Liberal Censors Target Fox on 'Toxic Asset' Beck: 'Clean It Up or Get Rid of It'

Associated Press media reporter David Bauder has noted that Glenn Beck returns to Fox News from vacation on Monday with a total of 33 advertisers now unwilling to advertise on his program, including Wal-Mart, CVS, Clorox, and Sprint.

Bauder explained it was a campaign to target Beck’s advertisers after he claimed President Obama was a racist, but Bauder failed to define the campaigners as liberals or Obama supporters, but merely as "a group that promotes political action among blacks." Later in the story, Bauder did make it quite clear this group wants Beck removed from television:

ColorofChange.org quickly targeted companies whose ads had appeared during Beck's show, telling them what he had said and seeking a commitment to drop him. The goal is to make Beck a liability, said James Rucker, the organization's executive director.

"They have a toxic asset," Rucker said. "They can either clean it up or get rid of it."

Color of Change is explicitly pro-Obama: its website sells a T-shirt with a baby dialing up an image of Obama on the Internet with the slogan "I am the color of change 1.20.09." Apparently, black is the color of change, while white is the color of reactionaries. Or worse, white is the color that drowned the blacks in Hurricane Katrina, as their group’s About page suggested:

ColorOfChange.org exists to strengthen Black America's political voice. Our goal is to empower our members -- Black Americans and our allies -- to make government more responsive to the concerns of Black Americans and to bring about positive political and social change for everyone.

We were heart-broken and outraged by the catastrophe that followed Hurricane Katrina. And we were devastated to realize that no African-American organization or coalition had the capacity to respond on the necessary scale.

Hurricane Katrina made it clear that our lack of a political voice has life-and-death consequences. With no one to speak for them, hundreds of thousands of people -- largely Black, poor, and elderly -- were left behind to die.

It’s pretty funny that a group with that kind of conspiracy-theory lingo (and charges about "Katrina's hidden race war") would suggest Glenn Beck is too outrageous for the airwaves. But this was the line of the entire liberal media in smearing the federal government after the hurricane, skipping over the incompetent black mayor of New Orleans, since he was apparently the "color of change."

Aren't they the same group

Aren't they the same group that called Bush racist after Katrina? 

"DumbAssity of Dope"

Payback

Simple. This is just payback for exposing ACORN. These groups back each other up. As for Beck's statement, he should have backed it up with, "From post racial to most racial in six months". There needs to be more light on EVERYTHING.

Advertisers Boycott and Leftwing Mobsters

The "boycott" of Beck will last for a month or so, until the cackling socialists move onto their next "cause"

The advertiseers could care less about Beck. They just don't want to be targeted by leftwing mobsters.

This is just AP giving a

This is just AP giving a little advertising for C of  C. This group is tied directly to the White House through Van Jones. Go to the site http://www.defendglenn.com/  for the correct information. Many of the so called boycotters are and never have advertised on Glenn Beck's show. In fact, some have pulled advertising from all news/commentary shows including MSNBC.

Thank you so much.

Thanks for posting this information and website, d1carter.  Too many good people on this website are falling for the phony boycott stuff without giving these companies the benefit of the doubt and checking out the truth.  We can't take these leftist website as the source to what it actually going on with Beck's television show.  We should know better.

It's going to get worse

before it gets better. How long before the light bulb goes off in peoples head that you simply cannot replace one form of racisim for another and say we've healed?

what is this Foxnews

the "anti-censorship" crowd promoting censorship - lovin it:)

Sorry, I'm falling down laughing at this.....

With no one to speak for them  hundreds of thousands of people -- largely Black, poor, and elderly -- were left behind to die.

Do they mean no one spoke for them when their black Mayor failed to?

Just more proof that blacks can say anything they want, call others racist and murderers, without fear of reprisal.  But let a white man open his mouth and express an opinion distasteful to blacks, and all hell breaks loose.

Racism: it's whatever blacks say it is.  Opinions: some are more equal than others.

Update: Sorry, Tim, you did comment on Nagin, but I guess my eyes were glazing over by the time I got that far.....

 

exactly, mb

Everything can be blamed on Bush. It's not like Nagin opened the Superdome to the public so they could stay in the city, even as weather experts on TV were saying at that very moment the entire city would be lost.

And it's not like Nagin saw the damage Katrina did to Florida or had enough common sense to understand it had strengthened in the gulf.

Bush blew up the trade center. Bush blew up the levees. Bush forced Ray Nagin to keep poor people in the city just so they can all die. It's okay to tell our children that Bush was out to get them.

But I'm unamerican for protesting a bill in Congress.

 

Must be true Candance

Spike Lee did a movie about it so it must be true.

Of course Spike Lee also did a movie about the inability of black women to control their desires "She's Gotta Have It".

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

Change is racism

Welcome to 'change'. Now 'African American' racists and hate mongers are free to attack and spew hate with no fear of repercussions from the American government. Colorofchange is no less a terror organization than the New Black Panthers or the KKK. They use ginned up fear and hate to achieve their goals.

Color of Change...

...was founded by Vasn Jones, who is currently Nobama's "Green Jobs" czar. This signals Nobama's willingness to destroy any and all opponents of his fascist oligarchy. There's nothing stealthy about this. Beck's shows should be very interesting this week.

this is no longer JUST a boycott

We all have been part of boycotts over the years, or at least I have been.  But this is Van Jone's who is one of the "czars" directing this against a private citizen.  The level of overt evil is astonishing to me.  This the White House destroying someone for thought crimes!  When I was all for telling the government to "stick it" I meant all government, not just the one I wasn't supporting.  These are very dangerous times and I am finding out how long all these plans have been in place.  http://www.vanityfai...

 

sorry my tinfoil didn't fit right this morning  ; )

See?, the Communist left

See?, the Communist left "loves" free speech too!!. Typical Stalinist tactic from Van Jones group. I hope they keep it up, it's driving Beck's ratings even higher. It will ensure Obama's defeat in '12 and huge losses for the Commucrats in the Congress. Have you seen Harry Reids poll numbers? They suck almost as bad as Harry himself.

The joy of living in the Hope, Change and The Post Racial Era

Glad to see Glenn Beck will be back today.

Should be interesting to

Should be interesting to hear what he has to say....

I just love how the left, and black liberals in particular, have taken it upon themselves to decide what is covered by free speech and what is "toxic."  Opining that the President is racist is the equivalent of yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theater?

Come on you (Colorofchange)guys....just the name of your organization is racist!  And you would secretly love the idea if your President was racist!  After all, you want him to really stick it to the white man, don't you?  

I'd imagine Beck will mention the list himself

He knows what happened to Rush after Obama went after him.  I'd imagine Glenn will play this for all it's worth.

I certainly hope Fox doesn't bow to the pressure....what they ought to do is drop the rates during Beck's hour a tad, bring in a whole raft of new advertisers who could then afford the spots. 

What we ought to do is write in to Beck's show, saying we hadn't previously watched, but will do so now in support of Beck's free speech and to defend him against this media-based attack.  Then turn on the TV.  Get his viewership up even further, to make those spots well-viewed and tempting to new advertisers.

And look on the bright side, no more "free-credit-reports.com" ditties.  Halleleuja!

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Good idea, B....

Personally, I find Beck rather annoying at times, but I think I will put up with him and make it a point to watch his show now....

It's usually on 2 TV's in my house

Just because there's nothing else on at 5:00 (my mom loves Beck).

I have an issue with the 4:00 hour, though....Cavuto is my favorite of all of the Fox hosts, but he's on at the same time as the Hotel Inspector, LOL.

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

blonde -- The Hotel

blonde -- The Hotel Inspector!! The new series on Channel 5 here at the moment. She's in Italy this week, I saw the trail during the Mentalist!

Thanks Barack! You've done more to promote conservatism than any president since Ronald Reagan (PBUH).

I read somewhere that they replaced Ruth Watson. 

I love that show!  She cracks me up.

I hope he fails, too.

blonde I just checked my Sky listings and its on tonight. The lady is Alex Polizzi, but as I haven't watched it at all, not sure how she compares!

She's in a guest house in the Swiss Alps. Being that the Swiss are obsessionally clean, could be a prob finding filth!

Thanks Barack! You've done more to promote conservatism than any president since Ronald Reagan (PBUH).

Hee hee, mb

Glen Beck is doing a profile on Van Jones as I type this....not very complimentary at all.

No wonder this hate group is after Beck's scalp.

You go, Glenn!

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

So are they going

To boycott MSNBC for calling Americans every nasty thing they can think of? Or how about what they call Sarah Palin over at that cesspool. channel.

Why not?

Personally my TV doesn't tune MSNBC or CNN.

Boycott hypocrisy...by the right

Oh the hypocrisy!  Spare me the false sense of victimization of Mr. Beck!!!  Did not this Web-Site direct a boycott of CBS when they tried to air a docu-drama of the Regans?  Karma huh?

All Hail as the Afro-Turfers all fail

Oh diddums. You're just mad because when conservatives boycott things, it actually works. Like the DIXIE CHICKS, whose popularity nose-dived.

Unlike the Afro-Turfers at "color of derange" who are being paid by George Soros to orchestrate a fauxcott of Glen Beck.

Sure, that's gonna work. I'll make a little bet: Beck will break all rating records this week and become FNC's top rated show ever.

And I'm not even a fan.

Thanks Barack! You've done more to promote conservatism than any president since Ronald Reagan (PBUH).

Hey, it is change..look the baby is alive rather than aborted

I guess they couldn't advertise with an aborted fetus...

How is that Katrina cleanup coming..it was so important that nothing has been done on his watch!

Hunderds of thousands?????

I think my racist tv (no, it can't be, it's a color set) has kept the final death toll from me, I was thinking the number of dead was much lower. I'll go see what my black and white tv has to say.

Well, they were all "left

Well, they were all "left behind to [hopefully] die" but they didn't all actually die (the white racist plan was foiled, somehow!)

It sure was foiled,

Foiled by good, God fearing Christian white folks in Houston, Texas who literally lined up to help the evacuees with food, clothing, shelter, receiving them into our homes, free rent (at local taxpayer expense), etc. etc.

Our reward: our black population increased significantly, and our crime rate rose almost 30%.  And, wait for it...around 80% of that crime was black on black.  Shame on us racist white folk for making them kill one another! 

List of Cowardly Sponsors

Does anyone know of the complete list of cowardly sponsors?

Thank you Tim for Covering this

Gosh am I glad to see this covered.  I was just drinking my coffee this morning and saw David Bauder's article over on Yahoo "news".  The misinformation was horrible and so I  googled who he was and what his other articles have been.  Hmmm, he posts on HuffPo and he is anti-fox to name a few things.  Man, I have to check the source on everything I see and read.  all this because some said he THOUGHT someone was racist.  Not that he said something racist himself!  So telling someone they are racist is BEING racist?  Man, I am sooo confused.

What did Beck Do

Is it the call Obama a racist thing? Well first off Obama is a racist, how else do you explain sitting in that nice racist Wright's church for 20 plus years.

Oh, so you say Black Liberation Theology, of Black Nationalism, is there any difference?

And wasn't that a cool line of 'Obama the racist' he took with Gates? Calling everybody el;se a racist before the Joker even knew the facts ... Did you see the picture of the beer summit walk out on the White House steps? One photo all you need to know about the Joker.

 

The left is deathly afraid of Beck, Obama wore out the race card ...

Sponsors are idiots

ConAgra's PR department is full of idiots!! Not only do they pull their ads from one of the top rated shows to satisfy a bunch of lunatics that are more inflammatory than Beck (and why aren't they advertising on Olbermann, Matthews and Shultz?) but they think the viewers are stupid enough to believe that the advertisers endorse the positions of the shows!

The companies that have moved their ads elsewhere in recent days included ConAgra, Geico, Procter & Gamble and the insurance company Progressive. In a statement that echoed the comments of other companies, ConAgra said on Thursday that ''we are firmly committed to diversity, and we would like to prevent the potential perception that advertising during this program was an endorsement of the viewpoints shared.'' 

And we trust these idiots to produce the food we eat?

Color of Change, B. S.!!!!!

Heres a little bit of hard cold facts for these color of change racist pigs! I'm become RACIST! The constant cry of racism is driving myself and others like me to become just that! I'm sick of hearing the cry of the "Poor, Picked On, Black People!" How about the constantly deride WHITE PEOPLE! By the way, Massa Rucker, do you have any idea regarding the thousands of WHITE PEOPLE who walked with your people during the civil rights movement? Many lost their lives [Two of the three civil rights workers in Mississippi were white!] It was a WHITE person who infiltrated the Klan an helped solve that murder case. Many WHITES were beaten for associating with or defending blacks! Guess what, Massa Rucker, its over! You and yours had better lay off of my people because we're not going to take it any more! If I don't want to hire you, I'm not going to hire you! If I don't want to sell you my house, I'm not going to! I have a right to choice guaranteed in the Constitution according to the liberal justices you hold in high regard! Can you say Thurhgood Marshall? Anyway, you POOR BLACKS have gotten away with enough and your Waterloo is coming!

"What a revoltin' development this is!"

Chester Riley

This is the brown-shirt phase being implemented

the Color of Change is an openly and blatantly racist group. They are bullying and threatening corporations to do as they are told.

How ironic that a racist group is trying to force off the air a person who said that some of Obama's remarks makes him believe that he himself is a racist.

Is it really ironic or is this indeed the change that they are trying to bring?

I am personally compiling a list of the advertisers that have caved in to this blatanltly racist hate group and will stop buying any of their products until they grow a spine (probably never).

Ratings

I think we are going to see Glenn's ratings go through the roof as a result of this.

"I dont need to read a newspaper to know the world's been shaved by a drunken barber."

Walter Brennan, The Colonel, Meet John Doe, 1941

I wonder how many of those

I wonder how many of those advertisers dropped their ads because of this supposed boycott, and how many dropped their ads because like all advertisers, they frequently change their ad buys?

The days of long-term sponsorship are long gone. Also, Wal Mart has just started a massive new joint marketing campaign with their suppliers. Before, they were just advertising themselves. Now they are advertising various products and adding themselves in at the end as a supplier, which means the target audience for those spots is going to be vastly different.

Sounds to me like these jerks are trying to claim success for something they had nothing to do with.

They Can't Win

We can't let these guys win. The group is apparenlty controlled by an Obama czar. If we let the pseudo-govt. censor media and free speech, we might as well call it quits and start passing out our Constitution as 2-ply.

This is an absolute lie

Hurricane Katrina made it clear that our lack of a political voice has
life-and-death consequences. With no one to speak for them, hundreds of
thousands of people -- largely Black, poor, and elderly -- were left
behind to die.

From http://archive.newsm...

_____

Of the 883 bodies processed so far by medical examiners at St. Gabriel,
562 have been identified by race. Slightly less than half that number -
48 percent - are African-American.


Forty-one percent are white, 8 percent unknown and 2 percent Hispanic.


The remarkable numbers, which undermine claims that Katrina rescue
efforts were somehow infused by racism, have been completely ignored by
the national media, with only the Lousiana-based news web site, The
Bayou Buzz, devoting any coverage at all to the story.


The surprisingly low death rate for black Katrina victims comes despite
the fact that New Orleans itself was more than two-thirds black [67
percent] when the storm hit. White residents made up less than a third
[28 percent] of the city's population, according to U.S. Census bureau
numbers.


The two hardest hit areas were Orleans parish, which is the city itself
- with 720 people killed by Katrina - and St. Bernard parish, with 123
dead.


St. Bernard parish is 88 percent white, but the total population before
the storm was just 65,554 people. The city of New Orleans, on the other
hand, had 484,674 people before the storm, 67 percent of whom were
black.


The two populations combined were still over 60 percent black - twelve
points higher than the percentage of black residents killed by Katrina.

______

Katrina did not discriminate across economic lines, either. Rich homes were destroyed as well as poor homes, and the same type of insurance problems existed. About the only area Katrina did discriminate is in the category of age where a disproportionate number of the elderly died.

 

              

                  I am boycotting the advertisers who have dropped Beck. If Fox gets rid of him, I will stop watching Fox. This is extortion. Where else can the people hear the truth? CNN? ABC? CBS? PMSNBC? I don't think so.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

its doesn't have to be about racism

Let me leave race completely out of this and go back to a point that has been made many times about President Obama and his administration and that is their attacks on private citizens and individual public figures. An appointed member of Obama's advisors is using an organization that he is heading while simutaneously holding office to attack an public figure over his opinion. This is not about racism it is about the opression of the people by an administration who continues to stretch the powers of the government and put into question the validity of the rights of the ordinary citizens.

A person may be won over with logic and reason but the masses must be bought with spectacle and platitudes. - 2008 Elections

Good post

 This has to backfire with the ultimate end, Van Jones stepping down. This is freaky.

I am the mob. Don't tread on me.

Obama's CHANGE, Racism directed from the White House.

Obama's Czar Van Jones father of Black America's racist political voice "Color of Change" will cost Obama dearly.  Their attack on Glenn Beck will fail and the fallout will land on Comrade Obama.

 No matter the current appearance of the politics of “Hope & Change” Black America is not comprised of militant racists nor do they perceive themselves as life’s victims.  This racist campaign linked to the White House will FAIL.

 

Beck boycott backfiring badly

Color of Change is a racist, socialist organization:

http://www.newsmax.c...

-Dave

News of Beck's death is greatly exaggerated

RD -- I'm just not a huge fan of Beck's on-screen schtick. He just grates on me after a few minutes, even though I tend to agree with his politics.

But the "colors of derange" boycott is just hilarious in the annals of unintended consequences.

The Newsmax article is quite clear in exposing the Baron Von Muchausean delusions of this tiny outfit.

It just ain't happening, and many of those supposed companies pulling ads have a policy of not advertising on political shows at all.  They never advertised on Beck, so they cannot pull any ads.

So all is happening is that shows like Olbermann will suffer a drop in their much needed ad rev.

Too delicious.

Thanks Barack! You've done more to promote conservatism than any president since Ronald Reagan (PBUH).

Jack,

Yeah, I can only take Beck in small doses as well, but I am glad to see this stupid boycott is having unintended consequences for the fascist lefties promoting it.

LOL-Funny how "unintended consequences" goes together with "liberalism" like beer goes with pretzels, chicken goes with rice, or bread goes with mayonaise.

-Dave

did you notice, dave?

One little detail mentioned in that article: Color of Change was established by a guy named Van Jones.

Who is Van Jones? A self-described communist who got arrested for destroying property in the Rodney King riots. After his release from prison, he became a politicial operative and started working with a bunch of Obama's friends from Weather Underground.

Guess where he is now. He's a czar in charge of "green jobs" for Obama.

And all of his old buddies at Color of Change have launched a "nonpartisan" campaign to get rid of the one pundit who talked about Jones on TV.

What a coinkydink.

 

cd, I did notice that

And what really frosts me is the stone silence of the republicans over his appointment, or the appointments of any of these other commieczars, for that matter.

That hapless party is going to really have to get its act together if it is going to have any chance in 2010.

Right now, the only thing they have going for them is Obama, and I don't think that is going to be enough all by itself.

-Dave

Republican silence

Indeed.

A lot of us younger folks feel betrayed by the mess we're being handed and annoyed by the "leadership" we get from Republicans. First we're told to get out there and make a difference, and then we're told to vote for a rino who ignores our concerns.

Meanwhile folks like Rush are making "uranus" jokes about Barney Frank.

 

 

Can..........you guys are overlooking one thing....

How the hell did a CONVICTED FELON, end up as an ObamaCzar!!??  I was out working the streets during the Rodney King riots, everyone we arrested for that type of crime, were convicted of felonies. 

A typical citizen has to pass a detailed background check before they are even considered to be hired by the Govt.  How many other felons serve at the pleasure of "King Zero"?

BEGrunt,

Under the rules in place in the DoD, Obama could not get any kind of a security clearance.  Yet he has the nuclear football now?  His associations, and acknowledgement of using cocaine and marijuana would bar him from any clearance at all.  So, it's no wonder that his administration has felons in it.  But, the 0 did an end run around congress and appointed the czars, and they required no background checks, no vetting at all.  And the State Run Media ignored it.  As did Congress. 

UpNorth....you are totally correct!!

Makes total sense to have "Czars" with NO oversight, or congressional approval.  I remember the microscope I had to go through when I was in the Air Force, and later through the Sheriff's Department.  This makes "King "wee wee" Zero" the most dangerous man to hold the office of POTUS.

h/t: "wee wee" / cool arrow   :-)

These sponsors should be

These sponsors should be contacted and be told that if they drop sponsorship because of this thuggery, they will be exposed and everyone who watches Beck and everyone who cares about freedom of speech will boycott them.

Sponsors are afraid of controversy.  They think they can drop the Beck ads and get away with it...let's teach them a lesson.

Also, I wonder if these companies stopped contributing to the Obama campaign once the "typical white person" comment became widely known....

Well I'll avoid those products

I know I'll avoid any company that actively participates in the goal to censor someone. 

I must say, things have changed a lot since the Imus firing after companies withdrew advertising from his show. I remember making a post asking NewsBusters to list the companies. RD Helm posts a link with the companies involved. Will NewsBusters do an article on the companies participating in this censorship?
Yea, I think this is yet another incredibly stupid move that probably can be traced back to the White House.

I am the mob. Don't tread on me.

Someone already posted the link.

Well then maybe

They could profile the Newsmax article? Thats the wonderful thing about covering news by proxy. You can critique the article of what you want to cover. And if all else fails, as in the case with sex and tv, just do an essay. NewsBusters does essays too!

Are you saying they can't make the companies more visible because NewsBusters is limited in what they can cover?

I am the mob. Don't tread on me.

→ Sure they can

What this points out, to me, is the sheer terror giant corporations feel under this administration.  Walmart will do anything to avoid Card Check, hours of sucking Obama's toes isn't out of the question.

Pharma dreads the monopoly of "single buyer" plans, and the shunted R&D that will result.

Big business is behaving contrary to its bottom line under free market capitalism.

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

CA, Wal-Mart

is in bed with the SEIU over Obamacare, just trying to head off card check.  And they just appointed a "diversity officer".  Isn't that just wonderful? 

And there's no way to contact their corporate offices, you can only e-mail about a specific store now.  And, I would have to use a created account at yahoo or something, the wife works there.  

No.

Sheesh....you specifically "asked" NB to report it, didn't you?  I merely pointed out that the list was already available in the comments, but of course, you just blabber and don't read.

Don't attempt to put words or ideas in my post that aren't there.

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

No argument

I know lists are in a few comments. A lot of people that read NewsBusters never read the comments. I don't see how doing a little article about the boycott ( either directly since Beck is a media figure or indirectly by reporting on NewsMax's article) and having a list of the sponsors in the body of the article, or even just a link to the list of sponsors, would hurt anything. 

As in the Imus case with Sharpton, Color of Change has no power except what comes from these companies. They are very much part of the story. Now while no company should be forced to advertise where they don't want to advertise, they should be held accountable when its fairly obvious they are caving to thuggery.

Thats it. Agree or disagree, as Forest might say "And thats all I have to say about that."

I am the mob. Don't tread on me.

This was an odd sighting...

Completely unnecessary.

Doesn't MSNBC and CNN

Doesn't MSNBC and CNN portray ALL republicans as evil white racist Christians on a daily basis??

Is there an African American on cable news outside of Juan Williams that doesn't defend all things black and all that disagree are RACIST?! 

I'm a refugee from the Democratic Party.

 

I thought I read somewhere

I thought I read somewhere that these companies are in reality just moving their advertising away from the opinion shows (including Beck) but not actually pulling them from FOX itself. Furthermore this included the opinion based commentary shows on MSNBC and CNN as well as Fox, so it actually is not only Beck that is having advertisers re-locate. ---http://hotair.com/archives/2009/08/19/is-there-really-a-boycott-of-glenn-beck/

pulling support for Beck?

Well, stack them up and list the names....I have no problem at all boycotting the A.H.'s!!!!   I am sick of the socialistic liberal morons in this country...maybe they would like living in Cuba better huh, thats a 3rd world rathole that I see can't even get toilet paper....what the H are people thinking of?  Thats the problem, they don't think!

This is damage control by the Liberals

What has been failed to be reported is that our new 'Green Jobs' Czar Van Jones is a founding board member of Color of Change.  Jones was also on the board of the Apollo Alliance, a hard-left environmentalist group that is now running large chunks of the Obama administration. Beck pounded away at the Apollo Alliance and Jones on a recent show.

Coincidence?  I don't think so.

btw, were the people that were 'left behind to die' in New Orleans, the ones stealing the TV's or the VCR's?

Nagin failed the residents of New Orleans by not using every method he could to evacuate them.  Anyone remember seeing  the film footage of the many school buses that went unused?  Maybe they could have been utilized to evacuate those people.

Holy Crap..more Katrina

Holy Crap..more Katrina stuff?  WTH?  Yeah, the one's not left behind in New Orleans came over here and the crime rate sky rocketed, in every town they went to in Texas including Central Texas. We evacuated to Central Texas and ran into folks there from South Louisiana from four years ago and had never found a job. They were still living on public assistance, in a state where you can accidentally find a job that paid higher then where ever the hell you've come from! As far as I'm concerned the rest of the country found out exactly what South Louisiana is like. 

We got hammered by Ike almost a year ago, we were off the news in two freaking days!  And they are still talking about Katrina?  I couldn't give two craps about Katrina right about now.  New Orleans is a damn money pit in addition to being a huge porta potty. 

As far as I'm concerned I hope Beck's ratings increase by 12% which I am sure they will do now.  Good for him.  I don't watch him much, but I may start now.

I'm thinking the same

I don't watch him much, but I may start now. 

Anything thing that provokes that reaction from an obviously racist group probably deserves a look.

I am the mob. Don't tread on me.

→ ConRex

And it's not as though Rita was a Spring shower either.

Truth is, The levee committee in N.O. had records of lawn care, and little else.

New Orleans, and Louisiana in general was second only to Chicago politics in its level of corruption prior to Katrina.

I'm 56 years old, and I remember being told, of a certainty, in High School, that the flooding of New Orleans was a disaster waiting to happen.

Obviously, the residents of Galveston aren't "colored" enough for "Color of Change".

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

What you saw in Katrina

What you saw in Katrina was people conditioned by the government to be dependent on the government. That was the disaster- not the hurricane.

I am the mob. Don't tread on me.

→ Got that right nwahs

It seems there is comfort numbers, even when it's the perception of being a victim, and the victimhood is imagined.

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

Being stupid comes in every color.

So Beck is now America's #1 enemy eh? Those trying to kill us all are not going to like that very much.  

Lets ask Obama the same question they did Bush...

"Do you even know where bin laden is?" 

Berry's answer: "Who?..... I know everyone at Fox, I don't remember him?"

 

 

 

Obama

People can draw their own conclusions but these are the facts

1. Obama's mother Stanley Ann Dunham was a Marxist activist

2.  Obama's mentor from 1971 - 1979 was Frank Marshall Davis was a writer, Marxist and Black Liberationist

3.  Obama studied at Columbia in the early 1980s under teachers who where disciplines of Herbert Marcuse who was a leading member of the Frankfurt School a Neo-Marxist think tank

4.  Obama got his political start in Bill Ayers living room and palled around with Bill Ayers.  Ayers admitted to being a Marxist.  In Feb 2009 Ayers had published his latest book.  "Race Course Against White Supremacy."

 

5. Obama attended Rev. J. Wrights Trinity church in Chicago from about 1988 - 2008.  Wright was a desciple of James Cone.  James Cone was a Marxist and the founder of the Black Liberation movement.  Cone believed that Jesus was black and that blacks are superior to white people.

6.  Obama Green Czar Van Jones is a Marxist and former member of the Black Panthers.

7.  Eric Holder the AG of the U.S. arbitrarily dismissed the voter intimidation case against 2  New Black Panthers and let them walk after they had been found guilty.  A 3rd member of the group was prohibited from the AG's office from doing something that was already illegal.

8.  Obama made no meaningful public comments about the Black Muslim Riverdale bombers who attempted to slaughter hundreds of innocent white American civilians.

There is more but the evidence seems to indicate that Beck is correct.

 

 

 

Well a 11:48 EDT

It would appear ColorofChange.org has crashed.

I am the mob. Don't tread on me.

ColorofChange was founded by a low life communist punk...

...who once associated himself with America-hating terrorists, and who was recently appointed by Obama as his "Green Jobs" commieczar.

When Has the GOP Ever Taken Advantage of an Opportunity?

We're on our own.

Or as someone put it, quite eloquently, we are the cavalry.

Response Needed

Someone needs to form up a pro-Beck group and do a counter-boycott. Much of the work is already done because the lefties have websites listing the boycotting advertisers and the remaining advertisers complete with contact information.

Could we

Could we get an open thread during the Beck show today? I'll be watching. Love to see some real time comments.

And... Michelle Wie and the Solheim Cup team ROCKS!

Cheese People

Did anyone ever get a response from the Sargento Cheese people for dropping Beck? I never got a response from them.

I think that was Soetero Cheese.

Or was that Sargento?  I've slept since then.

As a result, every company on the list has lost my business and is now on the list of businesses that my company is forbidden to use.

(I would say blacklisted, but Obama might get all wee-weed up. He has a personal problem along those lines. Rubber sheets, you know.)

Goth,

I never got a response either.  So, I guess they consider me expendable.  I'll shop accordingly. 

Toxic Beck?

I have listened to Glenn Beck for years.  If he says something, he has the facts to back it up.  AND I for one AGREE that B.O. is a racist.

Of COURSE Obama's a Racist!

Look at the racist pigs he's wallowed with, like Wright.

He's all about race.

It's the racism!

Agreed, let's not get too far from the central controversy; I agree with Beck that the Bamster is a racist. He's nothing but a cleaned up and slightly more restrained version of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

"White folks greed runs a world in need."

Can you imagine a white person getting away with saying the opposite of that statement?

Rush is going to do a

Rush is going to do a segment with Beck Wednesday...anyway, that's what I heard Rush say today.

I love it!

I've Contacted These Companies

Color of Change is LYING.

Either most of them never advertised on Beck's show, anyway or they just don't advertise on talk shows as a rule.

Sure, some of them are lying too about their reasons, but as for this boycott: EPIC FAIL.

DefendGlenn.com to see for yourself.

Screw off, Commie

Screw off, Commie ba$tards.

I'm watching Beck in 25 minutes.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

I just watched Beck's

piece on Van Jones, this guy has to go!!!!  Tomorrow is too late, he has to go now.  Where in the hell were the Republicans, and democrats, when this crook and communist agitator was elevated to a position of power in this administration? 

That's the thing, UpNorth

These Czars of the Bamster are NOT SUBJECT to any kind of Congressional scrutiny, nor revue. 

He's a commie bastard if I ever saw one.  We need to start asking about this kind of stuff at the Town Hall meetings....even the one's that are "phoned in".

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

I agree,

Blonde.  This has to be brought up, just like health care.  This is pushing this country right down the slippery slope to communism.  As exemplified by Van Jones, the commisar of "Green Jobs".  And convicted felon, rioter and avowed "radical".

These "Czars" scare the hell out of me

They just about have dictitorial power.....Scary!!  Answer to no one but "King wee wee".  The "Chicago way" for all to see!!!!!

cash for clunkers

Van Jones friggin came up with that concept? And theres's a liberal Democrat on TV asking how he ever made it that high up? Democrats are saying C4C is a money scam?

 

You notice the first name for it..........

"hoopties for dollars".......talk about gang slang!!  With this FELON, I wonder how many others there are.  Not like we will be told, not that they will have a background check, congressional oversight....geeeezzz.  Never in my life did I think I would see such a corrupt adminisration.

ColorOfChange

The lead statement on the ColoOfChange web site, "

"ColorOfChange.org exists to strengthen Black America's political voice."

Hey I wonder what would happen if a web site's lead statement was, " exists to strengthen White America's political voice."

Glen Beck speaks the truth.

And I Should Weep For Glenn Beck Why?

As far as I'm concerned, the only things Glenn Beck is proficient in are his radio and TV skills and his golf swing. Other than that, he's just an ordinary man with an ordinary understanding of politics and government like everybody else. Only difference is he has the talent to say it. Why should I weep for him simply because he has talant? Christian and parents groups that boycott TV shows do so not because they hate talanted people. Their disagreements are with the liberal messages, and the rest of the time, the sex, violence and swear words. That's what the liberals do with Glenn Beck: boycott him because of his messages, and maybe because of some sexual innuendo due to the airing of his colonoscopy.

Big Fat Hairy Deal.

I don't care if every liberal in the country boycotts Beck's

I don't care if every liberal in the country boycotts Beck's advertisers... it's their right to do so.

It's the blackmail and race pandering I object to. 

Tuesday 25 Aug 2009-

I love it that liberals are boycotting Beck.  Rock on.

Now I finally know all, (well, a lot of), the companies I never knew supported liberal ideals and agendas, and that saved me a lot of research.  Now I know who I am going to boycott and never again feed my hard-earned monies.  The only problem is I have Progressive as my insurance...now I need to find a non-liberal-freakshow company to assist me there.  I've already stopped all viewing on NBC shows, to include all the upcoming football games. (grumble grumble grumble)

On an unrelated note, SoL, did you see the story on Brett Baier tonight about how England is banning certain words from daily speech as they have a negative connotation?  Words/expressions like:  'black sheep of the family' are to no longer be used as they make 'black' seem like a negative color, and they don't want that, dontcha know.  I wonder if the Brits will come knocking on your door because you used the word 'blackmail'.

you're right, sticks

Conservative government officials always get their lackeys to intimidate a news pundit. And Republican presidents always call people in the middle of a show to tell them to stop saying something.

And Christian groups always have the power to get major corporations to pull funding from a high rated news show.

It's totally the same.
