Are sponsors going to drop out from FAMILY GUY because of the tasteless content there?

Libs support free speech for themselves.

Conservatives need to equal the playing field by targeting a few liberal shows for boycott. Eventually all the companies will realize they can’t pull out of every show and ignore all the complainers.

I'm not against Glenn Beck's right to free speech, and for those who find him worth their while, more power to 'em.

I just think he's a bore and a drag.

It's tough, trying to find an angle with Rush Limbaugh basically saying everything that needs to be said and being ahead of the curve so much of the time.

Hannity spends about 40% of his time plugging himself, his Fox TV show, and his tour dates.

Beck has his sidekick (or are there more than one?) and he alternates between goofball, high-school level yucks and caterwauling about the end of civilization.

Mark Levin: he's good. I like him, when I can hear him.

You’d be making sense except I don’t think liberal shows depend on conservatives for ratings. I would threaten to quit watching but I don’t watch anyway.

A couple years ago I started to get to the point where I couldn’t watch a movie that featured an actor who spent any amount of time running down Bush and the war in Iraq.

Now, I’m real sensitive to who is on the shows and in the movies that I watch. I haven’t watched Avatar, not that it hurts Cameron very much, because I can’t get past the anti-American/anti-military message.

I’m pretty nervous because I like American Idol and Perez Hilton is broadcasting on his website that Simon Cowell endorsed him as his replacement for next season. I hope that is a giant mistake because there is very little in the way of television that I watch now except Red-eye on the DVR.

I can’t take too much of Beck either. Nor O’Reilly, O’Reilly has some opinions that he hasn’t put a lot of thought into such as the death penalty and his approval of confiscation of firearms by law enforcement in the event of weather emergencies. Hannity gets pretty repetitious. Ann Coulter needs her own show. I could get behind that.

I’m over 50. I own pretty much all I need so I not buying their advertisers products so I figure there is not much I can do to influence anything happening on TV.
