Anyone thinks it would be smart strategy to turn the tables on Obama crowd-Glenn Beck ad boycott drama by requesting advertizers on Hannity show to stop sponsoring that neocon propaganda program?
Would this help or could have any negative effects as far as message of liberty goes?
Second, where does one find list of all advertizers of a TV show?
Those who support such boycotts are just showing others they disregard the 1st amendment.Quote:

I think you're very mistaken in your undersatnding of the Constitutional rights and freedoms.
I'll fight to the death to defend your right to say it, but I'll not spend my money with those who help you broadcast and propagandize it. What's so unethical about that position?Quote:

If you're going to boycott anyone, boycott any other prick on MSNBC. Guys like Hannity at least believe in some freedom. MSNBC hosts want to completely corporatize America and have no problem backing wars as long as they're by Democratic Presidents and Congresses.
If you are not part of the solution your part of the problem, hannity is not the problem, if anything the man is part of the solution, I have to wonder if this party is more of a problem than solution given the hostility towards those in the fight for freedom and liberty. Good grief.
I am asking you to search yourselves...
Hannity supports both wars, the patriot act, and torture. Does that sound like a friend of liberty?
I won't be buying anything with the G.E. symbol, and would be very happy to see a list of everyone who sponsors anything but anything on NBC, msnbc, and cnbc (except, perhaps, 30Rock).Quote:

We could boycott Chris "Obama gives me shivers" Mathews or Olberman but does any one really watch the other discredited Israeli lobby mouth piece anymore?Quote:

If you are planning a boycott is should be against the hard core fascists at MSNBC like Olbermann, Maddow, Mathews, etc.
Sure Hannity did a number on us and is a Neocon but at least for domestic tax policy he is on our side. Whereas with those bastards at MSNBC they are the enemy on all sides. A boycott against Hannity would be a huge mistake and further hurt our movement. We already have MSNBC very vocally against us but Hannity has been been giving us positive press in regards to the tea parties. We do not need him turning on us with a boycott.
There would be no harm done going after the MSNBC hosts since they trash us regularly.
How would that turn the tables at all? The Obama sheep hate Hannity too. And now that Bush is out of office Hannity has no power at all. What he says doesn't matter, so a boycott seems worthless. If you want to boycott someone boycott MSNBC. That is the government's propaganda channel.Quote:

But we would also need to have alternative indendent media ready or this void will be filled with more crooks of the same type. There is plenty Hannitys, Mathews, Olbermann, Becks waiting to take their place probably.

Why not just boycott all the puppets and tools in the mainstream media, meaning all of them?
Are you being serious? I can't imagine that you are being serious, but with this forum, who knows...Quote:

Heres Hannity laughing

What does this have to do with the 1st amendment? Private citizens have a right to purchase whatever they want.Quote:

Everthing I ever see from "Liberty" Star suggests he's some sort of dailykos mole or something.

Is there some law that socies, commies and neocons all can't be boycotted at the same time? LOL Let's have GOP crowd boycott MSNBC and Obama crowd boycott Fox. Once I get lists of their advertizers, will email to GOP and Obama crowds respectively.Quote:

Why don't we just throw hannity onto your list? We can't seriously call him a friend of liberty or the Constitution and if you told me that I would break out into a laugh.Quote:
