VANITY: I'll Make an FR Donation for Everyone Who Pledges to Boycott MSNBC
me ^ | April 8, 2004 | redlipstick

Posted on 04/08/2004 7:14:37 PM PDT by EllaMinnow

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.

Is the offer valid if I don't ever watch MSNBC now. I promise to continue not watching for ever.

I have been boycotting pmsnbc [as Rush puts it!] for a long time. It is quite ovious to me of their left wing agenda.

SEMPER FI!

Thank you all very much for your pledges to boycott MSNBC!

I'm doubling the contribution to 50 cents for each of you.

I have you all down as those who were already boycotting/never watched in the first place.

I appreciate your support, and I'm donating 15 cents in each of your names - and doubling that to 30 cents.

10 cents (doubled to 20) for Istillcare with the Scarborough exception.

50 cents - doubled to a dollar for DeSoto's boycott of ALL media.

I'll boycott, with the exception of freeping their leftist polls.

For matching purposes, I have 56 full-fledged boycott pledgers!

I'm about to make my $50 donation, with this breakdown

50 cents for each pledgee(56)
30 cents for each alreadyboycotting/neverwatched(54)
2 special donations for special causes
and $9.60 for the bottle of wine I don't need to buy on Monday to get me through a week of HARDBALL.
