bragging about his IRISH heritage for the IRA tourist bureau

The IRA has a tourist bureau? What'll those rascals get into next?

Time for NBC ("Nothing But Communism") to cancel this "Left Wing" wet dream.

We received an AR from someone who signed it in a way that made us think it was you, requesting us to shorten the title to what you see. Since we don't actually see who made the AR, we were snookered. Sorry.

See above.

We try to accomodate requests from the person who posted a thread, but we generally have to trust the name signed to an AR to do it.

Check out response #125. The self-appointed FR topic police Nazis are now stooping to FRAUD to get what they want.

I never perceived the show as anything more that an attempt to tell the American public how Clinton really operated. All those tough decisions, organized, focused, etc, etc. Legacy shaping, nothing more, nothing less.

"It was frustrating watching Gore try so hard not to appear smart in the debates. Why not just say 'Here's my f------ résumé, what do you got?' We're a completely fictional,nonpolitical show, but one of our motors is doing our version of the old Mad magazine 'Scenes We'd Like to See.' And so to an extent we're going to rerun the last election and try a few different plays than the Gore campaign did."

It's official! This guy's as big a liar as Clinton.

"Boycott the sponsors!"

Who ARE the sponsors? They need to be told they're paying for a Democratic campaign commercial - and should be held accountable for their donations by the FEC.

Thanks for answering my question about the original title. The thanks is a little late in coming, been over on the Olympic Closing Ceremonies thread. Rat bass turds at NBC actually cut away from the ending before any of the fireworks and went to local news! The tape delay network strikes one last blow, just another reason along with this Sorkin incident to banish NBC from my viewing. Besides, we all know that Sorkin's statements represent many of the NBC higher ups.

I've never watched the show. But the plot lines sound like left-wing drivel and smirking slaps at Republicans.

Sorkin is obviously venting his frustration that we the public are too "stoo-pid" to agree with his exalted opinions. We just don't get it, tee hee.

Someone should post that picture of the man with his head stuck up his a**. That's a clueless NBC executive. They can't or won't reign in their own mouth-flapping "stars".

I'm with you. NBC in on defense here, which doesn't happen all that often. This is a good opportunity to smack them. They are taking notice of the hate mail stacking up in their e-mail box.

that is awful....

Nice to know the moderators were hoodwinked....even I had a hard time believing they would have changed the title just for the heck of it....but had to accept it at the time earlier because well, it did get changed. I am glad to know it was somebody playing a trick who caused the problem.

If everyone will remember, Bill Maher was stomped down pretty hard with his comments. The success of our effort was due to calling and writing the SPONSORS.

Be polite. Be specific. Inform them you won't be buying their product or service, and you will be making sure friends and neighbors know about this as well.

For those of you who have seen the program, please list any of the sponsors.

You should also POLITELY call your local NBC affiliate, because they get the revenue from the local ads.

Also, it makes affiliates nervous when people call, and THEY will also call NBC.

I expect everyone on this thread to be busy tomorrow.
