According to Democrats.com, Obama has pressured these companies into pulling their ads from FOXnews.

Let's boycott these wimps and let them see that losing the mainstream dollar hurts more than losing the radical left dollar:

Campbell Soup

Chrysler

General Motors

Kellogg

Kraft Foods

Lawyers.com

Nestle

Pfizer

Proctor & Gamble

Progressive Insurance

[a fool in paradise]

Is there some kind of ethics charge possible for the President of the United States NATIONALIZING the auto industry and then putting political pressure on Chrysler
and General Motors to strip their advertising from a news channel critical of his administration?

A chill wind blows.

whatever happened to free speech liberals? lol. I made a funny.

Can you imagine what would have happened if Bush had pressured MSNBC’s advertisers?. These lib idiots are living breathing double standards.

[John123]

Sorry man... I'm gonna call BS on this one... unless I see concrete proof. Good marketing is the lifeblood of any well-run company.

If in fact this story is TRUE... then that would fall under fascism... which is the government control over privately owned enterprises...

Wow! The only thing missing from Demonrats.com is the hammer and sickle!

Although I probably just overlooked it.

They do say the following companies pulled ads from Fox:

Campbell Soup
Chrysler
General Motors
Kellogg
Kraft Foods
Lawyers.com
Nestle
Pfizer
Proctor & Gamble
Progressive Insurance
Walmart

I just see a crappy Democrat website that I never heard of before running a petition. I don’t see anywhere where it says Obama is pressuring the sponsors, though I wouldn’t put it past him.

Of course we could do the same thing threatening advertisers on MSNBC, which actually is what these a-holes accuse Fox News of being.

I think a counter letter writing campaign is in order. Let these advertisers know that if they pull their ads from FOX, then we will BOYCOTT their products. We can’t just sit by and allow the left to walk all over our freedoms without fighting back.

Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. We should send our own letters / start our own petition that states that if they pull their advertising from Fox we will not buy their products.

The original post did not have a link. That is all I found.

No Chia Obama listed?

[curth]

This needs to be publicized and some of these companies need to be contacted and made to either confirm or deny that they ever ran ads on Fox and have stopped because of this petition. I personally don’t believe it,but would like to find out for sure.

[Sprite518]

We all know conservatives spend more money then the libs that have no money. I will more than happy to buy the store brand at Publix instead of Kraft or Kellogg.

[Dudoight]

I hate the Progressive ads with that red lipped harridan...hope they pull out!

[Palladin]

I don’t buy anything from any of these companies anyway.

[GOP_Lady]

I heard Glenn Beck say that Progressive has pulled out of his show.

[sand lake bar]

I don’t believe that “stopped” list, just because some two bit lefties wrote it on a web site.

Thank you. I wasn’t sure, so I didn’t want to say, but I suspected — CLOSE ASSOCIATE.

“Half screwball” is right.

He is a very unique person to say the least.
