Who are the MSNBC sponsors ~~ particularly KO's?
How about a Boycott of MSNBC and their sponsors until such time as KO is back?

We gotta do something!

5. Well WTF - he can't donate because of his job.
What about all that free speech bullshit? The recent USSC ruling that puts our politcal system on the open market. This is bullshit. :wtf:

7. Didn't you know you have to inform your overlords before you spend your own money?
Conservatives should be livid about this.

he or she wants to

12. Yes, that's true but their recent ruling on campaign
contributions from anywhere including foregoing countries (unless I'm mistaken about this) flies in the face of the reality of their own ruling. What the hell are they going to do? They set the precedent, it's now settled law.

14. So punish the sponsors on our only liberal station because Keith broke the rules
Edited on Fri Nov-05-10 02:11 PM by HughMoran
...thus appearing like a hypocrite for criticizing Faux for donating to the Governors association?

I'd rather have him suspended and return knowing he's learned that integrity is important.
