Dumping Glenn Beck

Whoopee! Big advertisers, such as Procter & Gamble, Sprint, SC Johnson, Radio Shack, Progressive Insurance, GEICO, Men's Wearhouse and even Wal-Mart have dumped Glenn Beck. (Much of this success is due to campaigning by Color Of Change.)

Beck has been with the Fox propaganda machine for eight months. Only Bill O'Reilly (and sometimes Sean Hannity) has more viewers than Beck, who recently was averaging 2.4 million viewers a day.

The vileness of Glenn Beck goes way back before his arrival at Fox. A couple of examples::

In 2003: "Every night I get down on my knees and pray that Dennis Kucinich will burst into flames."

In 2005: "I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong?"

And he just keeps spewing out the poison:

Last July 28, appearing on "Fox and Friends," the ever racist-mouthed Beck said, "The President has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.. I don't know what it is".

Let's hope that every last advertiser walks away from this vicious nut case.
