4. Of course, it was disparaging, but dammit, it's getting out there!
It was Byron York from National Review(?), I think, being interviewed by Brit Hume :puke: and they mentioned BushBodycount.com and a couple of others that I can't remember now. But word is getting out!

2. B-E-A-Utuful!
First they help push Al Franken's book to the top of the charts, and now they are helping TBTM get the word out.

Thank you Roger Ailes!

28. Hehe... actually it's .org...

9. Fox/Bush News is a Joke.
The National Enquirer enjoys a better reputation. They spin everything to the hard right and then sensationalize it. They are a joke.

10. No, not the whole video, just a few seconds, but it was exciting!
I was just channel surfing and there it was! Boy, you have to have nerves of steel to type and post to try and alert everyone to flip to Faux or whoever to get the word out!

18. Yes, it was Spike Jones music. That's how I recognized it
when I was surfing. Then trying to post as fast as I could to alert but of course by the time I had posted they had moved on to their other BS.

11. I remember TBTM had to lawyer up a while ago
What was the outcome of that? Do we need a legal support team for web dissenters? Along the lines of GLAAD? Can we organize that?

24. lawyering...
we're currently in "jurisdictional discovery" - in other words, they're trying to figure out whether the court in illinois has jurisdiction to hear the case. we'll update the weiner lawsuit page on tbtm shortly as soon as we hear something new. thanks to everyone who has been so supportive from tbtm.

13. They are relying upon their assumption...
...that everyone loves Bush, and will be taken aback by all these "extremists" that hate the oh so popular Bush. But the Bush regime, with every passing day, is making it easier to sustain an absolute disdain for them for lengthy periods of time. We're taking the "Outrage Overload" and channeling it in the right directions.

16. Maybe not.... If Murdoch decided to turn on Bush..
Maybe not....

If Murdoch decided to turn on Bush what would it look like in TV terms? News would not want it to look like the best had met the truth on the road to Damascus. But if suddenly the interests of bush and Murdoch were to diverge? Like say because Bush was deadmeat... then...

:)

22. Mad, this is one of my favorites too. When Symbolman first posted it
I could'nt get that song out of my mind. I love it! I sent it to my Repuke brother, Vietnam vet (KheSahn) and all his buddies (reply all) on his email list of all the right wing shyte he sends me. Of course, I didn't get a response from any of them. (I love my only brother dearly and politics is the only disagreement we have). I remember a big argument we had about the VietNam war, in our discussions after he was safely home (and, in fact, many years after the war). We were at our Mom's house for a party and he had one of his vet buddies there, too. They started going off about the war protesters and how they were unpatriotic and against the soldiers. Well, I and my younger sister and my husband and my two boys, ages 7 and 10, were at every protest at the Washington Monument during that time. I just saw red and said "what the hell did you think we were doing, dragging our asses and my kids out to every goddamn protest in the freezing cold and the 100 degree temperatures to protest Nixon and then Johnson, but to get your asses home and to safety! How dare you accuse us of being unpatriotic?? It was a drag out, knock down battle, but I believe I convinced them that we were fighting at home FOR them to get them and their buddies out of that hellhole, not that we were against THEM, but against the lies that put them in that cesspool!

Rant all done!

25. Sonofabitch!!
I missed it! My most downloaded flash of all my works on FOX? It needs a shower now :)

Why am I always the last one to know..

Dammit. wonder if they will rebroadcast that show tonight? Anyone? WOnk? did you catch it? do they rebroadcast on the web anywhere?

I'd love to see it.. I even called all over town tonight to try and hunt down a copy of the Review and it's so popular (NOT) that I couldn't find it anywhere..

I did get a few snotty and extremely stupid emails today but I thought not much about it.. told them all to move to a country where freedom of speech isn't tolerated :)

They never write back when you say that.. one accused me of living in gasp CALIFORNIA!

WOw.. time for them to ask me on the show, bet they don't, they aren't interested in any explanations..

thanks for the headsup, really made our day!

29. Thank you, Symbolman, Americanstranger, IanBruce and ALL the
rest of you talented people who do the flashvideos that we can send around the world and who have given all the rest of us some hope that we WILL take our country back!

26. I Hate to admit this.. but FOX is starting to Confuse me...
First it was sueing Franken, thus helping him sell over a hundred thousand books..Now its spotlighting take back the media..Now im sure in pure Fox style they were mocking it and such but it just made turned more people on to it and im sure that they had very high traffic afterwards..Is Fox becoming a libs best freind? Is fox nothing more than satire on the news with its comical right wing slant thus makeing the right look like fools and helping the Dems and left?
Nahhhhhh...But still lately they have been helping with its arrogant ways..

27. I think they are trying to prove
how "out there" people like Al Franken and websites like TakeBacktheMedia are. They are suffering from too much groupthink and are forgetting that with the exception of rush limbaugh's listeners most people do have critical thinking skills. The American public is starting to wake up, and if it happens in time it will be ugly for the repukes.

30. How do we get Fox to play more Bush Is A Nazi video coverage?
and further accelerate the "Bush Is A Nazi" message transmission rate....

Symbolman & AmericanStranger have shown the way...

Kick this thread to help educate the as yet uninformed on the single best way to send GWB to the electoral scrap heap. And TAKE BACK THE MEDIA.
