22.  I stand corrected. However, I'm not sure what the complaint is supposed to claim
Offensive? Sure. Obscene? No. Indecent? No. Profane? No.

6. I applaud your efforts, but as onenote said, cable is not
regulated. And even if there's a lot of stink put under Fox, Murdoch et. al., they won't do anything because they're all depraved.

12. Yes, I know he did and it is despicable...
he is despicable. But sexism and misogyny is laughed about on this board so I don't feel too inclined to jump on someone else's outrage bandwagon.

9. Wasn't comment made on RADIO?
Forgive me, but I believe that O'lielies comments were made on his radio program, not on FNC. It should be regulated by FCC.

21. That's what Olbermann said when he played the clip last night
Shameless racism. That's all it is and it should be stopped. Please send complaints to the FCC. Threats do not belong on public airwaves.

10. No...
the Obama's need to get used to this if they want to run in the general. If they are thin-skinned and easily offended, they won't last.

16. Thin skin

14. That won't do you any good.
They don't regulate cable. You need to go for his advertisers.

19. Good Idea
How many advertiser's want to be connected with a program that speaks of forming lynching parties. Anyone know how to get a list of advertisers for his radio show?

I have used the word many times to describe Hillary's treatment in the media, it's a figurative term. Just because she's a black woman doesn't make it racist.

20. FCC won't do a thing
As long as he didn't cuss or show his bare ass, they'll do nothing.

Better to target his sponsors.
