Muslim Groups Opposed to ABC's Hiring of Radio Talk Show Host
(CNSNews.com) - Three Arab and Muslim American advocacy groups are voicing their opposition to ABC's "Good Morning America" hiring talk-show host Glenn Beck, claiming he has "an obvious anti-Arab and anti-Muslim prejudice in his broadcasts." The Arab American Institute, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council claim Beck made "threats and blatantly inaccurate statements" on his show. The groups sent a letter to ABC/Disney asking for a meeting to detail their concerns. They have also launched a membership action campaign urging supporters to contact ABC News over Beck's hiring. "[Glenn Beck's] addition to 'Good Morning America' would disseminate his prejudiced, openly-hostile and ignorant commentary to an even broader national audience, and diminish the credibility of your reputable and highly-rated news show," said the groups said in the letter to ABC. "To provide a platform for his hateful speech is dangerous and irresponsible, and we strongly and urgently implore you to reconsider this move," they wrote.
Thank you. Do you have to be a member to get that?
?
See spot run.
ABC seems to be the first one catching on a little.
Ahhhhh! Skullhead gets lower rating than Franken!

Maybe CAIR and the other bags of scum should be informed that Glen Beck was hired only because Danny Pearl couldn't be reached.
Funny. I can tell you are a Savidge listener.
Hey, how 'bout posting tht ratings graphic on that other thread I think you hang out on?
That article doesn't surprise me. Watch John Hagee tomorrow morning on TCT network at 7AM Eastern or 4PM and learn more.
Savage listener for 5= years.
Laura, Levin, a few others, and catch Beck on the tube.
Glenn is #3 among adults ages 25-54.
I've met Glenn a couple of times. He is as real in person as he is on the radio and on TV. With Glenn, what you see is what you get. He is a really nice guy.
Actually I find him quite funny too, but then I am a sick, twisted freak!
Most of those who vote and buy stuff in other words.
They can all claim something-or-other from the ratings.
As long as the good guys do better than the bad guys I'm happy.
Glenn is on at different times different places, I think he live at 9am on the east coast which is a little early, but in our market he is on at noon against Rush, while Savage is at 6pm all by himself (except the few places where Levin is on -- Levin apparently beat Savage in New York in the last ratings period, but Levin isn't on that many stations yet).
I listen to Glenn sometimes when Rush is boring or there is a guest I don't like. If he was on against Sean I'd listen to Glenn all the time.
He seems nice.
That's why I was surprised when he mentioned his past drug abuse on his tv show.
'With Glenn, what you see is what you get...'
agree. I, too, met him a few times. I attended his Defend the Constitution rallies in Tampa during the 2000 recount fiasco. Also, attended his Support America rallies in Clearwater and West Virginia. Glenn is a good guy and he's very patriotic. I cringe thinking that he's on CNN and ABC...but, MAYBE, he can convert a few libs.
He is a recovering alcoholic, drug user, radio clown, talk show host....
Also a Mormon.
I like him because he tells it like it is. His family life is what is keeping him sober. Plus, I imagine his jobs. I can't imagine having his schedule.
