not view any program that is on ABC and boycott, if at all possible, the
sponsors of ABC.  Barbara Walters said that this was going to hurt ABC bad.
As you know she works for ABC.

This should make your blood boil...it DOES mine!

ABC NEWS BANS FLAG LAPEL PINS!

YESTERDAY THE BRASS AT ABC NEWS ISSUED ORDERS FORBIDDING REPORTERS TO WEAR
LAPEL PIN AMERICAN FLAGS OR OTHER PATRIOTIC INSIGNIA.  THEIR REASONING WAS
THAT ABC SHOULD REMAIN NEUTRAL ABOUT 'CAUSES'.

SINCE WHEN IS SUPPORT FOR PREVENTING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION SOME SORT OF A
'CAUSE'?  SINCE WHEN IS PATRIOTISM TO BE DISCOURAGED?

I URGE YOU TO BOYCOTT ABC AND ITS SPONSORS AND AFFILIATES.  WE ARE SLOWLY
LOSING EVERYTHING OUR COUNTRY STANDS FOR AND EVERYTHING OUR MEN AND WOMEN
FOUGHT AND DIED TO PRESERVE!

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN.  THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED THROUGH:
http://www.snopes.com/rumors/noflags.asp
<http://www.snopes.com/rumors/noflags.asp>

as well as through:

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/a/abcflag.htm

THIS ONE NEEDS TO GET OUT IF IT HASN'T ALREADY!

Any so-called "cause" that is offended by the sight of the American Flag is not one that needs to be supported.

Fuck 'em.

The best we as individuals can do is support our country, interact with like-minded individuals, and be diligent on gun issues and any upcoming negative legislation.

Ultimately, I believe (unfortunately) that there's nothing we can do to sway these massive corporations and entities from doing what they want.

Please God give this country a real leader. One that sends treasonous scum to rot in jail. Someone that will clean fucking house.

How can these people not realize they are contributing to the death of our nation?

For God's sake what's wrong with you people.
Like if and when they did wear them they were like, uh, fucking patriots!

Just send em all Red Flag lapel pins- that should be just left of center for those commie bastards to declare themselves neutral.

True.  Supposedly to protect their reporters in Arab countries.  ABC brass mandated it after 9/11.

Next time I see a Mexican flag, it's coming down. There is only enough room in America for one flag and it's the Stars & Stripes.

Wonder what their policy is on rubber wrist bands and the various colored ribbons; each denoting a specific cause.

Groups of like minded people who support freedom and pro-gun issues seems to be getting smaller every day. The sheer igornance of issues just from co-workers is mind numbing.

Here's their address I just wrote them a letter & informed them
of my disapointment & I would no longer be
watching anything they had to offer

I read above someone said they didn't watch ABC anyway...hell I don't watch any show that has commericals except when I want the news, but not for anything else.
But they don't know that

Show of hands, please:  How many thought ABC was patriotic before this announcement?

That's what I thought.
