His show has usually been Fox News third-highest show, behind Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. And since Fox News host Glenn Beck has come on the scene, he has been a thorn in the side of the left-wing machine.
But his July 28 "Fox & Friends" criticism of President Barack Obama's comments on the racially-charged Cambridge, Mass. incident in which a local policeman arrested Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. has sent the liberal nutroots over the edge. After left-wing storefronts drew attention to Beck's analysis, groups want to viewers to boycott his sponsors.
"Beck's wildly offensive charge, spurred by the recent controversy over the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr., was the latest low in a longstanding conservative narrative that ludicrously paints white men as the victims of ‘reverse racism' and oppression by minorities. Beck's egregious attack has prompted Color of Change to launch a campaign urging Beck's advertisers - which include GEICO and Proctor & Gamble - to stop sponsoring the shock jock's divisive hate-mongering," Tana Ganeva wrote for the liberal Web site Alternet on Aug. 3. "It's about time."
Good luck with that. Beck's latest book, "Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine," has dominated The New York Times bestsellers list for seven weeks now. He has a wildly popular TV show and a top-5 radio talk show. Boycotting Beck's advertisers will be easier said than done. In fact, it could backfire and solidify fan support for him.
But the campaign launched by Color of Change, a non-profit organization that "exists to strengthen Black America's political voice" isn't an actual boycott, but a plea for people to fill-out a Web form that is set up to send an e-mail to Beck's advertisers.
The left has made efforts to boycott other conservative pundits in the past, including, repeatedly, Rush Limbaugh. Those were so successful that Limbaugh signed a deal reportedly worth $400 million last year.

Wed, 08/05/2009 - 08:34 ET by danybhoyDirjj,
I have been bitching about GE & NBC here for a while. Whenever you are buying something, from lightbulbs to dishwashers to jet engines, avoid GE.
There are plenty of quality options other then purchasing items from a corrupt corperation. This is the same company that was doing buisness with Iran while they were helping kill our troops in Iraq, this is the same company in bed with Obama & is pimping Cap EnSlave so they can force "green technology" down our throats, & they will profit bigtime if they can get Obama-Care socialized single payer health care system because they will get to do the records. Immelt has bet the farm he can secure a monopoly with Obama. What he needs to remember is this, when you deal with the devil, you are ALWAYS the junior partner.
Bottom line, never buy GE again, they are an Anti-American company. I don't care where they are headquartered

Tue, 08/04/2009 - 14:23 ET by SickofLibsFrom Color of Change:
"The dangers of these tactics are real. We saw the same dynamic during the presidential race: by the end, the McCain/Palin campaign was unable to control the violent energy whipped up by their race-baiting. The result was an unprecedented number of threats on Obama's life, a rise in the number of hate groups, and an increase in the number of threats and crimes against immigrants and Black people."
"Unprecedented number of threats on Obama's life"? What does that mean, more than usual? A national white-on-black crime spree? Ha!
It's getting more obvious every day who the race baiters are.

I've heard Hannity called a shock jock, now Beck. These people either have no idea what terms mean or don't care (probably the latter). Howard Stern is a shock jock. Someone you don't agree with shouldn't be shocking, unless your eyes are so pink from kool-aid that you can't see straight.

I came to the conclusion a while ago that MSNBC has this problem, especially with Matthews. His analysis is almost MASTURBATORY in nature. He sit's there on the set, talking about getting thrills up his leg. Look, if he wants to "pleasure"himself, that's fine, but he should'nt do it on air & piss away what jounalistic cred he had.
On a similar but unrelated topic, I have heard the terms pleasuring one's self & self abuse. Well, WHICH IS IT?

BECK: This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy — over and
over again — who has a deep-seeded hatred for white people, or the
white culture. I don’t know what it is.
BECK: What kind of president of the United States immediately jumps on the police?
BECK: Now they’re going to have a beer? That’s obscene.
KILMEADE:
But listen, you can’t say he doesn’t like white people. David Axelrod’s
white, Rahm Emanuel’s his chief of staff, this, I think 70 percent of
the people we see everyday are white. Robert Gibbs is white.
BECK: 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.

I wish I could find a complete transcript of the entire segment. Of course the video of the segment is all over the place - YouTube to the DailyKos to here.
I think he misspoke. I think he meant angst more than hatred. I wouldn't consider Obama "post racial" by any means. I also think "bigoted" would be a better word than "racist", but I think he chose "racist" as it is dished out so haphazardly by the left..
Why not Jeb Bush?

Racism is racism.

Tue, 08/04/2009 - 20:59 ET by RayRaythe left has effectively defined a racist as "a white person who..."
when the Clinton gang had their national meeting on "racism" years ago, there was not the slightest inkling of any criticism of bigotry by blacks. It was meant to condem whites only.
Go to any black racist blogs (like blackvoices.com, paid for by AOL) and you'll see black racists ardently supporting the idea of never using the term "reverse racism". They know about how to use the deceptive power of words, which has been working in their favor for decades.
By saying "reverse racism", everyone instantly knows what we're talking about, otherwise the msg gets lost.
Similarly, a hate crime is pretty much defined as something a white person does. IIRC, the Long Island Railroad killings, by black racist Colin Ferguson, was never prosecuted as a hate crime. The same for the Atlanta Courthouse killer, who said afterwards that he was a "soldier for my people".
Oh, and a hate crime might also be defined as something that a hetero says about gays. So I sometimes use the term "reverse bigotry". It's time for conservatives to stop being always only on the defensive (with the tiring "I'm not a racist" grovelling) and to start instead to point out who the real bigots are: the reverse bigots.
Well

Nearly the exact same statement. Now, Should Obama be called a racist? I think he should. Beck thinks he should to! However, instead of getting fired, he was elected to the highest office in the US. But don't think there is a double standard or anything.

Excerpt from
"The Principles of Newspeak"
An appendix to 1984
Written by : George Orwell in 1948
Newspeak was the official language of Oceania, and had been devised to meet the ideological needs of Ingsoc, or English Socialism. In the year 1984 there was not as yet anyone who used Newspeak as his sole means of communication, either in speech or writing. The leading articles of the Times were written in it, but this was a tour de force which could only be carried out by a specialist, It was expected that Newspeak would have finally superseded Oldspeak (or standard English, as we should call it) by about the year 2050.
Meanwhile, it gained ground steadily, all party members tending to use
Newspeak words and grammatical constructions more and more in their
everyday speech. The version in 1984, and embodied in the Ninth and
Tenth Editions of Newspeak dictionary, was a provisional one, and
contained many superfluous words and archaic formations which were due
to be suppressed later. It is with the final, perfected version, as
embodied in the Eleventh Edition of the dictionary, that we are
concerned here.
The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression
for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of IngSoc,
but to make all other modes of thought impossible. It was intended that
when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten,
a heretical thought -- that is, a thought diverging from the principles
of IngSoc -- should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as
thought is dependent on words. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to
give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a
Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other
meaning and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect
methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but
chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and stripping such words as
remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all
secondary meaning whatever.
To give a single example - The word free still existed in Newspeak, but could only be used in such statements as "The dog is free from lice" or "This field is free
from weeds." It could not be used in its old sense of "politically
free" or "intellectually free," since political and intellectual
freedom no longer existed even as concepts, and were therefore of
necessity nameless. Quite apart from the suppression of definitely
heretical words, reduction of vocabulary was regarded as an end in
itself, and no word that could be dispenses with was allowed to
survive. Newspeak was designed not to extend but to diminish the range of thought, and this purpose was indirectly assisted by cutting the choice of words down to a minimum.
Wow, Dok, thank you for the excerpt. Very eerie.
Tue, 08/04/2009 - 18:26 ET by BO STINKS30 years since I read 1984.
Orwell was definitely a prophet. We have none to blame but ourselves for the slide into socialism/fascism. We must now pull out all the stops to yank our country from the despot's hands. God be with us all.

Instead, we have Obamacare (with all its quirks that no-one has read), MSNBC and CNN, and Britney Spears.

Tue, 08/04/2009 - 19:38 ET by Cape ConservativeVERY EERY to hear segments of HIM reading his OWN words...such as when he made a CONSCIOUS decision to cast aside that part of himself that was his mother's race! Instead he chose to identify himself with his father...a man who didn't give a hoot or holler for him ALL HIS LIFE! This man is VERY WARPED because of his upbringing! He knows NOTHING about growing up black in America! He knows NOTHING about flag etiquette - he knows NOTHING about any of the traditional American celebrations!!! There is a stranger in our White House...and I did NOT vote to put him there!
What Glenn said is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

Tue, 08/04/2009 - 19:12 ET by DeskpilotGEICO customer, I just called them and the CSR was more than happy to receive my call in SUPPORT of their advertising on Glenn Beck's show. She said that she would persoanlly e-mail the Marketing Dept and pass on the comments of an INSURED CUSTOMER, which I think is far more valueable to them than a bunch of un-insured, non-customer, rabble-rousers.
P&G will get my support during grocery shopping tomorrow, but sadly, no GE light-bulbs, OR hazardous mercury flourescent curly ques either.

Boycott
Tue, 08/04/2009 - 19:53 ET by Joe CamelMy wife and I already boycott all advertisers from the ABC, CBS and NBC news shows. We DVR them, find the advertisers, as we don't actually watch their programs, then send the list off to others who do the same. I figure if they are in the toilet for Obama, well, I won't do business with those who enable them to espouse it. Economics is fun.
Keith Olbermannnnnnn
Tue, 08/04/2009 - 22:54 ET by DeclinesToStateI don't think it would be worth any effort to go after Keith's poor excuse for a show on MSnbc, but they allow him on football broadcasts. This is a big target. I refuse to watch anybody as intolerant as this fascist/infantile name caller. If I see him on Sunday Night Football, I change the channel. Now I will note the advertisers and never support any of their products. Please note, I am not trying to silence him or his right to free speech, I simply don't want to give my business and time to someone I find so offensive....... A national movement?

I do the same....and I live for football season.

Wed, 08/05/2009 - 07:40 ET by ZacraI plan to switch insurance just to p--s them off. Geico here I come!
I'm going to start listening.
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 09:02 ET by Mike76I haven't listened to Glenn Beck lately, but if liberals call it "wildly offensive," the "latest low" and "divisive hate-mongering," it must be pretty good. Thanks for the heads-up, libs.
On a side note, in my job, I'm in a postion to hear what people listen to on the radio. Ever since the Rush bashing started when Obama was "elected," I'd say listening to Rush has jumped by about 1000%. I'm not kidding. Before, I'd hear Rush once in a while. Now, EVERYBODY seems to be listening to him.
EL-RUSHBO...
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 09:07 ET by danybhoyThe funny part is that El-Rushbo knows it. He has mentioned the fact that his numbers are up & his weight is down. He owns the drive-by/state-run media, whether they know it or not.
I am off to pursue one of Rush's great passions, golf...

Glenn Becks Show
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 09:52 ET by VinncyGIf anyone has not watched his show, some may claim he is conspiratorial but he has done such an excellent job of connecting the dots that and you understand what is being done to our country. The Idiot-In-Chief who has no experience, can't put two sentences together that makes sense without a teleprompter "Organized" this charade. With that said, and him being so stupid, you can easily connect the dots. Glenn Beck has been doing that.
Last nights show on Fox 8/4/09 was excellent so much so I saved it to show my friends. Connect the dots everyone, this so called president and the democrats are going to ruin this country for God knows how long unless we stop them at the polling booths, while we still can do that.
So this is Progressivism Hummm, I think I'll take a double dose of democracy thank you.
Boycott turned into praise

Wed, 08/05/2009 - 19:43 ET by Cape ConservativeInsider group today to show my support! This man has got to be one of the biggest aggravants 'the one' has to deal with - and I say, GOOD FOR YOU, GLENN!!!
THANK YOU for being our voice. The msm and Democrats (oops, that's redundant) have decreed that we don't know how to speak for ourselves...doncha know we have to have our words written out by the GOP - and even then we have trouble pronouncing them! /sarc off
I can't begin to express how grateful I am for the strength Glenn displays every day as he tackles these 'hot potato' issues that everyone else is content to overlook.
IF, and that is a BIG IF, any of my congressional reps holds a public hearing, I WILL be there!

Beck's the main media guy
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 16:17 ET by RR GOPBeck's the main media guy who's actually investigating and pinning these guys down...and they don't like it. The guests that Beck get are great! These are people who provide details and investigate the Leftists. If nothing else, Mr. Beck is giving them air time they otherwise wouldn't have to inform the American people.
Hannity's dropped the ball-he doesn't want to seem to dig deeper, but Hannity has done a great job in the "radical associations" department and within a few days of each other both Newt Gingrich and one other (Rove or Morris, can't remember which) admitted to Hannity on the air that he was right that Obama is a radical.
O'Reilly's been backtracking a little on the birth certificate thing and even had a viewer's email on the matter at the end of his show last night-but didn't comment on it one way or another!
Also, Beck made O'Reilly pause when he couldn't figure out exactly why Obama has all these Czars when originally he simply wanted to dismiss them out of hand.

Wed, 08/05/2009 - 23:17 ET by The7SticksLet's see... Who was it that made the gaffe that Alaska was bought by the United States in the 1950s? Not annexed as a state, as the history shows, but bought? When you make a blatantly moronic gaffe like that, you must ask yourself why you think this guy is a brilliant analyzer if the real case is that he's a talented radio man with a good golf swing but not much else? See, this is why you have to go to shows like the Phil Hendrie show to find the truth in its most basic form.

You must ask yourself if you want to take advice from someone who listens to the retarded Phil Hendrie show because he considers it "truth in its most basic form."
*snort* You have serious issues. The reality is that Phil Hendrie is all bullshit, all the time. When you make a blatantly moronic gaffe like that, Catholic hater, do you really think anyone takes you seriously?
