ads to run on the Weather Channel as people try to prepare for a potentially catastrophic hurricane? Is that really a good time to pedal divisive political rhetoric?? Jeez Hillary, I hope you realize that about half of Florida supports Trump and the last thing they need to see is one of your attack ads while worrying about their homes, family, and fellow Floridians. Don't they have enough on their plate?

The Hillary Clinton campaign has delayed a planned Florida ad buy on the Weather Channel after facing criticism for targeting voters in the path of Hurricane Matthew.

“We have requested that stations in Florida delay any of those ads on the Weather Channel until after the storm passes,” spokesman Jesse Ferguson said in a statement Thursday.

Politico first reported that the Clinton campaign had planned to spend $63,000 on Weather Channel ads in Florida over a five-day stretch starting Thursday, just as the storm nears the coast.

How is her running ads on that station any different from the car companies, pest control companies, and all kinds of other companies that are running ads on that station right now ? Radio and TV stations have ONE product to sell to make money and that is air time. It is what pays their bills. Why people got upset over Hillary running an ad and they are not mad at McDonalds for doing the same thing , I have no idea.

Oh, wait, I do have an idea, it was Republicans who were the complainers.

Why not get their minds off selfish political interest and have an idea to put those millions toward storm relief. I'm sure they'll need it.
Im pretty sure whoever's idea it was ... Hillary and Bill are sending a hit squad to take them out and make it look like an accident...

Yes, I am positive that FL was lost due to this. No doubt.

Taking advantage of the available exposure seems like a shrewd business move, I've got no real gripe with that. I thought that was sort of Trump's mantra.
She's done way worse that I can worry about.

Let's see Don...ads from car companies, pest control companies and McDonalds are meaningless filler to most people. However, most Americans take the direction of the country VERY seriously...ESPECIALLY a month away from Election Day. Why bombard them with divisive political rhetoric while their entire life essentially hangs in the balance? It's disgusting. When sh*t hits the fan, everybody helps everybody, but in this case, Hillary only wants to help herself.
