Boycott the Discovery Channel Networks (Sign Petitions)
Edited on Thu Mar-25-10 08:18 AM by Ian David
This petition is to inform the Discovery Channel of our intentions to boycott the following channels in response to their decision to have Sarah Palin as the host of a nature show.

* Discovery Channel * TLC * Animal Planet * Discovery Health * Science Channel * Planet Green * Discovery Kids * Military Channel * Investigation Discovery * HD Theater * Turbo / FitTV * Discovery News * HowStuffWorks * TreeHugger * Petfinder * PetVideo * Discovery Education

Palin's policies, such as her lack of belief in evolution, are harmful to the scientific theory. She also has an ugly record of animal rights abuses. Her encouragement of aerial wolf hunting using a $150 bounty per wolf, was luckily overturned by the AK supreme court.

Discovery Channel US: Stop sponsoring hate-mongering Glenn Beck

Discovery Channel’s sponsorship of Glenn Beck contradicts the educational and character values that Discovery channel promotes. Glenn Beck has made numerous quotes which promote bigotry and violence. Please let Discovery know that it’s viewers deserve better

14. Well, after all, she really nailed those ridiculous fruit fly studies. Total scientific genius, that
one.

I trust I don't need to put the sarcasm icon here.

10. UNREC. No way. Better to have Palin on TV and out of politics.
Stalin was a failed poet, Hitler was a failed artist, Mussolini was a failed journalist.

Palin is a failed sportscaster.

Stalin disliked public speeches, because his "hillbilly accent" from Georgia was detected & mocked.

Hitler was a figure of ridicule to the Weimar Republic artists & intelligensia during the 1920s. Nazis were considered buffoons.

Keep this future dictator out of politics and on TV.

11. What do you think she'll use her million dollars an episode for?
To run for office again.

13. PLEASE READ...LET'S THINK ABOUT THIS?
As much as I utterly despise Palin due to her entire
character, I still say the following.  How can anyone sign
this without thinking? 

We have freedom of speech and everyone wants it. Signing this
is part of that freedom so maybe that's why. With all the
hatred on both sides I think everyone needs to take a step
back and check themselves. As mothers, fathers, daughters,
sons, lovers, friends, neighbors, humans etc. Too much madness
going on. 

***THIS PART WAS SENT TO BOTH PARTIES OR I WOULD REVISE IT(BUT
YOU'RE ALL SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW I DON'T NEED TO MAKE IT
LEFTIST. AS I FEEL THE LEFT IS PRETTY MUCH THE MORE
INTELLIGENT GROUP):  Ironic part is that some madness is she
has a show, but that's nothing compared to what else is going
on in the world. (Along w/, to me, the hipocracy of a petition
to sign it.)



PLEASE CHECK OUT A PAGE I CREATED ON FACEBOOK AS AN ATTEMPT TO
DISCUSS, DEBATE ETC. ALL ISSUES IN A LOGICAL MANNER.  CALLED
'WE MAY HAVE SOME THINGS IN COMMON.  WAKE UP!'

TRYING TO GET AS MUCH BI-PARTISAN IN A SMALL WAY AS POSSIBLE. 
WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO SEE AN ABORTIONIST DEBATE A PRO-LIFER?
 SOUNDS IMPOSSIBLE....THE THOUGHT OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT
TAKING PLACE IN A TIME WHEN THESE TWO POLITICAL PARTIES WON'T
COMMUNICATE IS INSANE AND THAT IS WHY I CREATED THE
PAGE...WELL, ONE OF THE REASONS.

BUT, I DID NOT REGISTER ON HERE JUST TO TALK ABOUT MY PAGE.  I
AM WORRIED....AS MANY OF US ARE.  THANKS FOR LISTENING IF YOU
ARE STILL READING THIS AND FOR SUPPORTING NOT ONLY A WONDERFUL
PERSON, BUT OUR GODDAMNED PRESIDENT!   : )
