Ultra Right Tries to Surpress Free Speech

[Midwest_Doc]

The right wing is trying to force CBS not to air the upcoming mini-series on Ronald Reagan. Led by Nancy Reagan, the ultra right is pressuring CBS and threatening sponsors with product boycotts.

Please contact CBS and thank them for having the courage to broadcast this series, despite threats from the right.

1. Question

Why can we boycott sponsers of RW shows, while the right can't sponser boycotts of LW shows??

BTW, I think your idea of a note to CBS supporting the show is a good idea.

2. Because it's all part of our war against the facsist right wing

whatever works is ok with me. I really don't give a fat rat's butt if it's the same thing the RW does.

4. I do not give my hard earned money to any right wing......

"artist"!!! I will not sit by while liberal artists are being harrased and asaulted! This is the only way to fight back against these SOB's!

6. Me too

I boycott sponsers of RW shows (not a huge sacrific, I HATE Red Lobster), b ut why can't they do the same of LW sponsers. Heck, if all the Southern Baptists stay away from Disneyland, it'll be less crowded! Of course, I hate Disneyland too, but at any rate...

3. They are screwing themselves

Their whining about the reagan movie only increases its visibility and public curiousity about it. Many people now will watch it who would not have had it not been turned into a "controversy". In fact, many reagan lovers will tune in just so they can get their buttons pushed.

5. I'm willing to bet real money that movie never makes it on the air.

7. God I hope you are wrong.

I'm already as cynical as I can get. Anymore and I will fall into a black hole and the gravity will engulf me.
