....right down the toilet.......SWEET!


Glenn Beck, controversial News personality, is losing advertising dollars for his program airing on the Fox News Channel. Corporate sponsors have been distancing themselves from Beck, fearing backlash for being associated with Beck's crazed and dangerous rantings and ravings. Recently Beck called President Obama a racist, just one of many utterances which has outraged his critics and worried his supporters.

Beck is known for his on air hysterics, his crying and manic gesticulations have become infamous. What is unclear is whether Beck is seriously mentally ill, or merely pandering in some gross and obnoxious fashion to the lowest, most base segment of American society. Perhaps it is both.

Regardless, GEICO is the latest corporate sponsor refusing to be associated with Beck. GEICO joins Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, Men’s Wearhouse, State Farm, Sargento and SC Johnson in boycotting the Glenn Beck Show.

You have a link for this? We had this discussion on another board, and we all emailed these companies demanding that they not advertise with that asshole.


What happens here, is that they don't stop ads w/Fox, they just change the timeslot. I imagine they've signed iron clad contracts.

If you can get me a link, I'd love to post it elsewhere...thanks.

I kind of hope Beck sticks around for a while - he's quickly destroying any credibility wingers and ClusterFox News may have left. He and O'Reilly have literally turned into caricatures of themselves. Incredible to watch, though painful as well.

Thanks for the link....

The main difference now, is that we can always tune to Fox for its comedic value. For the previous 8 years, we had to watch them sell the lies, and deceit. It was maddening...now, it's funny to watch the swansong.

I found an interesting twist on this story:

President Obama’s Environmental Czar Started Group Targeting Glenn Beck

GARFIELD, NJ (MetroCatholic) - President Obama’s “green jobs czar” is co-founder of an African-American activist organization that has led a campaign prompting major advertisers to withdraw from Glenn Beck’s top-rated Fox News Channel program.

In recent weeks, Beck has done several critical segments about Van Jones, who was appointed as the special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

Beck’s segments were based in part on WND’s reporting that Jones was as an admitted radical communist and black nationalist leader.

Now Colors of Change, an activist organization seeking to “strengthen Black America’s political voice” has led a furious campaign against Beck culminating in major companies such as Geico and Lawyers.com pulling their spots from the Fox News star’s daily show. The group also says it has garnered about 75,000 signatories for an online petition against Beck to be sent to advertisers.

Colors of Change says the controversy stems from Beck’s recent comment that Obama is a “racist” with “a deep-seated hatred for white people.”

The organization did not return a WND request for comment about whether its crusade is tied to Beck’s recent reporting about Van Jones’ radical connections.

The media watchdog NewsBusters.org exposed Van Jones is a co-founder of Colors of Change. The group’s executive director is James Rucker, who previously served as director of Grassroots Mobilization for the radical MoveOn.org.

Immediately following NewsBusters report, Colors of Change scrubbed its site of any mention of Jones. However, a Google cache of the site lists Jones as a founder.

After News Busters pointed out the deletion, Colors of Change added Jones back to its site but now claims “Van hasn’t been active in the work of ColorOfChange in recent years.”

“After helping ColorOfChange get started in 2005, Van moved on to other pursuits,” the website now claims.

Previously, the site simply listed Jones as a co-founder but did not claim any distance from the radical activist.

Most major media reports on the Colors of Change campaign fail to note Jones is a founder of the group or that Beck has been reporting critically on Jones.

Beck’s program, meanwhile, has been taking major hits from the Colors of Change campaign.

Geico and Lawyers.com have pulled their ads from the Fox News show, and Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and SC Johnson have all claimed their ads were run in error and vowed to correct the mistake.

According to the White House blog, Jones’ duties include helping to craft job-generating climate policy and to ensure equal opportunity in the administration’s energy proposals.

Jones, formerly a self-described “rowdy black nationalist,” boasted in a 2005 interview with the left-leaning East Bay Express that his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class “justice.”

Jones was president and founder of Green For All, a nonprofit organization that advocates building a so-called inclusive green economy.

Until recently, Jones was a longtime member of the board of Apollo Alliance, a coalition of labor, business, environmental and community leaders that claims on its website to be “working to catalyze a clean energy revolution that will put millions of Americans to work in a new generation of high-quality, green-collar jobs.”

He was a founder and leader of the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. The organization had its roots in a grouping of black people organizing to protest the first Gulf War. STORM was formally founded in 1994, becoming one of the most influential and active radical groups in the San Francisco Bay area.

STORM worked with known communist leaders. It led the charge in black protests against various issues, including a local attempt to pass Proposition 21, a ballot initiative that sought to increase the penalties for violent crimes and require more juvenile offenders to be tried as adults.

The leftist blog Machete 48 identifies STORM’s influences as “third-worldist Marxism (and an often vulgar Maoism).”

Speaking to the East Bay Express, Van Jones said he first became radicalized in the wake of the 1992 Rodney King riots, during which time he was arrested.

“I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.”

“I met all these young radical people of color – I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’ I spent the next 10 years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary,” he said.

Trevor Loudon, a communist researcher and administrator of the New Zeal blog, identified several Bay Area communists who worked with STORM, including Elizabeth Martinez, who helped advise Jones’ Ella Baker Human Rights Center, which Jones founded to advocate civil justice. Jones and Martinez also attended a “Challenging White Supremacy” workshop together.

Martinez was a long time Maoist who went on to join the Communist Party USA breakaway organization Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, or CCDS, in the early 1990s, according to Loudon. Martinez still serves on the CCDS council and is also a board member of the Movement for a Democratic Society, where she sits alongside former Weathermen radicals Ayers and Dorhn.

One of STORM’s newsletters featured a tribute to Amilcar Cabral, the late Marxist revolutionary leader of Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands.

The tribute is noteworthy because Jones reportedly named his son after Cabral and reportedly concludes every e-mail with a quote from the communist leader.

STORM eventually fell apart amid bickering among its leaders.

Van Jones then moved on to environmentalism. He used his Ella Baker Center to advocate “inclusive” environmentalism and launch a Green-Collar Jobs Campaign, which led to the nation’s first Green Jobs Corps in Oakland, Calif.

At the Clinton Global Initiative in 2007, Jones announced the establishment of Green For All, an activist organization which in 2008 held a national green conference in which most attendees were black. Jones also released a book, “The Green Collar Economy,” which debuted at No.12 on the New York Times’ bestseller list – the first environmental book written by an African American to make the list.

His appointment as a White House environmental adviser was announced March 10.

Oh, got it, sorry. I didn't realize you were saying since Beck disagreed with one of the few good policy stances Bush took, the fact one year he rails against our health care system and next year he blasts Obama for doing the exact same thing is irrelevant. Okie dokie.

I guess whenever Beck decides to debate himself, his loyal listeners are free to choose which Beck they agree with, then go pop another cold one. That's a cool game - don't see how Beck could possibly lose.

Updated: Even more advertisers pull support for Glenn Beck

......a long list of controversial, provocative (some would say insane) segments on Beck's television program that, for the sake of brevity, is excerpted below:

Beck talks about "put[ting] poison" in Speaker Pelosi's wine. On his Fox News show, Beck gave a glass of wine to a person wearing a Pelosi mask, encouraged her to drink it, and then said: "By the way, I put poison in your -- no, I -- I look forward to all the policy discussions that we're supposed to have." [Glenn Beck, 8/6/09]

Beck: Obama is a "racist" and "has a deep-seated hatred for white people, or the white culture." Beck said: "This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy -- over and over and over again -- who has a deep-seated hatred for white people, or the white culture -- I don't know what it is. But you can't sit in a pew with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years and not hear some of that stuff and not have it wash over." He later added, "I'm not saying that he doesn't like white people. I'm saying he has a problem. He has a -- this guy is, I believe, a racist. Look at the way -- look at the things he has been surrounded by." [Fox News' Fox & Friends, 7/28/09]

Beck: "Everything that is getting pushed through Congress, including this health care bill" is "driven by President Obama's thinking on ... reparations" and his desire to "settle old racial scores." According to Beck, "Everything that is getting pushed through Congress, including this health care bill, are transforming America. And they are all driven by President Obama's thinking on one idea: reparations." Beck later added that Obama's "goal is creating a new America, a new model, a model that will settle old racial scores through new social justice." [Glenn Beck, 7/23/09]

Also - regarding Glen Beck. He's not doing what he's doing for the money. Anyone who listens to him on a regular basis knows this. Recently, he severed ties with GM as one of their spokesman, becuase he didn't want to speak positively about "Government Motors." They were paying him SEVEN figures. He told them to shove it.

And as the article says, "For its part, Fox News said through a spokeswoman that while some advertisers have "removed their spots from Beck," they have just shifted to "other programs on the network, so there has been no revenue lost."

Glenn Beck, controversial News personality, is losing advertising dollars for his program airing on the Fox News Channel. Corporate sponsors have been distancing themselves from Beck, fearing backlash for being associated with Beck's crazed and dangerous rantings and ravings. Recently Beck called President Obama a racist, just one of many utterances which has outraged his critics and worried his supporters.

Beck is known for his on air hysterics, his crying and manic gesticulations have become infamous. What is unclear is whether Beck is seriously mentally ill, or merely pandering in some gross and obnoxious fashion to the lowest, most base segment of American society. Perhaps it is both.

Regardless, GEICO is the latest corporate sponsor refusing to be associated with Beck. GEICO joins Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, Men’s Wearhouse, State Farm, Sargento and SC Johnson in boycotting the Glenn Beck Show.
Would you like to provide a few examples of "Beck's crazed and dangerous rantings and ravings"???....Please provide links if you don't mind.

As far as proclaiming "Obama is a racist", I don't believe it is all that far-fetched to make that assumption of a man who attended a Black Liberation Theology Church for 20 years where racial hatred for whites and jews was taught.

The companies that pull their adds from Becks show are doing so not because of anything he says, but only because they are succumbing to blackmail by a racist organizationhttp://colorofchange.org/ who supports Obama and threaten a boycott by black Americans.

It's an old extortion tactic they have learned from criminal racist thugs like Jesse Jackson and Al sharpten which have been quite affective for many years...Another sign that the white race needs to get fed up and put an end to this bullshit.

So you agree that a man that one drank or took drugs is an addict and a drunk.

Wow you must really love this president.

He is a drug addict and a drunk as well, but the worst is he smokes cigarettes making him one of the most stupid people in the US.

I am glad we agree on that.

Wow, I didn't realize what a complete idiot you were. You should educate yourself on these issues before speaking.

Glenn Beck speaks of being addicted to both drugs and alcohol. He lost many jobs and claims to have put the drugs and booze ahead of his family.

There's a big difference between someone who has an addiction and someone that doesn't. Go to http://google.com and type in drug addiction. You may learn something before the weekend is over.

I was watching Beck last week, and he's making a pretty compelling case concerning the Chicago political thugs that are inhabiting the whitehouse offices these days.

Not very flattering for Mr. Obama et.al...but perhaps all this fallout and boycotting is because Beck's getting too close for comfort to the truth. And, Obama's staff has to deflect away from those ugly lists compiled on our citizens for emailing his propaganda on the HC plan.

And what a fun hobby it would be to keep track of all those new sponsors
and keep this campaign up...start to include other FUX shows as well.

I love the idea of firing off 20 emails a week to the revolving new

Eventually they will have a small pool of companies and a more limited budget.

Look just because I asked you to provide some facts to support your insane claims about people that voted for Obama doesn't mean that you have to hide behind childish cartoons. Part of the beauty of blindly following the media masses is that you don't have to stand for anything. All you have to do is just follow whatever Murdoch tells you to follow. I didn't really expect you to be able to support your beliefs. As Senior keeps pointing out, there's millions of others that mindless follow the same path without any thought or concern for facts.

You can just mindless repeat things like "Palin, Jindal 2012" without ever giving it any thought and the fact that millions of Murdoch's followers will stand behind you is OK.

That's the advantage of it. That's why everyone keeps bragging about the numbers even though they know they're being lied to. If you actually have to have YOUR own beliefs than why would bother listening to Beck?

Take advantage of it. Hang with Wayne, Senior and the rest of the followers. You don't need to hide behind cartoons. Murdoch will provide you with all the thoughts that you need.

UPDATE



They're dropping like flies, folks.......lol


Already, twenty companies have agreed to pull advertisements from Glenn Beck's television show, within weeks of the Fox host calling Obama "a racist" and saying the president "has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."

Now, Farmers Insurance can be added to that list, a Farmers spokesperson confirms to POLITICO.

"We advertise on Fox News Channel which places our ads in the Network programming, and we ceased placing on Glenn Beck a week ago," said the spokesperson.


And CNN should be paying attention here. They've got their own on-air racist: Lou Dobbs.

UPDATE:

Glenn Beck Off This Week: Vacation or Something More?

First on TVNewser: Tipsters inside Fox News tell us Glenn Beck's vacation this week from his Fox News show was not planned. We hear Beck was told to take this week off to let some of the heat surrounding him die down. That heat began July 28 on "Fox & Friends" when Beck said he thought Pres. Obama has "a deep-seated hatred for white people," adding, "This guy is, I believe, a racist."

In the days and weeks that followed an organization called ColorofChange.org mobilized an effort to get advertisers to pull their spots from Beck's show. Earlier this month, a Fox News spokesperson told TVNewser that the advertisers simply moved their spots from Beck to other programs, "so there has been no revenue lost."

But the list of advertisers grew to 20 and so did the resolve inside FNC that something more should be done.

A Fox News spokesperson denied our accounts and simply told us, "Glenn Beck will back on Monday." But several sources inside FNC confirm that this is a forced vacation.
