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.

You are wrong, my advice, don’t listen to or watch Glenn. Now that should take care of your problem with Glenn.

These Racist LEFT WING Groups are making up names, petitions,etc., they are stuffing the ballot box so to speak. Like ACORN has been doing for years.

The articles all continue to mention James Rucker as Ex. Director of Color of Change, but they ignore that Van Jones was the co-founder of this very racist organization. Also even if they really have 600,000 members four times that amount watch the Beck program.

We wouldn't know about Van Jones if it weren't for people like Glenn Beck.
