VANITY: I'll Make an FR Donation for Everyone Who Pledges to Boycott MSNBC

I've been driven to post my first vanity by the out and out disgusting behavior of Chris Matthews and Don Imus. Matthews gave full rein today to 4 9/11 widows spouting conspiracy theories...he even said that VP Cheney should be given sodium pentathol before his Commission testimony. Imus has become unwatchable. He has gone far beyond humor in his insults of President Bush - far beyond.

So, here's the deal... the only way we can hurt MSNBC's ratings is by boycotting them ourselves. I'm willing to donate 25 cents to FR for every boycott pledgee on this thread - my maximum is $50, but so is my minimum!

I'm hoping that others might be willing to match my donations. How about it guys? I would love to wake up in the morning and find at least a hundred pledges.

[BlueAngel]

You can put me down, redlipstick. Chrissy is just a mouthpiece for the DNC. He despises Pres. Bush.

[Gershkies]

Bada-bing... 25 cents... ching...ching...ching...

What's a Scooter Libby?

Chief of Staff for Dick Cheney and Matthews is obsessed with him. Convinced he's the machiavellian lynchpin for the underbelly of the Bush administration. He spat out the name half a dozen times in less than 30 seconds the other night.

I'm not kidding.

We used to laugh at Chris' weird obsessions, but today he went beyond the pale. Not to do with Scooter, though.

[krunkygirl]

You're way too kind...Matthews isn't a nut case--he is malevolent.

And Matthews actually wrote a book about how great it is to be an American or something like that...makes me want to puke.

I will gladly join the boycott (even tho' I might not count 'cause I can only get Matthews on Sunday night on CNBC--I don't get MSNBC at all)

[MarMema]

Boycotted.

I also e- mailed Scarborough about the increasing liberal slant of his show. Maybe he heard from a lot of us. I can't grab the remote fast enough when disgusting Chris comes on.I hate to watch Greta because her husband is a Kerry worker, and I will miss Joe, but goodbye MSNBC.

Joe was good tonight. He didn't say that much but he let Christopher Hitchens take on the lib woman and then he had Gordon Liddy who you know is a conservative.

I just want someone to tell me if Waschovia is still advertising on Hardball. I told them that we were going to withdraw all our retirement from their bank if they continued and I mean it.

This should cover the entire MSNBC viewer base.  Glad to help.

[faithincowboys]

You're crazy. The 2 million who served in Vietnam are the first to tell you that their peers betrayed them and the country. I don't know what you're talking about.

[faithincowboys]

You're nuts. Joe is weak. He should have had Hitchens and Woolsey on by themselves--now isn't the time for equal time when half of the time is designated for traitor propaganda.

[faithincowboys]

[faithincowboys]

We need to do more. I wish I lived in DC. We need to do More.

[Mo1]

I don't know what you're talking about

That's obvious

[Eva]

But the last time that I watched Scarborugh he had the conservatives out numbered 3 to one. This is a vast improvement.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Sorry, Dude. YOU'RE off your rocker. My brother served not once, but twice in Nam.

And not EVERYONE betrayed them. Yes, it was a horrible time in our history...but, uh....what's Bill Clinton's "legacy" going to say about YOUR generation?

How about the decline in morals due to the homosexual movement, which, btw, happened mostly during YOUR time. They sure as heck weren't comin' out of the closet during my childhood years, like yours.

Please, Son, be careful what you say next time.

[faithincowboys]

Yes, that's great. Like I said, I wish I lived in DC. I would love to be confrontational with the people who are selling the country down the river.

[Brad’s Gramma]

We need to do more. I wish I lived in DC. We need to do More.

You're young. Your life is ahead of you. MOVE to DC. MAKE a difference! Put your $$ where your mouth is...DARE ya!

[Bushiefan]

Sorry, I don't know about the advertising on Hardball. I would probably throw a vase or something through the tv if he was on for 5 minutes. I don't blame you about the bank. They should realize that not all of their business comes from radical Bush haters.
