Moore death threat: appalling response fr. Beck sponsor

Here is a reponse I got from OTB Games, a proud sponsor of Glenn Beck. Beck is the one who discussed wanting to kill Michael Moore on his radio show.  This is the original diary about the incident.  

I had written to this company and all other sponsors of the show yesterday after a diary directed me to the contacts.  

This guy actually excuses Beck's words simply because he knows Beck won't actually go out and do the killing himself.  Any excuse to keep supporting righty crap on the radio and to dismiss us humorless, disingenuous liberals of course.    

The response:
---------------

Thomas

Thank you for your feedback..........I always love to hear from our
fans!

Glen Beck's comments were meant to be funny.........And, I am appalled
that MEDIA MATTERS FOR AMERICA was so irresponsible as to take his
comedic routine out of context. I am sure that if you actually heard
the
show you would agree that this was a complete distortion of the actual
show.

The bottom line is this: Glenn Beck would never seriously consider
murdering Michael Moore.........I think you know that as well as
I..........If you think he was serious, then I suspect you are not even
a listener of his show.

We remain firmly behind Glenn Beck............keep smiling my
friend.........I am sure Michael Moore is safe and sound tonight.

All the best........

Mark

So now you know the company and all of the games they make, just in case you were ever going to buy any.  Apparently it's not just any old ad to them; they actually support hate radio and think Media Matters is the irresponsible one for drawing people's attention to Beck's comments.  Do they publish any Orwell word games?

I really didn't expect defense of Beck's actual words from anyone I wrote to about this.  I heard MM already gets death threats every day.  Do people really need any more encouragement even if it is "officially" in the form of joking?  Would a liberal be allowed to joke like this on the air?  (We're hardly even allowed on the air except on our own networks, last I knew.)  I wonder if this guy likes Coulter too.

It's amazing what people will openly defend... even on their company emails!
