The local fine beer, wine and cigar shop plays Sean Hannity on it's PA system
x(
It's a really nice shop and I like the goods they sell(I've never seen a store with such a fine selection of foreign and domesticated micro brews)so what can I do to persuade them to stop playing that garbage.

1. Tell them
their selection of easy listening isn't easy -- suggest they play some classical music... Tell them that more than 50% of smokers and drinkers will find their choice offensive.

4. Definitely let them know they face losing business
over blaring that right-wing idiotic filth at people.

Ew.

6. "Ew" is what I said when I heard Hannity talk about Socialized Medicine
and how it lead to the downfall of the Soviet Union and made matters worse for everyone.
:eyes:
Yeah Sean, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED!

11. Why be anonymous?
Really?

Here is my experience - We have a local diner that serves the best food around - It is a great place except it is owned by fascists who have Fox News on the large plasma screens located in 3 or 4 spots - I asked for the manager who came right over and I explained that I really found their choice of TV viewing offensive - I suggested if they wanted to REALLY make people ill, they should include a handbook of Mien Kampf with every menu. I also suggested that there are lots of other things on the TV that may be less offensive - Put on CSPAN ... The next time I went in they had MSNBC on -- it wasn't the best choice but I wasn't horrified either. No one seemed to mind...

BTW - when I told him to get rid of FOX NEWS, three different people told me thank you.

2. Inform him how you feel about his offensive noise
It'd be like blaring the Sex Pistols at the local Hallmark Store. Hannity makes his living insulting your people. The proprietor has the right to PA whatever he likes, but he needs to know that he's driving away customers.

9. Remind them that the majority of people who prefer excellence and finery are educated people.
Edited on Fri Sep-28-07 05:30 PM by Rabrrrrrr
That is, liberals; or at least, moderates.

And if nothing else, are the type of people who don't need politics, opinions, or other verbal garbage (of whatever political, theological, or ethical bent) shoved down their throats while they shop.
