FYI

[chicagolady]

Where can Freepers ADD to the number of complaints!!????

[AppyPappy]

YES!!!! It's about time,

[1Old Pro]

Didn't he write a well known book, D'Souza that is.

[dbbeebs]

KTRK said it received a number of calls -- "in the low hundreds," the station said. The station said it
receives triple that amount when it pre-empts a soap opera. It had no further comment.

This says it all. Nothing will happen. No changes will occur

[zook]

Funny thing: I just looked at ABC's transcript of Monday night's show, and it appears they've taken out the offensive comments. (Unless I missed them in my quick skimming.)

[alaskanfan]

It's about time that these idiots start feeling some financial repercutions when they choose to promote an un-American agenda.

[abnegation]

I knew there was a reason I have never watched this show...

[rintense]

Good. This bastard just sealed his own fate with such remarks. Bye, bye, PI...

That just proves that almost nobody watches Maher's show. And Heaven forbid that the daytime couch potatos shouldn't be able to watch the soaps! Get up off yer lazy butt and do something useful!

[Nuke'm Glowing]

I don't watch this garbage but would love a list of advertisers if available. THANK YOU Fed-Ex you get all my business now.

[VoodooEconomist]

I always knew Bill Maher sucked out loud. Does Judicial Watch still consider this @sshole a friend?

[TheGoodDoc]

Who are the other sponsors of this wonderful little TV show?

What are their e-mails so that we might express our joy and satisfaction?

I personally want to do everything I can to assist Mr. Maher and would love to send lots of e-mails in his behalf.

[Bitman]

ABC issued a statement saying, in part, that Politically Incorrect "celebrates freedom of speech and encourages the animated exchange of ideas and opinions. Understandably, this forum can oftentimes arouse intense emotions, especially during such a sensitive time.

I have an idea AND an opinion...

Idea = Don't watch ABC.

Opinion = Shows are garbage.

[Benrand]

I watched him last night, David Horowitz was on, Maher appeared to be holding back.

[BurkeanCyclist]

Dinesh D'Souza's point was correct: the people we are fighting are not cowards, and insisting that they are is a good way of getting our servicemen killed.

To say that they are not cowards is not to say that they are admirable, or to minimize the atrocity that they committed.

[freeper12]

Better yet, don't watch it, and boycott all advertisers and all abc owned businesses. (i.e. disney)

[seamus]

You must mean this classic:

Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader, by Dinesh D'Souza

[VoodooEconomist]

I always suspected the Bill Maher was a left-wing blame-America First-er. I hope this stupid clown gets his show pulled. He's a pathetic excuse for a human being. Politically incorrect, my @ss!
