I know this is a lefty tactic, but seems like there needs to be a counter boycott for being so weak-kneed when it comes to this stuff...

I don’t care what sponsors are doing, I will continue to watch Beck; NOT because I agree with HIM, but because HE agrees with how I ALREADY saw the world.

Actually, boycotting businesses is one of the most democratic things we can do (small d democratic not big D). I say, go for it. And let them know exactly why.

Glenn’s audience is up something like 125% over last year this time. If those sponsors drop out the only ones they’re hurting is themselves. Let’s see, the viewship of Glenn’s show versus the liberal complainers who watch CNN or MSNBC. Glenn’s show draws more watchers during that hour than all the other news stations combined. I don’t think Fox or Glenn have anything to worry about.

“Sargento, GEICO, Lawyers.com, Progressive Insurance, Procter & Gamble, and SC Johnson”
Anybody know for certain if there's any car insurance companies that aren't leftist scumbags?

Years ago my father told me that life is lived on two-way streets. Boycott back and let them know it.

Isn’t Progressive Ins. a Soros owned company? My husband read that the other day.

I just went to the Sargento website, sargento.com, and informed them that their products will no longer be in my grocery rotation.
We can play that game too!

Sargento, Never eat that brand

GEICO, Commercials getting old and stale

Lawyers.com, Would never use them anyway

Progressive Insurance, Can’t get much more annoying than that one!!!

Procter & Gamble, Can do without

and SC Johnson – Can do without their environmental messages

So...what’s the big loss? We will ALWAYS watch Glenn.

Obama’s cohorts are like Nazi thugs. Time to support Glen Beck. We’ve got to defend each other against the people who would silence us and take away our rights.

All this because Beck opened his mouth one time. The Left does not respect your right to freedom of speech, does not like your freedom in general, and does not like democracy. That’s evidenced by this idiocy.

If I may be permitted; here is the text of an email I just now sent to Sargento Foods, and with changes of brand names, will be sending to all the other companies mentioned.

“Just got the word that Sargento has pulled their adv. on Glenn Beck’s FNC afternoon TV program.

1. From a Patriotic standpoint, I’m amazed that a company that has prospered for so many years through the blessings of operating with LIBERTY in the United States, would not support Mr. Beck, one of the FEW individuals who is attempting to slow the betrayal of our Country by people in high places. Inexcusable!

From a Business standpoint; The stupidity of such a move gives me brain cramps! Glenn Beck’s show, in that time slot, has greater viewership than all the other cable news programs COMBINED! I can only conclude from this brilliant business decision that Top Management at Sargento Foods is more concerned with promoting socialism and big government takeover of every aspect of our lives than you are in selling cheese and other foods. Therefore, in an effort to make your dreams come true, NO Sargento products will ever enter our home again. And I will make every effort to enlighten and influence family and circle of friends and acquaintances, as well.

Drop your advertising from Glenn Beck’s program? That’s stupidity gone-to-seed!”

The owner of Progressive Insurance is as far left as you can get. He donates huge sums of money to the dems.

He must really be hitting a nerve with the “hope & change” crowd.

The same thing happened to David Letterman and he is still on the air.

Perhaps Sargento should realize they are in a VERY COMPETITIVE market, and losing any customers would be VERY BAD for business.

I have purchased their cheese products before — now I'll remember to avoid them.

I don't think it will make a smidgen of difference in the taste by buying from another company.

HOW DUMB!!!!!!

I already wrote to progressive and told that that, although I wouldn’t dream of doing business with them, my daughter had a policy and that I would pay the difference to get her insured elsewhere.

I’m still working an an angle for P&G...

Boycotts can be an extremely effective tool, one that conservatives and libertarians have ignored to their great disadvantage. Corporate America is largely socialist because of our tax codes and because government socialism fosters anti-competitive arrangements that benefit large corporations and punish small businesses and entrepreneurs. The GOP is in the tank for corporate interests, so they are no help whatsoever. Get organized and boycott socialist businesses, sanctuary cities, pro-abortion states, mainstream media propaganda outlets, Government Motors, union-thug companies, and so on.

Let’s keep a list of companies conservative should NOT buy from... Then again our “not buying” hasn’t worked with newspapers, magazines, or movies... /s

We organize boycotts when necessary, SO WHAT if the left does the same thing.

As for the sponsors, who in their right mind would remove advertising from one of the top rated NETWORKS in the country?

Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face.
