Mercedes-Benz, Capital One, HSBC, Discover and seven other big firms are yanking their ads from Beck's show, boycott organizers said Wednesday.
"We applaud those companies that have recently pulled their support from Beck," James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org, said Wednesday.
"There are at least 57 companies who will not tolerate Beck's race-baiting comments."
The African-American political group went after Beck for declaring on his July 28 show that Obama is a racist with a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."
About 145,000 members signed a petition asking Beck's advertisers to stop supporting him. And big companies like retailing giant Wal-Mart, Procter & Gamble, GMAC Financial Services, Best Buy, CVS and Travelocity complied.

For the advertisers who jump, think again the ground swell is great and you will find yourself in the rear of the line WE WILL REMEMBER YOU! BOYCOTTS HURT!
If Beck is gone Capitalism is gone as well.
“She has never fired a gun in her life.”

You need to take that girl out to the range! She sounds like the young person who will understand the true meaning of gun control. ;)
I see so now that MORE people are watching him your assertion is that less people are following him...
Sorta like the global warming movement where colder temperatures mean Global Warming is getting worse...
For a while there O’Reilly was coming down hard on Acorn, whatever happened with that expose?
That was my point, the more Van Jones tries to shut down Beck, the deeper Beck digs into Van Jones’ recent past. It’s a no win situation for Van Jones.
Hasn’t Acorn been attending the town hall meetings, along with the bus loads of union people?
The last report I saw was they had traced the money being funneled thru to some run-down shack in New Orleans and then I kinda lost track.
Out of curiosity why not?
What are you talking about? Or better yet, what did he say that wasn’t true?
I find it absolutely absurd that a group (Color Of Change) that was created on the premise that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” is upset that someone called the current President a racist. Pot meet kettle. Why doesn’t the media ever challenge people over obvious hypocrisy.
Their website still sells “Kanye was Right” Tshirts and it was all over their website from 2005 and appears to be the premise behind their entire organization at the time. “Kanye was Right::Colorofchange.org, Bush doesn’t care. But we do” http://web.archive.org/web/20051102031642/http://colorofchange.org/
Did Beck steal your girlfriend in grammar school?
She doesnt really have any interest in them. Other than to keep visitors away while Beck is on, I suppose.
btt
back at ya...
Companies boycothttp://producten.hema.nl/ting beck:
phooey! Just google, “companies boycotting Beck”
The issue is WHO is watching. If it’s only people who already agree with his political positiions, then it doesn’t matter how many of them are watching — it still does nothing to advance the cause. Better to have 100 fence-sitters watching than a million already-converted.
And thus logic dictates that if his audience is growing (which it is) your concerns are refuted.
Case Closed.
