"Most companies will promote, offer discounts or give prizes as an incentive for consumers to try a product. Liberals insult conservatives and expect them to buy their products. You tell me- what is wrong with this thinking?" Thomas N. George - [e-mail]

1. If we're such extremists, how come that list is so big?

hmmmmm

[Clark2008]

2. Good question.

Also, we can use this list to see from whom we should buy! :)

[Clark2008]

3. BTW, the Eagles are on that list

and they put on a concert for Wesley Clark.

Guess this guy doesn't know that.

ROFLMAO!!

:D

[Pallas180]

4. laughable, but not...It's McCarthyism, demonizing, commie-izing

and dangerous...

we know it - but maybe it hasn't sunk in ...

these people are destroying the Constitution, the Bill of Rights

freedom of speech, freedom of assembly.....

in essence, they're taking away everything we have grown up with and

believe in.

Talk on DU is cheap and easy...but it ain't gettin' us no place.

What are we going to do ACTIVELY as a GROUP with the power of numbers
to stop what they are doing????

Just asking.

5. The list is both pathetically short and vague.

Most of "liberal products" are TV series, 527s and countries ("France").

Either the Left isn't really that pervasive in big business, or the research is lazy. I think its a bit of both......

[joefree1]

6. Idiots, they're working for us, bwahahahahahahah

They didn't read the following at buyblue.org

What if I want to Buy Red?

This too is a very common question. Usually it is in an inflammatory or threatening context, but they are always amusing reads. Our answer: more power to you! By doing so you are helping us to achieve our ultimate goal and you are helping to get the attention of corporations. Thank You!

However, the people that write us and tell us they are going to "buy red" don't understand the vision of the web site and don't understand that we control the definition of "buying red". Currently, our information is politically based, but when it becomes comprehensive I think these same people will find that "buying red" is an untenable position. "Buying red" will no longer mean supporting corporations who donated to the Republican party, it'll mean supporting corporations that pay sub-standard wages, have unethical business practices, destroy the environment to make a buck, and discriminate against minorities, women and homosexuals. In fact there is a chance you might even find corporations who contributed to Democrats declared "red" or at the very least borderline.

This isn't about politics, it is about positive social change and bringing about a sustainable, fair and profitable society.

7. Richard Gere in the "Hall of Shame"??????

He is just a wonderful, compassionate person. Plus he is gorgeous! :9 This just goes to show you what the Republicans are all about.

Plus they want their people to boycott HBO! Good luck!

(I made an extra effort to go to Home Depot instead of Lowes last week and it felt great!)


"The horrendous energy that we’re all feeling, and the possibility of turning it into more violence, and revenge, we can stop that. We can take that energy and turn it into something else. We can turn it into compassion, and to love, and to understanding."



"That’s apparently unpopular right now, but that’s alright."



Richard Gere addresses the crowd at concert for N.Y. firefighters and police




"Bush's plans for war are a bizarre bad dream. There doesn't appear to be any sort of basis for any of this. I have a feeling something hidden is at work here that will someday see the light of day."

The Power of Love Richard Gere Says Even Terrorists Deserve Compassion



"If you can see them as a relative who's dangerously sick and we have to give them medicine and the medicine is love and compassion. There's nothing better."





But, he said, we must also think about "the terrorists who are creating such horrible future lives for themselves because of the negativity of this karma. If you see it from a much wider point of view, we're all in this together. We're all intimately interconnected in all of these actions."

11. You're kidding me!

I thought I was doing a good thing by staying away from Lowes. Where do I go now - Ace Hardware?

[joefree1]

However I try to go to localy owned smaller hardware stores when I can.

16. The only problem with this list

is that there are no blue grocery or department stores in my area.
I guess I'll keep going to Kroger's since it's fairly low (12 percent) in its redness. I don't go to Wal-mart, anyway. I go to K-Mart or Target.

[Maraya1969]

10. How could ANYONE boycott Andy Rooney!

:shrug:

And if they want to boycott "Will and Grace" because Will is gay then they should boycott Dick Cheney!

[ticapnews]

14. This is a parody site, right? It CAN'T be serious

AOL/Time Warner is on his list?

Interesting predictions he has though...

-Condoleeza Rice will one day become President
-Seattle will one day be the site of a major disaster
-Soon to be celebrity deaths / Elizabeth Taylor/ / Roger Ebert

-President Bush's Presidency will end in tragedy in the middle of his second term.
-Laura Bush will become a conservative icon. Mrs. Bush who started out not wanting to give speeches will run for office (possibly Senator from Texas) or take a leadership position in the Republican Party. She will never remarry.
Think we should contact the Secret Service? This guy is threatening the life of the president...


- Some professional wrestlers after leaving wrestling entertainment industry will enter the porn industry.
Wow, gutsy prediction there...

- The liberal radio network Air America will soon be known as "Dead" Air America

-The Liberal Radio Network will fail and liberals will blame it on going up against a more established conservative radio media. Of course this will be a lie- the truth is Fox News overcame an established CNN!
Air America is growing by leaps and bounds...

This guy's a dope.
