FWIW, F.R. broke the news of this Saturday. Nice to see fans fighting back. If Tweets from the DefendGlenn folks are accurate, Obama's goons will cost these companies a lot of customers.

The days of conservatives bending over and letting the Left run roughshod are over. These Tea Parties and Town Halls are our Flight 93 moment.

Legal question: Since Van Jones’ outfit started this boycott, is it illegal, or a violation of any ethics laws for a government official to petition and/or coerce private companies to drop advertising sponsorships?

Looks like the site has been hacked. When I click on support wall it forwards to a liberal site. If this is a mom/pop operation they may well need some help.

"Our goal is to hit advertisers hard with response from Beck fans with real purchasing power, unlike the instigators of this phony Astroturf boycott," the founder of DefendGlenn told WND. "At some point they will realize they've been punked by a bunch of paid activists, college students and slacker bloggers in their parents' basements who don't purchase their products anyway," said the founder, who asked that his name be withheld.

Find out the sponsors and hand write letters .
It is way more effective.

Businesses, especially businesses that advertise nationally, would do well to adopt a blanket policy that says; “Just because we advertise our product on a particular network or television show does not mean that we endorse the product, service, or opinions expressed on that show.”

And then tell the would-be protesters to go pound sand.

The bad press and angry letters that these companies are now getting represent a self-inflicted wound and they have no one but themselves to blame.

I always was offended by Lewis’s Progressive ads during Beck anyway. GEICO, not so much ‘cuz I loved the Gecko. Not so much anymore, I guess.

Just sent messages to all the ones I use (and may drop soon). I’ve been a life-long customer to a couple of them and so has my Family. Fools...

More emails will be on the way to others.

These companies must have morons running their marketing departments.

If Glenn is drawing so much attention across the country on his television show, their product commercials are getting great exposure.

They will lose by the very nature of being political.

Start with all products SC Johnston, Progressive Insurance, GEICO Insurance and Sargento Cheese. To alienate yourself to a 47% base is stupid. Make em’ pay.

If you search engine (Bing or Google) advertisers dropping Glenn Beck, you'll note democrats are having a field day in their attempt to get Beck unemployed. Here's the news for them - these advertisers who've quit Beck sponsorship have just bit off a bit more than they counted on. it's time to fight back with our hard earned dollars spent elsewhere and a reckoning these companies deserve for being stooges, bowing to the feet of radical liberals.

Another war of Jenkins' Ear

I did a search engine check of "political contributions" for each company and found (AMAZINGLY) most had democrat donations. What a surprise (sarc).

It’s unbelievable that it’s come to this... A conservative show is boycotted for it’s content.

Geez... how about Air America in general - full of hate and anti-American rhetoric. I guess that is not enough to generate hatred...from the left. If this even generates a flake of opposition from them - then they are far too left to worry about...so ignore the flamethrowers and do your thing...

I printed out the Proctor & Gamble list that Morgana freeper posted on Friday and am determined to NOT BUY anything on that list ever... there are other choices.

I also e-mailed that Italian frozen food place, Sargento and Geiko. How dare they think that Americans will not care if they commit treason by caving to the libs?
