What's O'Reilly gonna boycott next?
I was thinking over all the things O'Liely has boycotted and it's like damn... Here's what I remember:

Reebok-For hiring 50 Cent to sponsor a shoe
Old navy-for hiring Lil Kim to be aspokesperson
Pepsi-For hiring Ludacris to be a spokesperson
Anheiser Busch-Same as pepsi
Puma(clothing co.)-For hiring jenna jameson
Muppets-For using Snoop Dogg in a skit
France-For disagreeing with us

What do ya think he's gonna boycott next? Maybe Air America sponsors?

1. Who Are Air America Sponsors?
We don't get it here in Florida, but if I knew who sponsored them, I'd be sure to support those companies.

4. XM Satellite Radio, Comedy Central, and--get this--the U.S. Navy.
I'd love to see O'Reilly encourage his viewers to boycott the Navy! :evilgrin:

7. He reminds me sooo much of Archie Bunker
I suppose Al Franken would be "Meat Head" and Laura Bush would be his wife.

Who would be the daughter? Oh, I know, Ann Coulter.

I have this all in perspective now.

9. Air America
he's gonna wait until one of the hosts says something "controversial" then he's gonna show the transcript on his tv show and demand his audience boycott the network and sponsors.

14. Why, He's Going to Boycott JOURNALISTS Who Are PARTISANS
*******QUOTE*******

O'Reilly says some journalists have turned into political activists (NYDN)

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ideas_opinions/story/178194p-154963c.h...

.... What I'm not wrong about is that more than a few so-called journalists have turned into activists - people who are dedicating themselves to getting a certain party or person elected and are using their positions in the media to do it. ....

.... But let's face it, with the rise of entertainers like Rush Limbaugh and other radio talk-show people who openly root for the Republicans, those on the left feel they are at a disadvantage. ....

So, you as a news consumer should know American journalism is becoming increasingly partisan, and ideologues on both the right and the left have infiltrated the news business at very high levels.

But remember this: Passionate news analysis is one thing, but abusing the public trust is quite something else.

27. I'm shocked he hasn't already.
Anybody else remember the Chappelle ads recently where a letter accuses Dave of being racist and he asks, "Who wrote this Bill O'Reilly?"

I'm waiting for him to boycott BET and MTV for all the rap videos they play.

25. Add to that
Reason - because it's so far beyond his grasp.
Truth - because it abhors him as nature does a vacuum.

28. sorry I was unclear
Snoop Dogg was going to be in a skit with Kermit the Frog. But, O'Reilly bitched and complained about it so much that they had to take Snoop out. I'll make sure to think of O'Reilly when I go Snoop Dogg in concert in August.
