Already, 20 companies have agreed to pull advertisements from Glenn Beck's television show, within weeks of the Fox host calling Obama "a racist" and saying the president "has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."
Now, Farmers Insurance can be added to that list, a Farmers spokesperson confirms to POLITICO.

Looks like I am changing insurance companies.

I hope Beck finds another insurance company sponsor, so we can switch over as a group.

More BS about this topic farmers is new though. To find out more go to defendglenn.com I'm fixing to send them this story. Believe me there's no where near 20 companies pulling ads from Glenn..

How can we confirm that there is WHITE HOUSE ARM TWISTING behind this? I strongly believe this is happening!

I have Progressive. I was just about to change my motorcycle to Farmers. I have the phone number to the agent and I was going to call after work. Now I’m shopping again. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well, isn't Obama a racist and doesn't he seem to hate white people? Didn't the Gates affair prove that beyond a doubt? Ask Rev Wright for more details.
Has anybody ever seen the need for racist panels in a healthcare system? Read the House Bill 3200 and ask yourself, what's that for?
Don't you have to be wrong before you are called on it, or have the liberals gone round the bend with their 45% racist.
The state run media calls people racist at will, all the time. So are they going to boycott them? Like MSNBC and their ginned up racism on the guy carrying the AR at an Obama rally?
Seeing with a selective eye isn't seeing, it's propaganda.

Farmers has the right to do that, and we have the right to buy our insurance elsewhere.
To: bmwcyle
Now they can just sell insurance to all of Obama’s inner city supporters......

Don’t know where you live but here in Wisconsin there are some good competitive regional companies. Talk to your Independent insurance agent.
To: bmwcyle
I think Auto-Owners insurance writes in your state.They are pretty good in my state of MI. You can access them through an independent Agent.
