Bill O'Reilly Issues Progressives A Challenge

Last night's Talking Points on the O'Reilly Factor has to be seen to be believed:

Okay, maybe I'm mishearing things, but it sounded to me that Falafel Man just said that consumers should remind corporations not to reward bad behavior. You know, like hate speech or advocating violence against an innocent group of people?

So, does anyone have a list of FOXNews/O'Reilly's advertisers?

Kos is giving a pony to the person who finds the "violent overthrow" diary on the homepage. C'mon, Markos, you know Billo doesn't let something as petty as a truth or reality to get in the way of getting his secular-progressive hate on...

He has no clue what he is saying, has he :)

Oooo! I want a pony! :D

Bill Low Lielly -- an anal cyst in the world of broadcast media.

Dild O'Reilly is off his meds.

I'm sure the bloviator does his part to cut back on oil consumption by driving a sub compact or cycling to work.

RE: TV ratings,... Funny, I don't watch TV. Seems like smart, creative people are out living their lives, while vapid, goose stepping sheep stay glued to Fox News so they can be told what to think.

awww wittle billy wants attention again...

Sorry, I can't watch that today.

I've had breakfast and I want to keep it down.

I'm sure there have been calls for Civil Disobedience, like most countries experience in times of exceptional distress, like today in the USA. I know I've tried to organise a General Strike in the USA, but I was ALWAYS met with "pooh,pooh, on you, the Democrats will see us through..." by everyone I communicated with. The Business of Politics is Money and Power and it doesn't matter who you vote for (Dem or Repub)...the People will not get satisfaction...there should be an abolition of a two party system...no one political party should have more than 20% membership in Congress/Senate...that would (hopefully) allow for a more diverse political landscape.

"You're entering THE make-it-up zone!"

It baffles me once again how BillO can come out, make a completely ridiculous claim without offering any evidence whatsoever, and get away with it. Oh, wait.

Will you guys actually do something about the biggest misinformer, liar and hater - Bill O'?

Let's begin to boycott his sponsors.

I'm just waiting to be typed down to by the "experts" who will pontificate that my ideas are patently absurd...

At what point can a blog, news organization, or individual sue a "news" reporter, his show, or parent company. Often Bill O'Reily, Ann Coulture, or other right wingers will say the most blatently false things; why doesn't anyone press legal slander or libel cases against them? Or do they?

If I call BillO and ask him to point me to the quote, will I still get the pony? This is serious. I've never had a pony and like Lisa Simpson, I've always wanted one.

For bloggers there's no such thing as a bad hit. Thanks fathead.

This old man and all of those that fart dust while watching him are a waste of time.

Daily Kos scares the shit out of Billo for some reason could it be their audience grows daily while his shrinks?
This borders on the insane as far as ideas go Maybe the overthrow of Faux Snooze

Chances are the vast majority of those who watch him either don't have computers, or are lost as soon as they turn on the power. Navigating the Web is very hard for many in the bracket who watch BillO religiously, so they take his claims about Web content as being Gospel. Sad, really.

In his humble opinion?

He contains not an ounce of humility.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

He will have a debt to settle one day.....down at the crossroads.

What Billo doesn't understand is that people who want REAL news don't look to TV.

On the other hand, he probably DOES understand this but chooses to use this reduced viewership to support his deceptive analyses.

The power this man wields! He makes a suggestion and America goes into high gear taking up his cause. Or so he thinks! With his poor ratings and quality of his viewers – guys in their underwear eating Cheetos – he’s lucky he could find two legible emails from fans he could quote.

And who might have 'posted' this comment? The process of quibbling about comments is childish as ANYONE..including BillO himself can post on that site. There is absolutely nothing stopping some winger from posting outrageous crap at KOS then pointing to it from another vantage. NOTHING!
If it is Kos that has Billo's ire than at least he might cite Kos's words. Kos, a USA Military Veteran, has never advocated violence. NEVER. BillO, a man that did not serve in Vietnam and lacks the courage to tell us why, has always taken a vicious tone in his debates and...I think at one time advocated the destruction of a landmark building in San Fransisco: by terrorists!
Corporations have their very existence at the pleasure of the people. They are not our masters....we are their's.

Once upon a time (a long time ago, I think 2001) BillO actually came off as thoughtful and intelligent but as the years passed, he became psychotic and loopy. When I compare the BillO of 2001 with the BillO of 2007 it makes me wonder if this is even the same guy.

Speaking of corporations O'Lielly...why not go after Wal-Mart and their Red China slave labor workforce.

DD @ 24:

Dildo O'Rly only cares about Wal-Mart when they say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas"

I find it interesting that he/they are advertising on MSNBC in the 5-6PM segment, and boasting that they only present "facts."

BillO reminds me of one of those old southern baptist preachers. He tries to keep his flock intact by scaring them with wild accusations of what the "others" are doing.

Funny thing is that no one but the people who watch his show, Kos and us, even know about this little bs. The adverage person on the street knows nothing about this and cares even less.

I'm no lawyer but isn't that slander/libel (he said it AND wrote it)?

Let's hit O'Reilly where it hurts. I just fired off angry letters to the makers of Depends, Viagra and Polident.

Bill memory holes LGF, lucianne goldberg's site and free republic. He has a concentration camp fangirl as a guest host. This is more culture war so he doesn't have to talk about kids not being able to afford college, people not being able to afford health insurance and the inflation in food prices from gas and natural gas prices

Please don't feed Billdo - he's a troll w/a tv show.

O'Irrelevant has frequently smeared and deceived, he has often insulted and exaggerated, but this clip actually has me feeling sorry for him, in his state of insanity.

"Right-thinking Americans" are his audience...but THINKING Americans (70% of the citizenry) reject his nonsense. He may well be bright enough to see his own "professional" (I use the word generously) demise, as the folks turn away from the madness of the past 6 and a half years, and instead will expect and demand their nation adhere to its constitution.

So one of O'Liely's goons logs into a blog site like Kos and types a blatantly ignorant stupid post, such as "violently overthrow the government". They then screen cap it and put it on Faux News as a "typical" left wing post, and use it to scare companies into not advertising with "left wing" causes or they will be exposed.

The GOP blocks nearly everything in the Senate for the last 6 months, and then the major corporate media goes on and on about a "do nothing" congress.

Are you all as tired of the constant spin and marketing as I am? I think it is time to break up the big media companies for monopolistic behavior.

Why does his “Talking Points” segment always split the screen so that almost every word he reads off the teleprompter is also on the screen? Don’t they know that Bill’s audience is either illiterate or so far from the nursing home’s TV screen that they can’t make out the letters with their feeble eyesight.

I found it! It was just between the link for Satan-worshipping and the link for kitten-throwing.

Bill O'Goebbels has always supported the Bush/Cheney coup d'état of 2001. That is an already an overthrow of constitutional government.

He knows he's lying and here's how you can tell: It says "The DailyKos has a posting . . . " Some troll or sockpuppet probably did put something like that up somewhere, and even if it was there for only a few minutes Bill -O Really? can use it to defend himself from a libel suit. If he just came out and said Kos was advocating the violent overthrow of the government he would get his ass sued and Faux News would have to pay out $$$ to Mr. Zuniga.

I am

His boss buys out WSJ and Bildo thumps his chest.
I will continue to be an optimist about our country,however the Shadenfreude Storm Troopers that follow the likes of Bildo,Limbuagh,Hannity etc...will always be a negative drain on the emotions of our country.
"Every man should be allowed to rest in the shade of his own olive tree"...Voltaire
That should be the metaphor for a strong America, and a Federal Government that is dedicated to assisting ALL citizens to accomplish that goal.
When Bush talks about an ownership society he is refering to the accumulation of wealth of the 2% crowd, not the "every man" that Voltaire refers to.
We are falling behind the rest of the Industrialized world in Infant Mortality,Math and Science,Health Care for all citizens,Environmental Health,Pre-Natal Care, Head Start.
Do you think Bildo cares about any of that? Hell No! He gets upset when smokers are banned from smoking in Restaurants, or when a private business will not allow concealed weapons to be brought onto it's premises....phfft! And HIS people are in the White House.
Yes I am optimistic about our country, but we are headed the wrong way and we have to turn things around,NOW!

Kitten Juggling.

Um, how exactly did we get rid of our tyrannical British overlords back in the 1700s? Oh, right... violent overthrow. So, I believe there's even something or other about this in our Constitution, tying into something about the right to bear arms. So BillO is anti-Second Amendment now? Fascinating.

Is there something inherently ignorant or stupid about violent overthrow of the government? If there is, we've pretty much invalidated ourselves as a country, as we were founded in precisely that fashion, and have carried out or assisted in countless violent overthrows of governments since then.

Looking for the relevant Thomas Jefferson quote...

Careful! You capitalized NOW. Bill O'Reeky will quote your post and claim C&L wants to overthrow the government.

If what O'Reilly says about DailyKos isn't true, then that's Libel.

It appears the violent overthrow was achieved several years ago without DailyKos participation.

It's still beyond me that no one has organized a fully fledged campaign to get this nutso off the air. It looks like it's not only Congress that's spineless, is it?

Rather than going after the Faux News sponsors, why not generate a list of BoRe's sponsors and concentrate on them? The impact will be higher (and more to the point).

In case you missed it, here are the previous two video segments where O'Reilly attacks DailyKOS/YearlyKOS and JetBlue. Amazing - or maybe not surprising at all... depending on how you look at it

Bill-0 has just left the far far right and has entered a lone extremist partisanship that this country has never witness.

It's still hard to believe that his mindless anti-American reich-wing views would actually consider Bill-O "fair and balanced".

Why doesn't anyone sue him for slander? That might shut him up and force him to make sure the garbage spewing forth from that ugly hole in his face is something that he can prove rather than pulling stories out of a hat just to slander those who don't agree with him.

If he is allowed to get away with his brand of hate those who sit there and do nothing to force him to be accountable are just as guilty as he is!

Hit him where it will hurt, his pocket.

I'm over 21. I'm into sex kitten juggling.

Notice how he lumped CNN together with Faux Noise and ABC?

What are these "ethical" issues at NBC that he's ranting about? Does he mean catching pedophiles is bad "ethics"? Again, Bill-o defends pedophiles.

KOS should sue for libel. This kind of factual dishonesty should not be tolerated. Also, it would be good publicity for KOS and an opportunity to expose OReilly as the liar he is.

I like how he just plainly lies.
He did'nt say that ludacris sued pepsi and wonn.
All the money ludacris took from pepsi he gave to his charity.
I think kos may have a suit on it's hand now.

No dress codes, cuz it's so damn hard to get the seals to wear them. You can wear a dress if you want though.

I'm not a lawyer (I think), but how does Bill O. not get sued for slander?

How does he not get reported for making terroristic threats?

Strange times.

Does O'Reilly advertise "The Factor" on Keith Olbermann where you live?

Because he certainly does here . . . and it's especially hillarious when it comes right after Keith corrects one of Billy's "facts."

In fact his show is being advertised on a lot of MSNBC shows here. That says a lot to me and the only thing good it says is that he's scared of MSNBC and they are winning.

Sort of like when Glenn Beck CNN show was advertised on progressive talk radio . . . what are his ratings again? [snicker]

What a smirking piece of shit this guy is. He is so pathetic trying to get his point across with his jerking head, his stiff shoulders, and those sausage fingers always in the screen like he can't work without them. Someone tie this imbeciles hands together behind his back (he might enjoy it...)

If someone has access to enough footage, maybe they could make splice it (with dates) into a short video showing BoRe at his worst. The video could be posted at youtube or some such. Then we could write or e-mail the sponsoring companies links to it and ask them how they can sponsor such dreck.

Oh Bill O'Reilly, don't you know how to count viewer numbers?
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2005

Nice attempt to spin it though. FauxNews has a higher number of average daily viewers, because their viewers tune in longer to her opinion, spin, etc. Whereas, CNN viewers tune in for a few minutes to listen to the soundbites and catch up on news. CNN actually has a higher number of TOTAL viewers each day; FakeNews only as the higher AVERAGE number of viewers which is measured every minute or so.

Is it just me or has anyone else also noted the vicarious sexual pleasure Bill O' draws on his show. Pay attention to his choice of guests, experts, his questions and the issues he chooses to cover. And I say this with no bias against his idiotic views - this guy is a sexual pervert.

I am a lawyer and here's how he avoids getting sued: he has some troll post some crap about violent overthrow, etc. at DailyKos, probably buried in the comments or in a diary somewhere. then, before it can be deleted by Sitemon, they get a screencap copied. Now Bilious O'Really? can truthfully say that there was such a posting at DailyKos. He didn't say that Kos himself said that B.S., he only said that there was a posting.

It is time to get Bill O’Reilly off the air. Is there viable real world strategy/strategies, a campaign, and a venue to do so? The talk is Progressives and the Blogosphere are ever gaining in population, power and support. Well can this slice of the Fox cooperate network be dealt with? A plan, a real campaign executed with legitimacy, professionalism and public support and hopefully protected by what is left of the Law and the Constitution. No delusion, this is against established power and money and retaliation and smear will be in guaranteed. Maybe even the new found Executive powers to conduct surveillance and detain in the name of National Security and the fight against international terrorism (Hi guys). What happens if the “Net” is censored or limited? Crooks and Liars does it’s part to point out the issues and call to action. Maybe we need a general and a chain of command, a “grass roots” sort of thing to unite the body?

to the person who asked if bill'o was advertisign on msnbc. Fox News in general is advertising on msnbc, they do it locally though..... by having local business buy local ad time for cheap.

They then run ads for fox and friends and other shows.

Wait! I can get a pony?

I am going to spend all day at Daily Kos. I asked for a pony every Christmas for five years and did not get shit! No way am I letting this chance get away from me.

"When peaceful revolution become impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable." John F. Kennedy

Between democrats and republicans, Anarachy is starting to look pretty damn good.

Now that his hair's starting to thin out, Billo looks more like his hero-- Popeye!

I think that Billo believed that he was powerful enough to take down Keith O. and NBC. When that plan ended up kicking him in the butt, he needed another target. He took on Dailykos and that, too, will get him kicked in the butt. When that doesn't work he will find another. Was it Franklin that said that a sign of insanity was doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result? I'm just sayin .....

This site is dedicated to fighting FOX News. They are currently sponsoring a campaign to boycott Home Depot for advertising with FOX.

If all else fails, mention ratings.

DailyKos should put a big link on their front page reading, "Violence Against Innocent Peope-Link Here For O'Reilly Visitors". Then link it a barrage of O'Reilly idiotisms (violence wished on San Fran, blaming the boy kidnap victim, etc). Also, they should link in Ann Coulter clips while they are at it.

That is the way I figured it went down as well. I think it is time for a few postings at some of the FauxNews blog sites. Something to the effect that if Hillary wins we should assassinate her. The only problem is that i think Hannity, Coulter or Malkin probably already said it on live TV. Or what about just firing off an email to the sponsors with a freeper thread link?

like the person above said, a nice YouTube vid showing each of the sponsors and the type of ideas they are supporting with their ad dollars.

I concur, nemo. He is desperately trying to hold on to his prime demographic, the 90-110 age bracket - the one demographic left that might never visit a website of any kind, since the culture shock is so strong, or because the internet is a tool of the devil in these end times. He also realizes his career days are numbered, as this audience will continue to shrink. The fifties are over, Bill. Times have changed, and they passed you by.

It is absolutely time we re-instate the "Fairness Doctrine" for the media corporations. The quick and precipitous decline of "journalism" begins on the day that was discontinued.

Very true. A couple of weeks ago there was a FOX campaign to make the phrase "fairness doctrine" a dirty word. I guess they're starting to get worried.

Hey! We have the same last name...must be related:)

I am a lawyer and here's how he avoids getting sued: he has some troll post some crap about violent overthrow, etc. at DailyKos,.............................

Oh, good God. For some reason, it never occurred to me that this is what is happening. But, of course. *sigh*

See Post 21..I have been screaming about this scam for 12 months. It is very obvious that troll posts have been used to attack the site the posts were placed.
I think it was Kevin Drum that named the process of nit picking unmonitored comments as: Nutpicking

BillO gave my dog a venereal disease..and then tried to blackmail poor Fido. There it is in the comments section so it must be a fact!!!!!!!!

Nutpicking...yeah, I like that. Thanks, Richard.

There will always be demagogues like O-Reilly. The people I find repulsive are the gullible fools who swallow his authoritarian big daddy charade.

O'lielly is playing with himself again and drooling about his next sexual stalking.

Faux Noise Lies is slowly going down the tubes and everybody knows it except for the ignorant slugs hired to spew hatred there.

Fox News is a hate group.

[...] lot of breaking news today. You can make a comment below or link a trackback from your own site. RSS feed for comments [...]

BillO needs to be fact checked on that garbage. He makes up quite a lot of stuff.

I just fired off an email to Home Depot...I was just going to buy some wood floors. Not anymore.

I was disappointed to see BMW there. No more BMW's for me. I just sent an email to them to.

What he's doing makes me sick.

The free flow of ideas is important.

Yeah, I actually thought he said "column" at first, but no, he said "posting".
Sneaky, sneaky.
We should all go over to Bill's website and post the transcripts from his phone calls with Andrea Mackris. Oh, wait. They'd be weeded out, of course. So he's bashing Daily Kos for actually granting Fox News trolls an open forum to say what they want. Something Bill would never do for left-wingers on his site.

Bill O'Liely "Facts? Who needs facts? I make this sh*t up as I go."

Um, will somebody contact Larry Flint to get rid of this asshole?

Geez, phone sex freak.

I think Billy is desperate in his ratings and thinks if he can take an advertiser as jet blue from the KOS those viewers will become factor/fiction watchers. Not quite Billy.

So Bill has problems with free speech that he alone must judge and approve. What dictated country does Bill want America to resemble?

Did Bill O send out his reporters to see how Haliburton was ripping off the public financial trust in this War? No, he is to concerned with Bill and Bill's ratings. Bill you are a a unreliable non functioning old relic as Bil Kristol is with his illusions of grandeur........................

We should all go over to Bill’s website and post the transcripts from his phone calls with Andrea Mackris. Oh, wait. They’d be weeded out, of course. So he’s bashing Daily Kos for actually granting Fox News trolls an open forum to say what they want. Something Bill would never do for left-wingers on his site.
The transcripts: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris12.html
I started at the point where Al Franken was threatened. The transcript rapidly devolves from there into a mess of implicit bribery and some of the most overt and frightening sexual harassment I've heard of.

As for a comment section on Billo's site, I have yet to find one. He doesn't make it easy.

Patriot Actor @ 19:

In his humble opinion?

He contains not an ounce of humility.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

He will have a debt to settle one day.....down at the crossroads.

Isn't that where you stake vampires?

getalife @ 116:

Geez, phone sex freak.

Ha-ha...wouldn't it be GREAT if Billo had called the D.C. Madam?

I don't understand. Why don't they just sue the fucker for defamation? Sounds to me like they could, especially if he's fucking with their bottom line. It is america, after all...

Bill has claimed multiple times that the US Army was responsible for the Malmedy massacre, anyone who trusts him to get the facts straight needs ECT.

Why would he? He's got a stable full of interns to sexually harass.

blacklabelbeer @ 80:

to the person who asked if bill'o was advertisign on msnbc. Fox News in general is advertising on msnbc, they do it locally though..... by having local business buy local ad time for cheap.

They then run ads for fox and friends and other shows.

Thank you

That's what I thought! What makes this even funnier is that this is in MA!

billo thinks that anything that happens to go his way, is ALL because he wanted it to and only his voice matters. i wonder how loud he had to yell to get out of bush's colon and pass thru his rectum during the procedure on bush this weekend. i am sure billo was inside bush's ass looking for more news stories. maybe he was trying to find where cheney's hand attaches up the royal rectum when bush is (more or less) conscious.

billo's lips just get browner and browner these days

I've been throwing up violently over the US government. Does that count?

Of course, it's fun thinking of all the wingnut hoo-ha's that are now flying to Daily Kos, expecting to see flame-throwing commies. Instead, they see a well-organized political action website with completely reasonable rules of conduct, and nobody is advocating violence.

Unless it's violently throwing up on the US government. I'd love to see a "Million-Hurl March..." If a million angry protesters vomited into the Washington monument pool, would Cokietown finally notice our displeasure?

Too bad O'Reilly won't admit that it's probably his staff leaving those comments on DKos in the first place. Nothing like planting evidence, then "reporting" on it to a mind-numbingly stupid audience in an attempt to boost one's own ratings.

I sent this to Earthlink just now. Any other customers of theirs here are welcome/encouraged to cut/paste from this letter or send your own.
-------------------
Dear Earthlink,

I don't know if you've heard, but Bill O'Reilly recently cast a smarmy challenge out to his xenophobic faithful, to harass any and all sponsors of any network to the left of Fox News. (!) Condescendingly reminding them that the networks are beholden to the sponsors for their programming dollars.

This reads as a shot across the bow to anyone who holds unbiased, even the PRETENSE of unbiased, journalism as a sanctified and integril part of the Fourth Estate of the United States, and enshrined by the Constitution's 1st Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

O'Reilly seeks to intimidate other networks by going after their sponsors. So in response, the progressive blogosphere thought to acquire a list of Fox News' (and by extension, Bill O'Reilly's) sponsors, to make the point that democracy DOES in fact work both ways.

So imagine my suprise to find my own self-proclaimed-as-progressive internet mail service provider on the list: Earthlink!

I don't expect Mercedes-Benz or Morgan Stanley to make any claims to being a progressive-leaning company, nor do they disappoint, and for such reasons I am a customer of neither.

You however, DO make great efforts toward being branded as a progressive organization to the public. As a result, you have gotten my and many other people's business.

What are you now? What does your brand mean anymore? You claim to be progressive, yet you sponsor Fox News??? That's sickening! That's deeply insulting to any female, African-American, gay, Latino or Democratic employees you may have, to say nothing of your regard for the integrity of journalism. To sponsor Fox News is an embrace of zealotry, and a glaring hypocrisy.

If you made NO SUCH overtures as a progressive organization, you would be regarded as no different than any other ISP out there for conscientious people to choose from, and we would choose a company ACCORDING to our progressive stance. Your actions, however, make you a deceitful hypocrite.

What'll it be, earthlink? Got an explanation for this? The progressive blogosphere would like very much to know, and I intend to tell them.

Sincerely,
(EV)

When Bill showed a picture of Kos he croped the photo of him in his uniform, why?

When will this egomaniacal reactionary get it straight in his thick self aggrandizing skull,
that he has zero credibility with Progressives, and even less with Leftist, and Centrists?
The only people on earth that give him any credence, are the right wing reactionary thugs.
Whom he caters to Carte Blanche. Birds of a feather one might say.

No true Conservative can stomach his over the top, know it all condescension aimed at
anyone to the Left of Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler. And no self respecting American will
give him the time of day.

For him to issue any challenge, to anyone, at this point in history, shows the want of modesty.
But then no intelligent human would ever fault him with character or class to begin with.
Rave on Madman.

Can't this creep O'Reilly just GO AWAY? Haven't we had enough of neocons like him to last a lifetime in the last few years?

Coulter, Hannity, O'Reilly, all of their predictions about everything (especially Iraq) were dead wrong. They were wrong about Bush being a good president, wrong about Iraq, wrong about everything.

Election day 2008 can't get here fast enough for the Dems to take back the White House and gain even more seats in Congress. And we'll never have to the b.s. or these loud mouth neocons again.

Bring back the fairness doctrine. Put right wing radical talk radio and Fox "News" out of business.

Billdo = idiot.

I am more convinced than ever that EVIL is simply trying to eliminate the competition.

DailyKos should put a big link on their front page reading, "Violence Against Innocent Peope-Link Here For O'Reilly Visitors". Then link it a barrage of O'Reilly idiotisms (violence wished on San Fran, blaming the boy kidnap victim, etc). Also, they should link in Ann Coulter clips while they are at it.

That's actually a good idea. You should drop an email or comment over at DKos

Seconded.

For those of you who want to know what all the hate is about at YearlyKos Convention - where Markos will give the closing keynote speech on Saturday evening - you can still get in on the action. No, you can't go to Chicago, that venue is sold out, but, you can attend YearlyKos ONLINE virtually in 3D using the virtual world Second Life.

YearlyKos Convention has built a 3D convention center in Second Life and will stream LIVE VIDEO of the convention to a couple of hundred 3D avatars. The online convention also provides the opportunity to interact with dozens of other netroots activists who are also attending the convention online.

Check out the YearlyKos Convention in Second Life - http://www.yearlykosconvention.org/yksl - its not too late to register!

SPECIAL COMMENT: We will also be providing a LIVE video feed of the Presidential Leadership Forum, a live discussion panel featuring Democratic Presidential candidates and a LIVE video feed of the Ask The Leaders Forum where Congressional leaders (including Nancy Pelosi) will answer questions and discuss the issues up close.

Are we supposed to respond via his 900-Hotline?

OMG!!!! I'm laughing so hard, I can't see straight!!

"Corporations have an obligation not to reward bad behavior. Sometimes consumers have to remind them"

Hey moron Fox Noise viewers....tell that to Arthur Andersen (Now Accenture), Enron, Tyco, WorldCom, PhillipMorris, CitiGroup, Raytheon, Procter & Gamble, ExxonMobil, RoyalDutch Shell, TysonFood, BPAmoco (still dumping waste in National Lakes), etc, etc, etc

Corporations....are a feudalistic entity, period. Its not a fair organization, by any stretch of any imagination. The 'Free market' is bow tie wrapped pretty shiny buzzword for global domination by corporate rule. WAKE THE FU!!!!

Until Corporate Social Responsibility is an inseparable practice by all corporations...they deserve neither 'personal rights as an entity', legal protections from malfeasance by design (profit before consumer safety), or your blindly loyal admiration for 'making the american dream a reality' (on the backs of how many, on the deaths of how many, for what cost to you & future generations?)...

When you have only one choice (a monopoly...goal of 99% of corporations) how can you 'boycott it', how can you seek other suppliers (you can't), how can you fight it legally (you can't)...just sit there, shut up and take whatever you're given by the goodness of the bottom line...see...its a endgame...and if you've bought into it, you're already lost...

yet ann coulter can suggest that bill clinton should be assassinated?
