Laura Ingraham is asking people to write to GE about Keith Olbermann's Special Comment

[eleny]

She's providing the link to General Electric's feedback page. So I wrote to them this morning thanking them for Keith, his program and how I especially appreciated his Special Comment of yesterday.

1. That was my first thought too! I'll be happy to write to GE, THANKING

THEM for KO!

[NJSecularist]

2. What is Ingraham saying about Olbermann? n/t

[DAGDA56]

8. I'm guessing it's the special commentary last night, where Keith

told W to "shut the hell up!" Of course I could be taking it out of context (see the DU first page).

[eleny]

10. Yes, the one that's been commented on all over DU since last night

Thanks!

[RB TexLa]

3. And they will care about as much as they care about DU'ers that waste time writing them about Pat

Buchanan.

[stray cat]

5. David Schuster got suspended for awhile and Tweety got a licking

[eleny]

6. Probably

But I thought to at least balance out the negative mail they'll receive.

Thanks for the posting kick.

[Indiana_Dem]

15. They care if you're a stockholder! lol I mentioned that in my note. nt

[stray cat]

4. Done! Thanks

[Royal Oak Rog]

7. Great Idea I'm on it

what a sleaze bag, "he said somthing against the chimp, I'm going to complain to daddy". I'll write to G.E. telling them how great Keith is for his comment from yesterday.

[lpbk2713]

9. Did she mention anything about writing the FCC about Limbaugh's 'Operation Chaos'?

Since she is so concerned it ought to be obvious to even a Bozo like her that what OxyRush is doing is
not just contrary to FCC regs but it is downright treasonous to disrupt elections like he is doing.

[eleny]

14. I didn't listen long enough to hear anything about Rash

I was just going around the radio dial and heard Keith's name so I stopped for a listen. But thanks for giving me the idea to write to GE about him, too. :thumbsup:

[lpbk2713]

22. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

They are part of the same RW Radio Hatemonger Mutual Admiration Society.

[90-percent]

11. done

"Thank you very much for your Countdown with Keith Olbermann show on msnbc.

American main stream media are merely stenographers for Republican propaganda. Keith tells America whats really going on.

If main stream media had the backbone of Keith, George W. Bush would have been impeached back in 2003!

Yours truly,

Jim B."

[eleny]

35. That's a great letter

[malaise]

12. I did

and told them he rocks.

[Indiana_Dem]

13. Done! nt

[napi21]

16. DONE! And they don't pay any attention to a few emails, but they DO

pay attention when there are A LOT of them!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

17. Thank you so much

I just wrote to GE, telling them how absolutely brilliant they are to have a genius like Keith Olbermann in their employ, that I believe he is the Edward R. Murrow of our time, and that he should be designated a National Treasure.

Thank you for posting this. Thugs like Ingraham are the ones who remind me of the old Italian saying: You spit up in the air, it lands in your face.

Well done, eleny.

[Ilsa]

18. Done. I hope KO gets a bonus. nt

[katmondoo]

19. I replied too

Keith was great.

[Old and In the Way]

20. The Right Wingers hate free speech.

Think Laura ever said an unkind word about Bill Clinton? Just another hypocrite who'd prefer that this country exist as a One Party state (as long as it was her viewpoint that was dominant). She's torqued off because 1 KO Special commentary negates a month's worth of political talking points from the entire radio Republican choir.

[eleny]

23. The recent three Republican losses in Congress ought to wake her up

But the kool aid is stupefying.

[TNOE]

21. Done!

His ratings are proof enough how much his viewers love & value him!!! The people who can't handle the truth already have Faux Noise. They only get one station!

[varun]

25. I just sent a thank you note to GE

for sponsoring KO.

I hate that bi%^h Laura Ingrate...

[wildbilln864]

24. I just wrote them and thanked them...

for Keiths show and I said it was great. Thanks for the link. K&R. :hi:

[2008]

26. my message to GE:

"Keith Olbermann is an asset to journalism in general and to MSNBC. Please disregard the Laura Ingraham-fueled messages that are littering your feedback inbox (assuming they are coherent and readable, which most probably will not be) criticizing Olbermann's special comment on yesterday's Countdown."

[eleny]

34. Hee!

:thumbsup:

[VP505]

27. Done

and while I am at it I wrote to HER to thank her for the suggestion and link to GE that I used to compliment and support KO. :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Thank you for the suggestion and link to contact GE about Keith Olberman. It was a great opportunity to thank them for making his Countdown Show possible and tell them how much his commentary and especially his "Special Comments" are appreciated.

[eleny]

31. Great idea - that never occurred to me!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

28. done

thanks for the link!

[Bluebear]

29. Done, Laura! Thank you for the suggestion!

:evilgrin:

[lazyriver]

30. I wrote them a glowing review of KO, Countdown, and especially

the Special Comments. Added the following P.S.: "Please have MSNBC give Rachel Maddow her own show and you'd have my attention for two hours each night instead of one".

[purji]

32. Done thanks for the heads up.n/t

36. Laura is a sweetie, for giving us the opportunity to thank the parent

company for Keith.

Who'd thunk she'd be that nice?

:-)

And I am sure that is not exactly what she was expecting either

[Vinca]

37. What a good idea! It was a brilliant statement. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

38. To General Electric

I just noticed that right wing commentator Laura Ingraham is urging people to write to you about Keith Olbermann's comment last night.

So I will take her up on it. I viewed the comment last night on the net.

Thank you for sponsoring Mr. Olbermann's comment about Mr. Bush's follies. Mr. Olbermann was spot on as usual.

[zazen]

39. thanks! just wrote, and also asked if they'd replace Scarborough with Rachel Maddow

[eleny]

44. Yes!!!

[colonel odis]

40. fortunately, if the letters come in crayon on big chief writing tablets, GE will

probably fail to take them too seriously.

should be some adventures in use of the language, though.

[eleny]

45. big chief writing tablets!

such fond memories!

[orleans]

41. i sent them an email too.

i loved keith's show last night!

[mzmolly]

42. Excellent idea.

:toast:

[lpbk2713]

43. Just for info ...

... here are a few more names, phone numbers and email addies at GE.
These are the people who would be concerned about GE's public image.

46. bookmarked!

[ljm2002]

47. Here's my comment

Hi --

I am writing to let you know how much I appreciate your show Countdown with Keith Olbermann. The show in general is very high quality, but I appreciate his Special Comments the most. He is impassioned, intelligent, and rational in his presentations, and in most of his special comments, he very much speaks for me.

So again, thank you for providing Keith a venue for his show!

--xxx

[alfredo]

48. My letter

Thank you for Keith Olbermann. His special comment of 05-15-2008 said what many of us are thinking.

Many think that because GE is a defense contractor they would not allow anti war or anti establishment statements to be presented. Thank you for allowing speech that might affect your bottom line.

[shireen]

49. ok, Laura! I'll send them a note!

doesn't have to be much ... just a few sentences will do.

Hi ... this is my feedback about Keith Olbermann's special comment on May 14, on MSNBC. He is a TREASURE; he speaks for so many people who are utterly outraged by the actions of the Bush administration. OIbermann is speaking truth to power, and I strongly support him.
thanks,
shireen

[spanone]

50. i did it laura, and i thanked them profusely for having keith speak truth to power

[Supersedeas]

55. same here

[tired]

51. I thanked them as well.

But I also stated my disgust with them and how they stood by and allowed the pentagon to simply feed them misinformation without fact checking.

[Fleshdancer]

52. that's pretty hypocritical....

considering she has no problem giving HER opinion on fox news or having her right wing radio friends give their opinion on fox news. :eyes:

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

53. done. k/r

[AngryOldDem]

54. LOL.

Yeah, I'll write with a big THANK YOU for once again speaking truth to power.

And Laura: SHUT THE HELL UP. And, because I know that it will offend your sensibilities, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[B Calm]

56. So Laura Ingraham watches Keith too. . . . HA HA HA

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

57. Done!

Stick it, Laura.......

[City Lights]

58. Done. Thanks for the link. nt

[npincus]

59. I'll send them a gift basket!

:rofl:

[horseshoecrab]

60. done -- thanks and a k&r

Might want to mention any GE products you've bought recently and/or are considering buying. That's what I did.

[Joey Liberal]

62. Done! n/t
