"Petition: http://foxattacks.com/obama

The internet is buzzing with Billy boy shoving an Obama staffer this weekend, thanks in large part to our friends at Crooks and Liars. It's been fun watching O'Reilly make a spectacle of himself, traveling to New Hampshire to beg Barack to come on his show.

Jonathan and Bill, our FOX Attacks duo, rushed in to do a video showing why Obama is so right to remain strong and principled in refusing to go on. See the video and laugh out loud at his invoking the Constitution, I kid you not!"

1. I have this to say about Brave New Films
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 12:43 AM by ihavenobias
They're awesome! I just watched the special edition of Outfoxed and will soon be watching the Wal-Mart movie and Iraq for Sale (got them for Christmas).

Outfoxed is a great movie to lend to anyone who doesn't realize how laughably biased Fox News is (trust me, there are more of them than you think).

PS---I also love Brave New Films for this: http://bravenewfilms.org/

6. If you liked Outfoxed
your gonna love Wal-Mart. But it is a lot more fun holding a screening party. We held one for Outfoxed years ago and one for Wal-Mart a couple of years ago. We enjoyed it so much we attended another one. Greenwald makes great films.

7. Is it current?
Is the Wal-Mart movie still current? I was a little disappointed with Outfoxed *only* because it didn't have some of the newer Fox clips.

Don't get me wrong, I loved it, I just wish he would release a new version each year (impractical I know which is why he created Fox Attacks to begin with). Oh well, I'm sure the core message of the Wal-Mart movie is still relevant.

PS---I foolishly posted the wrong link the first time. I meant to post this: http://bravenewfilms.org/election

9. it was released in 2006
so it is more recent then I remembered....We were still living in California so about a year and a half since it's release. Greenwald was holding house party's for screenings of his films. It was a great way to get to know other progressives in your area. I miss that here in Georgia.

11. That would be fun actually
I really want to get involved here since I moved from the city to a more conservative suburb of Chicago (annoying yes, but I had no choice).

I tried to go to a DFA meeting locally here only to find out they had put the wrong date on the website (I figured that out after sitting there like a fool for half an hour wondering who I was supposed to approach and talk politics with).

I finally broke down and asked the bartender who informed me they had met the night before!

But it's nice that Chicago is less than an hour away, unlike your situation...it would drive me crazy to live in such a conservative state.

3. Well done.
I'll be curious to see how this plays out.

Obama did say he'd "come on ... after the primary." After New Hampshire? That's what Bill-O tried to specify, but didn't get confirmation on. After all of the primaries?

I'm normally all for boycotting Fox Noise, but there is a constituency Obama can reach via that show (including some of my relatives).

If he's going to go on O'Reilly, there will have to be some strict ground rules.

10. F*x shows its true colors (AGAIN)
And Obama is righteous to avoid them. I signed the petiton/letter.

They've treated Obama like crap. UNBELIEVABLE the smears against him F*x has done - then THIS?

I hope he NEVER goes on that show.

F*x Attacks. Obama decides.
