Reply #185: Barry is right

[pollo poco]

If no celebrities appear on FOX, then no one will watch. Some say that Barry should nail the Neocon Bimbo to the wall, but he's a singer, not a TeeVee personality. These days, to be interviewed you have to yell. Why would Barry want to do that?

People who want to support the restoration of our democracy should not appear on FOX. Celebrates who want to raise the standards of TeeVee debate above that of a stupid schoolyard shoutfest should not participate in these programs. It's a trap.

We pressured the dem candidates to stay away from FOX, because we do not want to legitimize our enemies. If Manilow has (correctly) identified FOX as the enemy of our nation, or (correctly) as the enemy of his friend O'Donnell, then he should not appear there.

Its called integrity. If people would show some, FOX would be over. And on that subject: why are we watching FOX? Why are we helping them with their evil empire? Show some class, like Barry. Refuse to participate.

By the way, I have never been a big fan of Manilow, but I know two people who have toured with him (a musician and a wardrobe technician). They both speak very well of him. It seems integrity is personality trait that Manilow actually possesses in abundance. His public stand is consistent with the way he runs his organization, and the way he treats people. I'm sure the same is true of Hasselbeck. No one should talk to her at all until she learns some manners. No one should listen to her either. One poster is complaining that not tuning in will stifle the debate. But that poster watches too much TeeVee. The View does not offer debate. What it does offer- a fake debate, framed by a fascist network, for the express purpose of promoting fascism - should be stifled, once and for all.

Friends don't let friends watch FOX.
Go Barry- you make me proud. I'll buy your record, just like I bought the Dixie Chicks'!
