| WHAT THE FUCK IS AN AD FOR FAREN-HYPE 9/11 DOING ON AAR??????????????????? |
|
Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 01:05 PM by Selwynn
Edit -- To be clear - NO I'm not basing the real F911.
I'm saying an ad came on saying Michael Moore's F911 is full of shit, get the truth by buying Faren-hype 9/11 today.
I know that "movie." It is repugnant.

| 3. If they want to fund AAR, fine with me. |
|
They will reach less people on AAR than anywhere else.

| 10. Less people willing to buy the dreck their peddling, you mean. |
|
AAR's audience is fine, but hardly likely to purchase Hype-9/11.

I could think of several thousand other subjects more worth of caps and exclamations.
On edit - Ah. Now I see what you mean. I thought you were being facetious about the actual Farenheit 911. My bad.

| 15. How many times has it been said... |

that private donations are the life blood of ventures who want to free of corporate methods? I have added AAR to my monthly list of "bills" to pay. It's a service, just like gas and electric.

| 20. While on the subject of sanity and solace ... |
|
I was listening to Al Frankin (this mornings show) and he had a guest on that was trying to explain WHY we have reason to be greatly concerned about the legitimacy of the vote count on November 2. After the guest hung up Frankin went on to explain that he "didn't think that there was systematic fraud" in this election. He said "don't fan the flames" it was conspiratorial thinking then went on to say he kinda wished he didn't have him (the guest) on. Sorry I'm over this guy. If I want to get pissed off hearing about how the liberals are conspiratorial nut jobs I will listen to Rush. For Christ Sakes.

| 25. I don't throw Al out the window for his stance on this, but.... |
|
..let's just say I strongly disagree with his attitude, even as someone who has strong skepticism myself about systematic intentional large scale voter fraud. (Note: I said skepticism, not denial -- I want full disclosure of all the facts!)

| 16. Bawhahah,sooooo desperate they have to advertise on Liberal radio |
|
This is a keeper if I ever heard one. That crap piece has grossed all of about $90 grand while F911 has done what 150-200 million?
Hell,I could case less if they advertise,more money for AA and Liberals. Maybe Pillboy and Neil Boortz would be interested in buying some time. Heh he....

| 18. Farenhype's production was funded by the CEO of overstock.com |
|
Overstock.com is an AAR advertiser.
Overstock doesn't care that AAR's listeners are liberal. AAR doesn't care that their advertisers are conservative.
Money is money.
It's a testimony to AAR's success that conservative companies advertise there.
It's also a reminder to boycott fans that where a company advertises is not necessarily a reflection of its own political philosophy. That's why I don't boycott Rush advertisers. You have to dig deeper than that.

| 21. That's Nothing! I heard more than one Bush campaign ad on AAR... |
|
the week before the election. The Portland station is owned by Clear Channel, so I figured that's the reason.

Did a double-take at the computer.

| 28. DUers took a Sean Hannity ad off of AAR. |
|
We sent Sirius a ton of emails and they pulled the OBNOXIOUS ad. It was HORRID! They did take it off the air. I bought my Sirius Radio for one reason and one reason ONLY. TO LISTEN TO LEFT WING RADIO!! NOT Sean Hannity. Email Sirius if it pisses you off. It works. ;) :hi:

It's not like the ad is going to work with the AAR audience.
Although its too bad you have to listen to it.
