Losing an advertiser did not seem to hurt David Letterman and I do not see how losing an advertiser will hurt Glenn Beck.
They just made my banned products list.
I would like Beck to publicly provide a list of companies that have removed their advertising for this or similar reasons.

Doesn't that count as hate speech?
Anybody have the email addresses of the companies involved? I don't patronize the ones I know about, but there might be others...

Well I don’t need to buy their mozzarella cheese any more either. So there!

No more Sargento in my house.
I used to buy it all the time but will buy it no more!
Beck is the only thing I watch on tv regularly; his show yesterday with Pat Caddell about the Emanuel Bros, was great, but Beck needed Caddell on for a full hour, not just 3 minutes!
