I have no doubt that Beck has more fans than detractors, I'll make sure to let Omaha Steaks know that, and I'll boycott them.

The tolerant left desperately trying to silence those who disagree with them.

Yeah ... in years past I ordered Omaha steaks for some of my client base. Nebraska is a great state with many fine people.
Then, I became better acquainted with Warren Buffet and his politics ... and my impression of anything related to Omaha, not so much Nebraska, began to change. Bottom line I haven't ordered anything in several years from Omaha Steaks ... they've long since stopped calling me and sending e-mails soliciting my business. Just want you Freepers out there in cyberspace to know Blu boycotted Omaha Steaks before it was cool.

We ordered some steaks from them and got them a week ago. Ate ‘em. The confirmation comes with 100% guarantee if you are unsatisfied for ANY reason, they will refund your purchase.

I just called and got a full refund.

Their steaks aren’t that great anyway.

Media Matters Hires Angelo Carusone, Leader Of 'Stop Beck' Movement, To Ramp Up Campaign Against Fox News

"..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..."

Brilliant plan, Omaha Steaks. Impress the vegans and piss off the meat eaters. Real smart.

I stopped shopping--in fact, my whole family and many of my friends stopped shopping--at the local Radio Shack for the same reason. The store closed about six months later. I'm not claiming that losing our business pushed the store over the edge, but it sure as hell didn't help keep it solvent.

I wonder if Sargento ever recovered from their support-Beck boycott? I used to buy their cheese at Walmart, but soon after the boycott started Walmart replaced almost all of the Sargent cheese with Kraft. I found I liked the Kraft cheese much better anyway, and never looked back. Apparently I wasn’t alone: Walmart never did put back the Sargento.

I fired off an email and got the canned response, too. I replied to their canned response predicting that I’ll likely get another canned response! They seem to be on autopilot.

P.R. FAILURE BY OMAHA STEAKS.

I laughed at Obama Steaks. Very clever.

I will print out my email and snail mail it to their PR Director.

I’m sure that all those veggie PETA types will keep Omaha well supplied with paying customers. Maybe Pat Boone will advertise on beck or Rush.
