DUers: Boycott tonight's Hardball

Tweety's featured guest tonight is the bile spewing, right-wing hater monger Ann Coulter. I think it is time for we liberals to send a message to the networks that we will not support them if they continue to put Ann Coulter on the air. They will continue to take us for granted unless we start hitting them in the pocketbook.

Instead of watching Hardball turn to another news channel for the hour. Maybe MSNBC will get the message.

Already.

... it registers. Advertisers know it when the consumers don't watch their ads.

How? Does it phone home with that data? I know that it does not send it back up to the satellite with that tiny dish.

Makes me glad I do not have satellite.

I know they keep track of Teevo.

I called once to cancel a premium channel and the rep said "Yes, I can see you only watched that station once last month."

*shadow government*

Because I know our analog cable sans any cable box cannot report back.

Not that there is anything to report.

"Ben watches the Weather Channel for 15 minutes almost every morning, and watches CNN when there is a space shuttle launch."

Because that is the sum total of my TV watching.

Tweety makes me nauseous, all by himself. The combination of Tweety and AnnThrax would be enough to give me convulsions. I'm sure there will be those who just *have* to watch, like when you can't help staring at a horrible car wreck, but I'm feeling pretty good right now and I don't want to ruin a pleasant afternoon.

I hate all cable news though... I'm hoping the biased-talking-head-news shows are a fad that will disappear one day. Much like the prime-time game-show fad of several years ago. :-)

that might be worth tuning in for.

That would be pretty sweet though.

How does one get man-boobs like those? Just... yikes.

I have more contempt for him as a DINO than I do Ann Coulter who is at least is honest about being a fascist bitch. Tweety says he's a Democrat all while all along he has his head is stuck way up the ass of the GOP.

Malkin?

then, again, he let that horrid creature Michele Morgan off with nary a touch

I hope somebody has the stomach to fill us in

They were a long time ago.

We should not give her any free advertising. I'm not interested in reading what she writes just for shock value, which is all her garbage is worth. She substitutes invective for rational argumetn and can't develop a theme to save her life. She isn't a journalist, she isn't a writer and she isn't even very good eye candy. She's totally worthless.

I never watch any cable news. When I want to hear uninformed people yell at each other, I have dinner at my grandmother's.

Maybe if I started watching cable news, they would get better guests.

Apparently she was supposed to be the draw at a Colorado politician's fundraiser, and nobody showed up. Hee, hee, hee.

But Tweety won't dare ask Little Arfin' Annie about this, or about the plagiarism, or about the inflated numbers showing the bulk sales of rotten little book. I will bet a shiny nickel.

if he's anything like I suspect, he'll feel forced to broach the subject, merely out of professional jealousy...he won't want to be compared by his fellow kool kids in a negative light to the likes of a lightweight like Deutsch

least, I hope he sees it that way

with him, though, you never, ever can tell

The only thing I watch on that channel is KO.

If you're lucky, maybe only one DU'er reading this thread will actually have a nielson's rating box so at your luckiest MSNBC would only notice one viewer missing. I have a feeling though you may not even be that lucky, and MSNBC won't notice ANYONE missing.

Sorry, but that's reality.

... or Teevo. They count up those numbers also.

The advertisers and networks go by the nielson numbers, period. They may peek at DVR numbers here and there, but the ones that matter, especially in a plight such as this, is the nielson ratings. And unless ya got a box, this is useless.

Now there's a disturbing duo.

only way I'd watch

A blow-up doll getting it on with a giant stick insect.

allowable.....

I'm afraid I may dream about that tonight....where's the opium?

don't tell anybody I put it all here:

Bubbly,

I am happy to be able to shed a little light on Ann the Counter.

Ann is proof positive that aliens exist. On Ann's home planet the intelligent life form is more akin to Earth’s Arthropoda phylum life forms than Hominoidea which our human egocentric view of advanced life demands. If you ask any competent scientist they will tell you that the overwhelming probability of alien species is Arthropoid in nature.

The scientists on Ann home planet, which by the way is just 30,000 light years from our sun and for a very advanced (by our standards) life form, and not that long a trip. Ann’s planet is in a solar system, also a relatively new star, like ours, with 13 planets with only the one exhibiting advanced life.

We, at the defense Department Office of Interstellar Space Intelligence have heretofore not been willing to speak publicly about Ann and her visit to Earth. Ann, in spite of appearances to the contrary, is a scientist on a mission to achieve some understanding as to why, in our human myths, what we call insects are not perceived to be the superior life forms they are in most of the Universe and is actually quite benign.

Republicans have been Ann's primary human supporters, but for a mistaken reason. Republicans assume that Ann’s attitude toward human life applies only to Republican detractors. Actually, Ann’s species views life as accidental, and Hominid life forms, such as ours, a Galactic mistake. So the republican assumption that Ann holds liberals in contempt is in error. Ann, in her normal non-human form would happily consume any Republican for a light lunch were she not restricted by her species and her mission to scientific observation only.

So, take what Ann writes and says with a grain of salt, as it were. In her normal form, more like our praying mantis, she would gobble up Tom DeLay in a heartbeat.

We do admit that when her scientists created her human form they gave her some decent looking legs even if her face is more insect-like.

Glad I could help.

What a hell of a show!

:eyes:

your mental health...

It's her, I guess.

They will keep on until they even gag the freepers!

Your boycott matters about as much as a speck of dust on my hardwood floor.

:beer:

We need to tell them that we won't be supporting their companies as long as they support her hate.

"Liberals like to punish their friends and help their enemies"

this in non-sequitur response to question on Lebanon-Isreal

Norah tees up a question on the coffin ad:

''one step above terrorists showing pics of hanging bodies"

'forgot' to mention the 911 effect

did Norah comment on that?

what do you think

coulter slandered dems on both fronts, while claiming ignorance of BUSH's flag ad, and refusing to comment on specifics about the ME.

if she's on for those reasons, and NOT to discuss her sleazy book, WHY have her on at all, if she's so unprepared?

now, this is good: Valerie Wilson

amazing that they have only HER to comment on this
