MoveOn.org, et. al. would be a little more productive if they focused on advertisers who pour money into overtly racist and misogynistic programming than advertisers who simply use the least favorite of their big four networks.

Note also how many matches you get if you surf MySpace for MoveOn.org, which is also owned by Fox. Kind of makes you wonder why they want to scare the hell out of Sam's Diner for doing something they're doing themselves.

You have to be kidding me.

Daily Kos didn't start this, Big Bill did when he started going after the corporate sponsors of Yearly Kos like JetBlue. Daily Kos is just responding, giving Fox a taste of its own medicine.

Homer, I completely agree with you, oddly enough. However, it is also MY right to put a spotlight on their tactics. That way, a sponsor who is harased can hear from both sides.

However, I have no respect whatsoever for the Daily Kos crowd when they put pressure on the Democratic Nominees to keep their debates off of Fox. It is cowardly of the Democrats to do so as well as ignorant. If you live by the base, you die by the base as Rove found out last fall. You have to have a broader appeal to Americans in order to win elections. Only so many elections will be decided on anger. If you take the KOS crowd argument and say that FOX is nothing but a network for Conservatives, which is demonstrabley false as around half of its viewers are Democrats, then its an opportunity for Democratic candidates to make their views known to swing voters as Bill Clinton did in 92.

However, the rabble rousers and myopics are too stupid and angry to realize this.

I could not disagree with Bill O'Reilly when he called DailyKos a hate site. It basically is. I agree with most of the ideology behind the site, but I find it hard to read for this very reason.

Much of the political blogosphere is hate-based. O'Reilly himself plays to people's hatred quite often.

Cheap of him to target JetBlue for sponsoring Kos, though.

That is the problem with too many people right now. They frequent their own like minded sites, get the illusion that they carry more influence than they do or that more people agree with them than in reality, then go even further in their comments.

Of course, I remember DU when Tillman was killed. Several posters made comments applauding his death, saying he was the tool of imperialist corporations and it was a good thing. They were deleted after Limbaugh read them on the air.

As long as you admit that DailyKos is responding to Big Bill, and that you are responding to DailyKos to protect Mississippi businesses that are being harassed by liberal bloggers, I'm all fine.

Big Bill was within his rights, DailyKos was within their rights, and you're within your rights.

What a great country.

But I question your statistics on Fox. I've seen numbers showing that watching Fox News is a better predictor of voting Republican that if the person self-identifies as Republican or conservative. Given such a reality, I understand Democrats not wasting their time.

When you're bored, check out DailyKos and the tag "Mississippi." There's almost no attention to our state, outside of some Hurricane Katrina related topics and Cotton Mouth cross posting. I doubt our local businesses will be harassed. DailyKos just doesn't appeal to the people of Mississippi, even our Democrats.
