I have just canceled my order of around $300 with them I had put in for family for the Holidays.
Just contacted three folks I know who buy from them. One of which just replied to me and said they will NEVER order from them again. They were LONG TIME customers.
LOVE this FB entry on the Omaha Steak site:
“Dale Warren I have a website that gets 400,000+ hits per month and a twitter account with 87,000 connections. I will never buy anything from you again and I will tell all my friends to boycot you for your decision to pull advertising from the Glenn Beck program.”
I probably would never have purchased anything from Omaha Steaks, but now it’s a certainty.
I sent them an email telling them that because of their decision I will no longer be buying their products and neither will my daughter and her husband, his parents and my brother and sister-in-law. I told them that perhaps the Stop Beck people would buy the steaks we didn’t. That was followed by an OOPS a lot of them are vegetarians.
I normally buy steaks for my brother at this time each year and my brother sends my daughter and her husband and my wife and I packages of steaks. My daughter’s in-laws also used to buy steaks. I don’t think my daughter & her husband did, but they won’t support someone who supports the Stop Beck movement. Now 3 orders a year isn’t much but it’s probably more than the Stop Beck group buys in total.

I don’t watch Glenn Beck but I do order from Omaha Steaks. I doubt that’s going to change. I don’t much care for boycotts by either side. All businesses want to do is move their product. Liberals suck with their anti-capitalist threats. I’m not going to let them force me to alter my choices.
AboutStopBeck.com is a nonpartisan effort focused on holding Glenn Beck accountable for preying on racial anxieties, employing vitriolic rhetoric, propagating sexism and disseminating willful distortions. Our purpose is to urge sponsors to stop supporting Glenn Beck’s brand of hate with advertising dollars.
To be clear: This effort is not about Glenn Beck’s political opinions. Rather, this effort is in direct response to Mr. Beck’s continued recklessness. Neither Fox News nor Glenn Beck will take responsibility for the willful lies, propagation of sexism or preying in racial anxieties. Accordingly, we are compelled to bring accountability back to broadcasting. We would prefer that Mr. Beck, regardless of his opinions, act responsibly.
StopBeck began on July 2, 2009. It was and remains primarily a Twitter effort.

Nonpartisan Tweeters for social justice! LMAO!!!!
"Nonpartisan" my *ss! If the claims were obvious no disclaimer would be necessary. I wonder how much Soros drops these looney tunes? I also wonder who authored this nondescript vague politically correct leftist drivel "about" statement? You can't make this stuff up... These misguided morons are no doubt some of the useful idiots that elected the empty suit community organizer otherwise known as the epic failure with a well developed teleprompter skillset...
Almost bought their gift packs this year, but decided they were over-priced. They are now permanently off my shopping list.
They figured out all of Beck’s viewers like their steak freeze dried and packaged in backpacks for quick relocation.

We felt that advertising on the Glenn Beck Program could be mis-interpreted as an endorsement of Mr. Beck’s political views. Since Omaha Steaks has no affiliation with Mr. Beck, nor do we ever endorse any political affiliations, views or beliefs, we felt it was in our best interest to discontinue these ads.

—— My response:
Dear Julie,
OK, so Omaha Steaks does not believe in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, particularly the part where our Rights are given to us by our Creator? Omaha Steaks does not believe that communities, such as Wilmington, Ohio, should work and pray together when adversity strikes? Instead, they should wait until the Rulers in Washington, DC notice them as send them welfare checks?
We will pray for you!
Merry Christmas! Happy Vegetarian New Year!
Time to cancel my annual gifts of Omaha Steaks!!
Obama Steaks, no thanks.
What did Glenn do to warrant such an action? I know he gets a bit animated at times but he always seems to back up his assertions/commentary with research/facts. Omaha Steaks may experience a backlash from such childish behavior. If they’d rather not sell their steaks to Glenn Beck/FoxNews viewers they’re doing a good job of it.
Following the Soros money always exposes the leftist lemmings... I hold my breath wondering if the ambiguously metro-homo-asexual Anderson Cooper will be "keepin 'em honest" on this one any time soon?
-small excerpt:
WASHINGTON -- The battle between progressives and Fox News just got hotter. Liberal watchdog Media Matters has hired one of Glenn Beck's key nemeses, a man who has been working behind the scenes (and more publicly on Twitter) for the past year to convince advertisers to drop the right-wing icon.

This guy need a hard trollin’ who just posted on the OS
FB page:
“David Bouchard: Dear Omaha Steaks, thanks for pulling your ads from the Glenn Beck program. This effort was not unnoticed by your customers and fans of the StopBeck effort. We all would like to offer our heartfelt thanks for your actions. Much appreciated.”

Great kneejerk reaction there, Omaha...did it ever occur to you to actually VERIFY the bullshit being spewed by the Stop Beck bunch? Stop Beck from what? Telling the truth? He convicts people with THEIR OWN WORDS. So where are the lies?
Screwed that pooch, Omaha...
Apparently not...
Who eats a previously frozen steak, wrapped in a vacuum seal?
That’s gotta be like dumpster diving, in the steak family.
