I’ve started watching his show more often because of this boycott. We have to be able to get more than 150k people to support Glenn.

Amazing. These corporations are scared of the left. These advertisers should know how much more hateful MSNBC is if they do not already. The media makes a career of calling people racist and they don’t lose advertisrs.

Don’t doubt for a moment that this was orchestrated by leftist/communist groups (ACORN, Moveon, etc.). This is what they live for, to take marching orders from the Commie(organizer) in Chief.

Twenty companies have pulled their ads from Beck’s show in just the last two weeks.

Looks like a case of monkeys sees monkeys do.

Broadcasters shouldn’t abuse the privilege they enjoy by spewing dangerous and racially charged hate language over the air.

Veiled threat? Last time I checked, free speech was a God-given right, not a privilege.

No matter their political affiliation, hate language doesn’t belong in our national dialogue.

That they can say this with a straight face amazes me. What "typical white person"?

He's right. Just think how it would have been if they'd treated Bush this way for eight plus years.

More companies that I will stop doing business with then.

This is really pathetic of the left. Perhaps we need to do a little payback. It’s time to start targeting the left winged media’s advertisers.

Honestly, I’ve never been in any of those stores. So I imagine I’ve already been boycotting them for 50 years.

20 companies? Do that many entities have actually advertised during the Glen Beck show?

And “Lawyers.com” pulled their ads? Who are these guys?

Leftists hate anything that’s convenient. Remember, hatred is a foundation for a socialist government; look at history.

You mean, for example, if some idiot had gotten on national television and said that George Bush didn't care about black people? That would never, ever happen. The left is too tolerant and loving for that.
