Really, people complaining about Comcast hosting Democratic convention?

[Jitter65]

If Habitat for Humanity hosted it the same people would complain that they would be wasting money for the homeless.

Get a life people. You get sponsors who can afford to sponsor.

1. last time I checked...democracy didn't need a "sponsor"

makes me wanna

2. It doesn't matter who bankrolls the Democratic Party? They want nothing in return.

I hope you think you have too much choice and pay too little for things like Internet service and cable -- because Comcast is trying to build a large monopoly --- and are known for their abuse of consumers.

Democrats will have something to do with things like regulation of them, and approval of mergers.

But nahhhhhhhhh...Doesn't matter in the least. All that money and political backing won't affect those decisions at all.

3. Considering how many lives Comcast has destroyed...

yes, we should object to our establishment's support of Comcast.

4. One of the most hated corporations in America sponsors the Democratic convention

And you compare it to a charitable nonprofit?

5. Funny, I remember Comcast railing against net neutrality

and doing everything in their power to ensure an internet duopoly to basically pull a Bill Clinton: "you may not like our service, but where else will you go?"

I've got some massive issues with Comcast hosting the convention. (Speaking of, why do they need a sponsor? They've gotten money out of the taxes I've paid, so what the hell? Are they going to send me my money back, considering I'm Independent going Green?)

6. Habitat for Humanity isn't the most hated charity.

7. This isn't some commercial enterprise

It's supposed to be an exercise in democracy. Maybe they'll call it the Democratic National Convention hosted by Comcast in Association with Goldman Sachs.

8. Didn't ComCast block donations to certain anti-Iraq war anti-Bush/Blair websites?
