I predict Glenn Beck will win this bout.

Isn’t deeps seated hatred for white people a virtue on the left? It seems to me they sure share the tent with some vile racist bigots that for some reason the respectable conservatives play lap dog and never bring up.

Oakland? Could be a two-fer for the tagging problem. Just float the rumor the one of Beck’s sponsors is Rust-Oleum.

I guess the author hasn’t bothered to check Glenn’s ratings of late.

Democrats.com also pushed the boycott.

Boycott the corporations that bowed to Socialists.

can only think of 3 organized groups based in Oakland...

- ACORN
- Black Panther Party
- A’s Fan Club

(with the latter small enough to meet in a booth at Denny’s every other Thursday)

“I’m not saying he doesn’t like white people, I’m saying he has a problem. ... This guy, I believe, is a racist,”- Glenn Beck

Isn’t being racist against white people not liking them?

46 sponsors have pulled from the show. Ratings mean nothing when there is no $$$ from sponsors.

Clorox is an Oakland-based company. They pulled their advertising from Beck.

these homosexuals who oppose america will need to get as much tv coverage as they can because america’s airwaves are being retaken from the socialists that are trying to take away the 2nd amemdent, and those as glen back will always stand for the freedom that islamobama wants to give the terrorists.

they will only use this to kill christians. we must support glen beck.

Narry a word when the left was accusing Ronald Reagan of being a racist. You see, only democrats can make that accusation. Obama is clearly a racist in every sense of the word and a socialist and a communist and........

Beck is absolutely correct. The POS in the WH is a racist

Of course not. All kinds of people have all kinds of interpersonal relationships that deviate from the standard of their public relationships. And vice versa.

Not necessarily. During slavery the slave owners didn’t necessarily hate Black people. But, the act of keeping slaves was/is seen as racism. By virtue of keeping a particular race or ethnic group from having equal access to services is considered being racist, but does not require an act of hatred. It could just be an economic or political consideration.

They stayed with the network however, and that's still a money shot.

Don't act like FOX News Network managers are stupid and blind like the pukes doing MSNBC.
