DUmmies Campaign to "Turn Off Fox"
Things just aren't going good for the DUmmies during this "Recovery Summer." Democrats poll numbers way down, leftwing anger with Obama, and the spectacular epic fail of Recovery Summer. So what to do? Blame Fox News for their woes as you can see in this THREAD, "'Turn Off Fox'...Campaign to get Fox News turned off in stores, restaurants, & other public places." Yeah, reality hurts the Left so much that they can't bear to watch it even briefly when exposed to Fox News in public places so they are laughably trying to TURN IT OFF. So let us now watch the DUmmies screech to "Turn Off Fox" in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that Megyn Kelly turns me on, is in the [brackets]:
"Turn Off Fox"...Campaign to get Fox News turned off in stores, restaurants, & other public places
[To be replaced by Al Jazeera?]
Have you ever looked up at the television at a local business -- your gym, an auto shop, a bar or restaurant -- only to find Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly shouting down at you? Often without thinking about it, many businesses and other public establishments are providing a vehicle for Fox News' attempts to divide America. Now you can do something about it.
[Stand by for the laugh lines.]
Today, ColorOfChange.org is launching Turn Off Fox -- a massive campaign to get Fox News turned off in stores, restaurants, and other public places.
There are several ways you can get involved:
[DUAC! DUAC!]
Join the campaign by signing our petition calling on businesses in your community and across America to turn off Fox News Channel (you'll also get a free TurnOffFox sticker!)
Know of businesses or other public places that play Fox News? You can help us identify them, and if you're willing to talk with them, we provide materials that make it easy to explain why they should change the channel.
[Will this earn me my Jr. Thought Police merit badge?]
If there are businesses you know that want to tell the world they would never play Fox, you can help them declare themselves a "Fox-free zone."
[aka "Thought-free zone."]
Please check out TurnOffFox.org, join us, and get involved!

[It's going to be FUn to see who has these bumper stickers on their cars. I always love to see what kind of loons are driving with those stickers. Now on to the "free speech" DUmmies...]
So if Fox goes away. Where would you send your friends who are looking for unbiased news? MSNBC is out, they are just as biased as Fox. So what out there is unbiased enough to give people access to real factual news and allows people to think for themselves?
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL! Your tombstoning has already begun!]
al jazeera english and BBC both do commendable jobs of dispassionate and objective reporting.
[LOL! Thanx for the leftwing loon laugh line!]
Democracy Now, CBC Radio, BBC World Service
[No fear that people will actual listen to those in public places.]
Who watches TV in a restaurant? Sports bars should have sports on. Restaurants, if they must have something on, should have the Food Network on. That always makes me hungry!
[Good point. About the only public place I have ever LISTENED to TV has been in laundromats and I don't use them any more. (I've got some great Tide coupons!)]
There is also pacifica news, which is a loose affiliation of radio stations that pool their money to provide good reporting.
[A loose affiliation with their screws loose.]
MSNBC is biased toward the truth, not filthy, lying right-wing propaganda.
[Ed Schultz loves MSNBC so much that it threatened to go postal and TORCH it recently. ]
Clean the airwaves of anti-American, hate-soaked agitprop.
[Why do you hate MSNBC which Ed Schultz wants to torch?]
If they don't get to watch fox do we not get to see MSNBC?
[If you can't see MSNBC it is because Ed Schultz has torched it.]
Living the Liberal Bubble that is the Soviet of Seattle I never see FOX on in ANY establishment.
[Great description. Soviet of Seattle.]
We also need to push for restoration of restrictions on media consolidation and of the Fairness Doctrine, and above all for net neutrality.
[Don't be shy. Just say what you really mean. Scream it out. CENSORSHIP!!! There, don't you feel better now?]
At my health club if I walk past a tv with fox on Ill reach up and turn it off, people get pissed off but who the f*** cares what those fox news drones have to say.
[A prime candidate for a sock in the jaw at his gym.]
And when this doesn't work do we hold a TV burning?
[A Kewpie Doll is in the mail to you.]
Let's all work to turn off FOX. They have turned my parents into hate spewing drones suddenly comfortable with all kinds of idiocy and bigotry. I can't stand FOX news....
[So turn on Ed Schultz and watch him torch MSNBC.]
Over a year ago I wrote a post saying that I politely ask the business to change the channel off of Fox when on in a public area. For some reason I was inundated with people defending Fox and one even said they would counteract me by asking Fox to be turned on. This was on DU. Still pisses me off when I think about it.
[If I'm not mistaken I think we DUFUed your thread which completely boomeranged on you.]
And yes, it seems, every place I go...FoxNooseChannel is blasting.
[Mommy! Make them stop blasting the truth!!!]
Nine TVS in the tread mill, etc. area and 3 of them have Faux news.
[EEK! The customers are being given a choice. Oh, the horror!]
Just sent off a copy of the white paper to the board of directors of my "active adult" community. I'm forced to keep my eyes on the ground the whole time I'm at the fitness center.
[Did you remember to put on your ear and brain plugs?]
I just walk up to it and change the channel ...f*ck em if they don't like it...I'll go someplece el. I'll just go some place else if they bitch.
[Another candidate for a jaw busting.]
When I was coming out from anesthesia about a year ago I woke up to Glen Beck screaming like Hitler in my ears. At first I was just stunned... I sat bolt upright and threw an uncharacteristic, melodramatic fit, that surprised even me; flailing my arms complete with all the post op plumbing losing the finger monitor and life monitors flying asunder, setting off alarms and mortifying the nurses as emergency staff rushed into the room. I told them to get that god damned Nazi crap away from my ears and out of my sight.
[At that point they re-applied the anesthesia so you could painfully wake up again on the other side of early November.]
Needless to say they scrambled to shut off the monitor by yanking the plug from its socket. One of the nurses came to calm me down and check the connections and reconnect the monitors;...."They don't listen to us" "Now the admins will stop this nonsense" I heard one of the nurses say to the the others while others appeared to agree. I was on a morphine drip, cranky from the pain of surgery, a little loopy, was fearless and had few inhibitions. Not a good time to fool with my senses.
[The nurses then decided to increase the morphine drip to the gushing flow rate.]
The next day when I became ambulatory, walking with the bottles and plumbing still attached to my veins, but now on rollers, I searched out the chief; And ask whether it was he who was forcing this right wing propaganda on his patients; Some even comatose but many just out of it.
[Did you have the enema tube attached to your mouth?]
If Obama really wanted to stop the propaganda and lies,
he would instruct his FCC chief to REINSTATE THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE. All of America would benefit. The American citizen could once again be honestly informed. Maybe that's the problem. An uninformed populace is much easier to manipulate.
[Hmmm... Fox News is cable so not subject to the FCC. But no matter. Go ahead and CENSOR.]

If the left had an actual agenda to promote, they would be so busy sharing their vision with America that there would be no time to attack Fox News, to blame Bush, or to obsessively ridicule and mock Beck or Palin.
I say everyone who reads this blog sign up at the website and get your free sticker. Than proceed to your nearest trash recepticle with it!
"Recovery Summer"
"US GDP Revised Downward to 1.6% for the Second Quarter"
Eat it, Democrats.
The tsunami is coming, and the shit is going to be washed out of Washington.
FUCK YOU RACISTS FACISTS!
I just bought an old, but still running, Chrysler CORDOBA in solidarity with my inlightined, evolvided progressives and MUSLIMS! WE WILL GET OUR MOSQUE WHERE WE WANT IT! The cherry on the Sunday IS THAT YOU RICH WHITE SHITS WILL PAY FOR IT!
AHHLUA AKBAR!
You know if it wasn't for the fact that the Moonbat who made that post on DU didn't have a slew of gutter language and had a coherent (tho unbelievably stupid) presentation of his viewpoint, I'd swear that was Troglaman The Guttersnipe. The thought process is exactly the same. But Guttersnipe can't ever be that coherent and is determined to drop some curse word ever other sentence if not every other word in his diatribes.
The Moonbats are getting craziers and crazier as their day of reckoning (Election Day 2010) draws closer and they hear the rumble of the incoming political tsunami that will destroy their current hold on power.
Damn,the DUmmies are such whining crybabies! "Waah! Faux News is giving me mental cooties. Waah!"
Fortunately, they're powerless, whining crybabies. Isolated and victims of group think, the DUmmies can't bear the fact that someone, somewhere, might be having impure political thoughts or expressing ideas they disagree with. It's revealing that DUmmies are so eager to silence the speech of others; it might be the influence of Skinner, the censor- in-chief or it could be an impulse that so easily springs into the minds of Leftists.
The next time a DUmmie encounters FOX he should clap his hands over his ears and shout "Nyah, Nyah, Nyah, can't hear you!" That's the level of intellectual discourse your average DUmmie brings to the conversation.
What? Nobody brought up Fox's Ick Factor, with host Bill O'Reilly?
Dummies are just pissed that Fox wouldn't let Dear Will on to discuss Cheney's indictment and push his book with the pedophile....
Read that entire thread, it's not just FOX the DUmmies hate. They're exposing their Stalinist roots. Whenever a leftist hears a dissenting voice his first impulse is to silence it.
That's it! Silence FOX, follow up with net neutrality, then reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. Mission accomplished, America is Olbermannized.
Yeah, like business owners are gonna make time to listen to a bunch of whining "look at these fucking hipsters". They'll probably throw them out the door.
The reason they play Fox in the first place is because they're businesses, a concept DU can't fathom let alone get a job at.
Between Cunt in Maine and the DUmmies, there's a bunch of crazy to laugh at tonight.
Scratch a DUmbass, find a fascist.
"That's it! Silence FOX, follow up with net neutrality" kat
What the fuck are you talking about, you loon? Do you actually think equating silencing Fox with net neutrality even makes sense?
There aren't many on the left that think FOX is a legitimate news organization. They're right. But, at the same time, FOX can say whatever the hell they want. Stating they're full of shit simply completes the conceptual circle of "freedom of speech".
And you're coming out against net neutrality, kat? Why's that? What do you think 'net neutrality' is? I would be interested to know.
Why, you ask? Because I already know you're so full of misinformed shit that you'll be backpedaling forever and making me, the mighty troglaman, look good. That's why.
I've seen steaming piles of dog crap that troglaman makes look good.
The way they sell net neutrality would be something I wouldn't mind, Oh Troggles, but unfortunately the way they want to implement it just gives the government more power that they quite frankly don't need and I don't want them to have. Anything that gives the government control over the flow of information is a bad thing, imo.
"...unfortunately the way they want to implement it just gives the government more power that they quite frankly don't need and I don't want them to have." troglanon
What the fuck are you talking about? What's scary about how the government wants to implement it? They're already implementing it, dumbass. We're already net-neutral.
Net neutrality has to do with being charged more for access and speed. If you're net-neutral, you don't want to be charged more for access. If you're not net-neutral, you're OK with being butt-fucked by Verizon and Google.
It really is that simple. And yet you stupid jackasses continue to want to bend over. Mind-boggling. I don't fucking get it. I admit it. I do not get it.
"What the fuck are you talking about, you loon?"
The fascist addiction by the reactionary left, you retarded marmoset.
"There aren't many on the left that think FOX is a legitimate news organization."
There are, however, many reactionary leftist who aer dumber than a sack of hammers.
Like you.
"I admit it. I do not get it."
We know, we know.
HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!
This is just to precious not to share:
From PPP.
"Polling on the Spill
The oil spill in the Gulf may be mostly out of the headlines now but Louisiana voters aren't getting any less mad at Barack Obama about his handling of it. Only 32% give Obama good marks for his actions in the aftermath of the spill, while 61% disapprove.
Louisianans are feeling more and more that George W. Bush's leadership on Katrina was better than Obama's on the spill. 54% think Bush did the superior job of helping the state through a crisis to 33% who pick Obama. That 21 point margin represents a widening since PPP asked the same question in June and found Bush ahead by a 15 point margin. Bush beats Obama 87-2 on that score with Republicans and 42-30 with independents, while Obama has just a 65-24 advantage with Democrats."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!
The Mook-In-Chief is going to go down in history as "Obama the Failure".

IIRC, didn't the dumbasscrats try this "Turn Fox Off" bullshit before? Like, maybe two years ago? How did that work out for them? Albert Einstein defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome." Assuming that is an accurate definition, the thread we are mocking is empirical proof that Liberalism is a Mental Disease. And, of course, we have had two of the most diseased Dummies comment already.
troglaman
Don't have a conniption you moron. I didn't raise the issue of "net neutrality" one of the DUmmies did, apparently thinking that it (and the Fairness Doctrine) were ways to silence FOX.
"There aren't many on the left who think Fox is a legitimate news channel."
No shit, but who cares what the left thinks. In fact, they don't think, that's why the Democratic Underground exists, it's an intellectual graveyard overseen by Dr. Skinner. You'd like it.
"I don't get it."
With your pre-set mind I'm not surprised.
BTW, "net neutrality" is not a done deal but an ongoing debate with both pros and cons.
Net neutrality has to do with being charged more for access and speed. That's what it's about.
Now, as usual, you make it about me, troglaman. Typical. You're incapable of understanding it's not political OR about troglaman. It's a matter of soaking you and I for more money.
You're either for it or against it.
If you're for net neutrality, you don't want to be charged for access and speed. If you're against it, you WANT to be charged more for access and speed.
You can complicate it as much as you want, but that's what it boils down to.
As always, you dumbshits will come up with some convoluted reason for being assfucked by Verizon and Google just like you did by wanting to be assfucked by the health-care insurance industry.
You fuckers don't think. That's a problem.
"You fuckers don't think."
Yes we do, we think you're an asshole.
No offense Krazy Kat, but I think you're just a tad off. We KNOW Troglaman's a world-class asshole; we THINK he's insane.
Ah, Troggie in pain. Do delicious. its almost like a symphony of sound as Troggie tries to make sense of his mental hysteria.
Continue, dear troggie, your sceams of anguish today amuse me.
Yeah, you had better put troggy's enema back in. His Recovery Summer isn't going too well. So much for the spirited defense of retarded economic policy, huh?
FWIW - that douchebag at DUland that turns the TV off Fox in the gym? Try that for real, fantasy boy, you get your ass beat. By girls.
"Yes we do, we think you're an asshole." kat
Brilliant. Bravely said. In the mean time, you're actually going to support paying more for internet access and internet speed because of what?
Tie the issue to the liberals and make it a socialist plot...then we can charge stupid fuckers whatever we want and they'll pay it...because the communists will take over if they don't.
They're counting on your stupidity. And they're right. It works. You bend over every fucking time. You want it.
The rest of the comments here, if there are any, will describe troglaman in widely unflattering ways while big media establishes another way to ream every one of us. And you'll cheer them on. It can't be described in any other way. Not truthfully.
So do it, cowards. Come out against neutrality. Say it loud. Take a stand so everyone can see what you want. Just say it.
If you do, I'll make you look like you have the intelligence of a hookworm. A chimp could do it. That's why...
You won't, of course. Not one pussy commenter here will come out against neutrality. Not one. Watch. Too scary.
Wimp-assed babies.
Whoa! the government is stepping in to cure all our Internet ills!
They're going to take one of the freest things on Earth, add some regulation, and make it even freer through mandate. Awesome!
And "why not" you might ask. after all, it worked so well with Ma Bell that we have zero reason to think it's not going to work on the Internet.
I mean, come on, Ma Bell was the most successful government monopoly of all time! Why it beat our educational system hands down when it came to retarding technological innovation, providing bad service and keeping prices and fees for telecommunications sky high!
All this under the extraordinarily competent hands of the FCC!
troggy, 4:31AM
"As always, you dumbasses will come up with some convoluted reason for being assfucked by Verizon and Google just like you did by wanting to be assfucked by the health care industry. blah, blah, blah
Hey dumbass! Google is one of the prime supporters of net neutrality.
BTW, the Congressional Black Caucus and many Blue Dog Dems have expressed concerns that net neutrality might slow down broadband deployment. You know, the deadening hand of federal regulation.
Too, anything supported by Al Gore, Al Franken, Moby, troglaman and the DU warrants skeptical
review.
"troglaman said...
"Yes we do, we think you're an asshole." kat
Brilliant. Bravely said."
Truth is like that.
I wonder if we can start a "Turn Off Troglaman" movement.
Yes, we can!
"They're going to take one of the freest things on Earth, add some regulation, and make it even freer through mandate. Awesome!" elrond
The government is not the entity wanting to regulate "the freest thing on Earth" you stupid dumbshit.
Let's make something clear - America is already net neutral. You're not paying extra for "the platinum plan" that allows unfettered access to the net. You're now either paying for access to the whole fucking thing or you're not. One or the other.
The government is not asking to regulate access. Corporations want to establish different levels of access and speed and charge you for them. Get that? Corporations, not government, want to regulate access and speed. Government is being asked to allow or not allow corporate interests to do so.
Why is this so fucking hard for you, elrond?
Here's what elrond is proposing - he's saying that if you oppose net neutrality, then you oppose government regulation that would NOT permit corporate interests to charge you MORE for access and speed. He WANTS corporate interests to have the freedom to regulate "freest things on Earth" and "add some regulation".
He supports it. He's fine with "The Copper Plan" (for $9.99), "The Bronze Plan" (for $29.99), the Silver Plan (for $49.99), the Gold Plan (for $89.99) and the Platinum Plan (for $109.99)...each one offering more and better access to the internet. In fact, he thinks that government intervention, which would NOT allow such differentiation, IS A BAD IDEA.
elrond supports the effort to charge you more and more for internet access. He DOES NOT support efforts to regulate it.
We're already net neutral but elrond wants to change that. He wants to raise your bill. He wants to allow communications companies to be able to force you to pay more for the one of "freest things on Earth".
Got that? Rhetorical question because of course you don't, you stupid cows.
Why do I even try?
Trooglaman presents a cartoon verison of net neutrality. Which is fitting since he's a joke.
"Trooglaman presents a cartoon verison of net neutrality. Which is fitting since he's a joke." headband
Maybe you could tell me where I'm wrong...but I already know you can't. Oh no.
Headband's a liar. And you thought he was your friend. He's not.
In fact, not one of you jackasses can prove me wrong. It's a no-brainer. Care to try?
Being AGAINST neutrality is being FOR regulation at a price. It really is that simple. You cannot prove differently.
That makes you an unquestionable dumbshit, headband, whether you think so or not.
You should tighten that baby up, my friend.
"Being AGAINST neutrality is being FOR regulation at a price. It really is that simple. You cannot prove differently." - Troglaman The Hate-Mongering Guttersnipe
So what?
I'd rather have that than the government regulating it, that's for damn sure.
Besides not everyone gets their INTERNET access through Verizon and Google, Guttersnipe, there are a whole host of providers so your whole argument about "corporations" owning everything is just another Everclear-fueled howling rant produced by power-slamming your head up your ass. My access is through the local cable company which is not some mega-corporation. Many others have similar access.
It helps if you have a clue about what the hell your howling about like a mad dog, Guttersnipe. Just once trying doing a little research and coming up with a coherent argument; power-slamming your head up your ass to produce one is a pathetic and worthless substitute but one you seem hell bent to continue to try to use.
Judge Green broke up Ma Bell because it was a monopoly and this was supposed to save us money. I went from paying $10.00 monthly for my phone to $25 at the time. Gee, good job, government. Knowing how great the government handles things, I could go from paying $39 (AT&T) to Lord knows what. Like Reagan said, the scariest words in the world are, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you". No, thanks. Keep your hands off my internet.
"I'd rather have that than the government regulating it, that's for damn sure." jerome
You'd rather have big business charging you more for internet access than have government limit big business from doing so?
That's what you want?
Just say yes or no, you blowhard. For once, just answer yes or no.
"No, thanks. Keep your hands off my internet (Mr Government)." susie
Those wanting to get their hands on the internet are Verizon, Google, etc.
If you can't understand this, then you're a fucking idiot. You're all fucking idiots.
The government, as we speak, is protecting you from being charged more for internet access.
The government's stance, as it has been since the internet came into being, is that those paying for it get access to THE WHOLE THING. Not just bits and pieces.
It's truly unbelievable how you stupid, moronic dumbasses can turn shit around to make it a GOOD thing to be assfucked by whatever corporate entity stands willing. It's a fucking phenomena. A stupid-I-love-to-be-ratfucked o-rama.
Stupid dumbasses. Army of Satan.
Your insane rant only makes us more suspicous of net neutrality.
While I think the language is beyond ridiculous on both sides, one thing that trog does have correct is his summation of the current state of net neutrality.
Think whatever you want about each other, but one fact is indisputable and that is that if the net neutrality rules are quashed by the millions internet giants are spending on lobbying congress, you will see your internet speed bottlenecked and throttled and you will see your search engines monitored and sites removed by companies like Google.
This is one instance where you want the FCC to regulate broadband. Unfortunately all the stalling has resulted in one big mess.
"Unfortunately all the stalling has resulted in one big mess." Bill
Yes. This is another example of you masochistic lemmings striving to believe in something that will ultimately hurt you. Rape you. You've somehow been talked into wanting it despite the indisputable fact that it will fuck you up.
The astonishing thing is that you want it. You want to be screwed. That or you're a bunch sheep to stupid to know you're being fudgepacked. It's one or the other.
Either way, it's a goddamn phenomena.
