“Turn off the hate”
Are you disgusted by the hateful, lying poltical ads we are being subjected to? I surely am. Therefore, I vow to turn off the TV or radio every time I hear an attack ad, particularly those anonymous smear jobs the Supreme Court allowed recently–those Super-pac ads, which conveniently allow the candidates themselves to repudiate them.
I bet if everyone would do this–and inform the radio and TV stations that we are doing so–we might just see some results.
Who is with me? Anyone wanting to spread this idea , go for it. I don’t want any credit, I just want to be able to watch some TV without feeling like I need to take a shower.

I’m with you friend, way ahead of you – but it’s difficult to change the channel on the tele all the time so I’ve moved to watching most of my news, movies, and shows on many different websites over the Net. As for the radio, aside from language learning audio tapes, audio books, and the like I have 9 stations to fall back on so I can continuously change the station to skip ads and smear campaigns.
