Freepers Furious At Sinclair
It's too delicious. In thread after thread, there's no joy in freeperville this morning. They're incensed over the broadcast last night. After having supported Sinclair, bought it's stock, etc., there's now talk of selling said stock and boycotting advertisers. They've evidently been sending expletive laden emails. Ain't it great?

4. Sinclair wanted two lovers - it will end up with none. They deserve it.
It's a classic case of wanting to have your cake and eat it too - they will be begging for table scraps and nobody will care. Let them die for all I care - they're still run by a partisan all-wipe who should have his ass kicked from coast-to-coast. No celebration, no sympathy here - Sinclair needs to go under for attempting this stunt.

15. I'll celebrate when they go under, not before.
A few Freepers whining in their beer is sorta funny, but Sinclair attempted an act of violence, of fascism, on our country. There is nothing funny about that.

7. I'm going to have to watch for a copy of the show online.
I meant to program it on my PVR last night, but I forgot.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving company. Gotta love it.

8. The beauty is this...

That was hyped as being totally "anti-Kerry" but apparently (according to the freeps) is was pretty balanced (all things considered). My point being that those mythical "undecided" must have been left thinking that was the "worst" anti-Kerry message out there - at least according to all the pre-show buzz. I think it can only help us in the long run. Of course, I could be wrong.

11. They're pissed because
they thought the Sinclair piece about POWs and Kerry's supposed traitorous actions, was going to derail Kerry. Evidently Sinclair toned down the anti-Kerry stuff.

16. Sinclair is getting what it deserves, having both sides angry at them.
The lesson for Sinclair is that the media should have a neutral stance in politics.
