Drink the Kool-Aid
And whatever His O'liness wants is de natura good. I saw a chat between Janeane Garofalo and Keith Olbermann--now there's a group which will make you chip your teeth grinding them--in which Ms. Gawdawfulo stated that opposing Obama was racist. That's the level of her thinking, and of course Keith was going along with it.
Glen Beck on another Fox show on July 28 referred to Obama as a racist with "a deep-seated hatred for white people." Fox ran screaming from it; Beck did not retreat. There is a group whose name I will not present which exists solely to put pressure on advertisers who advertise on conservative shows, which they deem to be inimical to blacks. So far thirty-three advertisers, including WalMart, CVS and Clorox, have refused to sponsor Glen Beck's Fox show. I went to the WalMart web site last night and told them if they were such cowards I'd find the courage to go to Target. (And in truth, it's a lot quieter there; the aisles are bigger; and it just feels better.)
The commercial fallout from the latest tin-foil-hat utterance of Ms. Gawdawfulo? Nothing that I know of. But let Beck say something.
Recall the flap over Florida Orange Juice and Snapple? They dropped Rush Limbaugh.
Well, perhaps we have the last laugh: the mainstream media is now the legacy media.

Hopefully, in my few postings on these pages I have proven my conservative nature. So, it with much trepidation that I say the following:
The problem that I have with Glenn Beck's comments is that I HATE it when people pull the race card. I would be willing to bet that Beck feels the same way. Yet, here he is doing just that.
Conservatives need to beat back Obama with intelligence, sound arguments, and political savvy. Once you pull out the "You're a racist" comment, it means that you have no argument left. We (as white people) have been saying just that for years. "Don't use race as an excuse", we say. I am going to stick to my guns on this and not use it as an excuse.

He just lowered himself to their level.
Sorry for the double post, I thought the browser times out, so I added a little. Oops.
I was myself uncomfortable with Beck's comment; he ought to have kept his mouth shut even if he had good reason to believe it.
Still, notice the difference in response. With Gawdawfulo and Twitching Keith (sorry, can't help it), it's routine. With Beck and with Rush it's a boycott.
Yet again, a good point, Mr. Theo.
The reaction is completely different. Garafolo has nothing to boycott as she hasn't done much in the last few years, outside of a terrible little part in '24' last season that she was not, unfortunately, killed off from. I refuse to boycott '24'. That's the only TV show out there that is worth watching.
Locally, we should encourage Tejas Shooting Sports, Between the Walls, and Kay Bailey to buy ads during Keith's show just to piss off the local libs. I think it might work.
This young fella has written a well crafted tune.
Perhaps Tim Kreitz and his group might want to add it to their list of songs .
Such an imeprssive answer! You've beaten us all with that!

Poor Theo! Was it your turn to monitor? Waterboarding is a frat prank compared to having to watch O and G........!!!!!!
