1. I'll watch the very end of it.

I want to see Hannity sobbing as he is forced to declare Barack Obama the President-elect.

[CoffeeCat]

2. Great idea...

...and better yet, won't it be fun to listen to Rush Limbaugh the next day?

LOL!

:rofl:

[HughMoran]

3. I can't watch that filth - ever

I've deprogrammed that channel and need a special code to watch it - which I would never enter.

[tedoll78]

4. I'm not only watching it..

I'm also DVRing as much as I can, for future hilarity.

TV #1 - in the living room - will be tuned to Fox News with the DVR running.

TV #2 - in the kitchen - will be tuned to MSNBC, for more normal coverage.. and to see if Olbermann cried happy tears.

TV #3 - in the bedroom - will be tuned to Comedy Central with the DVR running. I probably won't be able to watch it until later..

So my plans are in place.. :P

6. Great plan!

Except for maybe the Fox news part... I'm just not sure I will ever watch them again.

[still_one]

5. I will record it, but only watch it if we win by a huge margin /nt

[On the Road]

7. I Would Like to Check CNN

and watch the little meters show the positive-negative reaction of the newscasters.

:smoke:

[peace frog]

8. Nah

They can wail, gnash their teeth, rend their garments and threaten to drink poisoned kool aid for all I care. Faux News does not exist in my world.

[patricia92243]

11. My sentiments exactly.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Who's catering the Jim Jones style post-election party at Fox?

[VWolf]

10. Not me. My plan is to

watch the best clips the following day. I'm sure there will be plenty posted on DU!

[zeemike]

12. I will.... somebody gotta do it

Besides I only get one chanel on my TV because I don't have cable, and it is Fox.

[cboy4]

13. I might have to peek in, since it could look like this:

[ej510]

14. I definitely will watch the propaganda network.

[Doctor_J]

15. Probably the same people who post about Fox, Sludge, freeperville every day

Luckily for me most are on my ignore list by now. Welcome to that list

[workinclasszero]

16. Ill watch Fox "news" when they are forced to declare Obama

the next President of the United States!!!:toast:

The tears those reich wingers shed will taste like the finest wine! :beer::rofl:

[Schulzz]

17. Only if other networks are calling states like VA early.

Then I will switch to Faux, I want to watch all those exploding heads. :evilgrin:

[Meshuga]

18. I refuse to be part of their ratings

I'll just watch the Youtube posts on the 5th of November.

[msanthrope]

19. Sometimes the schaden just freudes itself..Do we know who

are the lucky gals/guys who pulled this shift?????

[MatthewStLouis]

20. I will check on Fox only after I feel we are winning...

The last two major elections we lost were painful and surreal. My jaw still hurts from dropping the morning after the 2000 election debacle. I don't want to risk ever seeing total !@#$%^&'s like Hannity (the manatee) and Billo (the clown) gloating over another win for the pro-big-corporation anti-little-guy republicans.

[doc03]

21. You better check elsewhere from time to time you

may go to bed election night thinking McCain has pulled off a stunning comeback. Of course you may get the idea things aren't going to well when Hannity's head explodes on TV and they take Oliely out in a straight jacket.

[briv1016]

22. I have a feeling there will be a highlight reel on youtube the next day.

I'd rather not give them the ratings.

[mwb970]

23. Here's Sherrod Brown's take on the idea.

Sen. Brown: Make O'Reilly cry Nov. 4
(Yahoo News, October 13, 2008)

At about 11:30 pm, (Senator Brown) told the crowd, they should switch over to Fox News, the network on which the right-leaning O’Reilly hosts a top-rated talk/news show. A chorus of boos erupted from the crowd. Fox, of course, is vilified by many Democrats, who believe it favors Republicans. Obama himself has gone after the network at times.

“No, no, bear with me here,” Brown shouted, as boos continued raining down. “No, no, you’ll want to do this. You don’t like Fox, but sometimes Fox has gotta do the right thing, so you’re gonna watch Fox,” he continued. “About quarter till 12 on election night, it’s gonna be Bill O’Reilly sitting there with Sean Hannity,” he said, drawing another cascade of jeers from the crowd at the mention of another popular conservative Fox host.

“No, no wait a sec, this is gonna be too much fun. You’re not gonna be booing ‘cause you know what’s coming next. So Hannity – they’re going through all these numbers and Barack’s won California, New York and Illinois and Michigan and Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and all these others. And, you know McCain wins Utah or something,” Brown said, drawing appreciative laughs and claps from the energized crowd.

“Then Hannity’s sitting there next to O’Reilly, and they’re looking at each other, and O’Reilly says, ‘You gonna do it?’ And Hannity says, ‘No.’ So O’Reilly – sweat’s coming, tears are coming down his cheeks – you can see ‘em on your flat screen. And O’Reilly says, ‘Well, Ohio went for Barack Obama. He’s gonna be president of the United States!”

24. Great idea. I love it. I think I will now. nt

[Johonny]

25. I black that out

I don't allow smut on my TV

[Sebastian Doyle]

26. I'll probably tune in to FAUX after the election is called for Obama

Just to watch the meltdown. :evilgrin:

[Birthday]

27. In the words of the old Pres. Bush:

"Not gonna do it".

[Rocknrule]

28. I can't wait to see the post-election Colbert Report

[leftynyc]

29. Maybe after a winner declared

First I'd have to find it on my lineup.

[PCIntern]

30. Extra batteries for the remote will be had...

[spanone]

31. absolutely no way. never. ministry of propaganda....

[Doityourself]

32. I can't wait! I look forward to Sean Hannity's face more than anyone else's!!!!!! n/t

[Sugarcoated]

33. One of the pure pleasures of this election

will be the faces and shrill voices of wingnuts like Hanutty, Hugh Hewitt, Rash, Hasselback, etc. I'll flip around and catch a bit in the commercials, but I want to celebrate with the good people . . . mainly Keith and some of the fair common sense journalists and former Dem strategists on MSNBC and CNN. And my husband.

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. I will be flipping channels.
