Homophobe Bigot John Gibson - Part Two

My first post of the day concerned the inexcusable comments by Fox's John Gibson concerning Heath Ledger's death. Gibson remained unapologetic and has made additional crude remarks. Think Progress (http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/24/gibson-defends-brokeback/) has the following links that will allow readers to voice their disgust and outrage:

Don’t let Gibson “get away” with his “callous and harsh” remarks. Contact Fox News and John Gibson. Or give his radio show a call at 1-866-868-6861.

UPDATE: GLAAD has started a petition asking Fox News “why they continue to provide a platform for John Gibson’s cruel and tasteless comments.”

UPDATE II: Perez Hilton identifies a list of Fox News’ current advertisers. Here they are:

A number of these companies have gay friendly policies and need to be put on notice that their dealings with nasty bigots like Fox/Gibson are not going unnoticed. A sample complaint letter can be found here: http://skinthefox.com/letter_001.htm
