Boycott FOX News (Glenn Beck) Advertisers (Corporate Wall-of-Shame List!) My Letter

From the reports I have seen, Men’s Warehouse has either 1). Independently determined that there is an inflammatory nature to the comments posed on ‘The Glenn Beck Show’ that just happens to coincide in time with a threatened boycott by an organization called “Colors of Change”, or 2). That in order to avoid controversy, Men’s Warehouse will cave to any organization that threatens to Boycott?

I want to remind you that Men’s Warehouse didn't seem to have a problem with advertising until pressured by "Colors of Change", an organization started and run by a self-avowed communist, Van Jones. Are Men’s Warehouse’s actions those built upon the fundamentals and ideals of America? I think not.

Colors of Change is nothing more than a black nationalist communist organization that seeks to hide behind skin colors to mask their racism, their intolerance, and their anti-American, anti-Freedom agenda which is a threat to EVERY American, no matter what their colors might be.

Because Men’s Warehouse has decided to align themselves with a bunch of communists, then Men’s Warehouse must also be communist-leaning!

Consequently, I plan to BOYCOTT your clothing line, and I plan to tell my friends and neighbors NOT to shop at Men’s Warehouse, in favor of a more freedom loving, America-friendly business.

Boycot Sargento Cheese: My discussion with Sargento below.
Dear Sargento,
I am a big fan of your products, but since you are submitting to political pressure and boycotting the Glenn Beck show, I am boycotting you.
Regards

Dear Mr. — We appreciate you sharing your comments and concerns about Sargento ads appearing during “The Glenn Beck Show.” It’s true that after listening to some of his recent shows we decided to stop buying ads during that program, but Sargento still advertises on other
Fox News shows.

Sargento makes high quality cheese available to people who want these products, regardless of their political affiliations. As a business, we may not agree with many of the current administration’s policies.
However, we also do not want to be associated with hateful speech used by either liberal or conservative television hosts. We’ll share your comments with our marketing department.

Dear Pat,
You are reacting to political pressure, making a normative decision and a very loud, public statement based on political pressure. You may run your business however you wish. I shall spend my money however I wish. I posted your decision to pull advertising from Mr. Beck’s show on numerous conservation blog and discussion sites. Leftists have long loved boycotts, going back to the 1960s and Cesar Chavez’s boycott of grapes. Turnabout is fair play.

When a business so publically chooses sides in a political discussion, the business only stands to loss. Leave politics to the politicians and focus on your core competancy: making cheese. You are good at it, but there are plenty of folks out there making cheese. I am going to miss your ricotta and hard parmesan. Best value in the market.

regards

This is what happens when you upset people on all sides.

50% of the time Glenn Beck sounds rational & reasonable. But when he start trashing President Bush along with O, he loses Bushies like me. NEVER compare W with O.

Having Napalitano & joining with him trashing W for Patriot Act. He says he even opposed Iraq war. Then have Ron Paul & trash Republicans.

'nough trashing your own side & losing support. You need Republicans if you really need defense. Trashing everyone won't work.

In response to your question about State Farm supporting amnesty. I became aware of this last summer. Here is a quote from LULAC’s Ohio web site that states State Farm is one of their sponsors along with Proctor and Gamble.

On Saturday, June 20, 2009, LULAC Ohio hold its Annual State Convention in Dayton, OH.

The local LULAC Council did an awesome job, organizing not only the Convention, but also a Job Fair, sponsored by Empleos & Employment, and a “Community Awards & Scholarship Luncheon”, sponsored by State Farm, during which Ezra Escudero (Director of Ohio Latino Affairs) and Juan Manuel Solana (Consul of Mexico) made opening remarks.
I am sure that if you googled State Farm and LULAC, or amnesty, you will find more. One of the Freepers recommended Grange Insurance. I am going to check them out.
