8. They want to dope us up so we can't vote, they can do it cheaper with weed :-)

[DesertRat]

10. So true

[AlCzervik]

12. Dear America-Have a salad.

3. thx

[AllentownJake]

5. We need to pick one

and hammer the fuck out of them I vote Disney Fuck you Hanna Montana

[uponit7771]

7. It looks like it was all drug companies

[crispini]

9. Works for me. I don't do any Disney stuff anyway.

They're certainly getting all the calls tonight! :D

18. If we choose one sponsor, we should go after the parent company with the most advertising.

Then boycott all their brands.

[maximusveritas]

11. That's not a good idea. Focus on ABC News

They were the ones who screwed up here. How could the sponsors have known the moderators would be treat the debate like The Sean Hannity Show ?

[crispini]

13. What else can we DO to ABC news? Boycotts send a message.

I'd be up for one. That's the only way to twist their arm, to beat the crap out of the sponsors.

[maximusveritas]

16. Just boycott ABC News

and continue to bombard them with complaints. And then send donations to your favorite Democratic candidate.

I just don't think a sponsor boycott will work in this case, since it's not like we're protesting a show that is chronically awful like O'Reilly's show. We're protesting a one-time event. I could be wrong, but that's my initial impression.

[crispini]

22. Well, you have a good point.

i'm just pissed, LOL.

[AlCzervik]

14. Sean Hannity's radio show is on the ABC radio netowrk, ABC knows damn well

what exactly Sean Hannity is.

[Subdivisions]

15. I've been boycotting ABC since their

9/11 anniversary bullshit - until tonight.

And boy did I regret giving them a reprieve!

The best way to boycott their sponsors is to boycott them. That way you never have to see their sponsors' commericials.

17. Next break:

Geico (Berkshire Hathaway)
Pepcid (Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co./Johnson & Johnson)
RE/MAX (I think they are the parent company)
Staples (again I think they are the parent company)
DanActive (Dannon/
Gold Bond (Chattem, Inc.)
Ambien (sanofi-aventis)
Arby's (Triarc)

21. Thanks!

:thumbsup:

29. Thanks!

:hi:

19. I wish we had flooded their phones before "Path to 9-11" aired

Remember the fake docudrama about the Clintons?

[DemBones DemBones]

20. Why protest ABC? Obama was lousy. He couldn't answer questions, he

stammered and rambled. That's his fault, not ABC's.

[Tarheel_Dem]

25. Wooden spoon meet pot?

Clintonites have seen fit to picket outside one of the few progressive hosts on the air today, so turnabout is fair play.

[TML]

23. I'm making a list as it plays

I have nine name so far. I'll make a complete post when it's over on the Left Coast.

[beyondromantic]

24. I say let's blame ABC and not the sponsors

The sponsors did not choose the questions.

[nsd]

26. Putting pressure on the sponsors is a way of getting ABC to listen.

[Madam Mossfern]

27. The only way to really get to ABC

is to hurt their sponsors. We don't give ABC money, the sponsors do. Believe me a call from a few major accounts will get their attention.

[Hepburn]

28. GMTA!

I am so glad you posted this thread. That was my first thought and I never posted a thread about doing this.

Go for their pocketbook...the sponsors!
