Puke`s trying to start boycott on Boston Legal`s sponsers.
If you missed tonights Boston Legal James Spader`s character Alan Shore in a closing had a very powerful speech about the the missing WMDs,spying,torture etc.This really pissed off the wingnuts.They are posting boycott threats on the boston legals message board.

Excellnet on all points.

I will join you in boy cotting the sponsors. I have the show on mute right now just to see who is advertising in their commercials. I intend on writting each sponsor to voice my personal complaints. I invite you all to do the same.

Oh and by the way, the liberals and dems all backed the decsion to go to war and all recieved the same intel on the WMDs that our Commander and Chief received. I am so sick of this agenda being pushed. It insults our intelligence.

1. Ah, c'mon...it CAN'T insult your intelligence...
It would be like insulting the Easter Bunny. Pretty sure both are mythical.

Man, I'm evil.

2. I imagine their "Boy Cott" will have plenty of support.
At least 34% of the population, I would guess.

37. I've never tried cotting,
not boy cotting or girl cotting. I don't think I have anyway - maybe I did and didn't realize it. Damn, I wish the wingnuts would explain things better 'cause I feel like I'm out of the loop on the whole cotting thing. Maybe it hasn't reached the UK yet...

I don't want to get involved in any underaged cotting with either sex. "Man cotting" sounds kind of interesting though, unless it has to be done on actual cots. They're usually pretty flimsy.

:evilgrin:

43. The flimsy cots
are part of the danger.

Maybe that's why the cowards stick with boy cotting and avoid the man cotting.

14. "It insults our intelligence."
One's intelligence cannot be insulted, if one has no intelligence in the first place.

Saw the show tonight - loved it! Counterpoint to this idiot - find out who the sponsors of the show are, and BUY THEIR PRODUCTS. Send them an email, explaining WHY you are supporting them.

P.S. Personal note to johnqpublic: "Excellnet on all points."

16. Before the show was over, I went to that site to post a Bravo msg
I saw that the msg board was hijacked by wingnuts, so I didn't bother. The producers of the show should be savvy enough to surf the blogs that count anyway to find out how many people appreciated the show.

Boston Legal was great tonight. They have been making shots at * since the show began. My wife said that this was a show to be taped, so the court room speech can be seen again, but no jibber jabber :)

I'm wondering if we need to alert the authorities that some Freepers apparently are going to start some sort of pedophile activism.

Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 12:18 AM by Atman
IOW, like the fundies do when they try this stunt, the relatively few Boston Legal viewers among the 34% will only make the non-viewers among the 60% more curious about what they've been missing, and viewership of the show will go up, and hence, sponsor awareness will go up! A right-wing boycott would be good news for Boston Legal, and ultimately, America!

29. Some stunning samples of RW dolts on that board!
Yikes! Is it any wonder these people don't get it? The freakin' MORANS! I love how this first guy thinks Fox New's ratings vs. a mythical 100 left wing news agencies provide proof that the majority of Americans are Right Wing. It's made all that much more comical when combined with the poster's inability to compose a proper sentence.

by: Anthony6556975

you have 100 left wing news agencies they all are except one and that is fox news and they lead the ratings...which proves that what they said is mainstream Right Wing is mainstream so why do shows continually ruin themselves by adding liberal rhetoric...



Then there is THIS gem by a guy who received an A+ in Bushisms 101. It begs the question...do we kill the the radical Muslims FIRST, and then take the battle to them? Or...oh, never mind. Just be sure to kill them seriously...

by:brucebug

We need to seriously KILL the radical MUSLIMS and take the battle to them.



And if you're looking for pure, unadulterated ignorance, check this guy out...oh, wait, it's Anthony6556975 again! He's dumber than a stump!

by: Anthony6556975

On Eavesdropping...They are not eavesdropping on you or me they are eaves dropping on Arabs who just came over from the Middle East, who can't speak English, and entered Flight School. Besides if you are saying something you don't want the government to hear, THEY NEED TO HEAR IT!


Hey, Anthony...one day you might get laid, and find out that some people even talk dirty during sex! Good thing you don't mind the government listening in. Or maybe they'll just come demand the transcripts of your last therapy session! :eyes: After all, you won't mind. Right?

39. This is my favorite
I Agree it is always smart too listen to a second opinion when it comes to politics..however a TV Show that is not a news station should not push their opinions...its simply not the appropriate place for it.



Only TV News stations should push their opinions, not facts right? :wtf:

by: Exton13 (4 Posts in the last 90 days) Registered: Mar 15, 2006

You forgot to add that they were wrong on Viet Nam. Because of liberals lies we lost the war back home, not on the battle field. As a result 2 million Vietnamese were murdered by the Communist government during the two years AFTER the WAR, about 5 million Cambodians were killed AFTER the WAR. The liberal liars who blamed Nixon for LBJ’s war are responsible for over 6 million deaths, AND THE DISGRACE OF OUR COUNTRY AROUND THE WORLD DO NOT LET THEIR LIES DO THE SAME TODAY. THIS TIME ITS PERSONAL. THIS TIME THEY ATTACKED THE USA. WHAT WILL THEY DO IF WE TURN TAIL AND RUN? HOW MANY WILL BE KILLED THIS TIME?


I wonder if Brian Greene knows about this reality.....

A few years ago, if someone had told me that not only would the U.S. be spying on its citizens, torturing 'suspects' in Iraq, and holding people in Guantanamo indefinitely without trial, BUT a sizable part of the population DEFENDING it as well, I would have said it's time to find a new country

47. and did you catch at the end of the show when
Shatner and Spader say "he just wants to be emperor, yes he just wants to be emperor", referring to Bush. He is really using his show to rail against this administration. It is great. The writer of that show is ABC biggest hit, so hopefully he is safe from the "see no evil, hear no evil" bunch.
