"What a bully and a punk. Trying to silence someone who doesn't worship the same false religion."

Bad form, I agree -- it reminds me of the right wing's boycott of the Ditzy Chicks

What do you think of this boycott, Lee?

The answer is really simple. People who watch Fox News just need to boycott any business that pulls it's ads.

Knowing the Democrats won't show their faces on Fox News is great. Fox can publicly invite them and hold many debates in the run up to the general election. If the Democrat's candidate doesn't show up the Republican's candidate can spend an hour or so answering softball questions. The key is that the Democrat has to be publicly invited; even challenged.

Again, the liberals bring a knife to a gunfight. Businesses will advertise of the shows with the most viewers. Period. They do not advertise on Fox because they agree with them. They could care less. Can the liberals be more stupid? Eh...yeah. ww

lee won't answer that Les.

Just shows what a pathetic miserable existence the average libtard leads.

And I love this one:

Some of videos produced by Gilliam's company compile statements made by Fox anchors and guests that the activists consider misleading, such as those that question global warming.

Once again, if you don't agree with them, you have to keep your mouth shut. That's the open-minded liberal way..."Don't question global warming at all...it's true!"

Best defense is a good offense, let the Fox advertisers know you will take your business elsewhere if they pull their ads in response to attempted blackmail from the lefties.

I would be proud not to have ANY member of MoveOn or Kos buy my product or use my services.

.. if Fox doesn't pull the plug on the endless parade of "divas gone bad" coverage, I may boycott them, myself.

Oh, and they need to show Gerlado the door.

As for the the topic of this discussion, it is kinda' cute to watch a bunch of socialists try to use capitalism as a weapon. Kinda' reminds me why I never let babies play with loaded pistols.

First of all Mac, FOX is the one network that I have not seen anchors throwing softballs on a regular basis. The funny thing in this matter is that "liberals", "progressives", or what ever the title of the day is, all comes down to the fact that they are nothing but leftist socialists. The true meaning of the word liberal is a far cry from what the Moron.org, Democratic Underground, and Kos crowd really believe.

Yes it IS simple, US vs THEM.
Libs want to cry and whine for a boycott, all we do is send the message of what will happen in response.

Let the majority rule.....................

Sometimes the squeaky wheel doesn't get the grease, it gets smashed and thrown away!!!!

Les quoted me me on Paul's thread re: efforts to pressure Global Warming skeptic Marlo Lewis to suppress his opinion:

Les then said: "What do you think of this boycott, Lee?"

I don't think individuals should be pressured just because they express an opinion or exercise their right to free speech - and that position is obviously something with which Lorie Byrd and the right wing bloggers here on Wizbang disagree.

I've even gone so far as to say the left should not boycott Ann Coulters' books, speeches, etc. People are entitled to express their opinion in this country, and economic boycotts against individuals in an effort to suppress free speech is something I'm against. Coulter is free to say and write her opinion, and Americans should be free to read her books.

However, as I said regarding Coulter, it's perfectly okay in my book to boycott and pressure the corporations who profit from hate speech, etc. Corporations are not citizens and don't have free speech rights.

So I think a boycott of Fox News advertisers is fine, and I think a boycott of Daily Kos advertisers is fine too. I think boycotts of the Ditzy Chicks and Ann Coulter, etc are not okay.

btw - read this comment quickly - because Jay has been deleting every comment I make on Wizbang since about two weeks ago - and unless he's busy fondling his duck he'll delete this one too.

Lee, again, you make no sense. Your world is very different then the one most americans live in. ww

Lee, what is the difference between boycotting a corporation and boycotting a person or group?

I can't wait to hear your whacked-out lefty spin on that one.

People have free speech rights in this country. Corporations do not.

It's that wacked-out left-spin Constitution talking, CCG - you know the document that you bushbots think is just a meaningless piece of paper.

I'm sure you can cite a legal precedent for that, Lee.

Please do so now.

And if you think I am a Bush-ite, you're stupider than you appear... and that's scary.

I am on record as opposing his amnesty fiasco, I opposed Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court, I think it took him far too long to find a good strategy for Iraq, I opposed the Medicare drug program, I opposed No Child Left Behind... shall I continue?

Just because I don't froth at the mouth and ascribe hurricanes to Dubya, doesn't mean I worship the ground he walks on.

I'm sure your BDS-infected brain won't see the difference, tho.

"I'm sure you can cite a legal precedent for that, Lee. Please do so now."

Only because you said please...

The Nike decision -- it determined that Corporations don't have human free-speech rights. Instead it's considered "commercial speech" and falls into the same category as advertising.

As to your "bush-botedness" I understand you break into tears easily, CCG, so I'll save that discussion for another day.

C-C-G:

I'm sure you can cite a legal precedent for that, Lee.
Please do so now.

The real question is where the distinction between an lies. The fool is rationalizing his position. I'd even wager that the 'Dixie Chicks' are structured as a corporate entity.

As usual, the liberal tactic boils down to nothing more than, "If you disagree with me, you must be silenced." That way, when no one speaks out against the latest drivel the liberals have to say, they are obviously right! Proof-by-lack-of-opposition, or something. Of course, if majority ruled science, we would still be living on a flat planet in a geocentric solar system...

The amusing thing is that it took the little liberals this long to realize they could try and use economic leverage to try and accomplish their pathetically nefarious plans - I guess that kind of thought would not naturally occur to a born-and-bred socialist. The only unfortunate thing is that DailyKos alone has thousands upon thousands of hate-filled, vitriolic-spewing, mindless automatons more than willing to follow just about anyone's bidding, so long as it involves trashing Bush, Fox News, conservatives, or anyone who disagrees with them. Of course, if their letters to the companies are as coherent as their posts to their all-important webpage, I doubt anyone will pay them the slightest bit of heed.

Mr. Shields is exactly on the mark - any company will advertise where they believe they will get the greatest exposure for their money. And considering that FoxNews is one of the most popular channels out there (if not the most, but I will not delve into statistics), they would have to lose more than a few screws to withdraw their advertisements on the irrational and disjointed complaining of a few malcontents.

I guess the worst thing is just how many people in this country define themselves solely by their hate of other people, specifically those who would dare disagree with them. What a sad, pathetic existence...

As to your "bush-botedness" I understand you break into tears easily, CCG, so I'll save that discussion for another day.

In other words, "I can't prove that you're a Bush-bot because you disagree with him, so rather than admit that I am wrong, I'll toss in an ad hominem attack and hope that you let me get away with it."

Not a f---ing chance, Lee. I can take it. Let's roll.

Lee is a pot smoking liberal. Pot smoking (even the weekend variety) has been proven to lead to paranoia and insanity. Watch how you talk to him or he'll resort to violence instead of whining, he now has the insanity defense.

Lee, what the HELL are corporations composed of if not PEOPLE?!

Ergo, the PEOPLE in corporations have free speech as well

I just noticed I forgot to close the blockquote tag.

I am sure it won't cause any person of reasonable intelligence any trouble figuring out what I intended to say, tho.

"I can take it. Let's roll."

No, you can't. BryanD explained it here.

By the way, BryanD isn't banned at Wizbag Blue, so you're welcome to come over there any time you feel brave.

After all - 'you can take it', right? lol! Here you are commenting on the subject of free speech and you hide behind Jay Tea's heavy-handed hammer to protect your from BryanD's opinions.

You should explain to Jay that BryanD shoudn't be banned -- now THAT would show that you can take it, CCG - but you won't... you're a puss.

Leeward, you deliberately avoided the question.

Let's try again. Prove that I am a Bush-bot, or retract the statement and apologize.

No more bringing in red herrings, please. They stink up the place.

"Again, the liberals bring a knife to a gunfight. Businesses will advertise of the shows with the most viewers. Period. They do not advertise on Fox because they agree with them."

Lowe's apparently has pulled ads. They don't want to be associated with hate speech.

Lee you are full of so much shit it's a wonder you don't moo.

So, great, I'd welcome the Democrats nabbing the main irritants on FOX here in CA: (1.) Cox Communications (DNC donor); HEAD-ON (which annoys everyone more than the Cox self-promotions do; (3.) e-harmony.com (also highly annoying to nearly everyone; and, (4.) Lunesta and some prostate-shrinking medication (leave-the-room ad spots).

Great, problem solved for me as to having to hit MUTE infinite times every hour in every day just to get a tad of peace.

The Democrats always seem to wage these "let's get 'em" campaigns that end up gettin' the Democrats and their donors.

Fine by me.

Hate speach? Jp you are retard. It's you and your party of traitors that cry like babies spewing hate speach. Don't you hear yourselves?

Lee you are full of so much shit it's a wonder you don't moo.

He does. Every time he posts I get "deja moo"--the feeling I've heard this bullshit before.

Words to live by, well said, well said, indeed.

I have no idea what Geraldo is doing taking up space on FOX but I don't know one viewer who even remotely enjoys seeing/hearing him.

The other one that FOX has recently been smitten with -- to their detriment -- is Harvey Levin as to his TMZ site. It's such trash, such swamp water, I can't understand why he (nor Geraldo) are on FOX.

But I wish FOX would stop it with this courting of Liberals. The nonstop coverage of "bad blond drunk girls," Levin's gossip and Geraldo's patent falsehoods (so many I can't summarize them here easily but they're all as to illegal aliens, umm, HISPANIC illegal aliens) is such a turn-off. I can't imagine who enjoys or even listens to this.

And I'm a FOX viewer (love Hannity and O'Reilly, especially).

Hey wee wee we would come over to bluie but if we say BOO you ban us. lol As to byranDirtbag who want to talk to the guy that belives that steel does not melt and Area 51 still has the alien and his spaceship. We need a good laugh every now and then so how about you posting one of his comments over at kiddie site so we can read it. Sorry I forgot that you are covered up with comments to your threads and don't have time. Never mine then.

Actually, if bD wants to talk to me, he's not been banned on my blog. He can still read comments here, I think, just not post, so he can get the link to my blog. And if he can't read the comments, Leeward can give him the URL.

Leave it to leftists bully boys like MOVEON to want to stiffle the one bit of truth in the news SCREW MOVE ON
