Should we be communicating with Skeezix O'Reilly's remaining advertisers?

[47of74]

Should we perhaps be having a respectful word with those who continue to advertise on Skeezix's show? Maybe respectfully communicating our disgust with The Factor with its advertisers will convince more of them to go the UPS route with the show. I ask because of all the vitrol Skeezix broadcasted regarding the late Dr. Tiller.

1. Oh, yeah- complete with comments on the record

and mentioning other people that you know of who won't have anything to do with their products anymore.

2. I know Olbermann has been referring to him as "Skeezix"

But I wonder what that refers to?

3. Skeezix is a character in the Gasoline Alley comic strip

Personally, I prefer "Billo The Clown". :)

Since I never watch Billo's hate-fest, I don't know what evil sh*t he had to say about this doctor's murder. But I'd bet money Keith will be all over it like flies on a pile of manure.

I also get the feeling it won't be one of his amused "Worst Persons", but a serious one, as he's done with some of Billo's creepier comments in the past.

I get the feeling that Billo's jealous that Keith's been giving Rush so much attention, so he has to say something horribly evil to get the spotlight back on himself. :mad:

4. I'm afraid if anyone's hoping this is the straw that finally breaks his back

or Hannity's, or anyone else's in the right-wing Wurlitzer, they're entertaining false hopes.

Yeah, I wish too, but let's face it, these people always manage to get off scot free from having to bear any burden of blame for the kind of crap that happens after they fan the flames of hatred.

Keith can say whatever he likes about this. It's not going to bring Billo down. It's not going to destroy Fox News. Business will continue as usual. Because that's just the way things are for them. They will always have plenty of advertisers and thus always plenty of support.

5. The advertisers should always be confronted, politely.

But someone will have to post the list here. I'm not watching that shit to make the list. Well, I might do it once for the team, but that's it. No boosting the numbers of hate tv so as to justify anyone advertising with them.
