As NewsBuster Matthew Vadum reported Wednesday, a race-baiting group named Color Of Change -- co-founded by President Obama's "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones -- has launched a campaign to get companies to stop advertising on Glenn Beck's television program.
Recent press releases from COC concerning Beck have listed as the contact "Brandon Hatler -- Sunshine, Sachs & Associates."
As Variety reported in May 2007, SSA is a powerful New York-based public relations firm with quite an impressive list of clients:
Current clients include Ben Affleck, Jon Bon Jovi, Kelly Clarkson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jimmy Fallon, the Farrelly brothers, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, John Mayer, Bette Midler, Michael Moore, Tyler Perry, Barbra Streisand and Michelle Wie.
On Monday, COC published the following press release concerning Beck listing Hatler as contact: Story Continues Below Ad ↓
"We applaud GEICO and all of the other companies who have stepped forward to pull their ads from Glenn Beck," said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org. "Beck's rhetoric is dangerous to the fabric of our democracy, and we are heartened that so many big companies feel the same way. We won't stop here -- we're going to continue our fight to see that as many of Beck's advertisers pull their support as possible."
Two weeks ago, ColorOfChange.org called on its 600,000-plus members to sign a petition urging companies who advertise on Glenn Beck to cut off their advertising support of his work. More than 75,000 members responded to the call by signing a petition directed at advertisers.
As RBO uncovered last week, SSA also represents Van Jones's Green for All, "a national organization working to build an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty."
When you add it all up, a current member of the Obama administration is co-founder of a group trying to get a conservative talker off the air, and is being assisted by a powerful New York PR firm.
And America's so-called journalists couldn't care less.
Color of change is another one of George $oreA$$’s hate America funded groups which work 24/7 to destroy what is right about America. They and Moveon are vile creations of the the $oreA$$ serial killers of America.

That’s a real good letter you wrote.

LOLOL!!!
That's fine. They'll get a much-needed lesson in capitalism: what happens to companies that insult those who comprise their market and who believe customer service is optional.
Wish I did so I could cancel them. But I’m going to stop taking photos of geckos in protest. Well...maybe.
Thanks for posting that.
I think you handled that perfectly.
Well done! :)
If I had em I would do such in a second...
That was what I was trying to suggest in my post.
Yeah, I always thought that was strange using the lizard
for an icon.
Not sure about Progressive ...

Mr. Gecko sez:
Thank you!!
PINGING THE COMRADES AND THE INFIDELS!
I went to a website (can’t remember which one, but a liberal site) that was calling for a protest and listed the advertisers to boycott. I used that list to personally send an email to each one of them and thank them for sponsoring Glenn Becks show, and because of it, I would take care to use their products as they were sponsoring a show that I liked and I appreciated that. I also reminded them of the ratings that Glenn has verses the other liberal channels calling for the boycott and if the 7 people who still watched those channels actually did boycott and their sales went down, to let me know and I would step up my purchases and urge others to do the same. I got nothing but good responses back from several of them. I urge you all to do the same.....
Yes, I saw UPS on his show, but it was BOR UPS was alleged to have dropped as an advertiser.
The RARE Albino Gecko!! :)
bump
I'm not a huge fan of Beck's but this may get me to like him more.
If you really ARE trying to save people money....support those that are opposed to a Healthcare bill that would bankrupt this country with monumental debt!!!!
Don't you see, by pulling out your advertising....you ARE making a statement. You made a change - that shows a side being taken.

Nothing to do with GE. It started out as GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES’ Insurance COmpany. And their MAIN thrust to this day is military folks and (un)Civil Service.
