Hello, thesmokinggun.com?
If they vote Bush, they are Baltimorons.
I think they're called Baltimorons.
*ducks* I'm KIDDING! I love "Charm City".
Also, I think it's totally kewl that GWB has taken the "Frist!" honors again! You rawk!
wow. check the Yahoo stock boards for Sinclair - they are getting hammered..
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mb?s=SBGI
I live in baltimore city. Where do I look?
I just love scavenger hunts 
hmm, you're getting classier, "atrios". Why not just publish the guy's home address too? And the school where his kids attend? Send a horde of your little brownshirts over there?
Aaron Brown just interviewed Sinclair's Hyman. "Absolutely no politics involved, just serious journalism." (or smthg like that). Better to check transcript when it comes out.

Just wait a bit,its in the works.
You'll have to wait your turn.In the end all the brownshirts will be found and dealt with accordingly!
Olaf, I'll sign on, drop me a line if you need any help. I'm in the suburbs
Having cultivated a refined sense of irony, we call OURSELVES Baltimorons. Therefore, it's not offensive or amusing for outsiders to use that moniker.
You can't kid a kidder.
Not a mug shot, but a picture of David Smith from Sinclair.
http://tinyurl.com/6wdgv
Pretty understandable why he has to buy his lovin'.
But, note hat, I haven't published his private home address.
His public arrest record, however...
I think we should all begin calling in to daytime radio shows, say anything to get on the air then talk quickly about David Smith's arrest.
We should tell Smith we are going to plaster his name, mugshot and arrest record all over the internet. Anytime anyone types in xxx, horny, liar, cheater, big, little, Bush, if, and, or but into their search engine, it is going to bring up his face and arrest record.
Mwaaaahhhhhh ha ha!
Yo ultimate suxors, I'm pretty sure they prefer to be called "BaltiMORONS." HAHA! Suck on it, oriole-eaters, there's no place for you at the table. Orange food is soul poison, don't be puttin' it on the AMERICAN LAZY SUSAN of POLITICS! SHUT UP DEMOCRAPS! DETROIT WHAT!?
Try asking THESMOKINGGUN.COM as supastated upthread, y'allz.
And, so you know hat, I have his home address and his cell phone number and I won't be posting either.
On calling talk shows, perhaps use the angle that his arrest is a demonstration of Republican hypocrisy, as is the showing of an hourlong Swift Boat Vets ad and calling it news. State that if that movie is shown, it should be followed by "Going Upriver" in the interests of fairness.
Daily Show on reruns?
After Furious George?
DAMN YOU, JON STEWART!
Atrios, maybe someone named "anonymous" should post them. Or, if that's not going to happen, maybe you should google both and see what pops out. Maybe you've already done that.
You know Sinclair is mean and disgusting. Even they might know it.
But, based on the closeness of the race in about ten states, Nader's much more likely to cost Kerry the election.
When you can't accomodate your enemies, accomodate those who used to be your friends.
Give Ralphie all public lands between the Mississippi and the Sierras. Give him a wife if he wants one. Promise him amnesty if he decides to relax and something slips out.
Appoint him to the FCC.
His address was published in the newspaper report of his arrest, although I suspect he has since moved. If you can't stand the heat, don't get sucked off by streetwalkers when there's a cop across the street. Fuckin' MBAs...don't know shit...
Josh Marshall has a potentially good legal strategy on this, courtesy of a reader...check out his site, yo.
have his home address and his cell phone number and I won't be posting either
If it comes down to the same day and they still havent succumbed to the pressure,will you still feel the same?
If it was me in the same scenario,I would post it all that day.Let the cards fall where they may.
At this point in time I am in favor of holding that card.
From talkingpointsmemo, Josh quotes a knowledgeable correspondent:
What they're deathly afraid of is the stink of this thing will somehow waft over to their advertisers. That's of course why they're not selling local ad time for this show. Having worked in the ad department of Sinclair's competitor, I know that local Sinclair stations make over 60% of their ad revenue from their nightly 6pm newscast. That's their bread and butter. You make a concerted effort to go after their top advertisers on the 5pm/6pm news hour and you'll have the executives spiking this show so fast it'll be amazing.
Ignore hat, after all it's only a drive-by insult, seemingly the only thing it's capable of.
Because it's so fucking stupid.
And cowardly.
Oh David Smith is fugly; I feel sorry for him. Does he know there are rampant lesbians in Southeastern Oklahoma?
You know, a good businessman would meet a call girl in a hotel. Penny wise, pound foolish.
I get the sense Hat is a nazi party leader.His posts have more coherency and have more hate to them than your average run of the mill troll.
Not to mention Atrios is almost always adressing his rants.
This picture is worth a thousand turds.

Very interesting stuff on David Smith and Sinclair in this Business Week article...
Hey, I'm trying to deliver a pizza to David Smith's house, but I can't find it and I left his phone number back at the pizzeria! Can someone give me his cell number or home phone number so that I can call his house and get directions! Thanks! I'm sure Mr. Smith will appreciate it when his sausage pizza is delivered piping hot!
(This is not a trick)
Ewwwww... some troll (s)hat in the thread again. Peee-YOU!
Not to mention Atrios is almost always adressing his rants.

All prominent bloggers should be permitted their pet trolls.
Smith is trying to use his power -- power that 99 percent of Americans can't even fathom -- to affect the outcome of the election. Fuck him. Post his home address and phone number. He should have thought about his privacy before he started this.
You mean David Smith, the convicted sex offender who contributed $2,000 to George W. Bush this past February?
Seriously, that should be the stock mention of this guy from everyone associated with the Dems.
To get the picture, go down to Baltimore Police Central Booking and Intake, where he was processed and held, and ask for a copy of the arrest record. It would be from August 13, 1996. It's a public record, and you are supposed to be able to get a copy of any such record for a reasonable cost. Phone numbers are 545-8120 for both Inmate Records and Public Access.
My wife used to work in television. She started as a receptionist. For the sake of the poor man/woman answering the phones, don't call. They only deal with nuts and treat any call as a potential butterfly net call.
If the freakin' stock is 3 1/2, buy some, say 5K worth. Then sell it to a friend (on margin) for 3 1/4. Wait till market firms, then reverse at 3, and so on. You'll ruin some Wall Street 27-year old coke freak Republican's day.
Atrios, this is truely Rovian. I'm scared. What are we turning into?
(Can't wait to see the photo tho. Go get 'em, troops)
Once you get the mug shots what then?
Plaster them all over the place?
Seems to me that if they didn't force him out for the sex offense, then displaying his photo now won't make much difference.
Besides, isn't this sort of what Rove would do?
Besides, shouldn't he be in a sex offender database or something? Isn't that information online somewhere? Online and open to the public as a service meant to inform neighbors that the have a sex offender in the neighborhood?

Think Tank: Iraq War Distracted U.S.
By MARK LAVIE, Associated Press Writer
TEL AVIV, Israel - The war in Iraq did not damage international terror groups, but instead distracted the United States from confronting other hotbeds of Islamic militancy and actually "created momentum" for many terrorists, a top Israeli security think tank said in a report released Monday.
Also check out Josh Marshall's latest on the "Sin"clair issue (especially if you're a lwayer in Maryland). I really want to contact advertisers on Sinclair's stations and let them know I plan to give them zero business in the future. Does anyone know if/where a list of advertisers has been compiled?

Over at Hoffmania, he suggests that Kerry call his bluff and offer to appear for a free hour of promoting himself.
Mr. Kerry - CALL SINCLAIR'S BLUFF!
That's right. Call their bluff. Call Sinclair on their "equal time" gambit. Show up and match their hour of the Kerry smear with another hour. An hour of John Forbes Kerry setting the record straight. Going after Bush. Going after Cheney. Going after the failed policies of this administration.
On all 62 of the Sinclair stations. Every one of them.
For good measure, bring along some tapes of your own. Bush in the Florida classroom. U.S. soldiers in Iraq being ambushed. A woman who loses her son in combat. Where can you get these clips?
A phone call to Micahel Moore ought to do it. He'll be pleased to supply the clips for this.
But do it! Call them on their bluff to give you an hour of equal time. And if they lay ANY restrictions on you, they'll be revealed as the partisan liars which they are.
Go. A free hour of primetime TV airtime awaits. And you'll have the last word, Mr. Kerry.
That is, if Sinclair's as fair as they claim to be.
And if they decide to pull the thing entirely, then we'll know how they had ulterior motives.

oh, and fuck you, hat.
Not a bad idea to try and call their bluff.
I like the free hour idea,too bad the offer is bogus.
Cut 'Going Upriver' into an hour. Kerry offers that as his response.
MYOB - I'm kind of late with this - but you asked Atrios if this wasn't something Rove would do. No - Rove would fabricate the sex charges and then do all the rest - contact people and ask them if they were aware that a sex offender was a big Kerry supporter. Only that person wouldn't really be a sex offender.
See the diff?
Rove must have taken lessons from the FBI. This is an old, revered FBI trick to intimidate witnesses. They will go to the person's creditors and ask if the creditor is aware that the person is invoved in a federal criminal case. Which will technically be true, but...pretty soon, the witness is terrified.
This Man undoubtadly has an army of lawyers. As this is a misdemeanor offense, it is likely that all the records surrounding the arrest have been expunged. You really want to go at him, you are gonna have to find the prostitute. But chances are Ms. DiPaulo has already been adequately compensated for her troubles.
Smallbottle and S-dog have exactly the right idea. Advertisers get really nervous when they hear "boycott." Let's get a list, contact them ourselves and let the magic work. (This also let JFK's campaign remain above this fray.) Market forces... it's the American way!
This is the offer made to Kerry on their website:
We welcome your comments regarding the upcoming special news event featuring the topic of Americans held as prisoners of war in Vietnam. The program has not been videotaped and the exact format of this unscripted event has not been finalized. Characterizations regarding the content are premature and are based on ill-informed sources.
Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has been invited to participate. You can urge him to appear by calling his Washington, D.C. campaign headquarters at
(202) 712-3000.

A sex offense could be being drunk late at night and deciding to try to pee in semi-public (because in the eyes of the law you're "exposing yourself". To nobody. But it doesn't matter).

Even their own website bashes the GOP. How can people survive with so much cognitive dissonance?
Fogerty and Springsteen playing Fortunate Son. Suh-weeeet.
Sex with a street-walking crack whore may not make him a sex offender, but it certainly doesn't say much for his judgment. Don't think I'd be taking political opinions from the think-with-his-pecker Mr. Smith very seriously. About as well-reasoned as the drug-dazed Limbaugh.
Try as he might, arrests are part of the public record and therefore cannot be "expunged." Charges can be dropped, but the arrest still happened. Even Mr. Smith is held to this rule. There is a picture somewhere.
still wandering around in OT land
Until Palm Springs, CA took over the title just recently, Baltimore had the highest reported cases of syphillus per capita in the nation for many years in a row. Including several mutant, untreatable strains.
Also, much of Charm City is not unlike Berlin, Germany circa 1948.
These facts provided as a public service by a loyal, semi-retarded fan of the Don and Mike radio show on live105. With that, I'm taking a natty-bo and goewin to see Cayl at Camden Yahd
When Sinclair refused to air Nightline it argued that the programs was politics disguised as news. Blatant.
I love the idea of John Kerry sitting down for an hour and chatting with these guys. He can just smile that big shit-eating grin of his, and take their livers out through their nostrils.
Don't fuck with the prosecutors, kiddos. I would have thought that was one thing Mr. Smith would have learned in his brushes with the law.

UN: Iraqi Nuclear-Related Materials Have Vanished
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Equipment and materials that could be used to make nuclear weapons are disappearing from Iraq (news - web sites) but neither Baghdad nor Washington appears to have noticed, the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency reported on Monday.
This is the answer we meant to put here: if it is a crime, it is because of shameless hypocrites like him; if that woman has no alternatives to prostitution it is because of Old School respectable shitheads like him.
so here's a thought--
Michael Moore should call up several of the Sinclair stations and ask if he can run ads for F 9/11...to which they will very likely say, "no". That would pretty much put them undeniably on the record as being biased, right?
Okay, I'm nekkid in front of my TV, I hollered HALLIBURTON three times, what now?

TV channels to rubbish Kerry on eve of poll
Julian Borger in Washington
Tuesday October 12, 2004
The Guardian
One of America's biggest television companies has announced plans to broadcast a film days before the presidential election that portrays the Democratic candidate John Kerry as betraying his fellow soldiers in Vietnam.
The conservative Sinclair Broadcast Group will reportedly present the film as news on the 62 local channels it owns nationwide.
The film will replace normal primetime programmes supplied by the national networks and reach up to a quarter of the electorate, many in critical battleground states, about a week before the election on November 2.
In the film, Stolen Honour: Wounds That Never Heal, former US prisoners of war claim that their North Vietnamese interrogators used anti-war statements by Mr Kerry to undermine morale and persuade them to admit war crimes.
A press release for the film, made by a conservative journalist and ex-marine, Carlton Sherwood, accused Mr Kerry of "lies, false testimony and distortions" for his remarks to Congress in 1971, saying US troops had been responsible for atrocities.
The press release alleges that "in mere moments in 1971, Kerry willingly gave the North Vietnamese what the brave PoWs had endured torture and solitary confinement to avoid saying".
Terry McCauliffe, the Democratic party chairman, said the the film was "garbage", and announced his intention to mount a legal challenge.
Mr Kerry has been dogged by such attacks for more than two months, mostly in the form of advertisements paid for by a group calling itself Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
- snip -
Under US broadcasting rules, the film actually gives airtime to Mr Kerry. Andrew Jay Schwartzman, who heads the Media Access Project watchdog, said: "The way our equal time law works depends on what candidate is appearing on the air - so the equal time rule would run to Bush, not to Kerry. It does not provide Kerry a right to reply."
"What this shows is the dangers of media concentration. These are the problems that arise when one company controls 62 channels."
"Republicans for the Environment"
So, once again, I ask:
What keeps them in the Republican Party? Is it the racism or the greed?
We know the guy is slime, but attacking him personally is not the answer. Why not leave those kinds of tactics to the Repugs who do it so well? And censoring his program would be counter-productive. Make him abide by the law but don't make a federal case out of it. It'll just hurt Dems in the end. Just insist on equal time and use it to good advantage.
Sorry, first word in my last comment should have been "this". I was just laughing my ass off too much.
i personally own or have access to at least 25 websites than i can broadcast on without fear of corporate retribution (i.e. they aren't part of a client's portfolio).
i will broadcast this mug shot simultaneously on all sites when sinclair presses play.
Trust the musician. There is no one like The Boss. Dude knows how to have stadiums (stadia?) eating out of his hand.

"Bush will talk about the 1.7 million jobs created since the summer of 2003, and will say that the economy is "strong and getting stronger." That's like boasting about getting a D on your final exam, when you flunked the midterm and needed at least a C to pass the course."
Way off topic.

MTC: With all due respect, I call bullshit all over that idea. He who wants to play dredge up the past for political gain better make sure that the closet is locked and the skeletons well hidden before doing so. Putting a hammerlock on this jerk is fine by me.
He's going after a presidential candidate and united states senator in a crass political stunt that is an abuse of his position as a broadcaster. If you can't stand the heat, don't engage in such behavior.
When CBS tried to make a movie about a soon to be dead former president of the republicans', they rightly went apeshit and got the thing canned. We're just publicizing already public information. What's the problem?
Sorry for all the OT, but I don't fuckin' BELIEVE this concert. Just-- DAMN.

"Sex Offenders for Bush" could replace the swifties (some of them look a tad weird to me too). Old Smith could be up there on the TV waving his $2000 dollar donation and going on about the Republican party being a party of inclusion. The party even has a place for those publicly reviled. Hey and you could even probably fit a few fit prostitutes in the background. That sure would get people watching. I'm on the phone to Rove now.
Seriously though do you reckon his record still exists aftr this stunt?
When he gets to "1..2..3..4" I may faint.

in the old GOP, it was like choosing a major. You had to pick just one. But with the neocons coming it, it's awesome. You can have both!
Look at Richard Perle, double-minoring in graft and extortion. Or Douglas Feith, taking time off from his study of how to expand the defintion of dangerous asshat to delve into researching how to make even less sense. And don't even get me started on Tom DeLay -- he's a regular renaissance man!

Listening the Concert for Change I feel like John Lennon at Shea Stadium just being carried away with the moment. God bless America.

also and OT, why is this not in the NYT et al. Mother Jones, i like their stuff but the first thing one says is they're librul, not that there is anything wrong with that.
He was growing skeptical of the administration’s motives in Iraq. “Stuff wasn’t adding up,” he recalls. “Bush was trying to connect the terrorists with Iraq, and there was no proof for that. I was starting to think that we kind of put the blame on Iraq so we could go over there and make money for companies.” He considered what his job might be if he were deployed; as a cryptologist, he could have been handling information leading to raids and arrests. “I didn’t want to be a part of putting innocent people in prison,” he says. “I felt that what we were doing there was wrong.”
Though Sanders has kept away from the spotlight, other deserters have attracted headlines around the world—and drawn criticism from the war’s supporters. Fox’s Bill O’Reilly called their actions “insulting to America, and especially to those American soldiers who have lost their lives fighting terrorists.”

Kingfish, are you signed up with the local party? I know the Virginia coordinated campaign is slaving away these days with canvassing, phone banking, still running down party id on some people, etc. If you possibly can, take off election day and volunteer to phone bank, poll watch, or drive people to vote. And carry lit/buttons/stickers with you everywhere. I've given away my last Kerry button a half dozen times.
If your state has a coordinated campaign, work with them. It would be nice to get Kerry elected, but it would be even better to win the senate and house races too.

Putting a hammerlock on this jerk is fine by me.
OK calm down and ask yourself, in the end what will it accomplish? So you get the thing pulled, in the meantime the Mighty Wurlitzer is fired up and the Repugs start crying CENSORSHIP. Soon everybody's got to see it. Remember that's what happened with F 9/11. Much better to run a rebuttal or "Going Upriver" while at the same time letting people know that while this is blatant politics you are not going to try to censor it, just give the facts.

welcome to the new political reality, where the decent side realizes it needs to go down into the sewer and fight the terrorists where they are (which is not iraq BTW)
well ok now it is. the Iraq war "has created momentum for many terrorist elements
President Bush (news - web sites) has called the war in Iraq an integral part of the war on terrorism, saying that deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) hoped to develop unconventional weapons and could have given them to Islamic militants across the world.
But the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University said that instead of striking a blow against Islamic extremists, the Iraq war "has created momentum for many terrorist elements, but chiefly al-Qaida and its affiliates."
Instead, he said, the Iraq campaign is having the opposite effect, drawing Islamic extremists from other parts of the world to join the battle.
"On a strategic level as well as an operational level," Brom concluded, "the war in Iraq is hurting the war on international terrorism." but i already knew that and i'm just a mook with a computer.

I thought about that. We may take something that most people would not have scene and make everybody want to see it. Probably what they had in mind. It is just that nothing like this has ever been pulled before and it motivates me to do more to get these people out of power. Sinclair should be attacked and destroyed in an economic way. If we can take it down it will only help take down others. It would give the Progressive movement a victory and giver us more clout in dealing with others. It also helps organize and focus the movement by showing that the so called "Liberal Media" is really the corporate media whores that we have said all along. What do ya'll think

Central -- neither do I. It was webcast. Unfortunately, the program that was supposed to record it crashed before saving, so four fucking hours (I came in late) of exquisite rock and roll are lost in the ether. They'd better release this sumbitch. And I'd bet it gets rebroadcast.

actually, humble opinion makes a good point. but i really am sick of repugnants. one way or another i smell revolution. bush is fucking this country right in the ass. i remember nixon, vietnam, it did not end pretty. and this is much worse, al qaeda really does exist and 9/11 resulted in precisely what they wanted. why? because bush is dumber than a baltimoron and if you have been to dundalk, you know that is saying something. rich white trash, is still white trash.

So you get the thing pulled, in the meantime the Mighty Wurlitzer is fired up and the Repugs start crying CENSORSHIP.
so then we get to explain to the petty little motherfuckers for the 457th time that censorship is government suppression of free speech, and that these assholes are a private company and are responding to the requests of their customers, who have made it abundantly clear that Sinclair will not profit from this type of behavior.
There's an Indian restaurant near my house that is agreed by every food critic in my city to be fantastic. I won't go near the place. A friend of mine ate there, a cockroach scurried across the plate and not only did the hostess not apologize, she didn't comp them them the goddamn dinner which was the least they could have done.
Someplace gives you shitty service, you don't go back and you warn off your friends before they spend money on food that's got bugs in it.
This is no different. My friend's not telling anybody at this restaurant they can't cook the food. She's just telling people who mention it to her that the place sucks. I for one am grateful for the information.

Do you think the terrorist saw this tonight and pissed their pants. If America comes together behind John Kerry (which can happen if Kerry takes it with a landslide) there is nothing we cannot do. We have a price to pay for all the maddness we have caused in Iraq. I hope that we can redeem ourselves by restoring America and that light can light the world.

Filkerton -- aww, SHIT.
I've been watching since 7pm here. If I'd known how it was going to be, I'd have recorded over 2.5 of my most treasured videotapes to trap this without a single regret.
They're BOUND to release this as a DVD. We'll need funds no matter what happens November 2. They should, however, release it tomorrow morning. BTW, I could swear I read someone here was bit-torrenting it -- that's good, right? (I know nothing of this bit-torrent technology.)

Putting a hammerlock on this jerk is fine by me.
Look, the idea is to try to attract people to the Democratic Party by being an appealing alternative to the nasty, low down dirty tricks of the Republicans. Otherwise, Nader is right, they're all the same (at least in the average joe's mind).
Make a media case out of this first by stating that this is blatantly unfair, then without threatening to try to censor it, first inquire if it is legal (even if you already know the answer) then publically seek ways to counter-balance it. Will the stations involved give equal time (if they won't that would be big news of crass partisanship; then you censor it purely out of fairness).

Remember the English Language Terror Alerts
Back to the cargo inspection proposal by the Democratic challenger. Although a promising and far-reaching homeland security plan, it would be important that the first suspicious container to be inspected is an empty suit that governs from a bunker in Washington DC, the Preznut himself, Dubya. Please help us, John Kerry - help us help ourselves - before the Chimperor destroys the english language any further:

Not true, but thanks for sharing your theory.
It's never a bad idea to confront Republican hypocrites with the truth about their own behavior. It's not a dirty trick; it's a moral duty.
Nader's got his own moral failings to worry about, and the "average Joe" you invoke couldn't give two shits about what he has to say. He is, to coin a phrase, a dead man walking.

Tomorrow's WaPo

Mark E. Hyman, the company vice president who went to Iraq in search of uplifting news, is an unabashed Bush supporter and Republican Party donor who delivers a daily commentary on Sinclair stations. He told viewers last month that Kerry had enlisted in the Navy to avoid the draft...
Joining the service to avoid the draft? Well, shit, why didn't everyone ELSE think of that?
What an utter asshat.

Tomorrow's WaPo
on Sinclair.
Mark E. Hyman, the company vice president who went to Iraq in search of uplifting news, is an unabashed Bush supporter and Republican Party donor who delivers a daily commentary on Sinclair stations. He told viewers last month that Kerry had enlisted in the Navy to avoid the draft...

Philalethes, You're right, it's not true. But were talking about perceptions here not truth. That's why I said: otherwise, Nader is right, they're all the same (at least in the average joe's mind).
and the "average Joe" you invoke couldn't give two shits about what he has to say. True again but Nader still does have some followers and polls show them fluctuating between .5 to 3%. Do Democrats really want to estrange those who are already "holding their noses" to vote with them? Then when you count in those who never vote because they think both partys are the same and they are tired of all the negativity but who were thinking about making an exception this time around since Bush is such an ass. Do Democrats really want to get involved in another of these petty back-and-forth disputes?
I'm just saying that while censoring Sinclair would be satisfying in the short term it could bite Dems in the butt in a big way a little further down the road. Know what I mean?
Now this would probably stop them, they have to broadcast, after their program, a show about Bush's military "service", just out of fairness :-D I suspect that the interset in the Kerry piece would wane rather quickly.

If you really, seriously think this is a time to win on "the issues", think about the corporate tax relief bill on its way to the shitheads' desk. Is there any reason to entertain the merest hint of a suggestion that anyone in DC plays fair? Money trumps fairness every time. Always will.
Some wimpy-assed liberal squealing
"Unfair! Unfair!" means nothing to these guys. Hauling their asses into court, siccing the FEC, SEC and/or the FCC on them, having DS spend his entire week on the phone with angry major shareholders and furious advertisers, not to mention network legal departments, that means something. A blowtorch to his wallet makes a lasting impression. Part of the reason he thinks he can get away with it is because he thinks he can get away with it. Show him, in no uncertain terms, that he can't. Squealing "Unfair! Unfair!" isn't going to cut it this time. Like whoever said, don't bring a popsicle stick to knife fight.

You're right that squealing "Unfair! Unfair!" won't have any effect on Sinclair - it's for the media and the public's information. And you don't have to "squeal" just be professional. Let it be known that you view this as blatantly partisan however you are not trying to censor, just have equal time. Give them about week say (since the days are running out), give Sinclair a chance to offer equal time. After this, when it's plain in the public eye that they don't intend to offer balance then go big guns based on fairness and the law.

I have written a letter that you can forward to the people at Sinclair..
Just cut change the name and function of the people that you submit the emails to....which are courtesy of Air America Radio ( I take no credit for this help )
Mark Hyman, spokesman: mhymen@sbgnet.com.
David Smith, President and CEO: dsmith@sbgnet.com
Joe Defeo, Vice President and News Director: jdefeo@sbgnet.com
Please feel free to use this letter verbatim!
Dear David Smith,
I highly disagree with your decision as CEO of the Sinclair Broadcasting group to allow a partisan documentary play during prime time two weeks before the election. As the CEO you have the power to prevent this blatant disregard for the accepted norm of broadcasts during election time that has allowed for equal voice of opposing views. By allowing such an act to continue you are overstepping the limits that have been granted to you by the citizens of the United States who ultimately own the rights to the broadcast spectrum that your business has been permitted to use. I therefore urge you to cease this plan of action in favor of allowing the citizens of this great country to get equal and opposite coverage of the various political spectra.
In addition, I would like to inform you that if you continue to persist with such action then the people of the United States will be forced to take action. For instance http://www.theleftcoaster.com/ar...ves/
002985.html, lists a number of stations that are coming up for renewal of their FCC license. It would be less than fortunate if thousands of protesters would happen to file grievances against your corporation and hence bog you down with months of lawsuits. In addition, a comprehensive list of your sponsors has been listed on http://www.boycottsbg.com/advertisers/ and is being targeted for boycott in the event that you follow through with your decision. Finally, I would like to point out that the press release that the Sinclair group gave in response to ABC’s decision to read the names of the (at the time ) 721 American soldiers killed in battle, read “Mr. Koppel and 'Nightline' are hiding behind this so-called tribute in an effort to highlight only one aspect of the war effort and in doing so to influence public opinion against the military action in Iraq”. It would be quite unfortunate if the Sinclair group’s reputation became irreparably damaged by following through with a course of action that would only solidify claims that it engages in grossly partisan endeavors.
Sincerely,
Please alter , enhance, modify it so that we can crush these SOBS!!!

Sinclair, what a joke. Every time the CEO opens his mouth, the stock drops 10%. It's down over 50% this year alone. Are they masochists? The company is 68% controlled by the Smith family, so they take the equity hit disproportionately. I don't get it.
Is it just me, or is the entire Repub party self-destructing? Sex-offender CEOs with tanking stocks. Senate candidate claiming "rampant lesbianism" (OKLA). Senate candidate saying pregnant single women shouldn't teach in public school (SC). Senate candidate obviously campaigning with worsening Alzheimer's (KY). WTF is going on?

IMHO -
We're on the same page. I'm advocating use of any and all weaponry in the arsenal, not just invoking the "We won't sully ourselves by crawling around in the gutter with THEM" clause, as per usual. This time, it has to hurt. THEM. Not us. It's way too important this time around.

These calls for equal time are incredibly naive. The last thing you want is Kerry or anybody else appearing with a rightwing host under the guise of equal time. Not only would it be an O'Reilly-type fiasco, it would legitimize this criminal enterprise.
People better understand we're at war here. These guys stole one election already. Now they have Sinclair with stations that reach 25% of the country, side-by-side with fellow neo-Nazi Rupert Murdoch and his Fox network/newspaper chain reaching the remainder. There was a reason the GOP congress threw out restrictions regarding conglomerate media ownership. Everything is geared toward ONE PARTY rule.
If they steal another election through the use of their anything-goes playbook, you won't have to worry whether to boycott or play Mr. Free Speech advocate. You're going to end up the modern day equivalent of those "understanding" Jews in Berlin circa 1934.
In response to an expanded Patriot Act, continued Tom Delay re-apportionment campaigns guaranteeing one-party rule, massive corporate corruption and environmental exploitation, you're most likely going to see the reinvention of groups like the Weather Underground and homegrown Baader-Meinhoff Gangs. Because once these guys have consolidated their rule, which is about 80% complete at this point, peace love and understanding will be a fool's errand.
The Taliban blew up the Buddha statues. Ashcroft covered the Spirit of Justice statue at OUR Department of Justice, both literally and metaphorically, so he wouldn't have to gaze upon Lady Justice's naked breasts. Welcome to rule under the American Taliban. Time to quit snoozing, folks.

Should be no problem for the Repubs. Now that they've suddenly become the champions of free speech and the first amendment they shouldn't mind at all giving their opponents a chance to respond.
jimi, your letter has good points but it's also a bit confused in places:
As the CEO you have the power to prevent this blatant disregard for the accepted norm of broadcasts during election time that has allowed for equal voice of opposing views. huh?
I therefore urge you to cease this plan of action in favor of allowing the citizens of this great country to get equal and opposite coverage you're not asking them to cease (yet) just provide equal time (with no follow up rebuttal on their part).
in an effort to highlight only one aspect of the war effort and in doing so to influence public opinion against the military action in Iraq don't you mean influence public opinion for the military action in Iraq?

Regretfully, I agree. Gets our heads out of our .. armpits and realize that this is really a do or die situation. Literally.
However, Bush is the sympton, not the disease. Been going on for over 10 years, in hindsight of course. We all thought it was just some wingnuts like Gingrich hitting a homer for once, not corking the bat so that they hit a homer every turn at the plate.
With the media all in place, the Supremes ready to help, the R-Congress and then in 2000, the Cherry on top selection of bush, their rule of us was accomplished.
It will take longer than just the defeat of bush (if we can do that first of course) to get America back. If we cannot defeat Bush, then I agree we will have to return to underground groups as well as challenging them in every legal format. Won't win because of slanted judiciary, but we have to get the people to wake up.
Getting the public to follow will be difficult. Just look at Bush's poll numbers to see just how difficult it will be to get the American public to disbelieve their news and believe the underground.
Dis-selecting Bush is only the beginning.

We're on the same page. I'm advocating use of any and all weaponry in the arsenal yes but do it in an thoughtful, orderly fashion.
This time, it has to hurt. THEM. Not us. If you stop it legally right now people are going to wonder 'what it is you don't want them to see so badly', what are you trying to hide? And while you may hurt Sinclair, the rest of the Repugs will be delighted. It'd be kind of like pinching a giant who has you by the throat.

Sinclair Broadcasting and it's stations should be boycotted after making a list of it's advertisers to inform them that you will not be buying their products or using their services. State agencies should not pay for public service messages on these stations. If these Republican thugs are allowed to get away with this they will open the door for the rest of them to become the Radio Pyongyang of the United States of Slimearica.
I'm told CNN gave Sinclair a soap box to promote their Bush Push this morning. Boycott CNN too.

No, not a true story. Baltimore, Maryland, USA is named for Baltimore, County Cork, Ireland. In Gaellic, Baltimore means "white house"

There is no more "equal time" rule.
It was abolished.
That's why we have outfits like Sinclair and Fox to worry about.
They don't have to be fair. And besides, if they consider the Kerry peice "News" they wouldn't have had to give equal time.

Sammy, if we dont win this one, legally, we'll NEVER be able to win legally, and will have to turn to other means if we are not to simply roll over and die...

Talkingpoints Memo
One of his correspondents (who works in a local TV market and has friends in Sinclair local stations) writes this:
What they're deathly afraid of is the stink of this thing will somehow waft over to their advertisers. That's of course why they're not selling local ad time for this show. Having worked in the ad department of Sinclair's competitor, I know that local Sinclair stations make over 60% of their ad revenue from their nightly 6pm newscast. That's their bread and butter. You make a concerted effort to go after their top advertisers on the 5pm/6pm news hour and you'll have the executives spiking this show so fast it'll be amazing.

actually, the st. paul police department takes pictures of all the johns and hookers they bust and post them immediately on their web site.
Heh. Here (or, more precisely, the county a mile west of me) they have a sheriff who posts his entire wanted list on a full page of the local newspaper.
In color.
(He also sponsors a rodeo every spring.)

What is needed is for a documentary that supports the fact that Vietnam did indeed have some bad apples as Kerry stated. There's no way that Kerry can or should have to personally rebut 2 hours of programing. But a doc would have other voices and historical scenes confirming what happened.
