Has it been posted that sfexpat2000 made SF Chronicle today?

[TomInTib]

about her offer to send O'Lielly the SF phonebook.

Leah Garchick's column.

Way to go Elizabeth.

Oh yeah, Democraticunderground.com was published in the column as well.

If this is a dupe well, too bad. I just had to post this.

[Coexist]

:toast: to SFEXPAT!!!

[babylonsister]

5. Here's the snippet:

It's not only "the Coit Tower'' that finds itself mentioned as a target in the 21st century's version of Nixon's enemies list. Susie Buell, home after traveling, was moved to send a note to Fox's Bill O'Reilly. In speaking about Media Matters, a progressive watchdog group she's helped start, O'Reilly referred to "Susan Buell'' as a "left coast left-wing nut in San Francisco.'' "I told him I was very honored to be on his list,'' says Buell, "and to be mentioned as an enemy, but he should get his facts right. I've never been Susan.''

Elizabeth *******, who orchestrated a "no air for O'Reilly'' campaign on DemocraticUnderground.com, says O'Reilly threatened to publish organizers' names on his Web site. "Well, if he wants a list, I figured I need to mail him a San Francisco phonebook to make sure no one gets left out.''

Edit to add:

Great job! Because of you, "No Air For O'Reilly" and DU got out there! :toast:

[ray of light]

7. Great job!

[EFerrari]

19. Yes! And if we comb for outlets, we can find them.

If I can, ANYONE can.

DU! :toast:

[OzarkDem]

38. Way to go!

You should be proud to get O'Leilly's feathers ruffled.

[EFerrari]

43. We did that. I could never do it alone.

We did that, OzarkDem. Great to talk to you. :)

[Stephanie]

60. awesome!

that's just excellent sfexpat!

[EFerrari]

66. What? I'm supposed to sit here until things get better?

10. She's in good company at the SF Chron - Robert Scheer is now a full-time

columnist there after he was fired for telling too much truth too well at the LA Times:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1929592
thread title (11/16 LBN): Columnist Robert Scheer Finds New Home at 'SF Chronicle'

[EFerrari]

18. He's got friends on the ed board at the Chron. aka, a wife.

The Chron is a liberal paper fending off right wing management.

Say a prayer for them!

[IndyOp]

101. I am praying for the Chron - RIGHT NOW ! !

O8)

I am so glad to hear that Scheer quickly found a new home!

Dear SF Chron: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[EFerrari]

102. Me, too! We need to take back the Times!

Next week?

:)

[im10ashus]

113. Good work sfexpat2000!

We got your back. I will send O'Leilly a Manhattan phone book. No need to send me any money. I will do it for the cause. :-)

:yourock:

[EFerrari]

117. Manhattan. Boy, that will hurt.

Thank you!

:toast:

[im10ashus]

122. It needs to be done.

He's such an asshat! :toast:

[wryter2000]

105. I've been tempted to cancel my subscription

They've so screwed up my delivery. When I heard that Scheer had gone there, I knew I had to keep my subscription.

[EFerrari]

125. (rereading thread, postgame show) They are REALLY

struggling.

My column proposal has been on hold for months.

They led the charge against Kevin Shelley, though, and as far as I can tell, have never published the fact he was COMPLETELY EXONERATED.

So, as usual, a mixed bag.

[Amaryllis]

11. You have a link to the piece in the Chronicle?

A little success is a nice thing, no?

Have you mailed your phone book yet?

:evilgrin:

We really can do this, ya know?

[bleever]

24. MY name is Beth Ferrari!

Can we mail him phonebooks Collect Postage?



:)

[EFerrari]

28. ouch

:rofl:

(wait)

No, but the "bound" usps rate is really cheap.

My mailing cost under $5.

[bleever]

30. I'll send him the east bay book, and all the extra Yellow Pages books

so he can tell his listeners which carpet-cleaning companies to not bother calling.


:)

[EFerrari]

32. omigod

:rofl:

bleever, I believe.

It does all count! Even the carpet cleaning guys.

Thank something that bleever is on our side!

[Hissyspit]

100. MY name is Beth Ferrari!

They ripped that off for Kevin Kline in "In and Out," too. (Ithink that was the title, the Frank Oz movie.)

[EFerrari]

103. LOL!

I know which one you mean but my brain won't give me the title. Maybe I'm having an identity crisis. :silly:

[wryter2000]

108. Will the real Beth Ferrari please stand up? n/t

n/t

[wryter2000]

107. I'm in Oaktown

Normally I think of SF as a pain (they're always putting us down), but if it comes to an attack from the outside, I'm on their side.

[northamericancitizen]

14. Good job sfexpat2000 !

[foreigncorrespondent]

15. Congratulations, girl!

Well done!!!!

[Nothing Without Hope]

20. kick for our Beth!!!!!

:grouphug: :toast:

[mwooldri]

22. Neat! Way to go!

I had thought of it, didn't realise that a few hours beforehand someone else thought of it also. Ms. sfexpat is to be commended for taking the idea and running with it; I surely don't have the time (or a phonebook for that matter since we're not on the Bell Telephone System anymore (VOIP phone, not POTS)).

However do we need to give the poor postman something for having to haul all them copies of the phone book up to Mr. O'Really's office?

I can see it now...

POSTMAN: Mr O'Reilly, your mail.
O'Really: All that for me?
Postman: Yes Sir, I think it's your "hate mail", for I sure hated dragging it up them steps when the elevator's out of order.

[EFerrari]

26. Lol!

I can't believe what we can do, when we put our heads together.

Well done, DU. And thank you, thank you for so much.

[understandinglife]

23. Congrats Beth!!!

Peace.

[EFerrari]

27. You are working from the heart out.

I am working from the toes in.

Meet you in the middle.

((UL))

[EFerrari]

29. Thank you, TominTib. We do what we can, right?

:toast:

[Nothing Without Hope]

31. Absolutely true. The monsters want us to believe we are powerless.

They're wrong.

Reminds me of a great bit in one of the Lois McMaster Bujold books:

Either the world was not so huge and frightening a place as she'd once been led to believe, or else...she was not so small and helpless as she'd once been encouraged to imagine herself. If power was an illusion, wasn't weakness necessarily one also? –Lois McMaster Bujold (Civil Campaign, epilogue)

Granny D also has it:

"It is the loss of faith in our personal power that drives the woes of the world." --"Granny D." Haddock

[TomInTib]

33. If we don't who will?

They say the French Revolution did not start with the storming of the Bastille, it started when the peasants ceased bowing to the aristocracy as their carriages went by.

[EFerrari]

40. In yr debt, Tom.

We can do this. I know we can. Let's get this @sshole off the air. I don't want my nieces hearing that SF should be attacked by al Qaeda.

That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. :eyes:

[David Zephyr]

35. Yabbadabbado!

:bounce:

[EFerrari]

47. Hey, David.

I don't know you and I thank you for the encouragement.

Let's get this horrible tripe OFF THE AIR!

:toast:

[Catherine Vincent]

36. No, I didn't know. Cool!

I wish I could mail the Houston phone book but I don't think I have enough money for postage. That sucker is HUGE!!!! :)

[EFerrari]

51. I'll front the postage, sweetie. Let's get this sexist, homophobic

racist anti-American creep OFF the air. PM me, I am so not kidding.

I don't want my nieces (all under 10) listening to him.

You know what I mean.

Let's do it.

:hug:

[Catherine Vincent]

74. I was just kidding about that. :)

I'm working on it. Thanks for the offer. :hi:

[ultraist]

44. Congrats sfexpat2000. Well done.

:applause: :patriot:



:bounce:

[EFerrari]

46. We work it 'till it works.

:toast:

[Nothing Without Hope]

48. We sure do. And we give each other comfort and encouragement

along the way, and oh does that make a difference. We are a COMMUNITY with a purpose we believe in. One of the reasons the freepers won't be stopping us is that they really don't "get" what a community is and what it can accomplish.

The laughter helps too! Since Bill O'Lielly is so very, very patriotic, I'm sure he'll be inspired by these words while he's wading through the phone books:

"Irreverence is the champion of liberty and its only sure defense." –Mark Twain

EDITED TO ADD:

...or maybe THIS ONE is more to his address:

“The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.” –-Groucho Marx

[EFerrari]

49. Like this?

The I-95 Song:

"Were you born an @sshole?
Or did you work at it your whole life?"

:)

[Nothing Without Hope]

50. Good one! And be sure to see my edited-to-add Groucho quote

O'Lielly isn't even a GOOD liiar. He's not a good speaker. He's not talented in any way that shows. All he can do is rouse up hate and fear and shout over people who contradict his lies.

The damage he does is not funny and he needs to SHUT UP.

[EFerrari]

54. I'm not sure what every step is, but I KNOW we can do this.

And that will be the beginning. I've called the World, and the World agrees with us. Only the beginning!

(Cue Chicago)

:hug:

[EFerrari]

126. Groucho was pretty much talking to PNAC, wasn't he?

Thanks for the quote. It's a keeper.

[ourbluenation]

52. Great stuff! Good for you...I'll be in the city for turkey day...

and I'll raise a glass to you.

[EFerrari]

55. Welcome! Hope you have a good time here.

:P

[ourbluenation]

57. Go all the time - I'm up the road a skosh in Mendo. SF is a nat'l treasure

...and in reality he and most other americans on the right would be horrified if it was hit. He's such a tool. I love the phone book thing. I guess 707 doesn't count, huh?

[EFerrari]

59. 707 COUNTS!

Mail it. Post a pic, I'll sent dear Skinner 10 bucks.

:hi:

[ourbluenation]

64. You got it...I'll do it in the morning from the office!

Yeeehaw!

[EFerrari]

56. Yes! And now, DU takes back the media.

You go, DUers!

[Zinfandel]

58. Everyones got to do it!

It will give o'reilly press, and that's what he wants...but our point will be somewhat made as well, WE need the press too!

[EFerrari]

69. We can get him off the air.

And redirected into another career path that is a better fit. :evilgrin:

[Zinfandel]

81. Remember to write an anti-Bush message on the front of the package!!!!

Fox will hate it. At least the postal workers will see it!

This page is quite amazing - you can buy vintage phone books.

We can do this. Isn't that amazing?

And, it's the right thing to do.

Go, our amazing DUers!

[EFerrari]

84. Got it!

Now please prepare your White pages. :evilgrin:

[Solly Mack]

86. All I have is a German phonebook. I think he sees Germans as the

enemy already.

But someone could write my name in their white pages when they send it in? Maybe?

[EFerrari]

88. How great would that be-- to send your book?

I will send your name.

I'm so sorry, my country is being run by crooks and liars.

We'll get them out. It will take a wee bit of time, but we will never stop trying.

:hi:

[Solly Mack]

92. Oh, I'm American - but he might just enjoy a German phonebook at that

LOL!

Maybe I'll get one from France as well. It's not far away.

[EFerrari]

94. Whatever you do, French it up, just to drive him crazy

:evilgrin:

[kineneb]

83. how about the Mendocino/Lake Co. phone book?

It's not very thick, but may as well add the 101 corridor/wine regions to his list. Where do I mail it?

98. Daily, in the SF Chronicle. She has a feature called

"public eavesdropping" where you mail in things you hear in public. They're hilarious.

I hope Keith Olbermann and Jon Stewart see this picture and hear the story, including the SF Chron tip. I'd write myself, but I have to go prep for my trip now.

Even if they don't mention it on their show (and they might), they both despise O'Reilly and will relish this.
