Now Freeps want to boycott Sinclair sponsors
– the very same ones they just called a few days ago to urge support for the smear program when DUers were boycotting. They're also urging everyone to sell their Sinclair stock (that they just bought).

Freeps do the darndest things!

1. That's great!
Then we'll ALL be boycotting them! How can we get this to work for Fox and CNN, too? :D

6. You said it...
They'll just make them even more wary of ever handling that hot potato known as Sinclair again - and any other station will think twice before ever attempting such a blatant propaganda move...

10. Good, I have no sympathy for Sinclair at all.
They got themselves into this mess because they thought that they were not culpable for thier actions. Well, just like when you try to play for two lovers at the same time, chances are you'll end up with none - a perfect analogy for this situation. I'm not backing down.

11. Instant Karma Gonna Get You...
Nothing, absolutely nothing is going right for the wingnuts these days..

I keep having to pinch myself to see that I'm not dreaming!!

It's fun tonight but it makes me think of how nasty it still can get. Freepers in meltdown are worse than cornered rats.

I'll go to sleep laughing and wake up to work another day towards electing John Kerry.

:D :D :D

31. I recognized Kelly
and you're right, a double whammy. I hope the cost to Sinclair is great no matter what direction it comes from.

14. There's an old Italian saying
I can't quote it in my grandparents' native tongue, but the translation is:

"You spit up in the air, it lands in your face."

21. ...and so, the Law of Unintended Consequences Strikes SBG
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. Never thought I'd say it, but in this context, it's correct: go, Freepers!

Edited on Sat Oct-23-04 01:30 AM by uncle ray
"The problem with Sinclair... they think that balance means showing both sides. THe problem with that theory... If one side is rational and honest, and the other side is willing to lie, cheat, distort... that is not a balanced representation."

Ahahaha!

everybody be sure to watch stolen honortheres links in the freeper thread, some kind freeptard is paying for the bandwith for us all to watch it. i'm watching it right now, with the sound off, while i surf DU, at least i think i am, i haven't checked the video since i started it.

29. They just show why they are so easy to brainwash, they are f'ing stupid
they still haven't figured out that they are voting against their own self interest and hanging out with religious kooks.

30. This is from Sinclair's website:
"We would like to thank the Kerry Campaign for its participation during the private discussions that took place over a period of weeks. Through the recommendations of senior Kerry Campaign officials, several people closely allied with Senator John Kerry, including his close friend of 40-years and his co-editor of “The New Soldier,” George Butler, participated in the news special."

Is this true? And if so, are they really incorporating Kerry's side of the story?
