Think the fat gal wearing sandals on the right end has ever been on a ladder with a paintbrush in her entire life?

A group of local residents gathered outside a Camarillo home improvement store Tuesday, armed with a petition protesting The Home Depot's advertising on TV's Fox News Channel.
The group rallied at noon on the public sidewalk in front of the store. Several people carried signs with messages such as "Home Depot cares about the environment. Fox News lies about it."
"Home Depot has a very strong corporate statement about the environment and trying to improve the environment. Yet, they send millions of advertising dollars to a news station that says pretty much the opposite thing," said Bruce Little, 58, a Camarillo resident who helped organize the event.
It was one of five protests held across the nation Tuesday and arranged by the Sierra Club and MoveOn.org.
Similar events also took place in Sacramento, Atlanta, Spokane, Wash., and Ann Arbor, Mich., organizers said.
They said their petition has 40,000 names, most of them gathered electronically over the Internet. About 6,400 names are from California, they said.
The petition was launched in July along with a YouTube video that says Fox News denies global warming.
Little said the Sierra Club and MoveOn.org noticed that The Home Depot was a top advertiser on Fox News.
Fox News did not respond to phone calls to its New York office Tuesday.
Sarah J. Molinari, communications manager for The Home Depot, said the company is dedicated to making a positive environmental impact, but where or what it advertises is all about the customer.
Advertisements, she added, have nothing to do with what is said on Fox News.
"It's not our position to judge Fox's position," Molinari said.
"We don't try to influence or control the content on those shows."

It is?.......
With all the **** going on in the world, this is what they considered important enough to protest?
This is a nationwide, DNC and liberal/leftist blog campaign against Fox News.
Their goal is truly to have Fox News removed from the air either through regulation if needed, but through loss of revenue if possible.
Leftists fear Fox News more than Iran with nukes and ICBMs.
I know they have the same color schemes in their buildings and are right next door to each other many places, but their home page website doesn’t mention anything about affiliations.......
We ought to start a counter-petition and send it to HD.
I’d sign it, several times.
Pics like these are like train wrecks, you don’t want to look....but you can’t help yourself..............

I am certain that Home Depot is terrified at the prospect of being boycotted by unemployed losers that live in their mother’s basements.
“With all the **** going on in the world, this is what they considered important enough to protest?”
It is all their pea-sized brains can handle. If their brains actually were forced to make logical decisions, they would probably explode.
Yes, I do believe much of what is now the loony-left base of the Democrat Party is directly attributable to the availability of cheap LSD back in the sixties.
Around here, Home Depot is a wet back day laborers hang out. I refuse to even drive into their parking lot.
IThe day laborers that normally populate the HD lots must have scattered when they saw the news crews.
Amazing they could tear themselves away from DU for the day.
I am not a big Home Depot fan, but I will shop there because friends stick together.
A group of local outsiders who probably dont live in this community residents extremist left wingers and professional protesters....
Fixed.
If she has I hope she wasn't wearing a skirt.
