War erupts over Glenn Beck TV show: Fans fight back

Glenn Beck fans are fighting back against a campaign led by a black activist organization prompting major advertisers to withdraw from Beck's top-rated Fox News Channel program.

....

Now a husband and wife team of Beck fans has launched a website – DefendGlenn.com – that lists the contact information for advertisers for Beck's and other Fox News programs and provides users with information and suggestions to contact those companies to urge their continued sponsorship. The site also asks users to contact Beck's current patrons to thank them for their loyalty to the Fox News star's program.

"Our goal is to hit advertisers hard with response from Beck fans with real purchasing power, unlike the instigators of this phony Astroturf boycott," the founder of DefendGlenn told WND.

"At some point they will realize they've been punked by a bunch of paid activists, college students and slacker bloggers in their parents' basements who don't purchase their products anyway," said the founder, who asked that his name be withheld.

They will lose by the very nature of being political.

Start with all products SC Johnston, Progressive Insurance, GEICO Insurance and Sargento Cheese. To alienate yourself to a 47% base is stupid. Make em’ pay.

If Tweets from the DefendGlenn folks are accurate, Obama's goons will cost these companies a lot of customers.

If you search engine (Bing or Google) advertisers dropping Glenn Beck, you'll note democrats are having a field day in their attempt to get Beck unemployed. Here's the news for them - these advertisers who've quit Beck sponsorship have just bit off a bit more than they counted on. it's time to fight back with our hard earned dollars spent elsewhere and a reckoning these companies deserve for being stooges, bowing to the feet of radical liberals.

Another war of Jenkins' Ear

I did a search engine check of "political contributions" for each company and found (AMAZINGLY) most had democrat donations. What a surprise (sarc).

It’s unbelievable that it’s come to this... A conservative show is boycotted for it’s content.

Geez... how about Air America in general - full of hate and anti-American rhetoric. I guess that is not enough to generate hatred...from the left. If this even generates a flake of opposition from them - then they are far too left to worry about...so ignore the flamethrowers and do your thing...

“The days of conservatives bending over and letting the Left run roughshod are over. These Tea Parties and Town Halls are our Flight 93 moment.”

I do believe you are correct.

I printed out the Proctor & Gamble list that Morgana freeper posted on Friday and am determined to NOT BUY anything on that list ever... there are other choices.

I also e-mailed that Italian frozen food place, Sargento and Geiko. How dare they think that Americans will not care if they commit treason by caving to the libs?

Looks like the site has been hacked.

At the very least they need moderators to delete the obvious liberal scumbag's posts. You can always tell theirs by the lack of any words greater than one syllable.

Looks like they fixed it. The site guy emailed me (fast!) and said someone posted gay pornography link and so he took it down so kids would not see. F-ing libtards! Sort of proves his quote that these are college kids sending complaint letters to the advertisers.

Amen! A full list of products displayed at work should make an effect. Toothpaste has no business in my beliefs.

The Wall Street Journal is one of the companies that is pulling ads. The funny thing: Fox owns the WSJ. Isn’t that weird?

Legal question: Since Van Jones’ outfit started this boycott, is it illegal, or a violation of any ethics laws for a government official to petition and/or coerce private companies to drop advertising sponsorships?

With Eric Holder as AG and our congress run by Reid and Pelosi, don't you think this question is rather moot?

Actually the question was posted by montag13 in post #5, but I don't mind throwing my two cents worth!!!

I agree, the question is rather moot since nearly everything that AG Holder & his partisan thugs do, is either in violation of the law or skirting it ever so closely. However I always like to see questions raised or asked that we already know the answer to, just to embarrass 0bozo & his commie pig thugs.

That's why I always refer to 0bozo & this thugs (including AG Holder) as socialist-fascist-commie pigs, since they are completely absent of any moral or ethical values whatsoever. They are commie pigs, plain & simple.
