Obama Supporters: Boycott SNL

[NMMatt]

I think we can all agree that SNL has become part of the Clinton team's media echo chamber at this point. With Tina Fey giving pro-Clinton weekend updates (she's the lead writer, no?), skits portraying Obama as unintelligent, and in on the Clinton's "media bias" meme that they use to manipulate the coverage of news shows to present a pro-Clinton slant. Clinton herself, of course, appeared on the show and cited the show in the last debate.

I invite all my fellow Obama supporters to write NBC and tell them that we are no longer watching their show, and of course, boycott SNL as well. Nothing scares the networks more than losing the young demographic so a mass of letters from younger people should grab their attention.

1. And the Daily Show and Colbert Report aren't anti-clinton? It works both ways n/t

[NMMatt]

8. Of course those shows are actually funny -nt

[Honeycombe8]

55. I don't think so. I don't watch every show, but I've seen many shows where they made fun of Obama.

Playing singing angels when his picture appears on the back screen and such. Same thing that SNL does.

I have not seen any bad remarks against Clinton. Not saying there haven't been. There probably have been, since there have been satires against Obama. Just that I haven't seen any.

The worst thing of all, though, is NOT to be made fun of at all.

Supporters should get a sense of humor.

[Joe the Revelator]

2. Apparently you didn't watch it tonight.

[TexasLady]

5. That's what I was thinkin'

[yurbud]

40. can you give a quick synopsis of offending material?

[Neshanic]

3. That would be GE, and you know they bring good things to life.

[Maddy McCall]

4. So they lose people who never watched the show anyway....

and gain Hillary supporters.

I think I'll write them to tell them that SNL has been beeter than ever the past few weeks. Thanks for the idea!

[lligrd]

6. How Can I Boycott Something I Never Watch

I really think SNL's time has come and gone and the sooner they realize it the better.

[Window]

52. LOL! That's exactly what I was going to post.

[LadyVT]

7. Yes, boycott anyone in the media who disagrees with you. Of course, that's

got NOTHING to do with democracy. Nothing whatsoever. But go ahead. Silence all the voices you can.

[annie1]

9. lol. Are you the person who went on a hunger strike over Sanjaya?

[NMMatt]

14. I have no idea what you are talking about -nt

[Egnever]

10. Think I am gonna pass on that

I havent watched em for years but I have no problem with them poking fun at Obama. I hope they get to continue it for years to come.

Like 8

[Radical Activist]

11. No. They've done pro-Obama skits too.

Tonight and in previous weeks.

[olkaz]

12. JESUS EVER-LOVING CHRIST

Do you not remember how the Clinton supporters went apeshit on Keith Olbermann this week?

Remember how we all thought that was ridiculous?

Now, YOU'RE doing it. To SNL.

[NMMatt]

13. I'm not going apeshit at all

Just a rational choice to fight back against the Clinton message machine.

[olkaz]

16. calling for a boycott is more than they did

So I'm gonna go ahead and say you're going apeshit as well.

[theredpen]

15. I like Amy Poehler

...and several of the other current cast members. I think they're funny.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

24. She's great isn't she?

I was rolling on the floor during the news segment tonight when she broke out into a parody of the Ghostbusters song.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

17. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! Funniest Damn Thing I've Heard Tonight!

Oh, the melodrama. ONLY ON DU!!!!!

[Skittles]

21. are these people for f***ing real?????????

OMG

[TreasonousBastard]

18. If you don't mind, I'll just boycott dumb ideas.

[Hippo_Tron]

19. This Obama supporter says you need to get a life

[ingac70]

20. Interesting fact about Lorne Michaels.. donates to McCain

http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/L...

2000 bucks worth of donations to John McCain 2008.

[RamboLiberal]

32. H'mmm - so maybe he's part of the great Repuke

Limbaugh conspiracy to help Hillary cause they think she's the easiest for McCain to beat!

[MonkeyFunk]

45. And he gave more to Chris Dodd

[mrreowwr_kittty]

22. Sorry, but I'm an Obama supporter and I didn't think the sketches were that bad.

They were clearly mocking both of them. As for a pro-Clinton bias, it probably has more to do with Amy Poehler doing a great impression of her than an actual interest in the outcome of the primary.

[spag68]

46. mades sense to me lighten up people have some fun

[Beregond2]

23. SNL

I agree that they went too far in the direction of bias the past two weeks, but I have already told them my opinion about that, and I'm sure they will even it out in time.

[meow mix]

25. i agree boycott Hillary Night Live

now ill never watch it and tell others not too

[NMMatt]

27. Make sure to leave a comment on NBC's website -nt

[Eurobabe]

26. Never watch is anyhow, moot point.

[istopforcookies]

29. I must boycott SNL

I must boycott SNL.

I must boycott SNL.

I must boycott SNL.

Oh wait.

I must boycott The Daily Show.

I must boycott The Colbert Report.

I must boycott FOX News.

I must boycott CNN.

I must boycott...

Go Hillary Rodham Clinton Go!

[libbygurl]

38. LOL, good points made! nt

[bhikkhu]

28. Way ahead of you I started my boycott in 1980.

They just weren't funny enough to stay up late anymore, and now I don't watch television at all.

That kind of takes the sting out of my letter to NBC though...

[Tribetime]

30. that will be really hard for me to do

....okay you talked me into it. Now I can do something I really enjoy much more....stabbing mysely in the eye with a pen.

[blogslut]

31. Lighten up

It's just a comedy sketch show. You don't have to watch it idf you don't want. I sugeest your direct your ire not at the jesters, but rather the court.

[Political Heretic]

33. Nope. I won't. I don't get into this knee-jerk bullshit.

This is no different than the people that are now trashing KO because he is tough with Clinton.

SNL is free to express their opinions, and I don't mind them doing so. I really hate the way primary seasons causes everyone to make knee-jerk "disownments" of everything under the sun if they don't all march in perfect lock-step.

[shadowknows69]

34. SNL is still on the air?

[libbygurl]

35. LOL. At least they're funny. SNL mocks all comers. nt

[barack the house]

36. I weigh up the data and I would say it influences zero votes issues do NAFTA GOT BARACK.

[barack the house]

37. I weigh up the data and I would say it influences zero votes issues do nafta lie got

... all in all Barack last week. Althogh he did very well despite it.

[Tarheel_Dem]

39. I'm on your side, but dude you're in way too deep. Pull up. nt

[fujiyama]

41. LOL I suppose I am already

but my reasons are a lot simpler. I just don't think it's funny or has been, for several years now.

As for Tina Fey, I still think she's very creative and talented - I've seen a few episodes of Thirty Rock and I found it be pretty funny. Everyone has their biases and I personally can excuse them - well to the point at which they cease to be funny ala Dennis Miller.

[Jillian]

42. Oh come on - they slammed Hillary pretty good tonite too.

[Gore1FL]

43. I haven't watched it since the 1970s...

[MonkeyFunk]

44. You people have gone even more insane

than usual. it's a comedy show.

And no, Tina Fey doesn't work for SNL anymore.

[CatnHat]

47. Goes to show

the mentality of the Obama crowd. My cat has more brains.

[WTyler]

48. Can't boycott what I don't watch

SNL hasn't been funny in at least a decade.

[DrDan]

49. demand an apology . . . .

how dare they exercise their free speech rights . . . .

how dare they portray the candidates in a humorous fashion . . . particularly OBAMA!!!!!!

(Good Lord - this is really getting ridiculous . . . and somewhat infantile . . . true middle-school-like . . .)

[JoFerret]

50. Babies

Stop whining

[Perry Logan]

51. What are they supposed to do--read a book or something?

[yourguide]

53. Ive been boycotting them for years

because the show sucks, has nothing to do with HRC.

[youknowmenotdlc]

56. It's all good

SNL has every right to poke fun at whoever they like, but lets hope that after Obama becomes the nominee they turn their attention to Mclame.

I wonder if they will portray Cindy like they did Kitty Dukakis?

[Honeycombe8]

54. I don't watch SNL, anyway. So I guess I'm part of the boycott w/o meaning to be. nt
