Obama Channel on my Dish Network!
Dish Network | October 5, 2008 | bellflower

Posted on 10/05/2008 3:23:26 PM PDT by Bellflower

I was shocked to find a whole channel called Obama on my Dish Network. It runs day and night. It's a paid ad channel. He has gotten millions of dollars to spend on a blitz of ads. He claims all this new money came in from under $200 donors but doesn't disclose them on his internet site. I was shocked at him having a whole channel dedicated to him on Dish.

Dish Channel 73,

we have been all over this for a couple of days.
Good info, you’re just a little late to the dance.

LOL

McCain can totally turn this against him. Mock him for it and show it as egotistical and point out that it’s more of Zerobama’s liberal wasteful spending... the kind that would certainly continue if the Marxist is ever allowed in the white house.

Yea, it's there. I don't blame Dish per se. He bought a channel for a month. What can you do? Even Fox runs Obammie commercials, they'll take his money just like they'll take R's money. I'm sure if the RNC/McCain had ponied up the money for a channel for a month, they would have sold them/him time too.

But Sat time ain't cheap. I would want to see it itemized on his website. But I guess listed Geo. $oros as the sole benefactor wouldn't look good.

Dish said they have nothing to do with any party affiliation.
They gave McCain/Palin campaign the same offer dollars wise
and they refused to take advantage of the satellite offer.

I don’t have Dish Network, but if I did and I thought that my money was in any way subsidizing zero’s channel I’d be raising hell.

If he wins, it'll be permanent.

In North Korea, the radio can never be turned off, and it can only receive approved radio station, those spewing mindless adoration toward Dear Leader.

October 12: I just found Obama’s channel 5890 when I pushed too many digits on my remote control. I had to check here to see if someone else had found it, too.
