ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE

Tue Jun 16 2009 08:45:10 ET

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Highlights on the agenda:

ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.

The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate. (snip)

Boycott DISNEY. Parent Corp of ABC. HIT THE LEFT WHERE IT HURTS. In the pocketbook. They may be liberals but they still worship money.

A nationwide, organized boycott is the only thing to do, but unlike the Democrats, we don't have any leadership to organize it.

Embassy Suites has already pulled their advertising from David Letterman’s program.

Boycott Disney. Pull the plug. Defund the Left.

Just a test for tonight, right?

There are FR tweets for Iran, next year will the Iranians be tweeting for FReepers?

I have no idea why this comes as a surprise to anybody. The only thing REMOTELY surprising is that it wasn’t MSNBC.

The media LOVES this guy and has been his pet poodle since he won New Hampshire. Charlie Gibson probably can’t wait to be the next Monica Lewinsky.

Their nightly news dropped from 7million to 4million viewers

not to mention digital signals don’t travel nearly as far as analog signals..lotsa rural people out there have dropped from 3-4 stations to 1-2 IF their antennas are turned in the correct direction AND the weather is good..

What we do is quite simple. We boycott ABC and it’s sponsors. Start an email campaign where everyone sends it to everyone they know. Hey, it worked on Letterman.

I just sent an email to each of the newspeople on my local CBS station notifying them that we were boycotting every program and their sponsors.

GET WITH IT, FREEPERS!! FLOOD ‘EM OUT WITH EMAILS!!

I have not watched network news since the early 1980’s and do not think I have missed a thing.

The stunning part in all this is they don’t even try to hide it anymore.

At least now I know what network to block from my digitally enhanced, government-run, TV.

Check out your credit cards, if GE Financial is the owner of the card, you are getting to pay for this crap indirectly.

Why do you think they haven’t been pushing for the “Fairness Doctrine” more?

“exclude opposing voices on the debate.”

This from the party that wants to force the “Fairness” Doctrine down our throats......

I don’t have to provide proof for my stating that the hard-left is currenly in charge of our country.

They prove it on a daily basis.

The problem is that “high-road”, “It can’t happen here”, “everything will be fine after the next election” Republicans/Conservatives ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO ACCEPT REALITY.

I KNOW what is happening, folks. This is NOT just another election cycle.

They are positioning themselves to take control.

And you think all of this is about health care? This is about domination, folks.

If they are able to achieve their goals with health care “reform” then everything else they want will be delivered right to their doors.

Once they control your bodies, and that much of the economy, the paradigm shifts by default, and the United States of America IS DEAD, DEAD, DEAD! And it will never return to its former glory.

You won’t like the left-wing mutant of a country that will remain after they have had their way with it, trust me.

It is crucial that you understand the following: The left is as arrogant as any time in history. They believe they can temper their “kind-hearted” socialism/fascism. They believe they can stop it from slipping further towards opression—they cannot.

The universe recognizes principles, not kind wishes. Once we sacrifice one human to another, in any way, shape, form, or degree, we set in motion anti-human, anti-life forces that will feed on, and consume wholly, both the opressor and the opressed. It CANNOT BE CONTROLLED, OR CONTAINED.

Many, many great thinkers, politicians, and powerful leaders have tried, and millions have died, attempting to bring this lie called socialism/communism/fascism into reality. It is a cancer that, once started, cannot be controlled.

Their aims are so “kind-hearted”, and “pure”, how can they be wrong?

They are wrong, very wrong, and you and yours WILL PAY DEARLY for the unintended consequences.

The only possible end to their ideaology, if drawn out to its inevitable end, is the death of millions.

They believe they will end poverty—they will make it much, much worse.

They believe they will end war—they will cause war.

They believe to get rid of the “right-wing”, or the “evil” Republican, or capitalist, will save them—they forget that the enemy that rises with the defeat of the right will be more hard-left, more vicious, more murderous than they could ever imagine. And they will lose to that enemy—GUARANTEED! That enemy, in the past, labeled them “useful idiots”, and then quickly dispatched them.

Consider the opposite idealogy and its effects—INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM.

Consider the United States of America and what has been achieved here by such a small number of people.

It is so beautiful to behold. The idea of freedom IS PERFECT. It is what the universe intended for these creatures called humans. The only alternative is stagnation and death.

The Founder’s held freedom as sacred, AND IT IS! It is your birthright, your natural state.

Don’t let them take it from you and those you love, no matter how “noble” their intentions.

In terms of our liberty, the BIGGEST BATTLE IN AMERICAN HISTORY is taking place RIGHT NOW.

We had better get our sh*t together before it’s too late, Americans.

Look for Obama to nationalize the media next.

That won't happen. If he did that, then Republicans could gain control of it by winning the Presidency. The Liberal Messiah wouldn't never take that risk.
