The Parade Of Shame -- Palin's Corporate Sponsors

[Liability]

For the very last time, I am NOT trying to shut Palin up. I am trying to remove the financial support TLC needs to air her show.

Not being on TLC =/= a loss of Palin's right to free speech, just her access to the airwaves to whinge on about them. She's free to buttonhole the shopper next to her at Walmarts all she likes and if she does, I could care less.

See, now?

Bullshit.

By trying to get the sponsors to stop providing the commercial support for Palin's inoffensive little TLC show, you are TRYING to shut her up.

Because you, like so many libs, claim that as long as she can speak to a very small audience (on a soap box, for example), you haven't denied her freedom of speech. Clownishly simplistic.

You are attempting (thankfully, its a comical and ineffective petty effort) to prevent her from speaking to more than just a very few people. So you are not only attempting in your arrogant way to put a muzzle on her, but you are attempting to deprive others of the ability the hear her. And that's the other component of free speech. It's not just about her right to share her viewpoints; it's about OUR right to hear her viewpoints if we wish to listen to them.

Libs don't believe in freedom of speech for anyone who deviates from their silly political orthodoxies.

 

[tinydancer]

That is another of your steaming piles of horseshit. You went on for days about Palin's choice to have unprotected sex (with her husband, no less) at the age of 40 and choosing to give birth to a Down Syndrome baby and daring to continue to work.

You are a pathological liar.

A couple of decades ago even though I was in a really tough situation, I chose not to abort. My darling's name is Danielle. Every day she lights up my life. And I am blessed.

I have a grandchild now as well. Praise the Lord on this. It's blessing on blessing.

I will not judge other women who are terrorized or manipulated into their decisions.

One day we must all have a true discussion on this. But if we keep smacking each other upside the head over really truly hollow shit, we will never get any where.

One time just one freaking time I would love to have a discussion with rational women about abortion or birth control in this day and age.

I have been wondering where you went to, miss. Please do up a post about Palin and wolves?

Thankies, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

A hey and hello Madeline. Just popped back in. I've been on the fly. We've had a monster of a snowstorm that is going into it's third day.

One of those slow and steady ones that make you realize you haven't shovelled in sooooo long and you are another year older. You know when you start including tylenol back pain and A535 as part of your "inventory" for winter survival you have passed those days where you were thrilled at the first snow and rushed outside to make an angel.

This says it all.

Diary of a Snow Shoveller



So, you want to be up North????


Subject: Diary of a Snow Shoveler

December 8:
6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9:
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.

December 12:
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. l don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man. I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14:
Snow lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to - 20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. l didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15:
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16:
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, Which I think was very cruel.

December 17:
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20:
Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Goddamn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22:
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the asshole is lying.

December 23:
Only 2" of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!?! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24:
6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snowplow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was busy watching for the goddamn snowplow.

December 25:
Merry Christmas. 20 more inches of the slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's an idiot. If I have to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to kill her.

December 26:
Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27:
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze.

December 28:
Warmed up to above -50. Still snowed in. THE BITCH is driving me crazy!!!!!

December 29:
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30:
Roof caved in. The snow plow driver is suing me for a million dollars. The wife went home to her mother. 9" predicted.

December 31:
Set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8:
I feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

 

[California Girl]

I dun have a bone to pick with Crayola, etc. asterism. All fine companies, as far as I know...I just do not want them to pay for Palin's show.

And therein lays Maddie's problem.... she's doesn't actually understand how tv advertising works. They pay for advertising space, they don't pay for the show. Idiot.

you are really stupid. painfully so

Nope. They buy advertising space on a channel. They decide which slots they advertise in - that's based on a mixture of what program and what time is most appropriate for their target market. That's all. It has nothing to do with support for Palin or Palin's politics.

 

[tinydancer]

I have been wondering where you went to, miss. Please do up a post about Palin and wolves?

Thankies, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.[/QUOTE]

I hope that this is not considered "editing" a post. I just want to get down to the issue of predator control without all the other posts.

Please let me know if this is ok, cause I can always come back in and put all the other posts back in place.

Now Madeline, with all due respect if you want to hate Palin or her policies by all means do so.

BUT don't fall into the trap of all the lies about her because it diminishes your case against her.

The falsehood about making the victims pay for the rape kits was just so over the line by the media. It was a flat out lie.

Now to the wolves. I really took this to Judd and her followers. Frankly I went ballistic on various boards at this lie about Palin. And note what they did? Their anti Palin campaign was disgusting. And they only cared about the poor widdle wolf. Notice no pictures of bears?

As Governor of Alaska it is not a choice. Predator control is mandated by law and treaties.

Again, if one wants to hate her, at least have the decency to hate her over truth and not fabrications.

I have a quizzillion links to laws and First Nations websites that will show you and prove to you without a shadow of a doubt it was her obligation as Governor to conduct predator control

But I'm in a good mood today and I will not torment you but just give you a couple for easy reading. Hey, it's Sunday and it's time to put on Steel Magnolias and pretend there is not a foot of snow outside.

Court upholds predator control programs

RULING: Game Board has duty to ensure sustained yield.

The Alaska Supreme Court on Friday upheld the state's predator control programs, ruling they don't run afoul of the state constitution's mandate to manage wildlife for sustained yield.


Four years ago, Defenders of Wildlife and the Alaska Wildlife Alliance sued the state, contending that intense predator control of wolves and bears violated a section of the constitution requiring wildlife to be managed for sustained yield.

I am hardly alone in objecting to Palin, Cecilie. Nor am I alone in pressuring the show's sponsors to withdraw their financial support.

But you have finally admitted that you're upset because my actions have had some impact and you support Palin. That's progress....not much, but some.

Now, let's see if you can post without the childish insults, shall we? O, and you might try making a case for Palin because for the past 15 posts, all you have done is call people who oppose her names.

It's b-o-r-i-n-g.

This is the way people who cherish liberty would act...I don't agree with what Sarah Palin says so I will support candidates who oppose her messages.

This is the way left wing facists slimeballs would act...I don't agree with what Sarah Palin says so I will do my best to make sure that she is never heard. I will attack her children, and her personally.

The former is the way a rationale person behaves in a democrat society.

The latter is the way a fucking facist who wants a dictatorship behaves.

Since I asked 3 times if it's okay with you to attack your family, and you as a wife and a mother, since I disagree with what you say, and you haven't responded, I will take that as tacit consent.

Kids these days don't even know how to instigate an effective boycott....

sheesh.

Once I get out of my winter wonderland moment I have to get rocking on a couple that are effective and I think and hope and pray I make a difference up and coming.

I want to go full throttle on anti live poinsettia purchases because the main players fund Planned Parenthood to the tune of billions for abortion.

The other campaign I want to drive is to pick one liberal female media target and give her the "Palin" treatment.

I want to make who ever I choose to wish they'd died as a child. Hey what's good for the goose?

Oh, WELL, as long as there are other fascist hypocrites out there, THAT makes it okay that you're one, huh? Most of us outgrew that sort of peer pressure groupthink in high school, Mad. When are YOU planning to become an adult?

And no, you ignorant cow (And don't object, because you called Sarah a cow. Clearly, you think that's a perfectly acceptable name to call women). I haven't admitted that any of the ridiculous twaddle exiting your keyboard is anything but, nor do I intend to. Please don't let your desperate desire to pretend that you're a nice person rather than an oppressor of women blind you to the fact that I know you for what you are, and intend to continue calling you on it.

Not only is my objection to you still, and always, the fact that you want things one way for yourself and those who agree with you and another for those who dare to buck your decreed wisdom - in other words, that you're a disgusting hypocrite - but it CERTAINLY isn't contingent on me believing that your ludicrous, hypocritical behavior will have any effect on TLC, its sponsors, or on Sarah Palin, so please, PLEASE do not sit around flattering yourself that I would EVER think anything you did was effective at anything besides exposing you to everyone for what you are.

Did I happen to mention that what you are is a hypocrite? Don't want that to be forgotten.

Oh, by the way. If anything is childish, it's your continued belief that you can hand down orders to other women and expect to have them obeyed. You can't order Sarah Palin out of public life and politics, you can't order me to treat your bullshit and hypocrisy as though they deserve respect, and you can't order me to stop telling you what you are.

Which is a hypocrite.

I intend to write the executives of each and every one of these companies to tell them I plan to boycott their products unless the stop advertising on Palin's Nature show on TLC. I hope you will do the same.

Get this fuckwhit off the air.

So Madeline, you oppose freedom of expression unless you agree with it.
I'm shocked.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the First Amendment guarantees you an agreeable audience and freedom from consequences.

Such is not the case.

Exactly. So if you want to boycott a company because they're supporting a numbskull, you don't have a problem, right?

 

[Dr Grump]

"Free speech is not meant for conservatives." -- modern American liberals.

Their sexist music sucked even before Natalie Mains opened her mouth. From the day, "Good-bye Earl" started promoting murder, I refused to listen to their music, (note: I did not call for a boycott... except within my own home) I would turn the radio off when a song of theirs came on.

There are few musicians or groups that I am glad are no longer making music, but of those few, The Dixie Witches top the list.

Immie

You must have a really shallow music list if they are at the top

I have no problem with somebody kicking the shit out of, or even killing if warranted, a man who beats the shit out of his partner and puts them in hospital. That aside, it was a tongue-in-cheek song...you know that, right?

 

[Dr Grump]

Bullshit.

By trying to get the sponsors to stop providing the commercial support for Palin's inoffensive little TLC show, you are TRYING to shut her up.
he ability the hear .

And boycotting the likes of the dixie chicks by trying to make sure people don't buy their music is encouraging freedome of speech, right?

Hypocrite....

And you don't?

Practically all media information and entertainment we (and this includes me) hear or see is passed through a liberal filter; a filter you don't see because you accept it as conventional wisdom, and entirely natural. Objecting to it would be like objecting to the air that we breathe.

The options to avoid that are limited. I, like most anyone who leans right, have learned to live with it. And no, I've never promoted a boycott of any sponsor of any programming I've objected to.

I'm all for wing-nut fools on the left having full access to the microphone; they are their own destruction.

You do seem to have a problem making sense Dr. Chump.

I detest the Dixie Chumps. (Were they named after you?) I do not call for a boycott of either them or their sponsors, however.

So, no. No hypocrisy on my part. Piss-poor guess work on your part.

By the way, they happen to be just a bunch of mediocre musicians who like to talk politics. I am reminded of Laura Ingraham's suggestion that maybe they should shut up and sing. I don't give a rat's ass about the shallow political opinions of Bruce Springstein, either. People who plunk down money to hear the music shouldn't have to get lectured on political topics by assholes like that.

By contrast, you moron, Palin IS a politician. Her show about Alaska, however, isn't. If she starts using it to discuss her conservative viewpoint, you can turn the show off. But to boycott the sponsors of her show because you don't like HER politics even though she's not talking politics is idiotic.

LOL, the Dixie chicks. good grief. the people who listened to them decided not to buy their Albums, nobody asked stations to boycott them. They also brought things on themselves, something they learned the hard way, country music fans are very patriotic. I shed not one drop of tears for the chicks.

booo hooo

The Chicks were the exact people i was referring to back on post 313, when I said " - I'm all for wing-nut fools on the left having full access to the microphone; they are their own destruction. - " The fools that they are, the Chicks didn't appreciate who their audience was limited to. They sucked up to the left, and learned thier audience was 90-percent conservative.
