Yeah, to me this is a sign that the left is very organized and was ready to mobilize quick to campaign to those advertisers. Why does it not seem like our side is organized enough to respond in kind? It seems like the leftists are ready to march in lockstep when they get the order but trying to mobilize conservatives is like herding cats.
Sorts is funding the grunt work, and the media creates the story.
There’s no easy solution, but a rare, extremely clever candidate can take them on directly. Newt can do it. Sometimes Santorum does. Sarah was pretty good, too.
The media has it cranked up to 11. We’re in a fight for our lives. It’s too late to establish the run. We have to throw deep, and often.
Because we don't have a 501c3 that conservatives can act as watchdogs through. REad the about page at Media Matters and tell me what part of the First Amendment they don't violate.
Because they've been sitting on ready to pounce on Limbaugh the first chance they got. I believe the MSM has been working with the Obama administration for months on this, to be ready when Obama came out with the HHS mandate, and picked his fight with the Catholic Church.
And this is something to mention, if we contact any of these companies. The woman who made her statements to the Democrats, because it wasn't a Congressional hearing, began attending Georgetown only a couple of months ago, and went to the school expressly to start agitating against their policy NOT to provide contraception to students through their health insurance plan. She is a Reproductive Rights Activist, and that is the group for which she was making her statement the other day. She is trying to force Georgetown to provide contraceptives, and so is thrilled about the HHS mandate.
George Soros has funded many organizations that help attack the advertisers with pre-organized callers who enlisted even before they knew the target. You’ve got Media Matters feeding the media the propaganda and then MoveOn.org, etc. co-ordinating the calls and activism. Conservatives need to form similar organizations and do it better.
Where do we go to organize a boycot against these advertisers? Does anyone know?
