Home Depot dumps O’Reilly.

AMERICAblog reports that Home Depot has promised to no longer advertise on Bill O’Reilly’s website, after strong pressure for the company to drop its sponsorship. Fox Attacks releases a new film mocking Fox’s global warming denial. Watch it:

Keep the heat on by taking action here.

    By the time this is over, O’reilly will be hiding under his desk, rolle-up in the fetal position, crying for his loofah.

    Keep the pressure on Bill-o and FAUX NEWs’ advertisers!
    Aiding and abetting this treasonous administration emboldens the enemy!


  7. BARTLEBEE says:

    Well I’m shopping at HOME DEPOT!

    I always need stuff, but since they’re willing to dump O’Lielly, I think I’ll go buy some stuff I don’t need!

    Just for the hell of it.

    BAWAHAAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAAHAHAHA HOME DEPOT HERE I COME!


  8. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) says:

    Home Depot is no longer sponsoring a “tool”?? That’s got to hurt, Bill. What say you? …. Oh, never mind, I don’t care what you have to say.


  9. Crump's Brother says:

    Ah the free market!!! How’s that feel Bill?

    Kos does not propagate hate. Unless you equate hate with the truth!!

  11. Texasjuice says:

    I think Bill should move to France! Actually the French are TOO good for Bill. How about a villa in Croatia? The French have great trains, why, if they are so bad, do they have great trains, Bill?

    liberals are all for free speech has long has the agree with whats being said.

    And the right of companies to make their own decisions about where they want to spend their advertising dollars!


  16. Voltron says:

    Stalinism at work.
    OK we’re gonna go after sponsors of Keith Olbermann!
    Let’s see how you like that!


  17. BARTLEBEE says:

    The cool thing is Home Depot has such cool stuff.

    I can now go buy fun stuff, like a florescent work lamp on a chrome tripod, or a bosch hammer drill, and be patriotic at the same time.

    :D


  18. trueblue says:

    I clicked on the links but saw no list of O’Lielly’s advertisers.

    Can someone help?


  19. Voltron says:

    Are you gonna cry when we go after Olbermann’s sponsor?
    Hmmm?


  20. crimedog says:

    FNC is still number.BOR is still the most watch show on cable news.

    Your losing the battle, Liberal censorship will be defeated

    Go ahead. I hate advertising anyway. I think we need a new model for broadcasting.

    nobody watchs Olby so it wouldn’t matter much


  23. Egreggious, Esq. says:

    I liked when Stalin wrote a bunch of letters to the sponsor of the “Down With Stalin” show until they finally caved.

    JetBlue, anyone?


  24. trueblue says:

    I haven’t really forgiven Home Depot for the sub-contractors’ scandal.

    Think I’d rather stick with Lowe’s, who BTW dropped their advertising first.

    JMO

    UHHHHHH, I think all the sponsors of Keith O already know his audience demographics, so nothing will change.

    Faux NoNooz will soon be called Fox Opinion Network.

    Comment by Voltron — July 31, 2007 @ 2:26 pm

    There’s nothing Stalinist about the free market deciding where it’s profitable to advertise based on popular opinion. That’s what’s known as “capitalism” and “democracy.”

    Why do you hate capitalism and democracy so much?


  28. crimedog says:

    toasterhead – why do you and liberals hate free speech?


  29. RUCerious says:

    toaster, yeah, it’s like they don’t get what sponsorship is all about.
    Maybe they’d like to tell Nike that their pulling Vick products is Stalinist???


  30. Voltron says:

    upside00,
    Ok so we’re gonna go after Olbermann’s sponsors!

    Hey by the way if Fox is opinion, then MSNBC is Leftisty Propaganda!


  31. BARTLEBEE says:

    Oh look.

    Its Voltron.

    The not a troll right wing friendly trucker, who just happened to pop up in yet ANOTHER liberal blog.

    But you’re not a troll, right Doltron?


  32. Crump's Brother says:

    crimedog,

    “liberals are all for free speech has long has the agree with whats being said. censorship rules!!!!!”

    YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!! Bill O started this little spat by trying to get JetBlue not to ’sponsor’ the yealrykos convention. So it’s ok with you if Bill and the rest of you right wing whackos play by these rules, but if those on the left do it, you call it censorship? Get real!


  33. Crump's Brother says:

    crimedog,

    Why does Bill O’Reillly hate free speech?


  34. Egreggious, Esq. says:

    toasterhead – why do you and liberals hate free speech?

    Comment by crimedog — July 31, 2007 @ 2:37 pm

    Bill can find himself some new sponsors. What’s the big deal?


  35. Egreggious, Esq. says:

    Hey by the way if Fox is opinion, then MSNBC is Leftisty Propaganda!

    Comment by Voltron — July 31, 2007 @ 2:40 pm

    I’m watching MSNBC then!


  36. a patriot acting says:

    crimedog-

    No problem with free speech as long as they label themselves as the propaganda machine for the corrupt right that they are! News is supposed to be about facts not opinion.

    “free and balanced” describes Chimpie’s diet more than it does this joke of a network and their lap dog Bill-o.
    I’m sure you didn’t mind when BOR unjustifiably went after JetBlue.


  37. Egreggious, Esq. says:

    Wingnuts,

    Write to home Depot and tell them you will boycott their store until they bring back their BO sponsorship.

    Quit whining.


  38. toasterhead says:

    toasterhead – why do you and liberals hate free speech?

    Comment by crimedog — July 31, 2007 @ 2:37 pm

    We don’t. We like free speech. We just happen to believe that any free speech that calls itself “journalism” has a responsibility to be factually accurate.


  39. a patriot acting says:

    Sorry, meant to say “FAIR and balanced”


  40. Ret. Col. Jack Ripper says:

    Troll: “liberals are all for free speech has long has the agree with whats being said.

    How soon these mentally-challenged trolls forget what started this current exercise. Bill’s henchman attacked Jet Blue for being a sponsor of the blogger convention and Jet Blue pulled their sponsorship. Bill is just getting a little of what he’s been dishing out.

    And, by all means complain to MSNBC about Olberman and confront his sponsors. It’s a free country.


  41. Voltron says:

    Ok,
    Well Lefties don’t cry when we target Olbermann’s sponsors.
    What’s fair is fair, right?


  42. BARTLEBEE says:

    Are you gonna cry when we go after Olbermann’s sponsor?
    Hmmm?

    Comment by Doltron — July 31, 2007 @ 2:28 pm

    Well considering about 2 3rds of the country are opposed to the war in Iraq and Bush, thus they are opposed to O’lielly, and since most of O’lielly’s audience consists of old people in doublewides with few dollars and even less sense, I’d say go for it.

    Bring it on.


  43. toasterhead says:

    Ok,
    Well Lefties don’t cry when we target Olbermann’s sponsors.

    Comment by Voltron — July 31, 2007 @ 2:44 pm

    You still haven’t explained why you hate capitalsim and democracy.


  44. Ret. Col. Jack Ripper says:

    crimedog: “why do you and liberals hate free speech?”

    You might have asked O’Reilly why he hates free speech when he harassed the CEO of Jet Blue about his sponsorship of the blogging convention, but I’m guessing it didn’t occur to you.


  45. Voltron says:

    BARTLEBEE,
    ho’s Doltron?
    I’m Voltron.
    Like the Japanimation series back in the 80’s?

    But you forgot to mention most of Olbermann’s audience are Jihadist sleeper cells and their Leftist collaborators!


  46. RUCerious says:

    “Well Lefties don’t cry when we target Olbermann’s sponsors.”

    Have at it dogmeat, both of you! Should make a huge impact…

    But I’m always crying anyway. Haven’t you noticed?


  48. BARTLEBEE says:

    Its funny to listen to you worms crying.

    The right wing along with Oreilly worked like the devil to destroy the career of three incredibly talented young women, called the Dixie Chicks, because they dared to voice opinions contrary to yours.

    Now, like the cry babies you are, you’re in here, crying because one store chain drops that walking sack of crap, O’lielly.

    What a bunch of sissies.


  49. RUCerious says:

    Sounds like Voltron got about 120 joules this morning when his electric gumbrush shorted out…


  50. BARTLEBEE says:

    Write to home Depot and tell them you will boycott their store until they bring back their BO sponsorship.

    Lowe’s withdrew before that. Maybe you should look in the mirror to see a mentakky challenged troll


  52. Egreggious, Esq. says:

    If Olberman’s sponsors are attacked by the right wing, we will of course be letting those sponsors know how we feel about it.

    I hope that doesn’t qualify as crying.

    It’s catching….

    *sobbing*


  54. Ret. Col. Jack Ripper says:

    Voltron, the first modern movement to punish corporations for sponsoring things people didn’t agree with was Anita Bryant’s boycott of Florida orange juice over gay rights. Before that, I remember conservatives burning and destroying Beatles albums because they didn’t like something Lennon said. More recently, conservatives have often used this as a political tool. O’Reilly, Savage/Weiner, Hannity, Bortz, Coulter and Limbaugh have all, at various times, called for boycotts of certain products because of politics…. so, what the hell are you whining about?

    Comment by Voltron — July 31, 2007 @ 2:47 pm

    In case you haven’t noticed, Jihadist groups are actually very conservative. Some of their leaders have even issued fatwas against liberals. Makes you wonder who their collaborators really are. Certainly not the conservatives who armed and funded them in the 1980s and are helping them recruit now.

    And before that, the Right persuaded CBS to cancel “The Reagans”.

    Is that your argument? “They did it first”?

    Why don’t you lay it on the table: is it okay to pressure a media company or a sponsor to drop programming because of its content, or isn’t it?

    If it is, then STFU. If it isn’t, then you guys have some ’splainin’ to do too.

    al Qaeda’s greatest collaborator is GW Bush. He’s given them almost everything Osama demanded in the late 90’s. Bases out of Saudi Arabia? Check. Remove the “secular dictator” from control of Iraq? Check. Lay down on the job and allow a spectacular al Qaeda attack to proceed successfully? Check. Beef up al Qaeda recruiting around the world. Check. No wonder they love Bush so much and always seem to be supporting him around election time.

    you say acting consistent with free speech. wouldn’t it be more free if you let O’Reilly say whatever he wants and let the people decide for themselves?

    Is it okay for Christians to band together to boycott the sponsors of anything that promotes any other religion or atheism?

    Wouldn’t it signal a lack of faith in the ideology? That’s what you’re doing.

    If your ideas are strong, you shouldn’t be afraid of what Bill O’Reilly has to say.

    Enough is enough.

    When people in mass communications lie on a nightly basis to drive an agenda that the majority disagrees with how can they survive? They don’t. His time has long come & gone.

    Wow. What a bankrupt collection of trolls. They don’t understand the concept of “censorship”, they don’t understand the concept of “free speech” and they hate capitalism and democracy.

    But at least they subscribe to the bedrock value of the conservative movement: IOKIYAR.

    Well, kids, the “market” has come to a decision…and all I’m hearing from the idiot right are cries of “censorship!”.

    Funny how it wasn’t “censorship!” when Air America was in question…then, it was “let the market decide!”.

    Because they ARE afraid of him.

    People don’t fear liars, like Bill O’lielly. They hate and despise him, but they don’t fear him. His words are lies, and lies are always exposed.

    But liars fear the truth. And since Olberman’s show offers facts the right wing is terrifed of his words.

I don’t care if it’s some industry-sponsored shill spilling oil propaganda, why do you say the movie has been “de-bunked?” If you can’t go any farther than your simple claim, thinking people are going to have to conclude that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    JammieWearingFool, your blog suffers from a common problem: assertion without documentation.

All that’s left is your silly projection of how you think liberals react to things. That’s nothing but rank, uninformed opinion which is, evidently what you get when you go to your silly blog.


  200. muckdog says:

    Col. Jack Ripper, I have provided many links in the past. Maybe you don’t know how to click on links. Are you waiting for the government to set up a social program to click the links for you?

    Here are some for you:

    Global warming hysterics trumped by physics. (This may be the best link of all).

    Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts.

    Scientists respond to Gore’s warnings of climate catastrophe.

    Latest scientific studies refute Greenland ice melt claims.

    Climate extremism.

    And for fun:

    Another parking lot being measured for climate change.


  201. Probus says:

    O’Reilly doesn’t deserve to be on air anywhere. He maligns abuse victims, and murder victims. He has maligned our patriotic troops who died at Malmady. He was wrong to do so. He often says things that are racist, sexist and biased. He has no credibility as he was himself accused of sexual harassment. The lawsuit was settled out of court. Also he routinely lies on his show. His attitude towards the brilliant Mr. Olbermann is often childish and petty. Other advertisers should all be encouraged to pull advertising from his show.


  202. Ret. Col. Jack Ripper says:

    Muckdog, if I gave you an article about something and it was from The Progressive Daily, you would dismiss it as liberal. Michael R. Fox is part of the Townhall.com crew which includes Coulter, Savage/Weiner, Limbaugh and Hannity. Is Michael R. Fox as dependable as his co-workers? So you’ve got this guy against 99% of the world’s climatologists. Let’s just say I’d be skeptical.


  203. Ret. Col. Jack Ripper says:

    And, Muckdog, your “scientist” in the Canadian Free Press article cites Michael Chricton as one of his sources…. BZZZZZZZZZZ! Sci Fi author vs. most of the world’s scientists? Again, I’m very skeptical.


  204. muckdog says:

    Jack, I can’t help it if you’re stupid. I gave you some links. There are thousands more out there that refute the claims of global warming hysterics.

    If all you can do is attack the author or source instead of the science, then I’m afraid you’ll have to live in ignorance.

    And clearly you did not read the links anyways. Otherwise you’d realize how dumb you sound when you cite “most of the world’s scientists.” It’s simply not true.

    There is a one-word answer on why man has nothing to do with global warming: Physics.

    On my side is physics and science. On your side is a cult-like belief in something that cannot be proven.

    Comment by muckdog

    On your side is a retired nuclear professor who isn’t a climatologist.

    He says;
    Now we have learned much more based upon observations of cosmic radiation, their sources, and the Sun’s magnetic fields, combined and new discoveries in the laboratory. A new and more comprehensive understanding of our planetary environment has emerged. This gives us a scientifically defensible explanation of both global warming.

    First off the Suns solar radiation hasn’t changed enough to affect the earths atmosphere. The oceans act as a heatsink to maintain it. The Suns magnetic field is about as strong as a refrigerator magnet.
    These are not new. He does not tell what these new laboratory studies are. he doesn’t speak of the thermohaline conveyor. Or El ninas and El ninos.

    He also doesn’t speak about a comet that likely exploded in our atmosphere 13,000 years ago that sent manking running for the caves and set the upper hemisphere on fire. The real armegeddon your bible talks about. Fire and Brimstone coming from the sky. People and animals igniting into flames.
