Then, these advertisers are idiots; the smart businessman buys advertising for exposure...not political ideologue.

And one further note...IMHO commiebama is not only a racist, but a devout racist. His actions, history, and rhetoric can only lead to one conclusion...he hates white people. Reverend Wright told him he should, for 20 years, and he is following his good buddy jerimiah's orders.

They are all incensed that Beck is onto their agenda, and has called out such fraudulent nazi groups as ACORN, etc. An old southern adage for "hypocrite" is "bit dog hollers"...and boy is the left hollering about Beck...he must have bitten them, but good. Funny as hell.

Meanwhile, we should write all of the "boycotting" sponsors and tell them that they all have competitors who aren't against the freedom of speech, and we shall take our business to them.

" Beck will gone the end of the year. They are really out to get him. He is the only one willing to after the full truth. In to todays media you just can’t do that. The left is relentless. They will get Glenn Beck one way or another and he will be shut down. "

If anything " FISHY " happens to Glen Beck, America will KNOW who was responsible.
If anything were to happen to Glen Beck people will be very suspicious and put the blame on Obama and his henchmen in his administration, they will be complicit if any harm or " Fishy " things happen to Glen Beck.

Neither have I, but I set my DVR to see what its all about.

He sounds like he has the balls to tell the truth about the marxist muzzie in chief and all this boycott is doing is increase interest in his show and identify what companies to avoid doing business with if possible.

Beck will presumably report that the NY Daily News daily publishes a barn gutter full of “Bountiful Stuff” (BS). The first several “advertisers” who “withdrew” from Beck said (1) that they had never advertised through Beck, or (2) that they had ceased advertising with all cable channels, switching to bigger audiences on the broadcast networks. (The latter has hurt Dem/Dim channels many times as much as it has hurt Fox.)

I shop at CVS, and I’m annoyed to hear they dropped Glenn.

We need the list of 57 who don’t believe in freedom of speech unless you are Whoopi Goldberg or Bill Mahrer and are calling George Bush every vile thing they can think of.
I want to do my own boycott of these companies.

I watch Beck everyday and I can honestly say I never knew any of these companies even ran ads on his show. Alot of what this racist bunch is claiming is apparently not true - a lot of those they claim are boycotting said they’ve never even advertised on the show....

That's right!....We the people have Glenn Beck's back!

I attended a Healthcare Town Forum this week.............2800 folks turned out for this..!!!

..and from the roar of the crowd when points were made that Beck had clearly revealed on his radio and TV shows...

..the crowd was all Beck!!!

It's too bad the local congressman didn't have one ounce of chutzpah Beck has....

..he could have mopped up the votes.

He got a standing ovation when the 2 hour forum began....

..but he barely gave the people time to get questions answered....and even then, he read the questions and they didn't get to speak.

It was like a balloon deflating when all those folks left. ....felt like a lot of folks were disappointed, including myself.

I doubt it! This has become a movement. We will know a few days after 912 whether the movement has reached critical mass. Then the politicians and the media better pay attention.

Beck has been going overboard lately. I basically agree with most of his positions, but he’s taken to expressing them in the a way that smacks of paranoia and dogmatism. He comes across as desperate, fearful, and lacking objectivity, and that doesn’t help promote his message. Sure, many of the already-converted cheer him on, but they’re not the ones who need to be reached with the content of the message. He also doesn’t sound particularly sincere, but more like he’s acting — exaggerating his emotional tone to get attention and ratings. He’s sounding a bit like a televangelist, trying to build up fear in viewers that millions of souls will burn in hell for eternity unless you “send money to this important ministry today”.

I caught a few minutes of Beck last weekend, and it was like listening to Susan Estrich. You don’t really care what she’s saying, because the tone is so bizarre and unpleasant that you instinctively want to disagree with her, without even considering the specific content.

Yup. Said it before, but I wonder why, if all these advertisers are bailing on Beck, there seems to be no shortage of commercials.

Van Jones is one of the founders of “Color of Change”. Jones thinks that he can shut down Beck through his political organizing, but all he has done is stir up a hornet’s nest.

The more Jones tries to shut up Beck, the more Beck digs into Jones’ background. Jones is pretty much finished, even if Obama keeps him on the payroll, he will accomplish nothing. I predict that Obama will keep Jones through the end of the year and then try to dump him quietly.
