DON"T watch Hardball tonight!
Why would you want to boost Chris Matthews ratings for showing filth such as this show today with Ann Coulter? There will be plenty of video online to watch at Crooks and Liars and other places. It is despicable that Chris Matthews would give her a platform to spew her hate. All who tune in on the replay are only feeding into exactly what he wanted....to boost his ratings.

1. Exactly.
I can wait a couple days. Wouldn't want to give either Tweety or Coulter the ratings boost.

2. IMO, the best thing to do about Coulter is to totally ignore her.
Enough people do that, it's back to oblivion for her.

3. unless you're a Nielsen household
it won't make one bit of difference.

Watch it, to see Elizabeth Edwards take on Coulter.

8. TiVo does gather data, which is why I'll never get one. Aside from the fact that it's a bullshit
expense!!!

4. I doubt if many hard core Dems will stay tuned to Hardball tonight.
I watched a little bit of it and it turned into the Ann Coulter show. I got out of there fast!!

6. I'm laying off the show today
I'll reading the DU threads instead and will catch the Elizabeth Edwards segment in videos on the net.

AC is such a vile, heartless individual. I think evil thoughts when I see her on tv. It's like watching a devil. She's someone who brings out my worst.

15. Good For Elizabeth... But I'm STILL Not Going To Give Tweety
any of my time simply because he feels Ann Coulter is ANYONE who should have ANY air time!

But you Go ELIZABETH!! God, I love that woman!!!

9. I've purposely avoided anything Coulter for years.
She is dead to me.

Ignore her and she will vanish into scrawny air.

11. I NEVER Watch That Garbage!!
My TV goes to MSNBC at 5 PM PST, and then the channel changes at 5:59 PM when Keith signs off.

Why anybody would waste their time, and give a CRAP show like this ratings, is beyond me.

13. I've ALREADY Sent The Message Out To All On MY Email List!!
There is NO WAY anyone should even "peek" to see Poltergeist!! STAY AWAY and make a REAL statement!

She doesn't deserve the air-time!!

16. What statement will it make?
if you're not a nielsen family, it won't affect the ratings.

There was an incredible exchange between Elizabeth Edwards and Coulter - it's worth watching.

25. Gee, Ya Learn Something New Every Day... I NEVER Knew That
each TV wasn't counted! I thought you were connected if you had a cable or Dish. So much for that!

Sorry for the late reply, had a small emergency come up after posting last night.

Thanks for the information though.

17. I'd rather stick knitting needles in my eyes.
Even on a good day watching Hairball is about as inviting as a root canal. If Annthrax is on I think I'd just as soon get tossed naked into a Turkish prison. Watching Chrissie slobber over that skanky stick insect in a cocktail dress is more than my digestion can handle.

18. On the internets, no one knows you're a dog ...... on teevee, nobody knows you're there if .....
..... you lack a Nielson set top box.



And the corollary ......



And the always humorous ......

22. The third one .......
..... (cuz I hate to think your dog missed another good laugh)) ....... it shows three dogs at a desk, one of them typing on a computer. One of the onlooker says, as the other onlooker laughs hard: "Tell her you're a guard dog. Yeah! A Rottweiller, and that you're single and neutered ...... "

24. Boycott the products advertised and tell them you're boycotting them
That's the only way to show a program's editors that they need to stop what they're doing.

26. I only watch KO
and tune out softball for the pukes and change channels before Scarborough comes on, I have dish-network and I bet they know what I watch, even if they only count nielson houses,plus it frees up the time to do something more important!
