Take Sarah Palin Off 'Discovery Channel and Animal Planet'

[Bobbieo]

I don't know of this has been on DU but it is worth a 2nd chance!!!

"The last person I want to speak for wildlife is Sarah Palin. That's why I was shocked to hear that Discovery Communications -- the parent company of Discovery Channel and Animal Planet -- signed a deal with Palin for a new show about the "powerful beauty of Alaska."


"Urge Discovery Communications to drop Sarah Palin's new show »

"In Sarah Palin's Alaska, endangered polar bears and beluga whales are denied protections. Wolves are killed from helicopters and politicians like Palin propose $150 bounties for their limbs. Palin's Alaska has no business airing on a network known for its incredible wildlife-focused programs.

"Our friends at Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund are leading the campaign to cancel the show. Add your voice to the fight and help spread the word to your friends.

"Tell Discovery Communications to pull Sarah Palin's new show »

"Thanks for taking action!"

2. Don't watch it..what you are asking for is censorship..I guess that is ok with some around here

but it is not ok with me!

If they get censored ...we get censored..where is the end to it then??????????

We have already seen enough damn censorship!

5. The show is based on a BIG LIE

This petition is not about censorship, but about a sham.

13. how do you know it is all lies?? You must have watched it..right??

so you watched it but you don't want anyone else to have the right to watch it?

I didn't watch it ..i could give a rats ass what she says..that is my right under the constitution of this nation..but you did watch it and now you want to be the supreme ruler of our airwaves..and you want the show off the air..what give you that fucking right??????????

Nothing does.

You are seriously sliding down the slipery slope of something that is Not Democracy!

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. ~John F. Kennedy

6. seems like letting her and her show fail on it's own would be a better tactic

trying to get a shitty teevee show pulled is just giving her more attention
hell, she will probably quit before it's all done anyway:rofl:

10. K,R and signed Please sign the petition.

Comment: Unconscionable! Dissgusting! Repulsive! Using Sarah Palin as your spokesperson shows that your concern for wildlife is a sham and that you are motivated by corporate right-wing ideology, not actual environmental values.

11. Even my RW old buddy from Maryland sent me the petition to sign

which shocked the hell out of me. This woman is against Blacks, Hispanics, Irish Catholics, Muslims and the Government BUT she is an animal lover.
