Apparently the Dem's efforts aren't working that well here is a reply from OVERSTOCK.COM

I'm sorry that you have decided to not to purchase from Overstock.com again - even in light of the good service we have provided in the past. Our decision to purchase, advertise, and distribute Fahrenhype 9/11 was purely a business decision and does not reflect any political statement whatsoever. As you can see from the webpage in the attached link (http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?SEC_IID=4831&PA... GE_ID=2197), not only do we sell Fahrenheit 9/11 and Fahrenhype 9/11 side by side (as well as books by Bill Clinton and Al Franken on the left and Dick Morris on the right), but we list Fahrenheit 9/11 first on the page.

It's interesting to me that no one has ever contacted us to express concerns or question our patriotism as a result of our selling Fahrenheit 9/11.

Let a hundred flowers bloom.

Respectfully,

Jonathan Johnson
VP, Corporate Affairs

Now that's good, real good.

buwwaahahahahahah

Lol, I love it, especially the nonchalant "let a hundred flowers bloom" line. Kudos for them for recognizing the hypocrisy of criticizing Fahrenhype while at the same time not saying a word against F-911.

In 1956, Mao Zedong decided it was time to allow people in China to speak their minds free from fear of persecution by the government. Mao wanted to encourage free speech and healthy arguments. This was introduced with the phrase "let a hundred flowers bloom."

"let a hundred flowers bloom."


Funny!

From post: "outraged individuals turned into activists - "

like Kerry's pals - upset that the truth might come out -


The spin on the debate is heavy already - Women just love Kerry and the flip/flop line is working against President Bush - In which party's dream - ?

LOL

After it was discovered that Sinclair Broadcasting Group (SBGI) was planning to broadcast an anti-Kerry documentary days before the election, outraged individuals turned into activists by organizing action against the company...

Somehow -- call me a cynic, I know -- I suspect these activists and their protests are about as spontaneous as a Swiss watch.

I LOVE Overstock dot com -- I think I'll send them an email to that effect -- how about the rest of you...

The sentiment at Sinclair couldn't be clearer. The spokesman I saw said they would pay fines and risk financial ruin because they owe it to the men who suffered in Vietnamese prisons.

Ya gotta respect that attitude.

[A2J]

Can you post the email addresses of the companies that do advertise on Sinclair so that I can write and encourage them to not give in to the left's threats?

Thanks.

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.

I am very glad I decided to purchase from Overstock.com my copy of Farenhype, seeing your message.
