Women Activists Organizing A Boycott against NBC andMSNBC

[OHdem10]

Boycott of NBC and MSNBC--OReilly Factor Show.

Two of the Women were guests and explained their anger over
how Hilary has been treated and the Manipulation of Election
by Media. These groups are working at rhe state level.
They were every bit as ticked as some on this Board.

[DerekJ]

1. Did they bring pot and pans.

:rofl:

[chascarrillo]

20. The correct question is: Did they bring loofahs and falafels.

That women would go on O'Reilly's show to complain about how women are treated on another network - just amazing. Simply amazing.

[Writer]

2. The O'Reilly Factor is a Fox News program.

MSNBC carries Chris Matthews.

I think that's what you're thinking about.

[OHdem10]

9. The Factor is indeed a Fox Program,. The Women came

on Fox to explain their cause. The Factor gets the most eyeballs.

I watch Fox so I know what the opposition is up to. They have
been having a lot of Democrats on.

[casus belli]

11. ...self delete

[myrna minx]

62. So they go on a show that is hosted by a horrendous sexist to

complain about sexism on other networks? :crazy: This kind of stuff makes this feminist cringe.

[Exilednight]

66. It's like watching John Wayne Gacey asking Charles Manson to be a character witness. n/t

[DJ13]

3. .................the Manipulation of (the) Election

Yet, none of them gave a rats ass while the MSM went on their 3 week Pastorbate witch hunt for Obama's scalp.

[cliffordu]

13. Yeah, there was that little thing....

[unlawflcombatnt]

24. or their 6-week sniper-gate scam pushed by the Obama camp

Maybe the reason no one they didn't go after the Great One is because no slimeball politician has ever received the preferential treatment from the press that Obama has.

And yet, no politician has ever been as big a baby as Obama has about the minuscule criticism he's received.

[Swamp Rat]

26. LOLOL!!!!

:D

[eridani]

29. It wasn't a scam. It was a documented demonstration that your candidate is clueless

--about modern communication methods. Repeating a lie three times after a YouTube video demonstrating that you've lied demonstrates that Clinton 2008 = Nixon 1960 (clueless about TV). This is stooping pretty low to get "military" street cred, and McSame would destroy her with it. How utterly stupid to be campaigning on "experience" and "toughness" when your Rethug opponent absolutely creams you in those categories.

[Beacool]

55. Hear, hear!!!!!!!

How dare those meanies from ABC ask him "tough" questions!!

BTW, all the things they asked about were the same issues that were brought up by people as we canvassed in PA.

[mmonk]

67. The whole past two months has been full of racist and innuendo

smears about Obama from many talking heads in the media. Pretending otherwise doesn't make it not so. That is unless one thinks the color of one's skin means he will govern badly.

[Rolandosoto]

4. Sorry, you have no link

link?

[donheld]

46. Sorry, you have no...

[NeedleCast]

5. Ticked about what?

The fact that Hillary has been treated like a politician?

[Warren DeMontague]

6. "How Hillary has been treated": like how the media declared her the "front runner" & "inevitable"

before a single vote had been cast, based solely upon the blathering prognostications of Hillary's own campaign goobers?

Yes, tsk tsk.

[Why Syzygy]

44. Nothing less than presumptive and coronation would appease them.

Queen Hillary is what they are pushing. I don't like it. She isn't entitled to any special treatments.

[WA98070]

7. They were for her before they were against her. But MSNBC is not MSM. She and her stafff...

abused the press when she was ahead and thought she could call the shots.

[Jamastiene]

68. Since when is MSNBC not MSM? n/t

[mrreowwr_kittty]

8. Were these women boycotting them during the run-up to the war?

Probably not.

[SeattleGirl]

10. What's next?

Holding their breath and stamping their feet?

[goldcanyonaz]

42. Ever worked outside of your home?

[Alexander]

12. Let me guess, it's organized by Cynthia Ruccia out of Ohio.

Probably has something to do with this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5986834

BTW, Ruccia, despite being a Democratic (and Hillary supporter) member of a gay rights organization, ran against John Kasich for Congress and kept implying that his chief of staff, whom Kasich lived with, was having an affair with the congressman.

A pretty despicable group. But then, I don't expect any better from Shillbots. :puke:

[anigbrowl]

22. Some of these people sounds like real freeloaders

they've spotted a cause and a bunch of activist political supporters at a loose end, and have decided to surf it for their own fame and gain. I don't think these 'disenfranchised women won't stand for it!' even care that much about Hillary. I mean what kind of Democrat takes their case to Fox? Don't answer that...

Surreal.

[Why Syzygy]

45. Don't you know that O'Reilly's audience just ate that up? They are full of GLEE.

Thanks, Hillary, for making our opponents so happy.

[Franks Wild Years]

48. A disgrace to women's rights

They have no interest in furthering any noble cause. Now that the candidate to whom they have become extremely unhealthily and abnormally attached has missed out on the nomination, they would rather a man with a proud record of warmongering and an archaic position on women's rights emerge victorious because, well, he'd be beating the man who beat their woman.

Pathetic & dangerous. I'd like to see these women prosecuted and imprisoned for murder if their "work" pays off and a John McCain administration enters into more appalling wars - Lord knows they'd deserve it. Sickening people.

[billyoc]

14. Don't forget about France!

O'Reilly Factor. :rofl:

[EFerrari]

15. LOL!

[Cha]

16. Not clinton news network?

Freakin' hypocrites...eternal victims.

[Diane R]

17. As a feminist, I want to scream. Hillary Clinton is NOT losing because of sexism.

Hillary Clinton is losing because she's a horrible candidate. Hillary Clinton is losing because, in a game that was hers to lose....she found a way to lose. She's been untruthful, she's been erratic, she's been tone-deaf, she was careless with her money and she's tried her best to ruin the candidacy of the first African-American to be a serious candidate for the presidency.

Women are NOT mad that Hillary Clinton is losing. The media has NOT treated her poorly. She got better media than she deserved, for longer than she should have gotten it.

This 50+ year old original feminist has no intention of boycotting MSNBC, or NBC. Those women do not speak for me.

[LittleBlue]

21. Nice

Very nice reply. :)

[eridani]

30. I'll bet you even remember when being a feminist meant automatically being against--

--imperial wars of domination. I do.

[Elspeth]

52. She's not a terrible candidate.

And Barack is inexperienced. He's been making lots of elementary errors in the past couple of days.

[Beacool]

56. I beg to differ.

Hillary is a much better candidate than Obama. As for her trying to ruin Obama's candidacy, her candidacy is equally historical or have we had other women presidents that I'm not aware of? Besides, she's his opponent, of course she's going to go after him, just as he went after her.

You Obama supporters seem to think that this extremely inexperienced man walks on water.

[SeaLyons]

69. ..

:thumbsup:

[mcctatas]

18. WHY?

Because they point out the fact that she is losing? Well then I'm boycotting my scale, everytime I step on it it points out the fact that I am losing the battle to drop the last 8 pounds to get back into my skinny jeans :eyes:

[still_one]

19. Gosh, it had nothing to do with her IWR vote, or that she ran a terrible campaign

NOT ONCE, did I see Obama crying that he was getting an unfair shake from the media, including right in the middle of the Wright controversy

Like Harry Truman said, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen

If they won't support the Democratic nominee, then the bullshit they said about women's rights is just bullshit, because the supreme court will make sure of that if mccain wins

[mrreowwr_kittty]

23. Last Saturday I participated in a 50 state event to register voters led by the Obama campaign.

But this is what Clinton supporters are doing. I agree that there has been some awful misogyny directed at Sen. Clinton (then again I have to ask, that makes her experience different from every other woman's in what way?) but what these women are doing is not productive. A good clue to that is the fact that they are going on a known sexual harasser and rage-aholic pig O'Reilly's show. What's next for them? Howard Stern?

[eridani]

31. Yes, and it's coming from the usual wingnut whackjobs

You know, the ones that Scaife and Murdoch pushed all through the 90s. Oh, wait--Hillary's just decided to change sides and join them!

[Elspeth]

25. O'Lielly is just co-opting a very real issue.

He's a shit, and he's doing it for his own purposes. But the media and Obama Democrats have created a real rift. Let's see if you Obama supporters can stop yelling childish crap for 5 minutes and actually realize what you are doing.

[GarbagemanLB]

27. So this is one-sided? Please, be honest.

[Elspeth]

51. What is one-sided?

Referent?

[eridani]

32. Really? Obama has been shoving Repuke "elitist" and fear memes down our collective throats?

Links, please.

[rodeodance]

35. i doubt it. just look at this thread.

[Why Syzygy]

47. A rift was needed. We rifted right away from old style dirty politics.

[sniffa]

60. Let's see if the self-martyrdom will stop for 5 minutes

[Hutzpa]

28. Didn't they protest outside

MSNBC in New York, how did that pane out.....

Talk about using sexism to get their way, they keep

pushing this they will end up destroying a lot of

work good women have done during the years.

34. didn't they already try this?

[FrenchieCat]

36. Since the pastorbating has finally climaxed onto itself, news channel now have time for the

Whinners?

[coyotespaw]

37. As the brilliant philosipher Rocket J. Squirrel once said...

Again???? That trick never works.

[RamboLiberal]

38. Sure working great - Olbermann tied O' Reilly Wed night

Olbermann's preview on Daily Kos may have contributed to the strong ratings last night for Countdown. The program tied The O'Reilly Factor for first place at 8pmET in the A25-54 demo. SVP of NBC News Phil Griffin tells TVNewser, "The trend is up. Olbermann's ratings are getting bigger and bigger and getting closer and closer to O'Reilly."

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/

Since KO's been dead to Clinton supporters, his ratings have sure tanked! :sarcasm:

[ruby slippers]

39. I think they missed a few of us....I'm still watching....three times tonight

and I'm a Nielson family this week....HA HA HA HA HA

[marions ghost]

40. Who are these women

are they for real or are they part of Operation chaos?

[goldcanyonaz]

41. YES, boycotted them long ago!

[Why Syzygy]

43. That's all they have left. Raging Anger and Spite.

There is legitimate concern about MSM influencing our ENTIRE LIVES. Let's talk about that.

[ccharles000]

49. I do believe the media has been biased against all Dems.

[bowens43]

50. morons.

Are they from hillaryis44? It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see that they are from that lunatic asylum.

[powergirl]

53. But they leave Fox news alone?

Despite the sexist musings and race baiting on that channel????

[nomaco-10]

54. This is what faux has been reduced to....

"nbc is biased, brian williams interview was too easy on obama", the "sweetie" thing went on all day, hannity; "farakahn, ayers, hamas, appeaser".

They are running scared, they got nothin' and they know it.

[TwilightGardener]

57. I must have missed how Hillary was "treated" badly. They kept her hopes alive

long after her expiration date had passed, simply because of who she was.

[Ichingcarpenter]

58. They Just Announced They Are Going on the Kevin James Show

Since he is as much up on history and truthiness as they are.


The audio portion is available here:

[OzarkDem]

59. Good for them, glad they're doing it

As for them appearing on Faux, it says something is very wrong when the rest of the news media refuses to discuss this issue.

[stillcool]

65. I remember way back when....

Did Hillary "Play The Gender Card"?
By Greg Sargent - November 2, 2007, 3:51PM

So what really happened here, anyway?
http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2007/11/did_hillary_play_the_gender_card.php
After the debate, Hillary's campaign sent out an email describing her as "one tough woman" and deriding the nature of the "piling on" that had ensued. And the next day, AFSCME president Gerald McEntee endorsed Hillary with remarks that almost certainly had plenty of input from the Hillary campaign: "Six guys against Hillary. I’d call that a fair fight. This is one strong woman.:
So just after the debate the campaign didn't argue that she was being attacked because she's a woman. But the campaign clearly did try to strongly emphasize the gender picture here.
--------------------

Hillary pollster Mark Penn subsequently said in a conference call that the image of six men beating up on Hillary would play well with female voters. And anonymous Clinton advisers told the Associated Press that "there is a clear and long-planned strategy to fend off attacks by accusing her male rivals of
gathering against her." Though one should approach anonymous stuff with caution, this doesn't seem especially difficult to believe.
---------------------------------------------------------
Bottom line: As best as we can determine, Hillary never explicitly made the accusation that the men were piling up on her because she's a woman. But you'd have to be very credulous indeed not to believe that the campaign is explicitly trying to emphasize, for various political reasons, the fact that she's a woman getting hammered by a bunch of men. I don't know if that constitutes "playing the gender card" or not -- the exact meaning of the term is unclear, at least to me -- but that's obviously what's going on.

CLINTON PLANNED TO USE GENDER CARD ALL ALONG

RON FOURNIER, AP - Clinton's advisers, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss internal matters, said there is a clear and long-planned strategy to fend off attacks by accusing her male rivals of gathering against her. The idea is to change the subject while making Clinton a sympathetic figure, especially among female voters who often feel outnumbered and bullied on the job. As one adviser put it, Clinton is not the first presidential candidate to play the "woe-is-me card" but she's the first major female presidential candidate to do it.

[BeyondGeography]

61. Lame and self-destructive

Makes certain of Hillary supporters look as if they are completely incapable of seeing any shortcomings in their chosen one (familiar language, eh, you O-bashing Hillroids?). Not to mention that two of Hillary's most stalwart media supporters (Joey Scar and Pat the Knife) work for MSNBC, and Tweety, much as they hate him, regularly refers to Obama's inability to get the support of "regular" (i.e. "white") people.

[stillcool]

63. I wouldn't mind boycotting all...

the cable media talk shows...oops..I already do! I commend these women for their boycott, but their allegiance with FOX news just makes it another freep show.

[iamthebandfanman]

64. wish somebody would do the same to all the racists

who keep talking about 'the white vote'and the 'black vote'

this break down of voters in to racial crap is uncalled for.
we are all human, and we are all americans.
why do they insist on treating us like we are different?

[SeaLyons]

70. K&R

Good for them.
