Kind of like people standing around the scene of an accident s\to see if they can see any blood. I don't know WHY human beings do this, but they DO...<br /><br />And we need to go after advertisers, not necessarily because we disagree with the views expressed by these idiots, but because we want to discourage this sort of programming altogether. It ISN'T constructive, it DOESN'T do anyting to solve the nations's problems, it DOESN'T promote the kind of behavior we would like to see from our neighbors or would like our children to learn. So why are we subsidizing it?<br /><br />I can't watch enough tv to get the names of those advertisers (but you can bet there are a ****load of drug companies on the list...) But if you get me the list, I'll ad my "vote" to the pool...Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6403384531250069062.post-63186538828331604152009-09-16T19:13:58.530-07:002009-09-16T19:13:58.530-07:00Bit of an update.

I sent the e mail before Sojourners posted info that they're trying to get advertisors names. <br /><br />One nice thnig about TV. You don't have to listen, just engage the mute button, keep half an eye out for commercials and write down names. I'd have a hard time listening too. <br /><br />Update, update. Advertisors have pulled their stuff from Glenn Beck but there are claims that his audience is up. Although how long he'll last with no ad support is up for grabs. <br /><br />And everybody be sure to have their houses in order, they'll go after us too.JACKIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883028058826030899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6403384531250069062.post-36063261214545084432009-09-16T18:49:26.262-07:002009-09-16T18:49:26.262-07:00Hi Jackie, I don't think I can actually bring ...Hi Jackie, I don't think I can actually bring myself to watch Fox News or to listen to Hannity or Limbaugh on the radio but if you post the advertisers here, I'd be more than happy to join a boycott. I'm beyond disgusted with the inflammatory, often racist rhetoric that is spewed by these people as I imagine many people are. <br />StacyStacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02521504653710527863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6403384531250069062.post-76453263840790375412009-09-16T17:15:05.948-07:002009-09-16T17:15:05.948-07:00Right On!oh, Write on!Right On!oh, Write on!Dannellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06639710965918070214noreply@blogger.com
