Mike Farrell just took a cheap shot at Sarah Palin on PBS fund-raiser NOTE TO MODS; Please edit this as you see fit. I haven't posted a "vanity" before.

I was just watching a PBS fund-raiser (supposedly live) and heard Mike Farrell interview Michelle Phillips on-air. As they were talking, Farrell asked Phillips "with all your qualities...the fact that you don't know anything about economics...or foreign policy...you could be in line for the presidency," Phillips replied "well I think that...that gives me..all the qualities that I need." Farrell then replies..."that's been demonstrated today..." An obvious shot at Palin. Since PBS need OUR money to operate, we should let them know that this kind of crap won't be tolerated. I did. I just called them back and withdrew my support and told them why.

Isn’t that the loser that took Trapper John’s place? I really need to know what Radar and Klinger think before I decide who to vote for, though...

I like Wayne Rogers better .

‘Haven’t sent in money to lefty PBS for years.

[shteebo]

Speaking of no credibility...

Normally, I don’t either, but I have some former students at MSU and they work at WKAR, so I try to support THEM.

after seeing this, I decided not to spend my money for PBS.

Fortunately, Farrell can only get PBS gigs now. He was shot down during the start of the war in Afghanistan. Worthless anti-war pinko!

You Korea vets are tight .

An obvious shot at Palin.

Are you sure it wasn't a shot at Obama?

I think Michelle Phillips should be much more concerned about her parenting skills than Sarah Palin’s professional skills.

Ya know, I was reeeaaaallly hoping B.J. Hunnicutt wouldn't rear his ugly head this election cycle. He should just stick with Desperate Housewives.

GA PBS is running their fund-raiser as well - probably many are doing it at the same time.

Called their number 800-222-4788 and told them that we would NOT be donating anything this year, since Mike Farrell is insulting MY religion and MY choice on THEIR TV time, HE can fund THEIR shows.

What??!!?! Mike Farrell’s a lib !?!!111??

[Emmett McCarthy]

Another washed up nobody who has to go work PBS fundraisers just to get out of the house. At least we know now what the “BJ” stands for. Think: Monica.

[Jeff Chandler]

I think a better ploy would be to just call up once in a while and shoot the breeze with the phone operator. If a few hundred people did that, it would drive them crazy.

> Are you sure it wasn't a shot at Obama?

Doubtful. Remember, Farrell was one of the Hollyweird big shots behind Not In Our Name -- which tells you about his political leanings...

Flaming moonbat lib.

You should have put in a contact link to PBS on your thread, so that we don’t all have to go and find it individually to flame them. Just a suggestion. If we FRiends are going to defeat the Zero, we need to be efficient.
