Tell Clear Channel: Take Down These Billboards

[proud2BlibKansan]

It’s one of the nastiest voter suppression schemes we’ve seen: this week, in Black and Latino neighborhoods in Ohio and Wisconsin, an anonymous group started running outrageous billboards which try to scare people away from voting.

Allowing an anonymous advertiser to create an atmosphere of fear around voting just as the early voting period begins is unacceptable. Clear Channel has rejected billboard ads many times in the past. Please join us in demanding that Clear Channel immediately take down these offensive and dangerous billboards.

1. Bain Capital owns Clear Channel

3. Ding Ding we have a winner

Rmoney's goons are suppressing votes while paying for billboards

[Tigress DEM]

4. Oh isn't THAT revealatory?

Changed my mind. Bring those billboards DOWN!


(sort of kidding - still think we could have protests under the billboards. Signs could read Here's SOMEONE VOTED WHO WASN'T SUPPOSED TO: ROMNEY in MA MEANWHILE what's the fine for TAMPERING with Voter Registration?)

[Sekhmets Daughter]

5. So is your spelling

[Tigress DEM]

6. English IS a messed up language. To reveal, but revelatory. Sigh.

OK, but I DO vote the right way and I used the word correctly.

Don't I get a few points for those?

[Sekhmets Daughter]

7. A few...

You were snarky...I replied in kind. Shall we call a truce?

[Tigress DEM]

11. Sure. I was snarking at Romney and Bain, not you.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

12. Then I shall apologize for my snark...

[Tigress DEM]

13. Accepted. But I realize that misspelled words can be misinterpreted as troll spoor.

So it often puts the same words in a different light and we've had a lot of trolls lately. Everyone is a bit frazzled with all that going on plus the debates.

14. I'm afraid it was my misinterprettion

of what you said...not your spelling misadventure. I thought you were saying I had foolishly stated the obvious. I'm new to DU, as I'm sure you've noticed and there has been an abundance of posts criticizing newbies...I thought yours was another such post.

[Tigress DEM]

15. Nope. I thought you hit the nail on the head and were just funning me about my spelling. nt

[Sekhmets Daughter]

16. Oh my...now I feel really badly about my snark. I still don't know what the use of 'nt' means...

[Tigress DEM]

17. Means all the text is in the subject line - No Text (below)

[Sekhmets Daughter]

18. Got it....Thanks.

[Tigress DEM]

2. Can't we just get going on prosecuting the ELECTION FRAUD folk?

Then we can reference back to this OBVIOUS ODIOUS misdirection that they are "protesting too much" "making much ado about something" that RARELY happens except when rethugs are in charge of elections or election materials.

8. OK, I'll admit I'm lost here. How are these billboards connected to Clear Channel?

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Clear Channel owns them

It's one of their divisions. When you look at a bigger version of the picture, their name is on a strip across the top.

Edit to add a bigger picture -

10. Gotcha. Thanks.
