Color of Change first seriously battled the network last summer, when they lead the charge of getting advertisers to drop Glenn Beck after he said President Obama held a “deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.“ Then in September, Glenn Beck got his revenge when a petition saying the Bush administration “may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen” was found with the signature of Color of Change founder Van Jones on it. Though Jones vehemently denied this was a stance he held, the damage was done and he was forced to resign as Obama’s Green Jobs Czar.
Now today, the organization is striking again by giving out these “Turn Off FOX” stickers to anyone in America willing to sign a petition saying FOX is “spreading hate, lies and division.”
FOX and ColorOfChange.org have had a long and conflict-filled history. So perhaps as the people who chose to do so are putting these stickers on their cars, they get reminded that it’s also time we all learn to Coexist.

They should be going after Yahoo news. What a left wing-nut slant their stories reflect. The Propaganda machine is frantic to make Obummer look good right now. I don't care for Faux news as I call them. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a web site called against the current didn't come out. What the hell is wrong with everyone? We know when lies are being spouted, we know propaganda when we see it. On the left or right it's obviously wrong and we know it but refuse to recognize it for what it is. Wake up America.

If it wasn't for fox news we would be as stupid as most of the lefties, thinking that Obama was doing a great job, that we are heading in the right direction and this is all going to end after our summer of recovery. Well it hasn't worked out so well has it everything has gone to hell in a hand basket and Obama is to blame !!! The people that watch Fox news knew this over a year ago because it has been on Fox news and Fox news only, the rest of you watch the Obama ass kissing channel that tells you everything is going to be alright, Hows that hope and change working so far ? If I wanted to live in a Soviet run Country I would move there I sure as hell don't want it shoved down my throat, like health care that now, just like Fox news told you before it was shoved down our throats was going to cost us all more money and that Obama's numbers were all wrong. If my head was buried in the sand so far that I couldn't see what Obama is trying to do to this Country, I would be a Democrat also. Thank God Real Americans are waking up and wanting to save this Great Country of our before he completely destroys it to the point it can't be saved, if we are not already to late.

Seriously??? Obama is only one man and he does not have a vote on legislation--so it was technically the current mix of both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate and House that took billions of dollars in lobbyist money and forced health care reform down everybody's throat.
Also again since President Obama is not in charge of the office of the budget committee and not Treasury secretary and does not have a degree in economics--inherently it's not "his" numbers that were flawed.
Oh and when REPUBLICAN President George W. Bush took office we were at peace, we did not have a huge deficit, unemployment was low, new home sales were high and we did not know that we were supposed to hate every Muslim that dared to breath or walk up right in the United States.
Also under REPUBLICAN President George W. Bush--nothing was happening to seriously disrupt oil markets--aside from a couple of Hurricane's named Katrina and Rita--but we had "you're doing a heck of a job Brownie" on point so that was no problem for the oil industry to deal with or recover from and mysteriously a gallon of gasoline went up to over $4 a gallon and the cost of a barrel of oil went up to almost $200.
By contrast when millions and millions of barrels of oil WERE being spilled into the Gulf by a busted pipeline-- because something I had to learn from those other news networks was that Haliburton--Dick Cheney's company built and/or managed the oil rig that exploded--and somehow it worked perfectly through two hurricanes and a nasty winter blizzard and government contract season in Washington-but then President Obama took office and suddenly the pipeline bursts and the pressure fails and Dick Cheney is "in the wind" and has absolutely nothing to say to ANY of the media outlets including Fox in defense of his company and their products. Oh and despite the massive amounts of oil being lost and not being and not able to be sold-- gasoline prices haven't spiked hardly at all--nor have oil prices spiked suddenly now that President Obama ended the combat troops mission in Iraq.
So yeah just keep wearing that tinfoil hat and investing in gold and apocalypse bunkers there addie--because living in fear and hating on everybody besides white christian males is is the true message that Fox news who's largest shareholder is a Muslim who actually lives IN Saudi Arabia wants you to hear.
To quote Stephen Colbert--"Remember to pray for Glenn Beck and his fellow reporters on Fox news -- just as they are preying on you."
And notice--I never once assumed you were Republican or Democrat or assumed who you voted for in the Presidential election.

Also yeah thanks for the tip -- I had absolutely no idea that Real Americans was the label I wanted for the idiots who insight riots or don't accept any accountability for their role in a guy climbing in a cab and slicing the neck, throat, and hands of a cab driver for saying yes he was Muslim, or boycott soldier's funerals with signs that say military service causes AIDS or protest against religious freedom or burn other religions holy scripture while bitching about their absolute right to believe in and hold the own religious text sacred or encourage 21 year old men to dress up like pimps and secretly wiretap people and to follow that up with trying to illegally wire tap a sitting US Senator's office or think abortion is wrong but agree with the death penalty and "honor" Martin Luther King Jr.'s " I had a dream speech" anniversary by organizing a one sided political rally that will be attended by people who also hold a fondness for guns, violence, and the KKK literature or turn their back on every principle they believed in and held dear just because a black man (or a Democrat) was elected to serve as President for at the maximum 8 years.and fought for or think that its really good immigration policy to allow the police even more lead way to racially profile people of color and justify it--or do any of the other really ignorant,hateful, bigoted, and down right stupid stuff the fringe Republicans did over the last 8 years under George W. Bush and will continue to do since the Congress is pretty much still the same mix as it was before President Obama's election.

Brother, while I respect your views, they make me sad.
The media lies to everyone, it's not just Fox News. However, it has been proven that Fox has given "misinformation", and has been called on it numerous times. I'm talking flat-out fabrications...not just bending the truth.
-They can get away with this, because those who "report" it are not "journalists" they are "Opinionators". They give opinions. Opinions are not facts. -Which makes it NOT news.Our nation was founded with the people in mind. Our government is elected by the people.
There is nothing oppressive about that. We have no self-appointed dictators. If you don't like Obama, just don't vote for him next term, and he'll be gone. He's not a dictator.He holds the same position that was held by Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, etc.
Their sole responsibility is to approve laws passed by congress, or veto them.
You can thank Congress for all of the new laws, changing the constitution, etc.It makes me sad to see someone believe such lies from a fake news channel, without researching the facts, and just taking everything on face value.
It makes me sad that there are many others like you, who don't care enough to look for the truth, because it takes too much time...If I was on Fox news, and I told you that Zombies were attacking people in Vermont, would you believe me? - 1 year ago

Right, because it was Obama's deregulation of bank and business laws that allowed risky investments that tanked our economy... oh, wait... that was Bush shilling the conservative economic stance about how we need less government regulating our businesses and economy.

gee "notfooled" your name is so ironic based on your comment since you were obviously "fooled" by the idiots over at Fox news and did not stop to think for yourself or check a source besides Wikipedia or Glenn Beck's website or read a history book-- that the economy was completely killed off by Republican policies that started with Ronald Reagan and cummulated under George W. Bush.

Reaganomics:
Cute source. I really liked the mission statement though, which was in their "about" section of the website.
"To formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."
National defense suggests military, which is run by the government. So how does one limit government while keeping a strong military?
Also, I would think Reaganomics would be a lot more convincing if the lowest the national debt had been wasn't at the end of the Clinton administration, as opposed to the steady growth it had been undergoing before hand.

Yeah okay, and Ronald Reagan was the best President ever...wake up and smell the coffee, don't be ignorant to the fact that FOX News truly dose spread hate and fear. Look at all the conservative masses that have been driven into a frenzy by people like Glenn Beck. Fox News rarely presents actual facts...most as far fetched assumptions and outright lies which manipulate people into sharing their views. Even though I am one of those scary liberal folks I like to hear all sides of the news and different opinions and ideas from an intelligent perspective. Fox News is more like ignorant ranting, similar to something you would hear from an uneducated person speaking about something they really don't understand.
