The word "silence" seems to be incorrect. From your link:

By his own account, Spocko worked quietly, deliberately, and pretty much in isolation. He established contact with the advertising departments of corporations, linking audio of offensive commentary in his messages. He researched their corporate statement of values, and asked them to consider offensive content in light of those values. When a controversial radio personality voiced a company's ads, Spocko observed that this person was also the voice of the company. Spocko emphasized that withdrawing advertising support for a show didn't limit a host's free speech, it was simply ceasing to support offensive content with advertising dollars. He would summarize, "You can choose to advertise elsewhere. This is really about YOU. Do YOU want to be associated with these comments? Do you want your company and brand to be associated with these comments?"

Emphasis added.

You are all free to hate me now.

re: #9 Killgore Trout

You have a problem with this?

Spocko began posting the recordings in October 2005 on his blog, which evolved into a campaign to E-mail the clips to advertisers and urge them to drop their ads from KSFO.

"The advertisers, in a lot of cases, don't know this is going on," said Spocko. "They hear it, and they can choose to say, 'Well, that really doesn't reflect our corporate brand.' "

It worked.

He's simply providing the advertisers with a service, the opportunity to listen to what they've been sponsoring.

The girls in that video need to watch this:

It was a long, eventful week, just ended. But the weird customer of the week award goes to a woman who was in on Tuesday morning. She was a large woman, resembling a fertility icon, except for the tattoos and the (male) Marine-type haircut. She told me a lot about herself, along the lines of having been kidnapped by Walt Disney as an infant and raised by strangers, having been beat up the night before and woke up in a ditch, and so on. She bought a bracelet (I don't usually sell jewelry, but we have some stuff on consignment for a friend) and when I put it on her wrist, she said "We're now married in the Wiccan church."

That afternoon, she came back and told me the bracelet had fallen off and she lost it. She said, "Someone must have needed it more than I did." All I could think was "Thank Goddess!"

re: #32 SpaceJesus

I think libertarianism is a marketing ploy, a rebranding.

Its adherents claim otherwise but since its central tenet, or so it seems to me, is, "When all forms of illegitimate authority vanish, and all of them are illegitimate, the world will be wonderful forever," shows they are anarchists.

Why the rebranding?

Well, giving it a new name cuts them off from history. Anarchy has a bad rep. So libertarians don't carry the weight of anarchy's past.

The other reason is that it sets the debate in favour of the libertarians before it even starts. Since liberty is the root word to argue against libertarianism is to argue against liberty itself. It's a rhetorical trick, but effective.

One of the best things I read recently was a conservative critique of libertarianism, Marxism of the Right. Although I disagree with some of his statements it's an excellent deconstruction of libertarianism.

re: #111 Gus

Republicans love the teleprompter meme because it's perfectly Rovian, paint the opposition with one's own flaws. If the problem is that Republican candidates are all conversationally inept and uninspiring then there must be some other way of explaining why Obama keeps knocking speeches out of the park. They ignore the fact that he's written many of his own speeches and delivered many without a teleprompter because their audience is desperately hungry for a reason to dismiss this glaring gap in execution. Obama makes it look easy because for him it is, regardless of the format. So while Bush looked like a happy yokel, McCain an old fool, Palin an idiotic airhead and Romney an awkward android - Obama just looks cool, comfortable and connected, like someone who not only "gets it" but is enjoying himself at the same time.

Sometimes I really enjoy you, D_F...you're a great caricature of a Republican faithful soldier for Christ.

Feet of clay? You mean like Romney who can't stand up to the crazy theocrats in his party? Or can't even grow a spine to say anything worth a damn about Rush Limbaugh or Ted Nugent -- even after making a veiled threat to the president. From the flip flopping BULLSHIT ARTIST known as Mitt Romney? Those feet a clay?

We all know he has a teleprompter with good speechwriters (himself included). We've known that for 5 years. What insightful observation will you make next--that he's half black, half white?

Your use of terms like "idol" and "Beloved Leader" to describe the president prove that you're not sincere in your comments, you're simply throwing around RW talking points like a dutiful, but mindless, Lim-bot.

Why should anyone take you seriously?

1) Repeat a nonsensical talking point.
2) When called on it play the victim.
3) When called on that, project butt hurt.
4) When called on that, return to #1.

If I remember correctly, your comment about Obama reading well from a teleprompter and having good writers, it was followed by a BFD.

Good...because I quite enjoy being an asshole.

Both Kevin D. Williamson and Nicle Gelinas have written columns using narratives to go after the Obama campaign's "Life of Julia". Of the two, I think Gelinas has the better one. It not nasty-hostile like Willianson's, but it makes its point and cuts Obama down a peg.

re: #138 Dark_Falcon

What does Mitt Stand for again?

It seemed like it was 'his turn' and he seemed electable. My problem with him has become that he stands for nothing but a desire to be president. In that regard, he's worse than Gingrich, and worse than Obama as well. Both Barack and Newt want to be president because they have things they want to do and they need the presidency to enact them. Romney seems to just want to be president.

It's be nice if you at least actually acknowledged having said these things, and not all that long ago.

His use of footage of Obama wasn't quite as bad as what Grayson did, but it was very bad in my eyes. It'll prevent me from voting for Romney in the primary, since I don't support that sort of dishonesty. Mitt seems to have his eyes too closely focused on the prize, to the exclusion of principles and honesty.

It's fairly difficult at this point to understand what either of you really stand for, except perhaps momentary expedience.

Speaking of crazy theocrats and feet of clay, a well known fundamentalist Reformed organization, Ligonier Ministries, headed by R.C. Sproul, had a conference recently called The Christian Mind, with such invited luminaries as Stephen "The Cell is Too Hard For Me" Meyer, Mullah Al Mohler, and Del "The Delusional" Tackett.

And yes, they recorded the major sessions for all of us to enjoy.

For example, on the second day of questions they take up the age of the universe, at 42 minutes into this video:
[Link: www.ligonier.org...]

In the first day of questions, among other sticky questions, they tackle whether it is a sin for a Christian to vote for a Mormon or a Catholic, starts at 28:48:

If you feel you just have too many brain cells you can watch those videos and take care of the problem. But take heart, the speakers aren't using teleprompters.

You really think that's bullying?

So, I was talking with a "trying very hard to stay current" conservative. A person having a very difficult time with it all. Anyway, we were talking about LGBT topics and the biggest issue is that that person is afraid teenagers will experiment with the "lifestyle.".

My answer was, "So What?"

As this person has a relative or two who is LGBT and is totally supportive of them because they are good people, the concept was totally a conflict in their mind.

IMHO, teenagers experiment with sex regardless of anything we teach or don't teach. The only difference is whether or not they take away a sense of guilt and shame because of what is taught or not taught.

Those emotions are far more damaging than the experimentation itself.

Maybe he's not Einstein; on the other hand, he is clearly smarter than about 99%+ of the humans roaming the earth.

Pregnancy is not often a danger during homosexual experimentation.

I've heard that . . .

AND a lot of "experimentation" is what I would call foreplay. Again, no pregnancy danger, but there danger of spreading disease.

A lot of kids don't realize that.

Another thing I've noticed about right-leaning men is that they have a hard time taking words at face value.

There seems to be some built-in filter that translates everything to "man speak".

Everything is considered a challenge or attempt at dominance.

I DON'T GET IT AT ALL.

I find it a real communication problem. Once guys realize I am "speaking girl" they calm down. I don't think many have learned the ability to do that if the speaker is a straight male.

And here too:

In terms of women's health, douching - contrary to the "oh so fresh feeling" marketing malarkey - is completely unnecessary, destroying the vagina's natural, healthy pH balance and leaving women more vulnerable to infections.

Tu quoque.

You made some stupid comments earlier during your sudden inspiration for trolling this afternoon. I noticed those and ignored them since I really didn't care. You got down dinged left and right and made the bottom ten which led you to get really pissed off. Not just pissed off but depressed and probably a little bit sad. Then you came back -- not willing to count your losses -- and stuck your foot in your mouth with your belly aching and that "Beloved Leader" troll bait. You're continuing this behavior leads me only to believe that your acting similarly to what is colloquially called a douche bag interjected with the occasional troll bait.

I recently passed the coveted 4:1 karma ratio. Sure, like anything worth doing well there's a massive amount of whoring involved, but my biggest secret is basic situational awareness, something you're sorely lacking. If you make a stupid joke or something, know when to cut your losses, don't keep goddamned perseverating trying to hammer home your bullshit, unwelcome stupid opinion. People differ here, if for whatever reason you find yourself unable sell your point of view with a modicum of skill or talent then the answer isn't to keep whining about it over and over again, the answer is to shut the fuck up and then go talk to someone who demonstrably gives a shit.

But by all means, feel free to ignore this bit of advice and continue in your running cock fight with reality.
