No probs. I always like to ‘dig’. LOL!

I see WalMart is on that list.

Libs aren't going to boycott Wal*Mart. No way.

Is this Democrats.com linked to Zer0? I don’t have time for the research, but I hope someone exposes the true nature of these guys.

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.

Obama's hasn't been in office that long - and we can feel our freedoms slipping away. Will we recognize our country in three y ears?

[Sprite518]

Yeah but no proof that Obama is behind it, but I would not doubt it. Nevertheless, you need proof.

[Sprite518]

I wonder that too. I am going to pay a little more attention to the commercials. To be honest when a commercial comes on. I usually turn the channel, turn down the volume or mute it. So I never really pay any attention to the commercials.

[Sprite518]

Don’t know?

[jimfree]

Is this for real? Has the administration applied pressure?

It looks like Obamabots at Kos are some of the proponents of the boycott (I followed links from your post) and the boycott is based on their objection to Glenn Beck - no mention of Obama behind this. I’ll include the link to the dailyKos site where some idiots are bragging about their boycott:
http://wikoogle.dailykos.com/
Here’s their thread title “The Glenn Beck Boycott, It’s working... We also need volunteers to compile next week’s sponsor list.”

Somehow, it should have been obvious that the polarization of American politics would eventually come to economic warfare within the larger Infowar.

Economic warfare can work both ways. Whose got the best website for companies supporting the death of the 1st Amendment?

FR rules do not allow posting of the direct link to this. You can get it at democrats.com.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Thank you. :)

[TaxRelief]

I wish FR rules would allow me to post the direct link or email.

[TaxRelief]

Yup. That’s it.

[TaxRelief]

For real.

Their little “boycott” has barely begun. You don’t think they are responding to economic pressure already, do you?

[tstarr]

Geez, these guys are idiots. For every advertiser who pulls out from Beck, I’m sure there are several who will step right in.

I have spent a little time clicking around the FoxNews website and haven’t seen any of these companies advertising there. I would be a bit surprised about Wal-Mart, though. I did see Ford, which is the only American auto company I could buy from now anyway. Hilton, Sprint, AT&T, General Mills were other big names that came up.

And, if the boycott does “work”, who is going to be hurt? The advertisers who have to advertise to fewer prospective customers who each spend less money. Good luck with that! :-)

Well, where I live Walmart is really the only store that has everything I need, but from now on I'll buy as much as possible from my little neighborhood store.

Disappointed in Kellogg's, I'll sure miss Corn Flakes. Off brands just can't touch ‘em.
