Latest Color Of Change Slam Against FNC: Free ‘Turn Off FOX’ Stickers

Topping the internet’s most popular news aggregators today is the no-strings-attached offer by grassroots, web-based organization ColorOfChange.org to provide anyone who wants one a “Turn Off FOX” sticker, free of charge (yes, even shipping). And who isn’t a fan of free things? Or simple bumper sticker activism for that matter. And while, most casual liberals may see this as a random grassroots giveaway, but it’s actually a part of Color of Change’s long struggle against FOX News.

Color of Change first seriously battled the network last summer, when they lead the charge of getting advertisers to drop Glenn Beck after he said President Obama held a “deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.“ Then in September, Glenn Beck got his revenge when a petition saying the Bush administration “may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen” was found with the signature of Color of Change founder Van Jones on it. Though Jones vehemently denied this was a stance he held, the damage was done and he was forced to resign as Obama’s Green Jobs Czar.

Now today, the organization is striking again by giving out these “Turn Off FOX” stickers to anyone in America willing to sign a petition saying FOX is “spreading hate, lies and division.”

FOX and ColorOfChange.org have had a long and conflict-filled history. So perhaps as the people who chose to do so are putting these stickers on their cars, they get reminded that it’s also time we all learn to Coexist.

LOL - I hope they do to Fox what they did to Glenn Beck....their ratings should soar.

[La Lydia]

Nothing a Sharpie couldn’t take care of.

[TheBattman]

So - thousands of Freepers requesting these stickers.... That would help their budget, yes???

[RatRipper]

We need to counter by sending Zer0 a couple of truckloads of “Lay off Fox, Zer0” bumper stickers.

Or just cut out “Turn off.”

[normy]

If they were truly enlightened as they think they are they would want people to watch Fox so they could dismantle their “lies”. Instead it’s just “Turn it off and trust us, they lie”

[Hodar]

Or just cut out “Turn off.”

Nah, it's easier to take a Sharpie and add an "\" between the two f's.

[NEMDF]

Let’s order them by the thousands!

[The Toad]

I may have to order one from them and promptly toss it into the garbage the minute after I receive it.

The morons are advertising for Fox News. No one ever accused them of being bright.

[FrankR]

It's the best advertising FOX news could get, you can't even buy that kind of effective advertising.

Nobody outside a mental ward listens to anything the left has to say anyway, and our current situation in America is proof positive of their inability and non-credibility on ANYTHING.

They're preaching to their own far-left base who probably has never watched FOX news anyway - being the lemmings for the party line that most of them are.

I would be like, "Why do they want me to turn off FOX, if FOX is the joke they make it out to be, then why tdo they think they have to tell me to turn it off".

But they're are used to dealing with robogroups who turn on their comman like a school of herring.

It's the left's version of the child's game, "Mother, May I"...if you don't ask "May I", you have to go back to the starting line.

[albie]

I’ll just replace “FOX” with “Obama”. My “Palin” sticker was made by simply cutting off the top half...”McCain”.

[chickadee]

OMG, the left is using earth-killing carbon-fueled vehicles as a venue to promote their political messages? Is nothing sacred?

[oldbrowser]

How much do you want to bet that this is all financed by stimulus money?

[Ditter]

LOL! I was thinking the very same thing. You could change it to TURN OFF POX or even TURN ON FOX.

[La Lydia]

TURN OFF BOX would be easy to accomplish, too.

[Lucky9teen]

How can we photoshop this?

[OB1kNOb]

TURN OFF ROX?

[EQAndyBuzz]

“So - thousands of Freepers requesting these stickers.... That would help their budget, yes???”

You want them to have your address?
