Ok, folks, this has got to stop...
New Website online: DefendGlenn.com
Send this to all your friends. Contains all the advertisers for Glenn's FoxNews channel show (adding them all the time), so you can contact them and counter the left-wing nuts who are spending all day (what else do they have to do in their Mom's basement?) threatening to boycott their products (as if they can even afford most of them on their welfare checks).
DailyKos, the racist Socialist "Color of Change" and apparently SEIU and ACORN low-lifes are contacting these advertisers.
Lowdown: Here are the advertisers who have given notice that they will no longer advertise on Beck's show:
Progressive Auto Insurance
GEICO
State Farm
Sargento Cheese
Men's Wearhouse
S.C. Johnson
Procter & Gamble
Lawyers.com
LET'S SHOW THESE FOLKS WHO THE REAL MAJORITY IS. Glenn's ratings are more than all of his competitors combined (+400,000). Check out DefendGlenn.com right now and let's reverse this bullcrap (and leave a message for Glenn on their "wall" when you're done).

Men's WearhouseI wouldn't buy a suit from there if I had a gun pointed at me.
The owner of that place who does the ads gives me the heebie-jeebies.
He looks like a slimy used car salesman who wears two Pinky Rings and a fake Rolex. And his 'cousin' Herb does all the financing.

What confirmation do we have that these have pulled out? (Esp. State Farm.)
I had a similar experience. I wouldn’t cancel GIECO because of this boycott but I WOULD cancel them because are a shady company. I had to fight my own insurance for the coverage I was paying for. Filing a claim with with is like pulling teeth.
I’ve had USAA - homeowners, car, etc., for years now. When other insurance companies call and say they can “save me ___ %”, I really enjoy telling them USAA is my insurance company.
Usually, all we hear is “Thanks.”

Sargento responded as such:
“We appreciate your sharing your concerns about our
advertising. Our organization remains true to its mid-western roots and
values. Some would say that means we’re conservative. In the end, we
hold true to our nation’s heritage that values free expression of
varying political opinions. We advertise on Fox News, however, we felt
Glenn Beck went too far when he suggested poisoning someone with whom he
disagrees. Rhetoric that reflects action that would result in the death
of someone is never acceptable to us. Therefore, we have advised our
advertising agency that they should reallocate our Fox News buy among
other Fox News programs.
Our wish overall is to move beyond the conversation about politics and
focus on our primary mission to bring consumers great cheese products.
We don’t want to be associated with inflammatory speech used by either
liberal or conservative talk show hosts. Again, thank you for taking
the time to share your views with us.”
