Apparently, Iowa governor Chet Culver thinks that his personal feelings (and the personal feelings of those who called into to complain about this) are more important than others' right to free speech. What horrible ghastly thing could've upset this man to this extent? Bus ads. Bus ads which read "Don't believe in god? You are not alone." Oh, the humanity!
According to Culver, "[he] was disturbed personally...by the advertisement, [he] can understand why other Iowans were also disturbed by the message that it sent." He is disturbed at an ad stating that there exist people who don't believe in god? Not an ad saying that people should not believe in god, but an ad saying that some people do not belive in god. I'm not sure whether he is disturbed by the existence of atheists, or the public acknowledgement of the existence of atheists, but either way, this is a strange, bigoted even, thing to get offended over.
