I just wanted to let you all know some of the companies that have cancelled their sponsorship of Glenn Beck's show because of a left wing attack and threat of boycott.
"Among the advertisers to pull spots from the popular cable talk show are Geico, owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway; Procter & Gamble; Sargento Cheese; and Progressive Insurance , according to the companies and Color of Change, one group that is organizing a campaign against the program."
I got these names from Market Watch.
I am not suggesting what you should do, but I will be contacting these companies and adjusting my buying habits accordingly.
Have any of the mentioned companies every advertised on his program?

I went to the site and typed in “boycott of glenn beck”- the very same thing YOU could have done yourself. Now, if you want me to do anymore research for you, you will have to pay me. OK?
So far, I have reached WalMart and CVS. Best Buy hung up on me, so Im taking a stab at what their answer might have been.
CVS admits that they dropped him for political purposes and Walmart says it isn’t just Beck and that they have dropped sponsorship for ALL political shows, on every network. I guess that let’s them off the hook
Geico is a smelly company anyway- and I hate the lizard.
Acutally, I typed in Glenn Beck and boycott (two different searches) and got nothing.
Call me naive or whatever, buy I always figured that on this web site it was common courtesy to supply a URL when one is citing a source. I did not realize I had to pay for this service.
I love cheese and eat different types of it often, but it won’t be hard to boycott Sargento.
I’ll have to check and see if any of the household products I usually buy are made by P&G.
Isn’t Color of Change that Van Jones organization? No surprise here.
No surprise with that disgusting company, Progressive. Its owner donates over $10 million dollars of the profit each year to Planned Parenthood. I would never have anything to do with this company for any reason.
So, Glenn Beck doesn’t need a company that supports infant murder, does he?
Geico -— ads are so old hat and silly
Procter & Gamble -— Old hat as well
Sargento Cheese -— Nothing like Kraft Cheese
Progressive Insurance -— Oh yeah...their ad is REELLLLEEEE FUNNY. NOT!
I wouldn’t write them anyway. We don’t use their products. If I deviate from Kraft...then we just go and get some really good cheeses at specialty shops.
we all ought to ban his show.. He is a fake, Phony and a fraud. I turned on the dope at 5:20 and who is he talking too? The race hustler, Sharpy sharpton. the guy with his cohort Jesse Jerkson and all their other race hustlers, who have decimated this country over the years with their bull$hit racism stories; you all remember Tawana Brawely? How many lives did sharpton ruin because of his BS accusations?
oh get a grip- willya
Do your homework — I am sure you have heard the adage that anything worth doing is worth doing right. Right?
Progressive, of course. Its owned by one of the MoveOn.org founders.
