List of Advertisers Boycotting Glenn Beck Grows

With each broadcast devoted to calling Democrats and liberals Nazis or racists, Glenn Beck seems to alienate himself further from commercial advertisers. A total of about 46 businesses have now removed spots from “The Glenn Beck Show,” Fox News Channel’s window into the heart of fascist America.
Advertisers distancing themselves from Beck include Applebee’s, Bank of America, Bell & Howell, DirecTV, General Mills, Kraft, Regions Financial Corporation, SAM (Store and Move), Travelers Insurance and Vonage, per to the group’s press release. Travelers Insurance, Bell & Howell and DirecTV were already on a “do not air” list for the show, though their ads appeared during the show anyway, per the release, according to BrandWeek.
Color of Change, the civic group spear-heading the advertising boycott of Beck’s show, which some see as the propaganda tool of a new racist, Ku Klutz Klan (KKK) and/or hate group movement, reported that 36 advertisers were pulling ads, including Clorox, Procter & Gamble and AT&T. James Rucker, a co-founder and executive director, told Brandweek that the group is closely monitoring which advertisers will stick with the Fox News after their contracts are up.
Among the first advertisers saying they would stop airing ads, Geico, LexisNexis’ Lawyers.com, Progressive Insurance and SC Johnson pulled theirs soon after Beck’s controversial broadcast on July 28 in which he called the president a “racist.”
The boycott hasn’t stopped viewers from tuning in to watch Beck brand himself as the new face of the Klan.
Beck pulled in about 3 million viewers Wednesday, August 26, 2009, according to TV by the Numbers.

THANKS FOR THE LIST OF ADVERTISERS.
I AM GOING TO BOYCOTT EVERYONE OF THEM.
BY PULLING THEIR ADVERTISING THEY ARE SAYING TO ME THAT THEY DONT CARE THAT OBAMA HAS A SELF PROCLAIMED COMMUNIST AS HIS GREEN CZAR.
I EMAILED LOWES ALREADY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT O’REILY AND GLEN BECK DONT MEET THEIR ADVERTISING GUIDELINES.
I ASKED THEM WHO ON CNN DO THEY NOT ADVERTISE WITH AND I GOT NO ANSWER.
DOUBLE STANDARD.
PLEASE KEEP TELLING WHO IS NOT ADVERTISING.
I WILL BLACKLIST EVERY ADVERTISER THAT PULLS OFF OF THE BECK SHOW.
WHO WANTS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A BUNCH OF RACIST NAZI LOVING RIGHT WING NUT BAG LUNATICS???
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” – Winston Churchill
Beck advocates fascism! “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Abraham Lincoln
VAN JONES IS A COMMUNIST AND A BLACK PANTHER.
VAN JONES SAID IT HIMSELF.
OBAMA HAS PUT A COMMUNIST/BLACK PANTHER INTO OFFICE.
FIRST THEY GET SAVAGE BANNED FROM BRITAN NOW ITS ON TO THE NEXT CONSERVATIVE RADIO TARGET.
ONE AT A TIME THEY WILL TAKE THEM DOWN.
THE MEDIA IS ATTACKING GLENN FOR STATING THE TRUTH.
IS THIS DEMOCRACY??
Beck is paranoid and delusional. Unfortuantely there are people out there who believe what he says. and that is the real danger. There is a related post at http://iamsoannoyed.com/?page_id=588
xinunus – I am following your lead on this. And carlyt? You are blind and ignorant and I hope to hell no one is listening to you. If the health care bill proposed under Nixon was similar to this one, then it was WISELY rejected then as it SHOULD BE NOW! No party is exempt from corruption and greed… seems that this has taken over like a cancer in our governement, where’s that wonderful government health care plan they all have on this issue? In or out, 2010. I don’t care what you call yourself, if you are honest and subscribe to maintaining our Republic for which all the REST of us stand, your “IN” by my account.
Glenn Beck is the ONLY one out there pulling back the curtain on all the lies of our governement. Anyone that can’t see that must be paid for.
