From the article

Barbara Gannon, vice president of Corporate Communications & Government Relations for Sargento Foods Inc., told the Business & Media Institute why her company decided to stop advertising during the Fox News Channel program

Thanks for the link. Here's what I sent:

I understand Sargento Foods has cancelled advertising on the Glenn Beck Show, Fox News Channel, because of what some advocacy group claims to be "Hateful Speech". Your decision is an affront to all loyal customers who watch that show. I'm not a racist, not a hate monger, not a right-wing wacko. I'm a 66 year old retiree who wants our government to be returned to the people; not the socialists in the Democrat Party.

Since you are so moved by a fringe group that you would pull advertising, I see no reason why I shouldn't "pull" all future sales and place them with a company concerned about American freedom, not their own deceitful image.

I can assure you I have a large base of friends, relatives and acquaintances, and I will encourage everyone to follow my lead. Knowing their political proclivities as I do, I suspect there will be many who follow suit.

Your loss, my gain.

Disrespectfully,

bcsco

Your recent corporate decision to cease advertising on Glen Beck on Fox News means you are an intolerant in fact hate company. We understand the hate, you are from the leftist state of Wisconsin.

We cannot tolerate dong business whit haters.

We are no longer purchasing your product.

My email to her and every word is true:

Unlike Geico, Progressive, Radio Shack and a few other companies Van Johnson, Obama's Green CZAR and Luis Farrakhan run Color of Change group has managed to have pull ads from Glenn Beck's program, I actually use(d) a LOT of Sargento Cheese products.... no more... just as I go out of my way to not buy Tyson Chicken I will go out of my way to never purchase another Sargento product.

Thanks for Barb's e-mai at Sargento. This is the e-mail I sent her. I am so happy your corporation has decided to choose sides in the culture war raging in our beloved country. I do believe this will lead to great things. Unfortunately, am on the other side so we will not be buying anymore of your company's products. I still think it is a great thing because I am looking forward to a day when all companies tell us which side they are on and consumers can decide who they want to support. Of course selling your products only to ACORN, SEIU, and welfare families may decrease your profits and actually drive you out of business but it has certainly helped me to know whom to support with the resources I have left after taxes.
