SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- A California non-profit is urging sponsors to pull their ads from Fox News Channel, because of "a would-be assassin inspired by" Fox personality Glenn Beck.
The Tides Foundation, which says it promotes human rights, justice, and a healthy, sustainable environment, has come in for frequent criticism on Beck's show. A suspect in a July 28 shootout with police, Byron Williams, told police in an affidavit he had intended to go to the Tides Foundation's office in San Francisco and kill founder and Chief Executive Officer Drummond Pike.

So the company, the family, the stockholders should all be punished!!!!!!!!! Because she had the bad taste to marry Kerry after inheriting a Heinz family members assets, and no amount of ketchup will make that fetid dog go down!!!!!
Get a grip.
Should Democrats have boycotted Heinz when there was a Republican Senator by that name, who at that time controlled his own assets?
Re: ““Boycott Ketchup! (Specifically Heinz).”
“Sheesh! People say that all the time on FR.
Terresa Heinz Kerry has NOTHING to do with Heinz Company or ketchup. It belonged to her late husband, the one who was a Republican Senator, and the company was sold eons ago.”
********************
Terraaaazzzzzzaa may have nothing to do with the ketchup, but in a big taste test some time back Heinz did NOT win — The winner was...............ta da.......... Hunt’s !!!
soros doesn’t like being exposed. Beck is doing a great job showing how tides is trying to manipulate the public. Once exposed as a soros initiative it becomes tainted and the impact falls apart.
RE: “I just never understood rich Marxists. Why don’t they just give their money away and leave the rest of us alone?”

They just can’t stop themselves from butting in for the good of everyone (they think).
Here’s a little story from my neighborhood: Far leftist, ‘progressive’ (she says) neighbor got into conversation with me and another neighbor (garden variety Democrat) about our gardening service.
It’s a crew of two guys and owner of business (does not usually pitch in with the work) is a nice ordinary guy who just wants to make ends meet. His employees have been with him for ages and what we long term customers get for our very reasonable monthly fee is typical “mow, edge, cleanup.”
Anything else we want done is on us; not included in price, and we must arrange to have the guys come on the weekend.
The annoying, intrusive ‘progressive’ neighbor opined to me and the other customer that she told this small business owner to charge everyone MORE every month because he charged too little!
Huh??? How is this HER business? She always tries to tell everyone what to do, but this? I was speechless but the other neighbor, garden variety Dem and known to be quite thrifty, said: “If you think you are not paying enough, feel free to add more onto your monthly check, but don’t speak for the rest of the customers.” I managed to shake my head in agreement — loved it —
FWIW, the business owner has NOT to date charged us a higher fee, thank goodness. But this was just one tiny example of the way these leftists operate — they want to do our thinking for us, and insinuate themselves into every aspect of our lives.
The obnoxious one can’t stand me anyway because I have the flag and a Don’t Tread on Me sticker on my car, which she has to look at every time she pulls out of her driveway.

******************
Right! I KNEW I’d heard about a Soros connection to Tides — thanks for the confirmation.
RE: “Beck beats on The Tides Foundation all the time as well as a lot of lefty outfits that would never be exposed if not for his show. I am surprised they have not assassinated him!”

From what I’ve read, Beck uses a top-notch security service...
“I am seriously “lecturing” you that the connection between the ketchup and Teresa is tenuous at best”
Listen allmen - $600 million of dividend paying stock is no ‘tenuous at best’ scenario. Sorry if that isn’t obvious to you. What in the world does the fact that Heinz was a Republican Senator have to do with how Teresa is now giving hundreds of million of $$ to leftist causes? Your loyalty is touching.
“So the company, the family, the stockholders should all be punished!!!!!!!!!”
So the truth should be pointed out. You OK with that?
“Get a grip.”
Oh I see, you just wrote a statement screaming at me with 9 exclamation points, and you’re telling me to ‘get a grip.’ Nice.
“Should Democrats have boycotted Heinz when there was a Republican Senator by that name, who at that time controlled his own assets?”
If they wanted to, they should have. If Heinz is proud of Teresa and her lefty causes they should ‘man up’ and know that some us won’t be using their products. If, quite possibly, they don’t care, and especially if they do, they should think about buying out the foundations.
And I don’t have to use Heinz ketchup and you certainly can if you wish, because sir, it’s a FREE COUNTRY (at least for a little while longer.) I would suggest also that you educate yourself about how your dollars can support things like leftist causes, abortion, etc.
From the Heinz Co. standpoint, this may just be an unfortunate circumstance. There are, I’m sure, more egregious cases of corporate malfeasance that contribute directly to Planned Parenthood, abortions, anti-marriage/family politicians and causes. This is the kind of work that American Family Association has been bringing to light for decades.
Get a grip - on that ketchup bottle allmen and pour yourself some Hunt’s ketchup with those fries now...;)
“I’d heard about a Soros connection to Tides”
Soros and Teresa Heinz Ketchup, er Kerry...;)
Liberals are the National Socialist of our age.
“Once exposed as a soros initiative it becomes tainted and the impact falls apart.”
Soros thought he could fly under the radar spreading his billions to the left, forever. Such is not the case, thankfully to people like Glenn Beck, Andrew Brietbart, et al.
Trust fund babies that never worked a day in their lives, and want to destroy the system that enabled their families to create that wealth.
It makes sense, really - the fewer number of people that can create that kind of wealth in the future means the more power they have.
I just don’t get people who obviously have benefitted from a free market economy to acquire their wealth—but then feel so guilty about it, they have to raise my taxes so they can feel better. That TICKS ME OFF!
Saw you are in CA. North or SoCal?
Beck needs to!
I hope so.

Yeah, Glenn. Stop exposing stuff. You’re inciting assassinations with your inflammatory exposing things and doing things. And the Beatles turned Charles Manson into a homicidal maniac with a following of mindless, homicidal ditzes. If everyone would just shut up, people would stop being crazy.
LOL!!
Hunt’s Ketchup is my choice, too. Have two back-up bottles in the pantry for my nephew, aka ‘The Hotdog Kid’, who won’t eat hotdogs with it.
Sheesh! I should say, “he won’t eat hotdogs without it [Hunt’s Ketchup]”.

Meanwhile this liberal group continues to push a Green agenda despite the Discovery Channel shooter and an Islamic agenda despite all the acts of violence done in the name of Islam.
