LMAO! Good luck, Mullethead!

So is Ann Coulter taking Rosie's place on The View?

Wonder if Home Depot knows that Lowe's already pulled theirs. That's their major competitor and they wouldn't want to be left holding the Fox bag.

damn it, I thought I was Frist...........

I shot an email out to Home Depot last week, and I spend quite a bit of money there......no mas amigos..no mas.

Who are the other advertisers?

The last two links are not "mailto" links...need to be fixed.

Opps, doubled-up on your female angle!

i think most of us are home depot customers, i know i am. the only way to get them to listen is to hit them where it hurts, in the pocketbook. where can we let them know that we will not be shopping there anymore as long as they continue to support hate radio. ron.

With Lowe's dumping O'Liely first, guess Home Depot felt it too must follow
suit since soooooo many of us made a decision to get our hardware, etc.
at Lowe's. Probably hurt Home Depot's business.

Oh snap.

I'm sure Home Dept dropping Bill O'Lielly is cool with him since he's not a hands on kind of guy himself, except in regards to his personal social life.

Our Founding Fathers would have ALL of them in prison by now.

FOX + COULTER + CORRUPT THINK TANKS ON CNN + OTHERS = PROPAGANDISTS AND AGENDA FOR THE CORRUPT GLOBALISTS

BUSH FAMILY ( CIA DARK SIDE ) + CHENEY (BRITISH ASSET) + CORRUPT RNC = CORRUPT GLOBALISTS

Our Founding Fathers would have put Sibel Edmonds on the stand by now.

THE BUSH CHENEY ADMINISTRATION ARE COMMITTING CRIMES, TREASON, FRAUD, OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE, PROFITEERING, ALL WHILE SELLING OUT OUR FAMILIES, DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY, OUR PRECIOUS DOLLAR, OUR JOBS AND OUR CONSTITUTION. THEIR ATTORNEY GENERAL, APPOINTED COURTS, RNC, MASS MEDIA FOX FRAUD, CORRUPT PUNDITS & SPONSORS OF ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS, LIARS AND PROPAGANDA NETWORKS ARE ALL DIRECTLY PARTICIPATING IN OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE AND THE COVER-UP OF GLOBAL CRIMES, PAST AND PRESENT.

Now we go after Walmart!

even when these right wing talk show hosts see which way the wind blows and switch their allegiance, i absolutely do not want them. they have led the fight with middle america following in lock step. and because they see the wind now is blowing the other way, they pull the big switcheroo and denounce the crooks and liars that they have supported and espoused for eight years, we are supposed to welcome them back with open arms? never. let them hand from the public square mussolini style. i know this is a bit off topic but i had to say it. i hate o'reilley, savage, rush, hannity AND COMBS, rick roberts, roger hedgecock, and the myriad of others across the nation for what they have done to our country. they are hate mongers and whores (and that's besmirching the prostitutes) who would have us return to the good ol days of yore when we all knew our place.

Hopefully this snowball will keep rolling.

American Family Association is loathe to boycott Home Depot over their decision, because that's where they go to get the two x fours and other lumber supplies for whuppin' junior.

Bill O'Reilly is just the symptom, the disease is News Corp and Rupert Murdoch. Simply advertising on some other Faux News program and not O'Reilly's program doesn't do anything.

good for home depot, friggin swell. joy.

bill'o is a rightwing, propaganda spewing, shill, but his influence seems to be completely eclipsed in rethug circles by the actual founders of home depot (Bernard Marcus and Ken Langone ). and THAT (at least for me) is what should be boycotted. yes, bill'o is a punk ass bitch (PAB), but in inner GOP circles--where the truly powerful come together to decide how to divvy up america--he is nothing. [of course i have no direct knowledge of this, being a persona non grata, and all, but still...]

if you shop at home depot you are adding revenue to the GOP's piggy bank. if you buy coors beer (joseph coors), or eat domino's pizza (david brandon), or outback steakhouse, or buy a dell computer, etc--its all the same. the owners of these companies are the mega-funders of the neofascist movement. they know where their bread is buttered, the GOP will protect their corporate interests over our civil rights 7 days a week and twice on sunday...

is it feasible to boycott every company that funds the GOP’s drive to totalitarianism? Dunno, but it is fun to try.

a little example of what the people behind the biz are supporting, here's domino's schumck-in-chief:

Rockin good news - Now maybe I'll continue to shop there but my first preference will always be Lowes where the people know there departments shit.

and, we shouldn't deulde ourselves about the motives of the founding fathers, in regards to corruption, collusion, backroom deals, and all around shadiness. the founding fathers, being white/aristocratic/landholders didn't really, completely trust the average citizens opinion--hence we are a republic, a representative democracy, not a true democracy.

and those founding fathers? well, as per chalres beard's amazing look into the economic background of the constitution, he points out that 5/6's of the delegates were "to a greater or less extent, economic beneficiaries from the adoption of the Constitution"... this was not a coincidence.

I'm not buying anything from anybody who advertises with FOX, regardless the program in which their ads run.

somebody that knows the ceo of home despot needs to get him to watch my videos! HIs entire family should watch too - because these videos would remove their "Rose Colored Glasses"

Perhaps Home Depot is doing “run of network” ads that appear across the FOX networks, with FOX choosing which shows the ads run on. A lot of companies like to use this kind of advertising to claim that they don’t advertise on particular shows - it’s a smoke screen and a lie.

Really... I don't think it's a lie or cover-up. For one thing, a corporation as large as Home Depot is bound to have a lot of internal red-tape, and its likely that a lot of the decision makers don't know what the fuck is going on with half of their PR campaign due to bureaucracy. Second of all, a large corporation like HD which likes to keep their image in the public conscience and has a crap load of money to spend on TV advertising is very likely buy a run of several networks, and let the network drop the ads wherever they feel like it... we're not talking about some dot-com startup blowing money on ads for one event, like the Superbowl, or some local business that can only advertise once a day.

Being that HD is a huge multinational, it is extremely unlikely that they specifically wanted to advertise during BillO, or were even conscious that they were doing so.

i don't understand why afa would protest home depot, borally said so himself, associating yourself with hater, such malkin and mannclouter isn't a good idea, and that viewer will not forget. have the afa forgetten all the hate spread by faux opinion networks?

They are still big Republican supporters...Look into their contributions last election...
I would never shop at Home Depot...Don't let this fool anyone.

. Keep a running log. It will get back to them that FOX and O’Shithead are hate mongers and liars and sick mother fuckers. Do not discount the power of the blogs. You know that, but be sure to tell your friends and relatives and granny and gramps and neighbors to just do not use their products.

. Even going to another store besides Home Depot once with all these people will open their eyes.

They can be told and they are being told! Every penny counts to these mega corps. If 1,000,000 shop somewhere else once or 500,000 do it twice they will notice. Believe me. They look at the register analyzer every which way and they will be able to tell. Especially when they are told it is happening and their shareholders know about it. Ma and Pa Kettle will let them know. Joe Sixpack and Betty Winebox will be loud and clear!!

Home Depot dumped him? They should have dropped a pallet of plywood on that shit-for-brains head of his.

I wrote HomeDepot and received this in response:
Dear Robert,

Thank you for contacting The Home Depot Customer Care.

We appreciate you taking the time to forward your concerns regarding The
Home Depot's sponsorship of Bill O' Reilly's show on FOX.

The Home Depot has a strong passion for being environmentally
responsible both in the Company's operating principles and in
responsible retailing through our industry-leading Eco Options
initiative, a program that allows customers to easily identify products
that have less of an impact on the environment and empowers them to help
make a difference in their own homes. We have led many initiatives with
interest groups to develop standards and set environmental goals for
ourselves and suppliers. Some of these at great expense and sweat equity
to the company.

Our advertising campaigns have one simple objective to communicate with
audiences in the most effective way possible. The Company is receptive
to many forms and styles of media as we seek a balanced representation
of programming to reach our customer base. Unfortunately campaigns like
this one cause us to take time away from our sustainability goals and
address a variance of political views.

Sincerely,

Vijay
Customer Care.

The last sentence really ticked me off Unfortunately campaigns like
this one cause us to take time away from our sustainability goals and
address a variance of political views.".

In response I wrote ," So sorry to waste your time since you have done such a fine job of reaching your sustainability goals (whatever those are) while addressing a variance of political views ( to the point of sustaining right wing hate mongers as Bill O'Reilly).
P.S. Let corporate know their message is coming through loud and clear. I'm sending back my credit card (a previous ten year card holder).

BTW I'm in construction and DID use HomeDepot quite often. If they drop BrilloPad then I'll re-consider.

but they did seem genuinely concerned....but I could be wrong...lets see if we hear anymore Lush trying to sell GM products.........

Uh, folks, we're in biiggg trouble. The American Family Association is on Orally's side, threatening to counter the boycott. You know them, the selfsame group which caused Ford to go out of business for advertising in gay magazines...

Have they also stopped selling falafels?

Bill O’Reilly takes aim at San Francisco: Fox host reportedly said it was OK for terrorists to target the city
MSNBC; Updated: 1:08 a.m. ET Nov 17, 2005
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10004302/
Does Bill O’Reilly have it in for the city by the bay?
San Franciscans have been in an uproar this week over apparent comments by the host of Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” that it was A-OK for terrorists to wipe the city off the map. At issue are comments from O’Reilly’s Election Day broadcast on his syndicated Westwood One radio show about a San Francisco ballot measure opposing the presence of military recruiters in city schools.
“Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you’re not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead,” O’Reilly said, according to a transcript and audio posted by liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America, and by the San Francisco Chronicle.
“And if al-Qaida comes in here and blows you up, we’re not going to do anything about it. We’re going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead,” O’Reilly continued, referring to the 1933 San Francisco landmark that sits atop Telegraph Hill.
Adding to the buzz was the archived version of O’Reilly’s Tuesday show, which omitted the incendiary comments, according to Bay Area TV station KNTV. City officials were not amused. “It sounds like he’s on the same medication Rush Limbaugh is addicted to, and he should go see a therapist,” Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin, whose district includes the tower, told the Chronicle. Neither O’Reilly nor Fox News have yet commented on the dust-up.

Bill O’Reilly wants terrorists to bomb Coit Tower because we’re a bunch of sissies. Whose side are you on?
By Matt Palmquist; SF Weekly
Published: November 23, 2005

On his radio show last Monday, infamous conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly lambasted San Francisco for voting against military recruitment in its schools, and welcomed terrorists to annihilate one of the city’s most beloved landmarks, Coit Tower, a monument to firefighters. Said O’Reilly: “You know, if I’m the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, ‘Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you’re not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead. And if al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we’re not going to do anything about it. We’re going to say, “Look, every other place in America is off limits to you except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.”‘” His comments set off a firestorm, but he has refused to back down, defending the tirade as “satirical.” Are you an apologist for Bill O’Reilly? Take our quiz and find out!

Well, in my opinion after looking at these arricles and what O'Reilly said, he should be on trial for "terrorism" according to the Patriot Act which he so violated. I think Americans should still be more outraged to this day that he said such violent and inhumane things one could ever say about their fellows, other than the act itself. No sane person would say such things and does America want this insanity broadcast over its public airwaves. I was aghast when he said this and nothing was done by the FCC to this day. Something should be done to O'Reilly for his threatening and violent speech against San Francisco in 2005. It is unacceptable social behavior. To this day, one Mr. Bill O’Reilly should have faced a criminal indictment based on asking terrorists to bomb an American city.

I cannot believe there was not more outrage to this day over O’Reilly’s violent threats towards San Francisco. O’Reilly’s advertisers must be asked if they approve of a man who requests al-Qaeda to bomb America at all, let alone San Francisco. O’Reilly’s tirade no matter what spin he puts on it is inexcusable of a man allowed to say such things on public airwaves on the radio. Does O’Reilly know that Bechtel Corporation is located in San Francisco and its a huge area of the military-industrial complex? O’Reilly is a thug and not too intelligent.

Publicly using the public airwaves to make threats which O’Reilly does over and over again should not be tolerated in American society. It is time to call O’Reilly on his death threats to both the people of San Francisco and the firemen in that fine city, and Americans at-large. O’Reilly’s calls for al-Qaeda to bomb San Francisco are crimes according to the language of the Patriot Act. Although I oppose the Patriot Act, Bill O’Reilly supports it, so he should be prosecuted under it for which he has violated. O'Reilly should at least be given a trial for giving aid and comfort to al-Qaeda. At least on that day, O'Reilly was inciting al-Qaeda to attack the United States and I do not care whether he "likes or dislikes" San Francisco. The fact of the matter is that O'Reilly was inciting terrorists to attack an American city.

During the made up "War on Christmas" O'Reilly's show had Home Depot as a sponsor with ads singing "Home for the Holidays" with no mention at all of Christmas. Bill never said a thing about Home Depot destroying Christmas. I guess if they sponsor's Bill Show, they aren't gonna get any bad words from O'Reilly.

This is what I wrote all of them:

Gentlemen and Madam,

It has come to my attention that Home Depot is trying to distance ourselves from the reprehensible antics of commentator Bill O’Reilly. It seems to me as a long time shareholder in this company, that we have become the leading home hardware company in this country by appealing to all customers. Advertising our product shouldn’t create negative publicity for the company. That is money wasted, and customers lost.

I hope you all agree that the best approach the company can take to get out of the political quagmire of Fox News is to discontinue advertising on the network. The shareholders of this company don’t want to compromise the good name of Home Depot with the political mud slinging that goes on at Fox News. We have invested our money and time in the growth of this company; we will not pay to have it threatened by associating with Fox.

Thank you for your time.

Respectfully yours,

No need to get long haired, freaky or snippy about it. Put it plainly that associating with Fox = wasted advertising dollars. Supporting political news networks = possible boycott. There is nothing positive about giving your advertising dollars to Fox, unless you sell Geritol or coffins.

How do you dump a network who never advertised on your network? (...crickets..)

Beard, Charles A. An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States

The fact that we are a representative democracy rather than a 'true democracy' as you call is the only reason C&L and it's entire user base hasn't been rounded up and sent off to a Haliburton built prison for inciting insurrection.

Face it, the fact that the Democrats, Republicans, Independents and Joe Liebermanns are constantly in competition with each other is the only thing that has kept this nation going. If it were not the case, and we didn't have a Constitution to back us up as it were, our nation would have been transformed on 9/12 into a authoritarian dictatorship that would have made Hitler blush. Because all those scared little citizens hiding under their beds and buying duct tape would have voted to surrender whatever rights they would have had under that system in order to be 'safe'.

Hell, even with a Bill of Rights, a Constitution that defines the government and three co-equal competing branches of government we're almost there as it stands. I'd hate to think how it would have went if the 51 million people who voted for Bush because of the war he started were able to determine what rights I had by popular vote.

Our system has flaws. But by and large it's pretty decent. It just stopped evolving with the times. Unfortunately evil lying assholes ( aka: Politicians ) have had 230 years of practice manipulating the system. Additionally the American people are largely lazy, uneducated and unconcerned with the workings of power where they believe it does not directly effect them. These things have combined catastrophically over the last seven years.

The founders realized on some level that this could happen which is why they chose the particular form of government they chose. Sure they weren't all the idealists their reputations have suggested of them but I doubt we could come up with a better system today.

Our mainstream media doesn't have a political agenda, but rather is driven by a profit motive like any other business. By and large, our MSM is moderate, because they've tailored their content to what interests the vast majority of Americans, who are moderates. It's quite ironic that both the far left/right are impugning the MSM for having some nefarious political agenda, when in fact it's the hateful, intolerant rhetoric coming from the fringes which is stirring up divisiveness in America. Furthermore, Fox is about as much on the far right as the NY Times is on the far left. Don't be misled by radio talk show hosts, pundits and bloggers who aren't above manufacturing some outrage when they're a little short on material.
