I love it.
I posted a reply over there, at the washington dispatch.

Amazing, what drivel these folks will swallow. When it favors the "left", they think all is wonderful. When all we try to do is get it back more towards the center, it's poor pitiful me. WAAH!!!

Amazing how they accuse everyone that doesn't agree of being hypocrites. Just amazing.

Here is DNC's marching order. We can use the same list to send a positive message, can't we?

Dear xxxxx,

The Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a conservative broadcasting company that runs television stations in dozens of major television markets nationwide, has ordered its stations to preempt other programming and air an anti-Kerry program days before Election Day.

The so-called "documentary," called "Stolen Honor," was written, produced, and funded by extreme right-wing activists. Sinclair is using its reach to broadcast a blatantly political -- and false -- message while disguising it as "news."

And this isn't the first time the Sinclair corporate office has compromised the journalistic integrity of its stations. It ordered ABC affiliates not to air a nonpartisan tribute to our fallen U.S. soldiers, fearing the consequences for George W. Bush. It has refused to run a DNC ad that challenged Bush for citing faulty intelligence about Iraq. And Sinclair and its executives have contributed thousands of dollars to Republican causes -- and the CEO has given the maximum donation to Bush-Cheney 04.

Take Action

Sinclair Broadcasting is using its television stations to disguise right-wing smears against John Kerry as news. The Democratic Party has filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission to protest this illegal corporate contribution to the Bush campaign.

But we need your help to stop this right-wing attack on John Kerry. An overwhelming outcry from the public may be the only way to stop Sinclair from forcing these smears onto the airwaves. There are two ways that we need to take action immediately:

  1. Call Sinclair's affiliates. Click here for a list of phone numbers for Sinclair stations. Call them to let them know what you think about their decision to air untrue smears about John Kerry just before Election Day.
  2. Sign our petition. Click here to sign our petition demanding that Sinclair take their negative smears off the air.

A reply from Copps:

"I appreciate your contacting me about Sinclair’s proposed broadcast of Stolen Honor. As you will see from the following statement that I released, I am concerned that this decision is not in keeping with the public interest responsibilities of our broadcast media. Thank you for contacting me about this matter.”

The attachment was the same swill he sent to the Media.
So the coward isn't even answering his mail.

However, I cc'd all his commission buddies. TEE HEE

I've not bought anything from overstock.com but I've got to admit - as an old geezer - that gal who does their commercials is something else.

They don't come much better.
