Here is the bed bug letter I received in answer to my comment about Omaha Steaks withdrawing its commercial support from the Glenn Beck Program. I intend to return all their ads in the return address envelopes and make them pay the postage for them too.

I guess they should not be advertising on TV, radio, newspapers and magazines then. They all have views and stuff expressed.

I can remember when Omaha Steaks was THE outfit for buying good steaks. I had a friend send me a selection of steaks from them and I can’t even begin to tell you how disappointed I was. To their credit, when I complained about the quality, they resent the order at no charge, even though I did not ask them to do so. However, the second order was no better.

When they first decided to advertise on the Glen Beck program, were they under the impression that it was a cooking show? Did nobody at Omaha Steaks research Beck's show before they decided to spend big bucks advertising there?

This whole thing smells to high heaven...........

My post office says all I have to do with unwanted mail is mark it “REFUSED” and stick it back in the mailbox.

Think I’ll get a rubber stamp.

Buying steaks through the mail is ridiculous, imo.

I can see FedExing exotic saltwater seafood to Nebraska, but there’s few places in the USA that cattle aren’t happy to give their lives for local consumption...

Omaha Steak is too expensive.

Thanks for the info. I just sent them an email and asked to be removed from their mailing list.

Dear Omaha Steaks Flunky

Seems your pulling your advertising from Glen Beck’s program is a political endorsement of those who want him silenced.

Omahole Steaks is Dixie-Chicking themselves.

There are places to get better, less costly steak. And many don’t involve shipping. Try shopping local.

The left, especially Van Jones’s Obama-For-America related orgs, Morons.Borg, and Daily Kos, have had a continuing campaign against Beck’s advertisers.

He presents inconvenient facts about the Democrats, AND THAT MUST NOT BE ALLOWED.

Dissent is ONLY patriotic if it’s against a Republican.

There needs to be a picture of the liberal dumbasses at Omaha Steaks shooting themselves in the foot. Do they think the welfare Democrat public are the ones ordering their pricey steaks and gifts? If they do, they are greatly mistaken.

OK, and we believe that advertizing on America’s left-wing mainstream media constitutes an endorsement of those political views. We don’t buy products from entities that express left-wing views.

Dear Omaha Steaks,

Good move by your Board of Directors and/or Marketing Department. Have fun advertising to liberal vegans/vegetarians.

Signed, Meat Eater who won't ever buy from you again

Well then Julie why did you start advertising on Glenn Beck in the first place? Not buying your answer.

Omaha Steak makes an awful product. I highly recommend Allen Brothers in Chicago.

What are Beck’s political views? Support of the Constitution, freedom for the individual, and capitalism. Omaha Steaks does not support the very system that allows it to make money? “Shop at Omaha Steaks! We support Socialism!” Not much of a slogan.

Not a big fan of Mr. Beck, but I will certainly from now on resist any temptation to purchase anything from Omaha Steaks. And as a professional aside, I have to wonder whether the marketing geniuses in their company think they will gain any business in pissing off conservatives, who I expect are more likely to be interested in and possess the means to purchase “premium” cuts of beef.
