#1 Fox responds:

Okay. You got us. We're conservative. Can we now call NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR and PbS liberal?

#2 We could counter pressure advertisers on Move On ...
Or just make sure their firms lose money or fail.

#3 Sierra Club meet Home Depot's Bernie Marcus and come see the gift that he has bestowed upon Atlanta for their patronage of The Home Depot over the years. Due to Bernie's dream, the Georgia Aquarium opened dept-free. The aquarium, a dynamic, ship-shaped building, features over 55,000 aquatic animals from over 500 different species. These diverse creatures of the sea will swim through five million gallons of water. The Georgia Aquarium is divided into five main viewing areas, called galleries... (more on their numerous links).

Bernie Marcus was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, not that it should matter, considering that he's one of America's top philanthropists. But Marcus is the son of Jewish immigrants from Russia, and lived on an upper floor of a tenement building in Newark, New Jersey. Through hard work and diligence, and the dedication of his parents to provide opportunity for their children, Marcus succeeded in becoming a pharmacist, and then a successful retail businessman.

Thank you Mr. Marcus and Home Depot.

#4 This is the first stage of the American Left's grand plan to criminalize mainstream conservatism.

Sound crazy? Well, exactly what type of people do you think we are dealing with?

Many universities have already become liberal indoctrination centers where thought or speech which deviates from the party line is verboten. Liberals have consistently failed in their attempts to compete in the free market of ideas (see talk radio) so they have resorted to an approach based on financial intimidation. This must be taken seriously and countered vigorously.

#5 Groups like the Sierra Club have targeted Home Depot because they believe it's inconsistent for the company to promote environmentally friendly products while advertising on a network that has questioned global warming.

That does it. I'm not buying any more environmentally friendly products at Home Depot. Won't be buying any less, either.

#6 I suppose you could probably retaliate against say, like, MSNBC, but I don't think they have any sponsors...

#7 Look in the name.

What does the MS stand for?

#8 This is the first stage of the American Left's grand plan to criminalize mainstream conservatism.

I don't think it is the first stage, actually.
The attempt to criminalize policy has been going on for more than 3 decades.

#9 This is quite possibly the most idiotic plan I've ever heard the libs come up with, and that's saying a lot.

Talk about a waste of time, it'll never work. Morons.
