O'Reilly's Advertisers Need to Know We Do Not Approve His Treatment of Barney Frank

[suigeneris]

Many here have seen O'Reilly's out-of-control hostility and disrespect toward a sitting member of congress, Barney Frank: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAuOEdttjZQ

I'm pissed. I've been around enough to see a lot of Republican gutter politics in my day but this extreme display of shouting, fulmination, invective and name-calling (coward!, liar!) crosses every line of common decency I know and is the single most egregious case of an opinion journalist descending into indefensible and impermissible insult, threat and verbal assault that I have ever seen in my life. It must not stand.

I know there are people here that know how to organize an online protest and I think that is what is called for. The YouTube link needs to be sent to every O'Reilly sponsor, the marketing department, the president and the members of the board and that sponsor needs to hear that while robust political debate is one thing, Democrats vote and spend money and they will not tolerate this level of abuse toward a national leader by anyone, let alone someone the company is paying to put on the air.

Are you with me and how do we go about getting across the message most effectively that we're mad as hell and we aren't going to take it anymore?

2. O'reilly is a dumbass

People buy stocks because of something Barney Frank says? I don't think so. Nice try. Of all the people in congress and on the finance committee it is all Barney Frank's fault.

5. Actually, Frank gets the best of every O'Reilly encounter.....

Any right winger inviting Barney Frank on for a debate on any issue is a sure fire display of masochistic tendencies.
