So, it seems that folks on the right are in a tizzy because advertisers are responding to the tens of thousands petition signers and emails requesting that they pull advertisements from Glenn Beck's show.
But wait! Not only is a Vile Liberal Plan to take away Glenn Beck's first amendment rights, it's a Green/Communist/Black/Hollywood/Criminal conspiracy by the Obama administration:
In fact, Obama’s Green Jobs Czar, the convicted felon and self-declared communist Van Jones, has direct ties to the organization that’s trying to shut down Glenn Beck. Jones’s group has hired a big Hollywood PR firm and they are pressuring Glenn’s advertisers to stop advertising. If not, they’ll lead a boycott.
(Though, if you follow below the fold, you'll see that it is actually a Soros conspiracy.)
From Redstate:
Barack Obama’s brownshirts are after Glenn Beck.
Yeah, brownshirts. We're the ones who go try to yell down town halls, threaten violence, bring guns to rallies, double the threats per day to the President, and practice lying and intimidation as a way of life.
You are making a mistake to boycott Glen Beck. Your call. But it will not do for you what you believe a boycott like this implies. It will harm the public’s perception of you, not Glen Beck’s.
Gotta love the alternate reality in which these folks live. You know, when those big capitalist companies pull support from a frothing at the mouth capitalist, somehow, I don't think that it is the corporations that are going to loose stature on this one.
Might be time to expose these connections to Soros, Buffet, etc. Fire up the NASCAR nation (where they sponsor) I don’t think most people know who’s behind these companies.
Oh, noez! Not... the NASCAR Nation! With all due respect to racing fans, honestly, is this the best they've got to throw back?
Geico is owned by Buffet, Progressive by soros buddy Lewis. They don’t care about a boycott. They are part of the problem. Lewis, Soros, Buffet and Johnson all are so-called "progressives" after control of this country.
Because the progressive movement is, after all, a top down orginization, with all reporting through the Chain of Command to Soros eventually. So that Soros can run death panels or something, I guess. And anyway, wasn't this supposed to be a Green/Communist/Black/Hollywood/Obama conspiracy? I guess it does good for tin foil sales.
And over at FreeRepublic:
How many signatures can we gather to protect the First Amendmentand, incidentally, to protest abuse of power by the official appointed Executive Department thugs?
So - they think that companies should be forced to advertise on (frothing at the mouth) opposition shows? Hmmm. Wouldn't that be some sort of government control of private companies?
Oh, well, at least we're back to the Green/Communist/Black/Hollywood/Obama conspiracy.
RATS hate free speech. Let Geico know you’ll boycott them if they don’t support Beck.
Beck can keep saying whatever he wants. But when he goes to the point of inciting riots, encouraging people to commit crimes and engage in sedition, and preaching treason and armed rebellion, we have a right to do something about him. Of course, if this was the Bush era, he'd get a visit from HLS. But instead, because we're a bit more civilized, we get folks to stop paying him to spew his bile.
I also adore Glenn Beck - I will sign that petition stating that whom ever pulls ads from his show, I will personally place on my do not buy list!
I’m pretty powerful too - Companies that end up on my do not buy list end up going out of business. Gee, wonder why? I must have a big mouth. hahaha
Somebody's got an ego problem. They're going to single handedly put SC Johnson and Geico out of business? Wow. Just... wow.
