WTH? Obama Now Has His Own Channel on Dish Network (#73)
dishnetwork ^ | freeplancer

Posted on 10/01/2008 7:25:35 PM PDT by freeplancer

Flipping channels, I come across channel 73 on my Dish system. It is called "Obama:Barrack Obama's Plan for America". This is unbelievable.

Yep, it is true, switching to directTv in the morning. Does any other freepers have DirectTV and if they do, are they satisfied with the service?

It's advertising. O may do the same on DirecTV. Mac can do the same.

It is little more than an infomercial for the Obama Campaign. McCain is free to buy the same arrangement with Dish.

No need to switch... It’s a paid ad, they’d do it for McCain too if he forked over the cash.

I’ve had DirecTV for quite a few years now after they bought out PrimeStar. I wouldn’t change to any other system. I’m staying with DirecTV.

Obama’s own channel!!

I heard today that the YouTube of the singing ‘Obama’ children was removed. I had just sent it out in email too.

And yet it's been posted a few times already as vanities and as a Michele Malkin piece.

BTW, on my Dish, the channel is BT-15, but Obama is on for 8 hours or so. Probably paid advertising. THere's a bunch of those channels.

I switched to Direct TV a few years ago from Time Warner.

Pro: knowing I am not giving revenue to the LW morons at TW; slightly better customer service on the phone.

Con: If it drizzles my reception is terrible. (I am in NYC).

Also be careful of limited time free package add-ons - they bill a month ahead and you have to vociferously and pro-actively cancel if you don’t want a surprise on your bill.

PS - Thanks for your service, Claymax.

The postal union has sent a message to all letter carriers and postal workers. Obama wants to have nationwide voting by mail. This will create more jobs for postal workers so everybody should vote for Obama.

They added that McCain is not for voting by mail so Obama should get their vote.

Evidently the One has many many millions to spend.

Where will they turn up next.

Oh, I’m sure the stepford children singing was downloaded by lots of people before it was pulled down. The Obama cult was scaring people instead of indoctrinating them.

[The Obama cult was scaring people ]

Definitely! I also sent out the followup by Obama about his ‘youth programs’. Most of the population doesn’t know he wants mandatory programs for high school and college kids.

Then he wants children in school even younger.
Indoctrination works well with the very young....

He’s using repetition too, just like in the madrassas. Why doesn’t anybody talk about Saul Alinsky????? He’s educating kids to not say the pledge of allegiance.

I don’t know, I’m as puzzled as you. I know the schoolteachers are more liberal and I think the parents don’t pay as much attention. Every young person is more liberal than we used to be. [speaking for myself].

I have three daughters with children and believe me, I keep them informed.

Lol, mine are conservative, but not as conservative as me. It’s the age they live in now, things ‘rub off’ from all the other YUPPIES. It’s inevetable so they have to have a good conservative start in life to fend it off.

Thanks for the heads up, PL!

Seems like Dish is just BEGGING for a good ole fashioned
FREEPIN’ !!!

Dear Dish Network:

Just noticed you have a dedicated channel (#73) for The Obamassiah.

The old “Fairness Doctrine” would demand equal time for
MY guy, McCain. Can you please tell me which channel you
have dedicated to him !?!?!??!

Oh. I see.

So this is what a LYIN’ politician can do when he raises
ILLEGAL $$ cash from non-citizens. After breaking his
pledge with McCain regarding shared funds (or whatever...
can’t recall how that works off hand).

Sheesh !!

I know this is dumb sounding but I only get to come here when I visit my mother and use her computer. What is dish network? Is it satellite?

The not so well off won't have those so Obama wouldn't be seen by them.

If Dish TV has done this, we will be going to Direct TV.

The reason, we left cable eight years ago was their refusal to put Fox News on as an option.

$crew these GD liberals and use the competitors.

Our monthly payments to Dish are subsidizing Snobami’s channel. None of us got monthly rebate check to cover the cost of Obami’s channel

So what was the big deal about Fred Thompson appearing as an actor on a “non-political” TV show Law & Order? Remember they said he would have to quit the show and all episodes he appears in pulled from the line up? If this did not happen, the other candidates would have to be given equal time. Rings a bell with anyone?
