This may help explain why President Barack Obama is so -- as the producer for FOX News' O'Reilly Factor puts it -- "thin-skinned'' about FOX News.
FOX's Glenn Beck used his popular program today to "attack the background of Van Jones, a White House environmental advisor who co-founded an African American political advocacy group that has organized an advertising boycott of his program,'' as the L.A. Times' Matea Gold notes in Show Tracker.
This is the Beck who, one morning on FOX & Friends, accused Obama of "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."
In protest, the group, "Color of Change,'' has promoted an advertising boycott and says it has secured commitments from 36 companies pledging not to advertise on Beck's afternoon show, with a growing audience of more than 2 million viewers.
Beck "spent a large share of his program suggesting that Jones, who co-founded Color of Change in 2005, is a radical,'' Gold writes. "During a six-minute biographical profile, set to ominous music, Beck said Jones was twice arrested for political protests and has described himself as a "rowdy black nationalist.'''
"Why is it that such a committed revolutionary has made it so high into the Obama administration as one of his chief advisers?" Beck asked.
Jones serves as a special advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. James Rucker, executive director of Color of Change, says Jones has not been active with the group ifor nearly two years and Beck is "trying to change the subject... The issue is his baseless fear mongering."
Although the ad boycott has generated publicity, FOX News says it has not hurt the network;s revenue or Beck's audience. "The advertisers referenced have all moved their spots from Beck to other programs on the network so there has been no revenue lost," a spokeswoman said.
Since his show made its debut i January, Beck has attracted a sizable following with his crticisim for the Obama administration. This month, his viewership has averaged 2.25 million, with ratings up from July, when it averaged 2.05 million viewers.
"This president, I think, 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,'' Beck said on FOX & Friends last month "I'm not saying that he doesn't like white people. I'm saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist.''
"The controversy has triggered a broader discussion about the risks to advertisers of running commercials amid the incendiary rhetoric of cable talk shows,'' Gold notes.
Clorox announced last week that it was making a clean sweep of its ads from all political talk shows. ""We do not want to be associated with inflammatory speech used by either liberal or conservative talk show host," the company said in a statement. "After a comprehensive review of political talks shows across the spectrum, at this time we have made a decision not to advertise on them.''
As for the vacationing White House, there appeared to be no word forthcoming on Beck's newest assault, but a spokesman professed that he wasn't sure what O'Reilly's producer was talking about on that "thin-skinned'' question.

Comments
In Mark Silva's Media Matters-inspired attack on Glenn Beck, it's interesting that he really can't refute Beck's charge against Van Jones. Jones has been arrested and is a radical, an extreme radical, in fact.
Mark, I wonder, how many Swamp items are generated via the White House, Media Matters, DailyKook or moveon.org? Surely, you do not watch Beck, so this item had to have originated somewhere.

UPS drops ALL Fox advertising, Not Just Glenn Beck!!
Rich Hallabran, spokesman for UPS Stores, said today he has not only temporarily halted buying ads on the Glenn Beck Show but also on the Fox News Channel altogether as reported by AP Television writer David Bauder

Congratulations to everyone for a boycott that has successfully driven 33 companies away from the odious and racist rantings of Glenn Beck! Beck is returning from vacation to even fewer advertisers than when he left!

As a moderate/liberal ; I have always respected an informed opposing point of view. But the likes of Beck,Limbaugh, & Coulter et al. , offer nothing that's rational or even in the same galaxy as knowlegde.

I watched Glenn Beck tonight and didn't see any shortage of big name advertisers. It also appears the list of 33 appears to be closer to 11, maybe even just 10 advertisers that have "walked" and most of them "walked" from all advertising, even on MSNBC.
Posted by: mark | August 25, 2009 12:15 AM
The claim by Fox News that they have not lost revenue is BS.
.
Even if advertisers shifted ads to other time periods, they would not be paying the same amount for Greta Van Susteran or Trace Gallagher as they would for the higher-rated Beck. Plus, Beck's remaining advertisers (Extenze, Egg Genie, etc.)...

That's not even the worst Beck has said about Jones. A few weeks ago Beck did a special weekend roundtable show discussing health care reform, and he said that Jones wants to use forced sterilizations to keep the human population low so that it is more environmentally friendly! That's a special kind of crazy right there.

Posted by: hardworkingamerican | August 25, 2009 8:48 AM
This article is so slanted. First off everything beck said was a quote directly from Jones. Secondly Beck has been talking about who Jones is for at least a month or more, long before Color of Change started their boycott. So let's not make it look like Beck did this special because of what Color of Change has done. If anything the opposite is true they just used the "racist" comment to get it going.

Stop watching television. It's all emotion over intellect and dumbed down enough so you'll feel smart buying the crap they advertise between tirades.
Posted by: Jim A in Chicago | August 25, 2009 8:51 AM
If anyone would bother to look beyond all the theatrics of Glen Becks show and really LISTEN to what is being said, it seems to me he is the only one, in any form of media, really asking the tough questions and probing the backgrounds of the people around Obama and his administration; those responsible for trying to impose policies on us that the people clearly don't want. He is the only one exposing the unseemly information regarding these people and organizations and giving people useful ideas for making their voices heard. For my part, I will boycott the products of the advertisers who pulled their ads from Becks show! I will also boycott the news programs that continue to slant their coverage to favor the presidents policy ideas and do not provide an accurate picture of what middle class Americans really think of what is going on.
Posted by: pts | August 25, 2009 8:53 AM
I'll keep it real simple in consideration of who the audience is:
Beck - respect the Constitution, don't bankrupt the country, read the bills before you vote - BAD.
Jones - brown shirt, convict, communist, con-man - GOOD.
Only in liberal la la land. Gee I don't know why newspapers like the Trib are disappearing.

Posted by: DON SURBER | August 25, 2009 8:55 AM
If any of you actually watched the show he spends most of his time discussing the incredible amount of debt that Obama and Bush have pushed this country. Apparently you cannot be critical of the President or your a racist, hate monger, etc unless your a liberal or on MSNBC.
You can find all the whining, liberal idelogy you want on that network, yet there are not conservative groups starting boycotts. If you cant win the conversation try to have it stopped, typical alinksy liberal methodology.

I'm in the process of organizing a boycott of the companies that have pulled their advertising from Glenn Beck. I've already switched all my company's shipping away from UPS, and I'm confident I can get a lot of people to change their buying habits over this issue. The outrage ought to be that the White House is trying to silence a critc. What is it about the first amendment and the oath Obama took to uphold the Constitution that he doesn't uinderstand?

It always astounds me that the Left can dish it out but when someone dishes it back those people are called racists, crazies, war mongers, haters and a plethora of other mean spirited names. Glen Beck has the same rights of free speech Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have today in the USA. I am not sure about tomorrow under this administration that is headed toward Socialism, Censorship and Unbridled Spending which will eventually require Unbridled Taxation.
If you don’t like GB or FN don’t watch it. If you want to use the products or services of those that advertise on GB do so. If not, do not. Today we still have a free market system. I am not so sure about that tomorrow either.
If you like the idea that Your president hires anyone he wants to run Federal Agencies without any authority or rules or vetting vote for him again. I will not. If you like the idea that your President hides behind his Czars and his lawyers and won’t give anybody answers to anything while he pontificates for CHANGE and HOPE vote for him again. I will not.
Good luck to these United States of America. May there be something left of it to save at the next elections. I will vote for anyone who promises to REVERSE, RETRACT or CHANGE the bills passed so far this year in this Congress.

Beck speaks the truth. That's why he is so despised by communists...I mean democrats. This president is the most radical, left wing, Maxist nut job that this country has ever elected to ANY office, much less the highest office in the land. 2010 and 2012 can't come soon enough. I just hope I still recognize my country when we finally give this abortion of a president the boot.

I am definitely on the liberal side of the fence and I can certainly say that programs like Beck's make me upset. But I think that programs on MSNBC (Maddow, Olberman, etc.) are equally "bad." I may agree with their opinion but I find that I, even as a liberal, do not enjoy watching either Fox News or MSNBC any longer. These are NOT news stations. I think that either one calling themselves a news station is just wrong. Just because I am liberal does not mean I do not want to hear the "other side" and just because I am liberal does not mean I am liberal about ALL topics. I want to hear all points of views in a sound manner and then make a decision. I pretty much only watch CNN because, while not perfect, I think they have the most programming with varied opinions.
Posted by: Kent | August 25, 2009 8:57 AM
Color of Change reports of so many sponsors that have pulled their ads, is not true.
Maybe a few have, but those companies, two can play the game.
Beck has the courage to speak his mind, something our Forefathers fought for...as for the bullies, they need to understand that too!

It is refreshing to finally see someone expose the current administration and the people in it for what they really are.
This man is a self-admitted Communist, has done jail time, and admits that he is a radical.
We don't need him or his kind in our government.
Wake up people, before it is too late.

So you all don't mind an admitted Communist as the Green Czar. So you all don't mind the 32 + czars(more than Russia ever had) that don't have to go in front of congress to be vetted?
Where is the transparency that was promised?
I disagree with a president trying to make our beautiful country socialist(at Best).

Typical for those on the left. The only speech that should be heard is from those the left agrees with. I have yet to see anyone on the left offer any information that Beck's reporting is not true, Fox news is crushing all others because they are offering a differnt view from the state run media

Glen Beck is full of hatred? Have you listened to him? Glen Beck doesn't hate anyone except possibly the people in the white house who are trying to destroy this country as we know it. Meaning they want to take away our freedoms by promising to give us everything we want/need without any effort on our part. The dirty secret is that they first have to take everything we have before they can give it back since government doesn't create wealth. I don't know if Obama hates white people but if the term "racist" refers to someone that is especially conscious of their own race and the race of others than I don't know how you could make the case that Obama is not racist.
Posted by: joe | August 25, 2009 9:04 AM
East Bay Express Nov 25 2005 Jones "I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary." In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. "I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist." How is reporting someones own words an attack? At least Beck is asking questions instead of handing out a free pass like many others.
Posted by: mike B | August 25, 2009 9:04 AM
Let the left yell, scream and slobber on themselves and in the meantime Beck will continue exposing Obama's gaggle of leftists/Marxists and communists. Give them hell Glenn.

OK, OK ... let's get back to the basis for the story. Did Beck say anything that wasn't true about Van Jones? If not, then where's the controversy? Shouldn't the spotlight be instead on Van Jones? People are not seeing the forest through the trees.

I often watch the Glenn Beck show. Firstable, he is neither Republican or Democrat, nor a "right wing nut" He mostly speaks out on the facts. He criticized Bush plenty. The problem is that there are so many of you who are still blinded by an obsession with Obama that you simply ignore to see and accept any faults with this administration. And there are plenty of faults! Polls speak for themselves. That's hope!
Posted by: Joe | August 25, 2009 9:08 AM

When are these idiots like Beck going to learn that we don't want to hear whatever they want to say? Save free speech for people who deserve it - like liberals. They're the only ones who are smart enough to know what's best for us. Everyone else needs to shut up - or someone needs to make them shut up! Silence Beck & his like - it's the AMERICAN thing to do!

I will support Glenn Beck's sponsers even more. Keith Overbite can say anything he wants and the liberal media doesn't care. Maybe because no one watches the idiot. Liberals want Beck and conservative radio and media gone. Communists! Where's freedom of speech?
Posted by: Al | August 25, 2009 9:09 AM
Considering the fact that you left out the major points of Glenn's program, I can only assume you don't watch him you are just a meme.
Van Jones is a freaking communist. Perhaps you don't understand the connections.
This president presented himself as race nutral. That's not the case at all. He has played the race card from day one, even throwing his white grandmother under the bus for political gain.
The silent majority is silent no more.

Beck asks a valid question or two about the appointment of a self-described communist with a jail record to a high level position as an adviser to the President. Did the FBI clear Van Jones for a high level appointment, or was that decision circumvented by order of the White House? How much are taxpayers paying Van Jones and his staff?
Posted by: Clay Tanner II | August 25, 2009 9:11 AM
I plan not to buy from the 36 companies who will not advertise on Glenn Beck & I'm sure millions of other conservatives will do the same. Beck is one of the few voices acting as a watchdog which is a duty of the press. Most of the press are acting like lap-dogs. Van Jones admits to being a radical anti-white communist former criminal.

I for one will never do business again with the companies that have boycotted Glenn Beck. He has every right to say what he did. This is still a free country and Obama is a racist. For Obama to attend a "church" where the preacher spoke such hateful vitriol is appalling. He is not only racist, he just plain hates America. Nice! Obama says a cop acted “stupidly” before even knowing any details of the incident. Obama is just a complete idiot. Bush was called a Nazi, murder, etc and I don’t see where companies boycotted these shows. This is purely intimidation and trying to silence those that do not agree with this administration and the thugs that are in charge. THAT is what’s frightening. Obama should be no where near the White House. He is a liar and a thug. Go Glenn Beck and you will only have MORE viewers after this week. Expose, Expose, Expose because no one else has the guts to do it.

Sprint and AT&T, who Color of Change list on their website as advertisers who abandoned the Beck show, have stated that they both never advertised during Beck. Therefore, Color of Change have lied here. Get your facts straight or else the_logician is going to call you out.
Also, Beck called out Van Jones on his show once before (and on his radio programme) way before the "Obama dislikes white culture" comment. For this article to make it seem like Beck is going after Van Jones only now that this boycott campaign is occurring is disingenuous. The author of this article really needs to lay-out the timeline properly and correctly.
Furthermore, the name "Color of Change"? Doesn't even the name of the organization denote a concentration on ones color?

If you are a person of Color you can rip the white man all day long...but if your white and you dare ask a question about King Obama you should keep your mouth shut? Is that right? Why don't you clowns look up the history on Old Van and you will see what this guy has stood for over the years.

I don't hate Obama becuase he is black, I hate him because he is Progressive Liberal (that's code for Commie Bastard). The county is racist because they voted for a man becuase of his color not his qualifications.

The bottom line here is that Beck's reporting on Van Jones is accurate and to the point. I have combed over everything that Beck has stated concerning Jones, and NONE of it is false. Opponents of Beck can paint him any way they want, and distract attention away from the truth by making hateful accusations, but in the end, Beck is honest, and his ratings are through the roof !!!
Posted by: Taxpayer550 | August 25, 2009 9:15 AM
Glenn Beck's "Obama is a racist" comments were in reference to his hasty and false accusation of the police in the Prof. Gates incident as "stupid". While the language was inflammatory and should have been much more measured, is anyone on this forum disputing the facts--the opinions--but the facts that Beck presents? I think Olbermann is a sniveling lib who lies often and hates more, but sometimes he tells the truth. I would argue that Beck tells the truth much more frequently. Racism is a 2-way street; even whites can be victims and blacks can be perpetrators of it. Beck isn't changing the subject, Color of Change is. Answer the questions about Green Jobs Czar Van Jones!

Why is it that Mr. Beck is the only one reporting the news? Where are the "real" reporters? Why arent they asking questions such as: Who are the czars? How are they paid? How much are they paid? Where is the money coming from? Where do they get their authority? What are their roles in relationship to Obama? What are their backgrounds? Why are convicts serving at the highest levels? How many of these are tax cheats like Mr. Geitner?
And is it right to boycott a concerned American who is asking tough questions? What are you afraid of? The Truth.

So It's okay for an American with 1/8 or more African in him to call a Non African a racist but it's not the other way around. I've been called a racist because I disagreed with someone's idea. I still say my Hero Colin Powell was Threatened someone would target Althea if he didn't come out in support of Barrak Hussein Obama.

I believe you Libs are missing the point here.Van Jones is a radical with close ties to our President.This is not about advertising it's about exposing the truth.Do you realize that we have over thirty czars that answer to no one except OBAMA.Now imagine George Bush doing the same thing,what would you say then?Thank God for Glenn Beck!Now go drink your kool aid and watch Olberman on msnbc!!!!!

Beck is right on. And any company that would turn away from 2MM viewers, well they probably don't need the the money anyway. Besides there is somewhere around 10MM companies operating in the US, a couple of dozen are irrevelent. BHO is a racist and has been since the early days at that racist church in Chicago. He showed his true color when he jumped all over the police officer in Cambridge and immediately went to the defense of the black, radical, racist professor. No doubt about it Obama is a racist. Not only is he the first black president but he is the first racist president.

To all you numbskulls out there... Beck isn't a Republican - far from it. He screams at them just as much as he does the Democrats.
He's putting info out there to show the American people who's running America. Now, if you want to stick your head in the sand, that's one thing; however, if you want to know what's going on... watch it!
If you don't watch it, you can't complain!

Posted by: Oh Lawdy Me | August 25, 2009 9:19 AM
The point the boycotters and presidential sycophants is missing is that Obama IS a racist. HE is the ONE who, during the campaign, insinuated that race might be an issue and HE is the one who has shown through, not only his "writings" but through his "stupid" interference in the Gates issue, that HE simply cannot get past his "blackness." The nation is past it, HE WON. Glenn Beck and the rest of the NATION, those of us who have at least a single brain cell still working and haven't swallowed Obama's scam game hook, line and sinker, realize EXACTLY what is taking place. Beck is simply pointing out the absolute truth that is there for anyone to see who is willing to let go of the political correctness and simply face the actual FACTS of what Obama himself has said and done. The companies pulling their ads are folding to political correctness and the FALSE assumption that because BHO was elected, that the majority of citizens sides with them - they are wrong. And, those who didn't vote for Obama and those (MANY) who have changed their minds due to his ever increasing and obvious ineptitude, will be boycotting those who boycott Glenn Beck. Obama IS a RACIST and he has shown it time and again - he is dismantling our freedom and liberty and he is taking us BACKWARD in regards to RACE because of his constant victim mentality. Because Glenn Beck has the guts to call Obama on the obvious, does NOT mean that Beck is incorrect nor racist himself. Thankfully, there are SOME people left for whom honesty and the ability to communicate straightforwardly is more important than selling their souls for the common, non-sensical overlooking of the BLATANT hypocrisy of the Democratic Party and OBAMA.
Posted by: Zel | August 25, 2009 9:19 AM
Did anyone watch the show? I did, and i don't see what the controversy is about. Beck stated at the beginning that he is giving his opinions. He is free to dislike anyone he choses, with or without cause. (though he gave a lot of cause in last nights show). Everyone else is free to boycott.
Posted by: joe | August 25, 2009 9:19 AM
It is unbelievable how many of you sheep have bought into this political correctness and consider any criticism as "hate speech". Amazing how a black man can say whatever he wants about a white man and it's just expression, but if a white man criticizes a black man it's racism. Think for yourself people...

He said you people would try to make all his facts about Van Jones about anything but the facts. Way to prove him right, morons. Keep following the lemmings off the cliff you idiots.

Posted by: Craig | August 25, 2009 9:20 AM
This is why it's important to know about the past of anyone running for public office. Obama's past was "off-limits" said the media. They said it wasn't important. This guy is a socialist and was raised to hate America. Look at his friends and his mentors! Beck hasn't said anything that isn't true. Where is Beck not telling the truth?
Posted by: Loman | August 25, 2009 9:20 AM
Why is that not one person on this board will even discuss the impact of Obama sitting in Jeremiah Wright's church and listening to Wright not only spew anti-American and racist bile week after week but also supporting a church that repeatedly honored Louis Farrakhan, a man who still claims that white people are "devils" and "inferior." Oprah walked out of that church post haste. Why didn't Obama distance himself until Wright was exposed? That is legitimate evidence of racism and has NEVER been explained by Obama. A white candidate couldn't attend KKK rallies for 20+ years and then be allowed to simply say that he wasn't paying attention but that is EXACTLY the excuse that Obama has been allowed to give without much questioning by a complicit media. Double standard, thy name is Obama.

Glenn Beck is not a "hatemonger". He makes it perfectly clear that what he says is his opinion. If you were to read his books you would see that he isn't a racist, or a sexist or any other label the left uses to describe him. Most people cry racism when they can't defend their position, it's easier that way. Most people that cry racism are in fact racist themselves. If Glenn Beck is such an idiot, or if he is so wrong and un-informed, then why is the left trying desperately to destroy him? Usually an idiot is just dismissed and left to self destruct on their own. Maybe it's because Beck is asking the tough questions that no other network has the courage to ask. Enjoy the next 15 months, because this radical left, Marxist agenda will come to a stop in Nov 2010.

40 people with no one to answer to but the President. No congressional oversight, no budget reporting, no constraints that totally circumvent our constitution.
President Obama's green jobs czar Van Jones couldn't pass a background check with two arrests in violent riot situations and acknowledging that he is/was a member of the black nationalists and a self professed communist.
He's just as bad as Bill Ayers

You blinded GOP-ers or DEMS just do not get it. Beck hates the GOP as much as he hates DEMS. It's about a government that is completely out of control. Try to open your blinded eyes from voting one way or the other. Bush is just as much at fault for our nations road towards Marxism as Obama is. Think about it.

Amazing that this article hides the main point of Beck's diatribe. Funny that liberals, proud as you are, you don't have the pride to list Beck's problem with Jones. It wasn't that he was a racist. He didn't say that. It wasn't that he was a convict. It wasn't even the far left organizations that he is part of.
It was that he is a SELF PROCLAIMED COMMUNIST/MARXIST REVOLUTIONARY!
This is not McCarthyism. It is not an unfounded accusation. This is a claim no one can deny because it came out of Jone's own mouth. You can't claim that he isn't a Marxist, only that it isn't important.
Why can't you be proud of Carl and mention this salient point in the article?

What hypocrite, every one of them who have cancelled their advertising for Beck. They're going to lose my business for cancelling. People who criticize Glenn Beck for being racist have never watched his show. He is the most unbiased personality on tv and radio. LISTEN to his show first.And the republicans have never done anything for this country??? What about the prescription coverage for seniors that democrats didn't want and are still complaining about.

Well it's nice to see that the liberal left is able to judge a man without watching his show and in the same breath bash the right with comments like "Mental" Sounds to me like the posts on this page miss the mark again just Like Obama''s did with the "Police acted stupid" before he knew the facts. Watch the program and educate yourself. van Jones is also a self proclaimed communist. So if you support the ideals that brought down the communist party around the world then continue to support the czars of this administration and that is exactly where this country will be.
good day.
Posted by: ceadog1985 | August 25, 2009 9:26 AM
He writes a book about his black father, not his white mother. He calls his white grandma a typical white person, whatever that is. He praises Rev Wright by giving him the honor of conducting his marriage ceremony. And, oh yeah, he prejudges (hence, the word prejudice) a white police officer as stupid when confronting a black man who conducts himself criminally.
Oh, yeah, its really a stretch to think that Obama may be prejudice against whites.

I am not sure what the left has their panties up in such a wad about, the man is merely pointing out some facts. Sure occaisionally he gets a little over dramatic, but that is balanced by the foaming Olberman on MSNBC. FOX news isnt hurting for advertisers, despite the goofy bed wetting liberals FOX news will remain atop the ratings, and continue to have a large pool of major advertisers. Perhaps what the left should consider is, instead of vindictiveness and spite, maybe they should represent all Americans and stop catering to the unions and the far whacked out left wingers. If Obama continues down this left wing path, it will be over in 1 term for certain, because the whacky left is less than 5% of the voting public.

Does it bother anyone that a paid adviser to the president co-founded a group that is organizing a boycott of a critic of the president? I know its ok because he's "not been active with the group for nearly two years." Like Beck or not this is politics as usual, not change you can believe in. What is Jones' reaction to the boycott? How many of the 33 are boycotting all political programs? Come on people, these politicians are destroying our country and no one cares.
Posted by: Jason G | August 25, 2009 9:33 AM
I came to the same conclusion several months ago -- that Obama is a racist. Beck just had the forum and guts to voice his own conclusions. Racism is bad for everybody. There is good and evil in all of us. What is important is the choices we make on which we act upon. And, Obama has chosen to act upon his worst evil by trying to belittle his opposition, calling them a 'mob', many other names and trying to state that they are 'bearing false witness'. Obama is an elitist who thinks he knows better than everybody else, which is totally against the whole Constitution and American Way.

Per the alleged securing "commitments from 36 companies pledging not to advertise on Beck's afternoon show," this is a scam. I contacted ConAgra, one of the "boycotting" firms the group lists as I'm both a shareholder and have peers who work there.
The reality is that ConAgra wasn't advertising on Beck, wasn't intending to, wasn't intending on advertising on any opinion show and there were no plans for any such ad buys anywhere.
Increasingly, the left has become unhinged from truth and reality (as we've seen with the president's attack on those who challenge his health care monstrosity). Guaranteed recipe for an EPIC FAIL in the United States.

Did any of you watch the segment? Should not the Presidents adviser's be held to a high standard. He may be "green" but his other baggage disqualifies him for such a high position in the government.

Boycott away simpletons. Pay homage to your voices of "moderation" olberman and maddow and matthews. Take the direction from your masters at acorn. Visit your family members in the nation's jails and keep wondering why people don't want to hire you.

Hehe, Beck is a ratings gold mine.
Wonder why the left is throwing stones when they live in a glass house? The passion is with the right right now. I wonder how a counter petition vs. the American pravda aka MSNBC would work out for the struggling network.
Anyway, I hope Beck continues to expose the commie leftist scum in the Zero's WH.

Posted by: John in Yorktown | August 25, 2009 9:41 AM
I don't think that Beck is the problem. He is doing what he is doing to earn his living.
The problem lies with the people who listen to him, believe what he says, repeats what he said and adds their own twist to it, quotes him as an authority and ignores or dismisses real knowledge.
As long as those people continue doing what they do, Beck will continue doing what he does.
I see no way out.

95% of the people "bashing" Glenn Beck on this blog I believe did not even watch the show.
If any of you actually did your research on Van Jones you would scratch your head on OBAMA giving this guy a position of power.
But like good little liberal's you all throw the word "racist" around when you need to demonize someone. Instead of debating him on the "facts" of his assertions you resort to name calling and inneuendo.
Good grief.
Posted by: Slack-Jawed Yocal | August 25, 2009 9:42 AM
Thank goodness we have Glenn Beck to open our minds and eyes to the radical actions of this President and this administration. There may be many who do not want to believe the words of Glenn Beck, but the facts are undeniable and confirmable - if you care enough to do the research for yourself. None of us like to be negative and that is why this country is in the toilet. Liberal life styles have brought us down morally and now their progressive philosophy is out to bring this country to its knees. Go Glenn Go - the left must be continually exposed - they are rude, nasty, hateful and never satisfied. They accuse conservatives of those behaviors that they are guilty of themselves. Bring it on - we will not stand down anymore to the name calling and in your face actions of these radical leftists.If Glenn needs money to stay on TV - we will all take up a collection to see that he gets what he needs.

Beck has over 2 million viewers and is the only media person turning over the dirt. It's not like he makes this crap up out of thin air. He has a quote of Van saying he became a communist in prison,and nver retracted the statement, so who is the idiot? You morons for loving a government that employs communists or Beck for uncovering it??? Hmmmmm..I'm going with you idiots!

What I see in these posts; Hatred complaining about hatred. Racists claiming racism. Bigots and hypocrites all. Instead of finding out if what was presented is true you slander Beck and any fans (kinda like Beck did) out of deep seeded hatred for people who think different than you. Look around and tell me if you really think civilization will survive. Finally, as I've always hated censorship and book burning please allow me to say what I always say to complainers; "if you don't like it, change the channel".

I guess it's ok for the wackos on the left like, olbermann, maddow and the rest to spew hatred but when it comes from the right its a nut job, go figure. we should all just go back to reporting the news not making it. where's Walter Cronkite when we need him the most?

Such an angry group on the left... haters of the truth?
Obama said, "AARP supports his plan"... AARP denies supporting it... thus, Obama is a liar (but one example of hundreds).
Obama rushed to comment "stupidly" when police arrest Gates (who happens to be a democrat) but Obama was queerly silent when loyal DNC union thugs hospitalize a black man (who happens to be a republican)... clearly, Obama only wants to use the power of the presidency to help his friends. Clealy, he is all for violence against republicans... or he would have said something.
Obama is banking on republicans being more level headed than democrats... left wingers scare him, that is why he is bending over backwards promising them the moon and stars... so that angry little group of leftwing thugs doesn't take aim at him. Sadly, he is running out of things to promise them... and sooner or later they will get tired of following empty promises (they have proven to be pretty slow on the up take to date but I am holding out hope for them... after all its easy to be duped into beleiving a lie, especially, when the liar is good at it and Barry has proven to be very good at it).

Posted by: Acey | August 25, 2009 9:49 AM
Glenn Beck is part of this group of extreme right and left wing
commentators that are on both Fox and MSNBC in the evening. Beck, along with O'Reilly, Hannity on Fox, and Olbermann, Matthews (once a good newsman), Madlow and Schultz on MSNBC. They present very slanted and biased view of current political events with many times very little or no facts to back up their rants and accusations . Watching those individuals is like listening to Professional Wrestling of the News. And opposing views and opinions are rarely shown. NBC even tied to elevate Olbermann and Matthews to being regulars on covering the Political Conventions last year before News Professionals within NBC News, Tom Brokow and Brian Williams, protested on being on the same stage with these biased and unprofessional individuals. If one wants to watch very biased, slanted and one sided view of the current news with a lot of hot air, sometimes full of hatred, I suggest you tune in MSNBC and Fox in the evening. They are a disgrace to factual professional news coverage.

Nobody cared what Glenn Beck was saying when he attacked George W Bush. He's critical of EVERYONE. I don't get why everyone's so upset.
Posted by: steve | August 25, 2009 9:50 AM
If the claims made by Glenn Beck on his shows (radio and television) were not supported by alternative sources on the Internet his critics might have valid claims.
Much of the information presented by Beck has been presented on other programs and numerous web sites and blogs, including many internationally and European focused URLs.
Have we not seen story after story regarding groups such as ACORN, SEIU, George Soros, and friends for years and months prior to Becks show on FOX?
Perhaps I am a mindless racist for opposing much of the POTUS's agendas but the people at town halls that support him are less knowledgeable than I. During discussions about provisions of H.R. 3200, for example, I had printed copies of the bill's provisions that I was especially concerned about. During the discussions I was able to show supporters the actual text of the bill. Many asked where I got the text from so they could read it themselves. Others tried to use their blackberries to find contradicting text but were unsuccessful. Main point the facts of the bill speak for themselves. Its text contradicts the talking points given to the poorly disguised SEIU and ACORN activists mingling with the crowd.
Posted by: JohnFLob | August 25, 2009 9:50 AM
I see that basically everyone is calling Beck a "hater", but is anything he said about the guy un-true.
When I say untrue could Jones take him to court for slander? If not then it is not hatred or racism just Beck stating facts that the left doesn't like. Big difference.
The left has played the race card so many times with people they don't agree with I don't even bother to listen to them anymore.
That folks is the real problem now. Average people are begining to tune out when ever people start to claim racism, now when real racism does happen people won't believe it or will not pay any attention to it.
This whole boycott thing hasn't hurt FOX's ratings any either. According to the latest numbers Bill O'Rilley beat either CBS or NBC (can't remember which) just the other day.
Posted by: southdakotaboy | August 25, 2009 9:50 AM

it is all about money, the advertisers want people to see their ads,, fox gets the people in front of the tv like no other can.
Glen Becks rating are equal to msnbc, cnbc and cnn combined,
every time Fox broadcasts a show it kills the others. DC needs to wake up,, the views on fox are the views of the vast majority. the east coast + south CA are not the majority and this bungled attempt at a progressive take-over have woken the sleeping giant
Posted by: Nate G | August 25, 2009 9:51 AM
TheReamer asks where I am. If a friend hadn't emailed pointing out his post, I wouldn't have noticed. I am not interested in Beck and this ineffective, phony little boycott. Nor have I been back to the swamp in a couple of days. I did notice that TheReamer had nothing to say about the post, but was only looking for me. Sounds to me like he has a wasted life going on here.
I did think it was funny reading newscorpse claiming Fox was losing money because Beck is so highly rated. Guess what, advertisers like highly rated shows. If Beck is highly rated, the supposed boycott could not be a success. Besides, it looks like the "boycott" Whole Foods has increased sales. Boycotts often run into the problem of counter support. So, it is likely with the Beck boycott. Lot's of free publicity. I wonder if newscorpse noticed any dead air or an increase of commercials touting the Fox network. If he didn't, the boycott is, as predicted, totally ineffective. I did look at newscorpse's meager attempt at humor on his web site. Maybe, a 6th grader would have seen some humor, but not an adult.
If anyone cares, I don't watch Beck or Fox. Nor, does anyone pay me for posting. Nor, have I volunteered to post for any organization. But, I do thank TheReamer for his endorsement and for thinking my writing is that good.

Now, these hypocrites, the like I have never seen, want to silence a critic of The One by claiming political correctness. You make me sick.

For every company who refuses to advertise on Fox, there are a thousand more who are begging to have their products displayed on the most popular news network (by a huge amount).

Most of these companies do not want their name listed as boy-cotters, because they know they themselves would be boycotted by the millions of Fox watchers.

Funny - a hallmark of American culture has always been to be able to question our representatives and leaders, but now that Obama and these racist organizations like Color of Change think it's racist to challenge or question policy. Very interesting - too bad the American people don't see it that way you whiney, race bating lemmings.
What's the excuse going to be when Obama and the dems are voted out, racism again? Please - the American people are sick of the constant, empty attacks of racism leveled at anyone who dares question Obama or the 'black community'. Keep burying your head in the sand, it is only you who look ignorant - and this is coming from someone who isn't neccesarily a fan of Beck but who knows what real racism is and how fake you people, AND OBAMA are!
Posted by: DJH | August 25, 2009 10:00 AM
You left wing nuts need to take off the rose colored glasses that Obama handed out during the election and finally see the world and the US for what it really is. No one is talking about how great this country is. We are members of the greatest society in the history of the planet, and we achieved this status in only 233 years. Stop talking about how bad we are as a nation or that we are using too much of the planet's resources. We are the most developed and wealthy nation on Earth and that fact alone is the reason why we use like we do. If advertisers want to pull their adds from a specific show, let them. They will regret it when sales begin to drop; which will force them to go back to FOX on their knees and ask for their old ad slots back. God Bless Capitalism and God Bless America!

Van Jones is an admitted communist; in his own words. Someone finds that unacceptable and you attack them. WOW!!!
I can guarantee you that Glenn Beck will be prominent in American society for a lot longer than Obama will.

Funny how the article only mentions what Beck says about Van Jones as a "rowdy black nationalist.''', but does not go a step further and mention that Beck has uncovered that Jones is a self avowed communist.
Why do we have a communist advising our country and helping to draft legislation?
The president told us during the campaign; "if we want to know who he is, look at who he surrounds himself with." So what does the appointment of Van Jones say about our President?
Posted by: s stump | August 25, 2009 10:00 AM
Doesn't the right realize that the majority of this country is left leaning. They claim that obama's slipping approval rating is proof that most people disagree with his politics because he isn't rigthwing enough. What they fail to understand is that its quite the opposite, the falling numbers are because Obama isn't leftwing enough, he's too much of a centrist. So "exposing" his "radicalness" or the "radicalness" of his appointments is only going to make the left like him more. Every time Fox does this kind of Expose on Obama and his administration, I can't help but to like him a little more : )
Posted by: peter | August 25, 2009 10:00 AM
Are you afraid of watching Glenn Beck's presentation on Van Jones to find our what exactly Beck had to say? Try watching it and then asking questions to determine if this Van Jones is the kind of guy we should have giving advice to a President of the United States. Deflecting, and not assessing the issue, allows you to close your eyes and end up places you may not want to be as you are led blindly astray.

Posted by: Mike | August 25, 2009 10:01 AM
Lol, I have to wonder if many of you actually WATCH or LISTEN to Beck or any other conservative voice regularly or just drink the koolaid like most other liberals. For those who actually DO watch/listen regularly and are making an informed opinion, good for you...for those who are drinking the koolaid, keep your trap shut b/c you're no better off than the ones you criticize. For those who don't know what "drink the koolaid" means...well if you don't, then you probably won't understand any of this anyway. Hate to tell you but, democrats/liberals can be just as hateful, racist, etc., as you claim conservatives/republicans can be...and if you can logically deny that, wow, you ARE drinking the koolaid.
Posted by: Bryan | August 25, 2009 10:01 AM
Has anyone actually bothered to do the research on the background of Van Jones? Seriously? Simply because Beck "attacked" him, you are all willing to turn a blind eye. It doesn't matter how or who initiated the subject, it still warrants consideration. It would be interesting to read a debate on Jones rather than the typical conservative vs liberal ad hominem rhetoric that gets posted. It is tiring and boring. I know little on the subject, I'm doing my research. It would be great if we could exchange ideas to gain information and understanding. I know, dream on...
Posted by: Greg Delo | August 25, 2009 10:01 AM
Glenn Beck used to be fun to listen to. He used to mix his comments with humor. We are in deep do do, not wee wee. Bush spent too much but Obama makes Bush's spending look like spare change. Maybe that was the change people voted for. If we do not stop this president we will never dig out.

I love this. The "press." What a joke. The creative writer here tried to explain that the "reason" that Obama and this White House have been Fox averse for two years is because of something Beck said yesterday. Oh. Okay. Now I understand. Based on that "logic", I guess Bush should have boycotted the rest of the press? Why not do some "journalism." Check out what Back says about Van the formerly avowed communist. Or that fact that the poor senior government official has his own PAC that is organizing boycotts in an effort to silence their truth-telling opposition. But this paper, like the LA Times and others, instead stays true to the negative stereotype. They attack the guy whose not a Lefty and give a free pass to the poor government official who had the truth told about him. Dangerous times. The "press" defends the government against the small portion of the press that does not march in lock-step. Dangerous times. We have a government that boycotts news organizations for ideological reasons and a MSM that supports that. What goes around... The Left is here.

I've never seen so many left-wing loons located in one place discussing something as trivial as advertisers pulling their ads from Glenn Beck's show... Hate to spoil your day but some of those advertisers never advertised on Glenn's show to begin with... Try pulling off your blinders for just a second and try to digest the main point of Glenn's concerns... This president surrounds himself with extremely questionable people.. Van Jones, Rev. Wright, Father Flagler, Weather Underground and the list goes on and on... No other president, Democrat or Republican could get away with what this president is getting away with and you left-wing loons just look the other way... go figure!

Anyone who boycotts Beck on the basis that he is biased and does not do the same for the likes of Obermann is either ignorant or a political bigot.

So is this guy Jones a radical or not? Sounds like he is based on facts - member of radical group, self described Communist...connect the dots liberals. Tough for you to admit the truth.

I watch Glenn regularly, he is informative unlike MSNBC which should not even be classified as a "News Show". He investigates his topics so well, no wonder he has his detractors.He is an enemy of the far left and nails them to the wall with his critique of these losers.

I'm shocked. I have been listening to Glenn Beck for years. I've never heard the man make a racist comment. Ever. He has no problem pointing OUT racism, however, and there is plenty to see if one looks at the current President's selected companions. Read what these people have actually written, and you'll get a very different picture from what the MSM is telling you it means.
I dare say that most of you who are slamming Beck for his "hating", "irrational" and "uninformed" style have never taken the time to listen to or watch the man, beyond a disembodied soundbite provided by the opposition.
I challenge you to be open minded and actually listen to the man. Read his latest book, "Common Sense". Prove you are the real fair and balanced people in this country by halting your personal attacks and actually listening to what is being said by these people. I dare you.
What are you afraid of? You might have to actually think for yourself for a change? You might have to form your own, potentially unpopular, opinion on a topic?
I dare you.

The left can't handle the truth. Van Jones is bragging that he is a criminal and that the President gave him $80 billion from the stimulus to "spend, spend, spend". Gee, no approval by congress, no security clearance - -thugs gone wild???
Obama sided with the black guy over the white police officer, even after admitting he didn't know the facts. He accused the WHITE police officer of racial profiling.
Those were not the actions of a president, but of an ignorant person who put his racial identity ahead of another.

Think you all need to head back to the swamp you crawled out of. Ever ask why Fox News has such high viewer ratings? In some weeks, they have had more viewers than all the other "major" news networks COMBINED. The boycott beck campaign is a joke. And so are all of you left wing loonies who think you have some stakehold on intelligence. Conservatives outnumber libs, and Fox News is just a mirror of that fact.

Beck is exposing Obama's radical agenda.Van Jones is a radical. How can you dispute that? A thug from the Communist Obama administration trying to silence it's critics! This is bigger then you think.

Disclaimer - I am Conservative, listen to and support Beck, and obviously in the minority here....read on...
I am saddened by the blind and ignorant masses that have posted here and still continue to support this administrations counter-freedom agenda. When provided with facts regarding the individuals that Obama surrounds himself with, the countless erosion of freedoms and civil liberties that we have enjoyed as Americans, and the progressive and rapid downfall of our country in the status of the world, you all continue to cast a blind eye to the truth becasue you either do not believe it popular or politically correct.
When someone like Beck presents evidence such as text from Jones' speeches and writings in his past, which if were stated by a white man about a black man would be obvious racisim, instead of taking these facts and and formulating your own opinion, your backbone dissolves under the pressure of polictical correctness and your mindlessly join the masses.
Is this the 'change' you wanted? Is this the 'change' you even thought you would get?
I suggest that if you are a rational clear thinking american that wants his country and freedoms to remain to get all the facts you can, not just from fox news or CNN, but both, and news papers, trusted online sources and then double check and cross reference the facts.
Then and only then can you formulate an opinion and become a important voice in the debate about our future. Until then, please stand in the corner and suck your thumb until you can prove you have matured as a citizen and American.

How could Obama not be a racist? He attended Rev. Wright's so-called church. Oh, but he wasn't listening to any of it... He does hide his racism pretty well though. It's also kind of funny how ONLY white people can be racist.
Posted by: AMT | August 25, 2009 10:09 AM
Problem is...
Glen Beck's accusations are confirmed by Van Jones' own assertions. And Barack Obama did dutifully sit every Sunday morning for 20 years in a church where Jeremiah Wright ranted racial hatred at Whites and Jews.
Had a white politician attended KKK meetings and listen to a Grand Wizard rant against Blacks, would there be any outrage against someone who called him racist?
This boycott will not work. In fact it will only help build Beck's audience. Given the backlash against President Obama's left wing agenda, by the middle class, as we are seeing this summer in Town Hall meetings, it wouldn't be surprising to see Beck's audience grow by several fold. And the advertisers will follow.
Posted by: john | August 25, 2009 10:10 AM
I find it laughable that you folks can call Beck a racist while at the exact same time, Obama made a CLEARLy racist statement about the cop on Cambridge and you guys excuse it as nothing at all.

Call one person a racist with a 20 year history of attending a church with a racist preacher; a man obsessed with his own race who hides behind it constantly; a man who tells questionable stories about his grandmother's racism and calls her a "typical white woman"...call that person racist, and all hell breaks loose.
However, call large swaths of Americans "racist" with absolutely no proof...well, that's just journalism.
The cut-n-paste media can go fornicate with themselves. Anyone with a brain knows full well that it's the liberal pundits and Democratic politicians who are obsessed with race, and constantly non-sequitor to it when they are losing a debate.

I can't believe that liberals are so brainwashed that they want people lie this in our administration.

It is refreshing that the news and opinion Beck delivers raises legitimate question that need answers. Is that such a threat to intelligent people or is it only a threat to those wanting no questions asked about an administration that is certainly delivering change to America? At least Beck attempts to provide information to support his opinions—something most opinion news shows do very little of.
It is unfortunate that those wanting to shut down someone like Beck must not have the brainpower to offer supporting facts countering what they disagree with. This type of response only proves one of Beck’s themes that the Obama administration, and their supporters, is thuggish in their attempts to stifle any opposition—a scary threat from a very powerful and intrusive government.
Posted by: Liberty Frog | August 25, 2009 10:12 AM
Glenn Beck and his message are unearthing the fascistic intolerance of "progressives" worldwide. Please keep working hard to convince the American people that those who disagree with the current "leadership" in DC be boycotted or labeled as "evil-mongers". The energy this sort of vitriol is imparting to a resurgent conservative movement is invaluable.

Predictably, Mark Silva fails to mention in his article that Van Jones is an avowed communist. Remember during the campaign last year, all of the stern lectures from the Democrats warning skeptics of Obama not to question his socialist policy ideas because it was tantamount to racism? Well, the chickens are coming home to roost.

If you don't like Glen Beck's show, don't watch. Certainly you have other choices on your favorite networks, MSNBC and CNN (not to mention all the basic networks, which all champion the President's views 24/7).
I for one will be looking into which advertisers have the courage to stick with a show that is not afraid to speak truth to power - and supporting them wholeheartedly.

Glenn is attacked as a nutjob and ignorant person because he dares to call it like he sees it and expose us to information not being found elsewhere. What he said about Van Jones is all true and easy to find online. Why shouldn't we question someone with such a radical and criminal past being placed in a very powerful position in our own government? Seems to me it is ignorant NOT to question it.

Sorry folks, the jig is up, even though none of you seem to have a clue. America is a center right country, and Beck speaks the language that resonates with the bedrock of our culture, which involves a belief in individual freedom, natural/moral law, and American exceptionalism.
Everyone knows, deep down, that this election was largely racist in its essence, whether it was about white guilt or black pride, so it is no surprise that racism continues to permeate the administration. From the "typical white person" grandmother comment to the repudiation of the Churchill bust to the selection of a supreme court justice on the basis of race to the race-baiting of the Gates affair, there are literally hundreds of blatant examples of Obama's racial bias and animosity.
The charisma is gone, so Obama has shrunk from a full suit to a truly empty one, a fact that has penetrated most everyone except the 1/5th of the country that remains stuck in a 40-year-old leftist/liberal paradigm.
You guys are pretty sad.
Posted by: Voice of Truth | August 25, 2009 10:19 AM
Funny how racism works.
Paradox: Every white person on the planet will have to live with the stigma of 'racism' for the rest of civilization. I didn't hear much about how racist it was when Reginald Denny was brutally beaten during the 1992 LA riots simply because he was white.
President Obama further highlights this unfairness. Not only has he used the label "typical white person," he has recently passed his judgment in a racially charged legal matter based solely on his racial preference.
By pointing this out, that must make me 'racist'. I guess I'm a "typical white person."
Posted by: Typical White Person | August 25, 2009 10:19 AM
It amazes me how closed minded the liberal whiners on here (and the mainstream media) are - who hate free speech and simple truth. The only real visible racist groups are liberals who continue to lump a group of americans into the category of "african americans." Why don't I hear about "polish americans" or "russian americans" or "scandanavian amricans"? No, Liberals just continue to advocate rasicm by seperating one group of americans into a category, and then wine about it. Don't like Glenn Beck? Then don't listen to him - just like no one listens to Air America. This is what free speech is about, idiots.

What about the hate preached by Olbermann? You have all exposed yourselves as hypocritical, pseudo-intellect barbarians with no idea of what the freedom of speech means. It's not meant to protect only the side that you believe in, it's meant to protect all speech. That's one thing conservatives understand much better than liberals.
You need not agree with with Beck, Limbaugh, Olbermann, Matthews or any of the bomb throwers from either side. Simply have firm convictions of your own beliefs, and either watch or turn the channel.

I guess the only way speak against any administration is if it is conservative. You are all hypocrites. All of the Obama campaign banter, all of the anti-Bush administration rhetoric lobbed daily, still to this day, and you all have the audacity to conspire against one man with an opposing opinion? What about the hate preached by Olbermann? You have all exposed yourselves as hypocritical, pseudo-intellect barbarians with no idea of what the freedom of speech means. It's not meant to protect only the side that you believe in, it's meant to protect all speech. That's one thing conservatives understand much better than liberals.
You need not agree with with Beck, Limbaugh, Olbermann, Matthews or any of the bomb throwers from either side. Simply have firm convictions of your own beliefs, and either watch or turn the channel.

Actually everything Glenn Beck says on his television and radio show is correct. This is not fear mongering, it is research on our government officials. Have any of you researched any of his claims? I have and they all check out. If Glenn is using fear mongering to boost ratings, then I guess the TRUTH inspires fear in all who hear it.
Posted by: soliver | August 25, 2009 10:28 AM
Interesting how Beck's ratings are on the rise as Obama's ratings continue to free fall.

Would someone please explain to me the benefits of socialism? It's not so much Obama, but his plan to run so much of our economy. Come on people the goverment can't run the Post Office Medicaire, Social Security, etc. And now some of you want to give him another 1/7th of our economy in Healthcare and who know's how much if Cap and Trade passes. Not to mention GM and Chrysler. Beck is only stating that if the Fed is allowed these actions we will all be working 80% for the Fed and only 20% for our families. That's inclusive. It will hit us all! He's not saying the Republicans are any better and there not. We need a new direction in this country NOW and only we the people can make that happen. We need to come together and vote them all out. Demand that we quit spending our tax dollars on horses monkeys rats and roads to no where. If we can stop this and get the Fed out of our pockets we could all live like kings. ALL of us.

I love that the left can't stomach any of their own medicine.
You invented ‘civil disobedience’, we finally learned how to use it 40 years later at healthcare nationalization/reform town halls and you’re mad? We’re actually showing you great respect, you beat us for a long time with a creative new tool.
1. Don’t actually discuss the issue,
2. Shout one another down,
3. Invoke emotional elements and
4. Win.
Eventually we were going to get smart and try this ourselves.
In the similar sense, the Clinton’s brought the ‘politics of personal destruction’ to its pinnacle, if you opposed them their team personally destroyed you (I’ll leave Vince Foster out of this). Now that we’ve figured out that the average American citizen will actually buy this stuff, we’re using it too. Another compliment.
On Jones, anybody who calls themselves a communist publicly is not going to make the same choices for running this country as I would, so I like knowing this about him, but he’s free to be a Commie if he chooses.
By the way, calling Beck, Fox and their audience names only proves the point, but the average American voter is lazy or dumb, so this stuff works, Bravo!!

Glen Beck is right-Obama and most Blacks are racists and white haters, whereas, most whites are not racists or Black haters. It is okay when Blacks say anything they want about whites, but when the truth is told about Blacks, the race card is played. Look at all of the associations Obama had with negatives throughout his entire campaign, and nothing was done because he is half Black. If he was a white candidate, he would have been made to quit the candidacy. The field is not level. Blacks get all of the advantages, and they still want more. Most whites are not racists, they are realists, and when they say the truth about Blacks or other Minorities, right away they accused of playing the race card or they are called racists. That' B.S.

I think everyone that is posting against Beck is a racist themselves. Some need to think about the motivation of their comments. There is something that is changing from the Obama Administration and everyone is jumping on board more like a group jumps onto a new Brad Pitt movie. He is turning more into a celebrity that a president, and Beck among others are noticing this "radical" change. If the right is radical, then explain what the left is doing. Don't even get me going on Harry Reid and Pelosi.

Hey John D., were you and I reading the same article? How the hell is this an "attack piece"? BTW, Mark Silva took this peice almost word-for-word from an LA Times article (or did you not even make it past the second paragraph of this article?"
Glenn Beck is the 21st Century equivalent to Howard BEale, the ranting, raving, crying:"mad prophet of the airways" from the 70's classic "Network". And everyone remembers what happened to Howard Beale when his ratings slipped.
Posted by: Rick | August 25, 2009 10:35 AM
I missed the part where someone explained or disproved Beck's original point, that in his opinion Obama is an anti-white racist.
O called his own grandmother a "typical white woman" and spent 20 blissful years marinating in the anti-white bigotry of TUCC, leaving only when political expediency demanded a departure--and even then defending the bigoted Rev. Wright all the way out the door.
Obama made his anti-white bigotry self-evident. Beck merely observed, and correctly so.

Actually Beck's show lately has been very informative. For one minute leave your worldview behind and listen to what he is saying. Can you answer his questions? Don't assume because you don't like him that he can't have anything important to say. Also... calling someone a racist does not make you a racist does it? Wouldn't that make Jessie and Al the biggest racists around?

Posted by: Mark Lee | August 25, 2009 10:40 AM
This administration is filled with an array of far-left ideologues who have many deep-seated issues of hate and disdain. You can paint it anyway you like, make excuses for them, or simply gloss over it. However, their own words and actions over decades of time, reveal exactly who they are, and what their end game is. There seems to be a leprosy-like effect to use the word socialism, but on it's face, and in its subtext, the actions of this administration is exactly that. Like many leaders throughout history who want to enact something unpopular, they resort to destroying their political enemies and vehemently denying that they are doing, what they are actually doing. Van Jones is perhaps the most charismatic of these angry, demagogues who seek to pull the founding constitutional principles from under our feet, to exact a measure of revenge. He's really just a revolutionary anarchist with an Ivy League degree.
Posted by: Niko | August 25, 2009 10:41 AM

Argumentum ad hominem (argument directed at the person). This is the error of attacking the character or motives of a person who has stated an idea, rather than the idea itself. The most obvious example of this fallacy is when one debater maligns the character of another debater...

Typical leftist attacks. Glen Beck has presented a huge amount of evidence on quite a number of people that President Obama has surrounded himself with. If you watch the show and listen you will find that what is happening in our government is scary! However the left doesn't listen they simply attack everything and everyone that takes a stand that threatens the little dream world the left lives in.
Posted by: goatsontheleftsheepontheright | August 25, 2009 10:43 AM
Obama is a racist. It's unfathomable how "stupidly" he acted 1, using the race card when he was in ignorance of the facts re: Gates/Crowley (It turned out to be the opposite of anything racial whatsoever…and, GATES is a true professional racist supported by a racist president!); and 2, his audacity and abominable arrogance he exhibited in suggesting this event enabled some kind of "teaching moment" inviting the two to the white house for a beer. He needs a whipping from his mother for acting so IRRISPONSIBLY and DECEITFULLY! What arrogance!!! Racial tensions only got worse b/c of Obama’s racist behavior.
And, yes, Obama is a racist given his use of the opportunity to call out a race issue when in fact it was NOTHING of the kind rather and opportunity for professional racist Gates to exploit the issue, DISHONESTLY and cause damage to innocent people!
People of this free country, look at the facts and sources of those supposed facts you supposedly use! WAKE UP! He's ruining a free country and destroying LIFE AND LIBERTY in the pursuit of a Liberal domination of power...and greed. Ever look at what ratio of personal income liberals give to charity vs. conservatives?!!! Can you believe this?!!! Supposed Liberal "caring people” supporting the less fortunate, those who propose they advocate for the less fortunate with “promised policies” (which actually hurt the economy and benefit themselves - Gore and company, etc., etc., etc.) and usurp power unrighteously, GIVE LESS...FAR LESS than conservatives who are so hated by the Liberal Mainstream Media. CROOKS! WAKE UP, PEOPLE! WAKE UP!!!! STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!!!!

- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).

FACT: Obama is a communist and America is on to him. He is sinking in the polls faster than the Titanic. Its only a matter of time until impeachment begins either formally or in the press. Even his own party has had enough and realizes that we are doomed if we continue on the present downward spiral of Obama's communist agenda. Time to read the Declaration of Independence folks - you know the part that says it is our duty to throw off such government and provde new guards for our future security when tyrants make change for light and transient causes.

With 80% of the country on record recently as claiming to be "conservative" or leaning conservative, and those people being aware of this ginned-up boycott by the lunatic fringe left trying to deflect and distort the conversation, do you think these "fair weather friend" advertisers are going to lose more revenue from maintaining their adverts or by pulling them? IMHO, I think they have just cut their own throats to pander to the lunatic fringe left, who is clearly in the minority countrywide. The backlash from the mainstream conservative public -- yes, I know it's hard to accept, liberals, but look at the polling -- is going to cripple these companies. Every liberal in the country could vow to shop these advertisers in support of them (which we all know will never happen because liberals like to use scare tactics to force people to bow to their will but then never actually proactively support those who have capitulated), but they will be dwarfed by the 80% who will boycott them in response to their capitulation.

Good job Glenn! Keep it up! . Actually read President Obama's books, listen to his speeches - then form your own opinion. You might be shocked to find that you will come to a similar conclusion. As for Healthcare - READ the bill. Turn off the radio, your television, READ the bill. Then maybe, you'll actually understand what the "nuts" are talking about. FYI - the "nuts" are on both sides of the spectrum. Educate yourself about the Czars, Healthcare Reform, Cap and Trade, the underhanded offshore drilling deal with Brazil, etc. Scary stuff. Glenn is a true patriot - and he's not just going to just "shut up and color" while our liberties are under attack. He's not "hateful" - he provides valid arguments with actual facts. It's a refreshing change from the liberal media machine which has demonized anyone with right leaning values as ,"racist, nazi, troublemakers,etc.". I am a young Air Force veteran, who served in combat zones during Operations Enduring Freedom, and Iraqi Freedom. I know exactly what I fought for, and I believe in this country and it's people. Oh - and here's a "shocker" - I was born overseas, I'm "multi-racial", and I'm a woman! Personally, I find these labels nonsense - I'm just , "American", thank you very much. In closing, being on the left or right doesn't make you a bad person. Just become aware, educate yourself, and always do the right thing. God bless!

I never listen to Beck, he is part of the Hitler thinkers. That segmant of society that seats people against each other. Then like the rest of the haters, they jump in their jets and flee the scene. To my knowledge, this is the first African American President. So if this is the first African American, who havw the rest been? Now I say, "Who is racist." Racist to the Black is one that holds the economics from him. Prejudice to Blacks are those that pre-judge. Beck missed the Freedom of the Constitution. The Constitution was wrote under the Ten Commandments of the Bible. Freedom of speech is as long as you do not speak hate against another. As Freedom of religion is fine as long as it is Judao. Press ls as lond as you do not breathe false witness. Beck has a lot to find out, HATRED THRONE OUT, WILL RETURN. If he loves this country, it is best that he and his other hatred nazi friends try to hold this country together, Why? the enemy is in house. Meaning if he hates it is in him.

Thank God for Glenn Beck. As long as he talks, I will listen.......and learn. I have one vote but there are millions of people out there like me, each with one vote. Lets use it.....

This is great finally someone is exposing Obama's czar's for who they really are. Do you realize that Van Jones is a self proclaimed communist. The liberals are just scared that someone is actually researching these people. Keep up the good work Glenn and I can't wait to hear more about these czar's on his show this week!

"I never listen to Beck, he is part of the Hitler thinkers. That segmant of society that seats people against each other. Then like the rest of the haters, they jump in their jets and flee the scene. To my knowledge, this is the first African American President. So if this is the first African American, who havw the rest been? Now I say, "Who is racist." Racist to the Black is one that holds the economics from him. Prejudice to Blacks are those that pre-judge. Beck missed the Freedom of the Constitution. The Constitution was wrote under the Ten Commandments of the Bible. Freedom of speech is as long as you do not speak hate against another. As Freedom of religion is fine as long as it is Judao. Press ls as lond as you do not breathe false witness. Beck has a lot to find out, HATRED THRONE OUT, WILL RETURN. If he loves this country, it is best that he and his other hatred nazi friends try to hold this country together, Why? the enemy is in house. Meaning if he hates it is in him."
lolwut? Come back when you can make sense.
Posted by: jimmy | August 25, 2009 11:19 AM
the "president" is tanking the economy, gutting the military, apologizing for America, and trying to socialize all aspects of our country. That plain and simple is reality. I wish you Beck haters would get a backbone and stand up for the truth. But alas...you can't because you have learned to hate and attack before employing common sense.

Glenn Beck is exactly what this country needs. Someone to snap us out of the complacency that is allowing liberals to slowly change everything this country was founded on. If you have an argument with him, back it up with facts. When was the last time that you read any of our founding fathers words of what they envisioned for this country. And don't quote slavery to me. Because of our Constitution, they gave America a way to make right things that were going wrong. And I agree with some of the posters.......tell me who the AD boycotters are and I will be HAPPY to boycott their products. UPS, you are first.

Going after Beck and Rush won't work. Those of us who listen to them can think for our selves. They are our voices to the Obama government. BO doesn't care about anybody but himself. I would like to know all of these companies who have succumbed to any far left group so I can boycott them. UPS and Clorox you are on my list of scaredycats who have given into the BO's followers.

Beck is the only host to state the facts of the day. If Obama was a Republican the entire media conglomerate would be destroying him right now. Beck is not destroying Obama he is simply stating FACTS. Oh Damn Liberals can't comprehend that word. Facts are those little

The only hatred that I'm reading is coming from a significant number of people posting on this site - I haven't heard Glenn Beck advocate hatred, violence, or anarchy. If standing up for the principles of the Founding Fathers defines one as hateful and/or hate-filled, let me be first in line!! By the way, I start every day by asking myself, will the Left hate me today? No, they're too full of love and peace to ever go there.

When these looser liberals and their leftist elitest buddies start complaining , you're doing something right. There has been no real debate on any of this stuff that this administration and it's czars are trying to Rahm down are throats.
Posted by: mactec | August 25, 2009 11:29 AM
I have been listening to Glenn on the radio for 5 years and have watched him since he appeared on CNN's Headline news and now Fox News. Glenn is a Libertarian. He doesn't support Republicans or Democrats. He supports the US Constitution. He is doing something that NO ONE ELSE does, HE TELLS THE TRUTH! Do something revolutionary, actually watch his program this week before criticizing him. You owe it to yourselves. Have an open mind and listen! Or maybe you can't handle the truth??
Posted by: Ben Heiden | August 25, 2009 11:30 AM
I don't agree with most of Beck's views, but you have to agree the his show does put out some things that really expose the administration on levels no other media bothers to do. The main stream media we know are in the tank with the Obama administration the only outlet putting the feet to the fire are fox news and others, that's why people are attracted to this shows and their ratings will keep growing. Be careful for what some of you wish for, once we stop having an opposite point of view or freedom of the press. WE WILL BE DONE!!!

I admire Glenn Beck for exposing the truth and radical leftist philosophy of the Obama Admin. It is very hypocriticlal of the left. If a white supremace was a Czar under the Bush Admin. it would have be posted all over the liberal news. But since it is Obama's Admin. thats OK to have a black , liberal anarchist.
Posted by: tim | August 25, 2009 11:33 AM
Beck is spot-on in his investigation, and should continue doing the job that the mainstream media, black racists and the liberal chattering masses all want to cover up. Beck's questions aren't racial - they're something that we Americans should all be asking. Those who try to silence these questions of our government, should all be rounded up and sent to "American Reeducation Camps" for some education on what our founding fathers intended when they created this great country.

The Clorox Company, headquartered in Oakland CA, was among the first to boycott Glenn Beck. I worked as a contractor for Clorox for a year. It was the most hostile, racist, misandrist corporate culture that I have ever encountered.
It came as no surprise that they dropped their advertising.
Good.
I would suggest all Glenn Beck's listeners and viewers to drop Clorox products. They make a lot more then bleach and cleaners. STP, Armor All, Hidden Valley Salad Dressings, Glad palstic products, Kingsford charcoal, and many others.
Leave all of them on the shelves.

Nothing that Beck has said is even close to the lies and vitriol that came from the left (NY Times, MSNBC, Air America, Hollywood, ...) during the Bush terms OR those aimed at Palin and her family. Beck gives you documentation and references to support his positions. When it is his opinion, he tells you that and guess what, it's his right to have an opinion. Instead of attacking him, refute his position. You don't because you can't.
Obama's own writings show his racists views, try reading them for yourself and learn about your master and messiah. God forbid liberals look away from the state controlled media for a change and get some perspective.

I'm using my free speech to advise companies that support this disturbed man's sick rants will not get my business. Or does the right wish to require that I buy from Beck's advertisers? Seems free speech is a privilage for Obama haters only.

20 years in a Reverend Wright Congregation is an ENDORSEMENT to his message. His message is repulsive and divisive.
Obama's marxist views in social justice and insistence on "class" warfare is repulsive and divisive and makes him ill equipped to be President of a representative republic.
Van Jones war against white america and his alignment with the marxist agenda and his dreams to "force" it onto a free society is repulsive and divisive.
I hardly think that Glenn Beck asking difficult questions and coming to conclusions that we dont want to hear about is hardly repulsive or divisive, except to the scourge it exposes in our society.
Posted by: jdog | August 25, 2009 11:43 AM
Glenn Beck's dedication to a story about ending school vouchers for DC earlier this year resulted in President Obama's decision to keep 1700 students on the successful program. He interviewed the parents, teachers, etc. - all with respect and dignity and his usual strong sense of integrity.
I don't see Olbermann, Maddow, or Matthews doing anything positive. What I see them doing is spewing out hatred for anything that is different from the Demobot agenda of superficial approaches and spending the American peoples' hard-earned dollars.
And yes, this phony attack from the liberals only shows how insecure and insincere they really are, when faced with the tough questions and true facts.

If Beck is such an idiot, why do so many believe what he says?
And why are so many people so angry at Democrats in general?
Beck is a release valve for some. He says what many think--and in such an over-the-top manner that it brings normal folks back to reality.
If the Democrats wanted more people to agree with their policies, they should listen to the townhall comments instead od pointing out flaws in entertainers like Beck...
Otherwise, 2010 might see another "regime change."

So here we have a reporter, who apparently did not watch the show in question, commenting on another reporter who also did not apparently watch much of the show in question telling us what the man said. Well I did watch it, and what Glen Beck said about Van Jones is true, From Jones himself, look it up folks, these arent rumurs, he did say he was a communist, and he was arrested twice, not both times at a politcal event, once he was arrested during the Rodney King riots. and Beck has been talking about Van Jones for almost a month now, long before the boycott started. It is the left that is trying to change the subject away from these unelected Czars...sure there is racism in America, but most of us who did not vote for Obama did so because we dont agree with his policies, not because he is black. As Hillary Clinton so eloquently pointed out, it is patriotic to question and disagree with this Administration, "OR ANY ADMINISTRATION!"

Hey Bill ("Does Beck ever spend a minute without hating? For all practical purposes this guy looks completely off balance, and he is the No. 1? Is this the best America can offer? Cry our beloved country"). Beck never offers up one word of hate, unless its against pedophiles, rapists and/or lying politicians. Do you think Obama is the best America can offer? If so, then Americans can really cry for our country's demise as it slides from greatness to Marxisim/Socialism...

Posted by: Henry Limburg | August 25, 2009 11:54 AM
Glenn Beck was absolutely justified in making his comment. The issue here is that a US President made a completely racist comment on national TV about a situation he admitted he knew nothing about, which turned out to NOT be based on race in the first place, and the media let it pass. You liberals need to grow up a bit. Time to understand what's happening and the consequences of actions instead of this childish ranting and name calling on a truly legitimate story. Glenn’s conclusion is very relevant and does have validity. It does not mean he is right but we don’t know that and the Presidents comments would lead any reasonable adult to that suspicion.
As for the advertisers that boycott Beck. I'm betting you will lose more sales from your hypocritical boycott of Beck then you will gain by supporting this boycott. Why do I say hypocritical? Well for 8 years the left called President Bush everything from a terrorist to murder and you had no real moral issue with that.

Beck has built a sizable following because he's passionate about getting to the truth and the heart of the matter. He's very good about backing what he says with souces, documentation, video, etc. He doesn't continually quote blind sources like countless others have and will continue to do. I voted for Obama last year and deeply regret my decision to do so. Obama isn't just a bad politician. He's turned out to be a bad person in general. This has nothing to do with the color of his skin. However, the fact that he's an African American causes everyone to play the race card if someone says something negative about him. There's something very, very wrong about this. We're all AMERICANS. I don't go around calling myself a German American. I'm an AMERICAN and I'm extremely proud of it.
Posted by: Dakotas | August 25, 2009 11:58 AM
Too many people, black or white, will claim "Obama CAN'T be racist because blacks can't be racist." This is more indicative of the real problems between blacks and whites than all the other historical issues since it is an irrational and unfounded statement, but also because it touches on the level of ignorance which abounds on all sides of any racial issue or topic. Racism and prejudice are characteristics which are learned, not something you're born with, and both can be sufficiently resolved with education and comprehension.
Posted by: Mike | August 25, 2009 11:59 AM
There are none so blind as you liberals who refuse to see. Your distaste for Glen, Sean, etc. is obviously based on your fear that what they say is the truth, and you can't bear the truth. Check the facts, morons. If people like Glen are wrong, prove him wrong with FACTS! He is quoting from their writings. I and many of my friends plan to boycott every advertiser who COLOR OF CHANGE has convinced to cancel their advertising, including transferring my prescriptions from CVS to Walgreens. I have never in my life been accused of racial prejudice, but Obama and his cadre of unregulated Czars is close to turning me into someone who will be considered to be so accused. It has been my experience that Obamamaniacs can't digest facts...so they, like many of you on this posting board attack and call people names who disagree with your narrow misguided views.

.
The colorofchange has effectively given Beck access to a huge new audience because the main stream media has picked up on the story. Beck can be a loon at times but there is a lot of things he states that ring true and needs answers. The party of change is about to do just that, change, their political survival depends on it.

You say that Beck spent most of time SUGGESTING Jones is radical? Here's a quote from Jones while in jail: “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’ I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary. I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th. By August, I was a communist.”
~Van Jones, Green Czar
aka, Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality
There are many other quotes by Jones at Word Press.

This administration is the most corrupt in history. They make Bush/Cheney look like angels. I cant believe this hope and change turned into lies and deceit.
God help America.

The times I have watched Mr. Beck, he raises some interesting issues. Instead of attacking Mr. Beck, why don't the liberals refute the facts about Mr. Jones? Oops, I forgot that you can't confuse a liberal with facts or logic. My bad.

Until the lines between black and white are erased, racism will continue to be a problem in this country. Until the fear of losing what we have in the form of a current health care system is removed a new health care system will never be popular. So what is the problem? The problem is not Obama, most of the debt incurred on his watch is coming from prior Presidents. (Rep and Dem) http://iousathemovie.com. I don't care if your black, white, hispanic or indian the job of running this country is daunting only time will tell whether Obama can pull this country out of the fire. This isn't an issue of hate it is an issue of FEAR spread by the so called unbiased media. Compromise is not a word Americans like to use or do, but their comes a time when you have to lay down your fear and accept change. The beauty of the Constitution is based on change! Change is required to make this a great country. Policies and reform must be given a chance and if they don't fit the needs of the people then changed. We clearly need a change in the form of Healthcare and reducing the Deficit. How we accomplish these is unclear to me but we need to start somewhere and I believe what Obama is trying to do will lead us there but he is going to need support from the Rep’s, Dem’s and Citizens of this Country to pull it off. Otherwise we will be at the mercy of the conglomerate Pharmaceutical Companies and Healthcare Insurance companies. If we don’t start eliminating the deficit this country could end up owned by Foreign Countries and it is already on its way.

Beck is courageous and a Patriot. He is the only one exposing these people.
"The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis…. …the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse."

Liberals are great at one thing: getting and keeping poor voters by giving them free things. This is nothing short of another voter grab again to cement Democrat powerbase for another 30 years.
I've not ONCE seen how any of these policies are helping the producers. The people who start companies, who work their ass off to get where they are. Sure, we all hate our boss and want their money, but unlike those of you who just sit back and bitch, I'm actually WORKING to get ahead.
Beck is simply pointing out that the guy who's leading the 'green' movement is keeping the 'promise' of getto jobs...using my tax dollars to give pointless 'jobs' on a 'faith-based' global-warming quest to 'save the planet' by dropping solar panels in the projects? So, when I yell Bullsh*t, not only am I a racist, but I'm also a souless bastard who wants to destroy the planet?
No, I'm a selfish American who wants to keep his damn money for my family so that my kids can buy toys, consume products I want, buy food I want to eat and download porn from the internet. Telling me you're wasting some of my money on a thinly-veiled vote grab warrant further scrutiny.

Liberals are without question the most bigoted, racist, and duplicitous people there are. They truly are the only ones who don't believe in freedoms and liberty unless you happen to be in lockstep with their ideology. They are the ones who fire bomb neighborhoods, who blow up car dealerships, who destroy business during economic summits, who stand with night sticks and combat boots outside polling places, who beat up peaceful protesters who don't agree with them...and the list goes on... But as Jefferson said, ' a democracy needs to go through a revolution periodically'... well we went through a revolution in the 1960's and now it's time for the pendulum to swing back to the genius principles which founded this country, and defeat the soft fascism that is national socialism as embodied by Obama's following.

You moron leftwing nuts are wasting your time with your bogus boycott.......Even if every last advertiser turns away from Beck(which I doubt since his ratings are through the roof),but even if that happens you loons need to understand that Beck's supporters would gladly pay his salary out of their own pockets to keep him on the air......so stop wasting your time and crawl back under your rock and move on with your pathetic lives.

Sad, that's all I can say. Beck is asking important questions that many I know are asking in their homes... If BestBuy and companies of the like are boycotting Beck, well them, I must do my duty and boycott them! This president and his connections SHOULD BE an area of concern... a president who will not participate in the National Day of Prayer, but speak up on the first day of Ramondon (sp?). I STAND BY GLENN BECK!
Posted by: Patti Smith | August 25, 2009 12:41 PM
All Beck is doing is repeating the words of Van Jones and the other unelected radical CZAR'S in this radical government. You're calling Beck crazy? You're ignorant morons! Do the research of what Van Jones and the others said yourself, then you'll know Beck is correct. Colorofchange is an inherently racist organization. The first sentence on their site says they want to increase BLACK political power. Now that is RACISM!
Posted by: CrusaderPatriot | August 25, 2009 12:42 PM

I once again, demand that it be noted, that Ad-hominem attacks on Beck is not a defense against valid facts.
Further, I would like to see a more balanced listing of these comments. Pro vs Con. This article starts out being commented on by people who are against Beck (first 20 or so) and then it is predominantly PRO Beck... but you tire of reading liberal rants and you leave with the view that everyone was against Beck. Which is definately NOT so. Please add a pro-con-undecided marking to enable statistical balancing of the list of comments with in each hour. I'm left with a feeling that there is a bias in the moderator. Not the viewers.
Posted by: Andrew | August 25, 2009 12:46 PM
I research independently, and usually months in advance, of Beck. He finds important chunks of hidden political squalor. Although he brings an element of theatre, his facts are rarely wrong. His critics are rarely right.
Soooo, let me know what products will be boycotted in protest of Beck. I will buy two of each product.

So, a czar from the Obama administration attempts to censor by proxy a US citizen who disagrees with him.
The libs would be SCREAMING if this was done by the Bush administration.
IMHO it is the libs that are racist. By holding Obama above criticism and using race as a shield they themselves must believe that a black president's policies can't withstand the same scrutiny as a white president's policies.

It is apparent the left conveniently confuses what constitutes disaggreement with hatred. If you don't agree to what the left spouts, that makes you hateful or using hate speech and gives them a label to use against you. If an issue doesn't go their way, they 're-label it'. Global warming is now Climate Change. Terrorist is now Man Made Disaster. Get my point. Anything to hide the truth. No wonder Obama is losing his support. His true label is clearing showing that he is indeed, a leftist Marxist bent on taking our rights from us.

Im a 71yro male who served in the United States ARMY, I have seen a lot in my 71 years, but I don't think I have seen anything yet. Pres. Obama wants to change this Country into something that's not going to be good for the people, only the goverment and who's in charge.The thing that gets me is some people don't or wont read anything from the other side and if you don't look at ALL sides, HOW CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHATS GOING ON IF YOU DON'T GET ALL THE INFORMATION. The sponsers that drop FOX or Beck, I WILL NOT BUY THERE PRODUCTS, it works both ways. I can take the truth and try to live with it, BUT LYING I CAN'T, I WILL SPEAK UP.WE LIVE IN THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND A FEW PEOPLE WITH POWER ARE TRYING TO TAKE US DOWN THE TOILET, SO IM GOING TO SPEAK UP EVERY CHANCE I GET. why it when a white person says something about a person of color, they are called a racist, BUT A PERSON OF COLOR SAYS SOMETHING, THATS NOT RACIST?? Rev. Jackson can get involed and can say anything he wants to about the white person and the press and ABC- CBS- NBC wont say a word and call Jackson a racist, when in fact he is one of the bigest racist in this Country.

So where is your in depth coverage of Barack Hussein Obama's czars? Where is your in depth, who, what, where, when, and how of these non elected czars and the power they might be wielding in Obama's government? When are you going to start asking questions about what is going on in Washington? There's plenty of unrevealed news about the czars, plenty that America's citizens need to know, so when are you going to follow the footsteps of Glenn Beck and start asking quesions and giving out information?

I find it funny how low the national media has sunk. I get it that liberals don't like people who don't agree with them, and they really hate the ones that fight back and use fact vs. fiction; however the media as a whole should be a shamed. The President has many "czars" that are advising him and unlike other members of his cabinet who have to report to congress, these men and women get a free pass and a taxpayer paycheck and no one looks at there background. Someone like Beck points their background out and the response is to attack the messenger. Well guess what Americans as a whole are finally looking at the message and they don't like what they see.

When the loony left cannot refute FACTS, they go to unfounded personal attacks. How typical!

Who's the Racist?
The true racists are on the left, as they always have been. Let's not forget, it was the Dems that tried to stop the Civil Rights Act, including Sen. Fulbright, Bill Clinton's mentor.
"Fulbright signed The Southern Manifesto opposing the Supreme Court's historic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. He subsequently joined with the Dixiecrats in filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as voting against the 1965 Voting Rights Act." Let's not forget Sen Robert Byrd, former Ku Klux Klan member, who wrote, "In 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo:[9]
“ I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds. ”
— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944. How 'bout the character assasination of Justice Clarence Thomas by the left! Even Colin Powell was called an "Uncle Tom" by the left, until he showed his liberal colors. So really, who are the racists?...the hate spewing left!!

While Glenn Beck occassionally presents information in a comical way, his message contains deeply disturbing questions.

Anyone who calls Beck a racist has never watched him, and just takes the word of media sources who want him silenced. I don't agree with everything Beck says, but I consider him a modern day Paul Revere. Everyone wants to kill the messenger when they don't like the message, but Beck's spotlight on the "change" that is coming exposes something much more frightening than the British. Don't forget, our Founding Fathers were considered the nuts at one time. They put their very lives on the line for this Republic that progressives in both parties want to fundamentally change. I'll have Beck's back over the elitist money and power grabbers that we have entrenched in the government in both parties any day of the week. Don't forget the literal meaning of politics--"poly", meaning many, and "tics", meaning bloodsuckers.

Not one word on whether Beck was right or not. Beck backs up his statements with more references, video and quotes than anyone since Nightline was relevant.
An effort to silence your critics, sounds like something a community organizer and a communist would do. Do you that talk of Beck's "hate" not see this?
"I am basically a community organizer working within the government", Van Jones.
So what has Van Jones accomplished? Where are the green jobs for all of the boys in 'hood, as Van said we needed?
There is only 1 station that is not controlled by Obama drones and they can't handle one critic? What a bunch of whiners. I was not a Bush fan for alot of reasons but noone can say he was a whiner like this guy. Maybe he needs to make a Beck-Czar.

So the advertisers aren’t advertising on Glenn Beck’s show. So what? They are still advertising on Fox News at a different time. Nothing changes. Fox News is the highest rated cable news channel and their programs at night are the most watched in all of cable news. Not advertising on Fox News would be a huge business blunder, and so changing times to advertise is not necessarily making a statement. Congratulations on moving your ads to a time when no one will see them.

I think we should cut all commericals from that Glen Beck show. That would be more time for him to speak on what I believe to be true. This will then give Mr. Obama more ammunition to fight back with.
Redirecting the focus off of the real issues. Look at America we are at each others thoats and Mr. Obama is right in the middle of it. I can't rember when a president ever was so involved with media. Another example the "BEER SUMIT" he sould have never even commented on that news story. But he did another let's get away from the hot issues that nobody likes. Now Glen Beck. The leader of our nation is suppose to rise above and focus on the issues not focus away from them. America seen the first chance to get a color man in the white house with no intrest on who he is or what his values are. How about Emmit Smith or Denzil Washington, we know more about them and the would propbably be doing a better job. Purple,orange green, color doesn't matter. Our right to vote is to pick the best person to lead our nation to the best of his/her abillity.
Elections are for us to vote for the best leader for our country not the color of his/her skin. But color was choosen over country. America you voted for it ,you got it Obama God be with us all
Posted by: D. Welch | August 25, 2009 1:43 PM
Let us all respect each others right to have an opinion. Let us return to an open dialog. Agree or Disagree, Beck is the only one looking at both sides of the table. Most Americans live their lives by how they feel. If something makes them feel bad, it is bad. This is not always the case. Oftentimes the things that are difficult and feel bad are things that must be addressed to maintain a healthy and bountiful quality of life. Do we like the feeling of taking out the trash? But it is beneficial and has a positive impact when you take it to the curb doesn't it? Let Beck ask questions, and all of you do the same. Respect the right to open dialog without doing damage to each other. And take the time to check the facts from true sources. And if people get offended than so be it. Its about time we put a stop to the whole politically correct lifestyle and just be real and respectful with each other.

I think we should cut all commericals from that Glen Beck show. That would be more time for him to speak on what I believe to be true. This will then give Mr. Obama more ammunition to fight back with.
Redirecting the focus off of the real issues. Look at America we are at each others thoats and Mr. Obama is right in the middle of it. I can't rember when a president ever was so involved with media. Another example the "BEER SUMIT" he sould have never even commented on that news story. But he did another let's get away from the hot issues that nobody likes. Now Glen Beck. The leader of our nation is suppose to rise above and focus on the issues not focus away from them. America seen the first chance to get a color man in the white house with no intrest on who he is or what his values are. How about Emmit Smith or Denzil Washington, we know more about them and the would propbably be doing a better job. Purple,orange green, color doesn't matter. Our right to vote is to pick the best person to lead our nation to the best of his/her abillity.
Elections are for us to vote for the best leader for our country not the color of his/her skin. But color was choosen over country. America you voted for it ,you got it Obama God be with us all

Yeah, this "boycott" farce might blow up in their faces.
Time to avoid those companies that pull their advertising, avoid them like the scurrying, kowtowing, sycophantic, cowardly entities they are.
Sick of all the reeking sanctimony and disgusting hypocrisy of the left; sick of the detestable and blatantly manipulative use of the term "racist" as a way to bash anybody that expresses disapproval to this Marxist administration; sick of all the weasels who support the farcical political-correctness thought-control speech-control mechanisms put out by bigoted, absolutist "progressives."
BOYCOTT THE BOYCOTTERS OF BECK.
Posted by: RoosterHead | August 25, 2009 1:54 PM
As for the 33 or so companies who joined the "boycot", I learned today that most of them don't advertise on Beck anyway. More then likely this controversy will boost Beck's viewership, which is what controversies do to ratings.

Funny how a Mark Silva would rather focus on the politics of a news commentator rather then the new he's reporting on. Those video of comments made by Van Jones were very disturbing yet the new paper would rather focus on Glen Beck. This article serves to influence more then inform.
Posted by: Russ | August 25, 2009 2:04 PM
Everything that Glenn Beck brought up on his program are facts. Cold hard facts. I realize that there are too many people that don't have a CLUE about what is going on this country. I do know that if a conservative had done even half of the things that this administration and congress has done (take over of the car industry, banks, health care) then you "open minded libs" would be screaming bloody murder.
Wake up America. Face the facts. Truly open your minds to the reality of the dangers of this administration.

I couldn't read all of the posts. But out of the 200 or so that I did read, NO ONE EVER DISPUTED THE FACTS ABOUT "VAN JONES". HE IS A MARXIST AND A COMMUNIST.
Mitt Romney decided to change for Pro-Choice to Pro-life and was crucified.
Yet, somehow we are to believe this guy has given up a philosophy that he has followed for the majority of his life?????

Ah yes. The thread of 'intellectually honest' Liberal/Dem/Socialists, who scream so loudly for Freedom of Speech. UNTIL the other side, or anyone who disagree's with them speaks. Then shout them down, destroy their families, besmirch everthing to do with them, get them fired, have them audited, have their very life taken apart. The Liberal agenda is alive and well. You Socialists make me physically ill with your lack of honesty. Just admit it, you would not only vote for Hugo Chavez if possible, but want your 'Messiah' to institute Chavez' policies here ASAP.

Since UPS and FEDEX are given a special exclusion BY FEDERAL LAW, to compete against the US POSTAL SERVICE, when no one else can...just sayin'.Only reason I can see not to advertise on FOX at all. No one mentioned the fact that the vacated ad spots on Glenn Beck were immediately filled by other advertisers who obviously still believe in FREE SPEECH. Do your own research on the information Glenn Beck is referencing and form your own opinion. I have.
Posted by: Jennifer Jones | August 25, 2009 2:22 PM
Beck is an irresponsible babbling drunk who should not be given a media platform from which to bloviate. It is a mark of the gross irresponsibility of Fox News that it affords media platforms for such fascist mouthpieces as Beck, O'Reilly and Hannity, all of whom are reflexive liars and hate mongers. Fox should have its FCC license revoked and its onscreen "talent" forced to get real jobs.

It appears this so called Boycott may back fire on the left and the companies who bow to the Obamabots. Two things you need to know here. The first is that what you are not told by the left is that these companies have pulled their ads from all politically charged shows, to include CNN and MSNBC. FOX being the strongest of the three, who do you think will be hurt the most from this Boycott?
The second is that those companies who choose to cave to the left loons are only hurting themselves. There is a grass roots effort underway to Boycott against all companies who bow to the pressure from the left. True Americans who still believe in this country are standing together to say we will not do business with any company who panders to the left. If you truly want to make a difference, do not give one penny of your hard earned money to any of these spineless companies. How do we know who they are? Thankfully, through their uncontainable effort to gloat, the left has graciously provided us with a list of companies to Boycott. Just do a search for companies who have Boycotted Glen Beck and refuse to support them in any manner.
We have put GE and the New York Slimes in the tank and we can do the same to the other companies who make a choice to bow to the pressure from the left.
Together we shall take back our country!

Scott Smith,
You couldn't be more wrong. The majority of the comments on here are Beck supporters. Looks like "very few of you have productive jobs in the capitalist society which pays for your government check, you had plenty of time to come her and rant".
Posted by: taxpayer, not teabagger | August 25, 2009 2:31 PM
To any of you companies considering advertising on Beck's program. I will be watching carefully who supports him. I will direct whatever business I can to those companies that support Beck and free speech in this nation both personally and in my business. Likewise, if you pull advertising from Beck, you have lost my support and my money. There is room in this nation for journalism and political accountability.
Posted by: Pine | August 25, 2009 2:32 PM
So the Beck Boycott is comming from the Whitehouse? Sure does seem that way - Kind of looks like a 1st amendment violation - Imagine if Bush had boycotted MSNBC. Man you liberal would be howling - I applud your double standard -

It may be time to repeal the emancipation proclimation.
Van Jones is already breaking the law because he is a convicted felon in a governmental position. Convicted felons are not allowed to hold ANY government position BY FEDERAL LAW.
Therefore, I believe Beck is 100% correct. When you give people power who think they're "oppressed", they abuse that power, and use it to bully the people that supposedly oppressed them.
Word of warning Van Jones - if you value your life, stay out of the south.

The reason the reaction is so strong is because Beck is close to the truth.
America is now getting a good look at the character of the company that Obama keeps. Time is revealing a deeply flawed President surrounding himself with deeply flawed administrators and advisors.
We are increasingly getting the change he promised, and it is getting clearer, day by day, that it is even worse than we feared.

If anyone is old enough to remember the leader of the Kremlin, Krushev - he siad he didn't need to make war on the US, they would take it over from INSIDE. Comrade Obama doesn't want to govern (he doesn't know how), he wants to rule and doing poorly at that.

FIRST, Mr. Silva has DISTORTED the facts. I suggest he do his homework first. If you want the TRUTH go to DEFENDGLENN BECK.com where you can view the ACTUAL number of companies that pulled their advertising. It WAS NOT 36 , the number provided by Color of Change and Mr. Silva, apparently both mouthpieces for BHO & his administration.

My bosses had a party with a dunk tank, I was wanting to know if you liberlas consider this waterboarding. I believe it is ok for Mr. Beck to call Obama racist because all you liberals say we conservatives are racist just because we don't beleive in the socialist agenda Obama is putting on us.

We should all be thankful that people are still free to speak their mind in this country. The left should defend his right to speak like they did the guy who wrote that movie about the assasination of GW Bush, Rosie, Michael Moore, etc. They said far worse things about a sitting president than Beck ever has. If folks don't agree with what he says, they don't have to watch. Let the market place of ideas vote with their feet. If he can be easily proven wrong with the facts, he won't last long. If what he says is proven true, his audience will grow.
Posted by: Keith | August 25, 2009 2:49 PM
I'm with Beck. "Speaking truth to power" is suddenly out of vogue with our leftwingnuts. The current president of colorofchange agreed with that nutball kanye west when he said the "George Bush hates black people." Good Lord, the leftwingnuts get their platform to say any despicable thing they desire. One little white guy "speaks truth to power" and the leftwingnuts get all wee wee'd up.

But to fold to the lefties by pulling their ads from Glenn Beck must mean they don't want my dirty capitalist money!

The Problem with Glenn Beck: A Critical Analysis
The problem with Glenn Beck is that he asks tough questions but answers them not with FACTS. But with his opinion. You can see it in his show. He will make an outrageous statement as if it is fact....and then add a caveat, "in my opinion". He pauses before issuing this caveat in such a way that the rubes and haterz believe he is stating fact. He is NOT. It is opinion. That's all he does, he tells you rubes his OPINION.
Posted by: Spencer | August 25, 2009 2:56 PM
I'm quite possitive that the vast majority of the right wing posters never heard of Van Jones until Beck's contemptable smear job. Sadly, his fans will believe anything he says. The wild posts here suggest that his fans are as consumed with hate and delusion as their hero.

When Kayne West said 'G. Bush hated black people!' no one in the liberal media or corporate America even flinched, said one dissenting word. But have conservative say some similar and it is the end of the world and that person should be silenced. Air America could not get through a 90 second stint without having to be BLEEPED because of curswords ranting about Bush but again no one in the liberal media would even comment.
Even a mentally challenge person can see there is no fairness with liberals and the liberal media.

Posted by: Deb | August 25, 2009 3:07 PM
Obama, like both of his parents and most people he surrounds himself with are anti-American, socialists and communists and in most cases anti-caucasion racists. Obama's own words: "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." Obama, 10-11-08. "The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice . . . one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement . . . [P]olitical and community organizing . . . put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change." - Obama, WBEZ FM, 2001. "America continues to become increasingly unequal, an inequality that tracks racial lines" Obama, "Audacity of Hope," p.157. "[S]omeone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so someone else can have more." Michelle Obama, 4-8-08. "I chose my friends carefully . . . politically active black students [to] Marxist professors." Obama, "Dreams of My Father," pp. 100-101. Bill Ayers is a Marxist professor Obama carefully chose, along with Marxist Black Liberation "pastor" Jeremiah Wright and Marxist mentor Frank Davis, etc. "As I imagined myself following [racist Marxist] Malcolm X's call, one line in his book stayed me . . . his wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might somehow be expunged. I knew that [on my] road to self-respect my own white blood would never recede into mere abstraction." Obama, Dreams, p. 80. "It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm [X] . . . You must help in your people’s struggle. Wake up, black man!" Obama, Dreams, p. 157. "I read [Heart of Darkness] to help me understand . . . white people . . . That's the only way to cure an illness, right? Diagnose it.” Obama, Dreams, p. 77. "I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites" Obama, Dreams, p. 6. "[W]e would never talk about whites as whites in front of whites without knowing exactly what we were doing." Obama, Dreams, p. 62. "[A]ny distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning," Obama, Dreams p. 6. "We [must] complet[e] the unfinished business of the civil rights movement—namely, enforcing nondiscrimination laws in such basic areas as employment, housing, and education." Obama, Audacity p. 143. This is why Obama worked with Marxist, racist Acorn (in concert with Clinton admin 1993-2001) to misuse government office (Third Way socialism) and community organizing direct action to force lenders to make affirmative action (standardless) loans to minorities resulting in financial disaster. Finally, Obama said "white guilt has largely exhausted itself in America." p. 145, Audacity. That's funny because ignorant white guilt is the only reason Obama was elected.

Moderates, libertarians and conservatives d/b/a Independents and Republicans demand equal opportunity and the true definition of freedom. In contrast, communists, socialists and a handful of liberals d/b/a Democrats demand equal outcome regardless of effort, risk, talent, intelligence and other things that matter in a free world. Freedom, in their twisted minds, is misusing government to force other people to give up their property to others, usually themselves or fellow Democrats while the government skims off the top just like organized crime. Even though it is all about greedy redistribution to themselves or their fellow Democrats, they hide their greed and covetousness by arguing it is a moral obligation, which is comical since most Democrats lack even the most basic morals. Speaking of lack of morals, Democrats commit almost all violent crime in America. Take, for example, the fact that 96% of blacks voted for Obama and DOJ statistics show blacks commit 2/3 of all violent crime in America. Democrats have for decades been in the process of diluting the votes of Americans by importing ever more third world socialists and diluting the value of our property by printing more money and handing it out to Democrats in ever more programs. Democrats, and their control of government as organized crime, are public enemy No. 1 for Americans.

Using the Internet, we keep our members informed and give them ways to act on pressing issues facing Black people in America. We are united behind a simple, powerful pledge: we will do all we can to make sure all Americans are represented, served, and protected-regardless of race or class…Stop Glenn Beck’s race baiting…it’s repulsive, divisive and shouldn’t be on the air. ColorOfChange.org is powered by YOU—your energy and dollars…We can help keep Fox on the run, but we need your help. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps. Can you make a contribution today? Sounds to me like a solid organization; if you give them your money and stand behind their “making sure All Americans are represented…accept Glen Beck and anyone who would express free speech”, who by the way only stated the facts about what this administration is doing and who they are allowing to make decisions regarding our freedom. The fight here is not white or black, it’s about right verses wrong, and unrestricted governmental control and unchecked CZAR appointments is wrong no matter what color you are…Boycott the boycotters, I say…better yet, impeach Obama so we (all Americans) can retain freedom.

For those who do not watch conservative talk shows but comment on there far right agenda have no business making any judgement on them.
Glen Beck is not a far right nut nor is he supportive of any political party. He is however,an American who is not afraid of the truth unlike our elected officials.If you want to know more about his positions read his book "Common Sense" if you dare.
The person who said Republicans do nothing for the country but to it needs to look at past history. The Democrat's want to make us servants to the goverment through social change. Look at the effects of their polocies.
Get God out of our country,remove any national pride,let all kinds of smut on the air ways and movies,and trying to circumnent the constitution or,render it invalid all together.
I am not a member of either polotical party and I see how we are being divided along political,racial, gender and economic status.
Wake up and take back what is our heritage and rights.

Hey there lefties, what happened to that whole "freedom of speech" line you crammed down us when the Bush was in power. That it was patriotic to call him a Nazi and to have video games on how to kill the President of our county. Now I was not a Bush supporter, I was frightened by the Patriot act and the follow on act that did not pass (thank the deity of your choice). But now that its your guy in power the rest of us should shut up and sit down. Well screw you! As Hillary said and rightly so, it is patriotic to dissent. You only like free speech when you agree with it. I did not put my life on the line as an "evil interrogator" to be told to shut up. You can say your peace and I can say mine. And so can Glenn Beck, especially when I think he is wrong. Welcome to America, get used to it.

There are rights which it is useless to surrender to the government and which governments have yet always been found to invade.

Obama and black people in general are the most racist people on the planet. This Jones character is just further proof about Odumdo. I am a proud white man and am learning how to be a racist from the best.
Posted by: Rob George | August 25, 2009 4:04 PM
Why is Beck being castigated?
Anything that may have been considered derogatory was said by Van Jones himself!
I would have thought that any Obama appointee would be proud to state his political affiliation - socialist.

Pretty easy decision for me -
I'll simply boycott those companies who are attempting to silence Glenn Beck from asking the questions everyone else in the media is afraid to ask.
Buh-bye UPS and WalMart.

"During a six-minute biographical profile, set to ominous music, Beck said Jones was twice arrested for political protests and has described himself as a "rowdy black nationalist.'''
For sake of completeness, you might mention Van Jone's own quotes describing himself as a "communist revolutionary" and his own reasons for becoming a "green" proponent. Beck used Van Jone's writings, audio, and video to show Van Jones in his own words.
Obama told us during the campaign to judge him by who he surrounds himself with and takes counsel from. So stop with the knee-jerk defensive reactions, and take him at his word--who are his closest advisers? How much influence does someone who is a self-professed "revolutionary communist" have over our economy? Question what is happening to our constitutional system of checks and balances, and why congress is ceding power to the executive branch.
For the record, I am not a conservative nor a "progressive" (simply a nicer name for fascism) but a classical liberal in the spirit of our founders, who believes in individual liberties and limited government... abandoned by both major parties and now a registered independent.

People. Forget the left/right labels. Do you want the government handling the day-to-day details of your life? Yes or No? Has either party earned the respect or loyalty of the American public? I call myself a conservative libertarian. If I oppose Obama's policies it does not make me a racist. If you can step back and take an honest look at what has been going on in this nation for decades now...it is politicians of both parties detached from reality, lobbied heavily by special interests, serving their own interests. This is not a D or R thing...it is an elitist thing.
These kinds of dismissive ad hominem attacks create a rift that allows the elitists to stay in power and thrive. So, to all you bomb throwers....you suck. Groove on the irony!

If you don't like what someone on TV says, tell the advertisers to pull their ads and eventually the show will get dropped.
This is how it's supposed to work in a free market, right?
Posted by: Gary Burke | August 25, 2009 4:27 PM
any company wanting to boycott Beck has every right to. But Beck is right on the money about just about every issue.
The intelligent American public agrees with him. In fact, his ratings are higher than any other cable or broadcast news show's best.
The advertisers are cutting their throats. and no one cares. At the end of the day, we're still going to go with whoever we want in whatever business we want.
The only result of any of this will be fewer people thinking of UPS or whatever other advertiser that boycotts his show. And Becks' audience will increase.
God bless him. And screw all of you haters who only demonize freedom of speech and free thinkers. You should all be put to sleep or shipped to South Africa for a taste of the real world outside this great country. THAT's what Obama has in store.

The truth was told on Van Jones and the Obama followers can't handle it.
Your attempt to smear him for suggesting about Obama the same thing Obama suggested about his own grandmother (the white one that raised him) is ludicrous.

Glenn is informative unlike MSNBC which should not even be classified as a "News Show," but an agitprop session for socialist cadres and Communists like Van Jones. Beck investigates his topics so well, no wonder the left hates him, as he outs their dishonest agendas and slaps MSNBC & Corrupt News Network dimwits silly every day of the week. He is an enemy of the far left and nails them to the wall with his critiques of these perpetual bedwetting losers.

Most everyone has still managed to miss the fact that Beck is right about Jones. He has stated that he is a communist and not being a member of the group doesn't mean he has changed his views. Wake up and listen to the facts. Better yet wake up and do some research instead of taking the 30 second commercials as fact that got a senator voted in as president without a plan or experience.

Last night I was watching a program about Nat King Cole and how that even though he had a huge audience for his TV show, because of the racism in the US in the 1950s he couldn't get a sponsor, so he eventually ended the show. We've really progressed as a country; now sponsors are less likely to tolerate race-baiters like Beck.
Posted by: Luther Poach | August 25, 2009 5:06 PM
Reading through the comments I don't see anyone factually challenging any of the assertions made by Glenn Beck. The left calls for civil discourse and then calls him "mentally ill", "off balance", etc. If you want to discredit him why not use facts? Who is Van Jones? How does someone in two years go from being a radical to a member of the white house staff?
Posted by: Swamp Fox | August 25, 2009 5:09 PM
Well, isn't that funny, THE TRUTH HURTS and Beck tells it like it is. The only racist people speaking out or doing anything in the public eye right now are the black democratically inclined left winged looney tunes and Mr. Obama himself. I would call him president, but I believe that Rahm and his coharts are running this nation into the ground.
Posted by: pafaery | August 25, 2009 5:09 PM
BECK is reporting everything about Van Jones that I've found on this radical communist. Van Jones is to be thanked for helping to instigate the Rodney King riots. He is to be thanked for telling black people on juries to never convict a black man on trial. I saw him back during the OJ trials and I was so offended by him. I was living in LA during those riots where blacks went after white people and Asians. How can any white American deny any longer what is going on with ACORN, UNIONS, THE GREEN AGENDA -- it's all about huge transfers of wealth for reperations and for the rich elite. APOLLO Alliance is another shady organization that we can thank for the Stimulus Bill that no one in Congress or Obama read. Why? Because this was all planned before Obama took office! That's why they are trying to RUSH EVERYTHING THRU THE HOUSE. They were afraid that what has happened has happened -- the People now know what is happening in America. I am ready to march in the Revolution because I will not let some radical MARXIST SOCIALIST COMMUNIST PRESIDENT CHANGE MY COUNTRY! We can thank both Republicans and Democrats for this. I hope they rot in hell.

Back check what Beck has been saying for the last five years, and if you can pull your head out of your partisanship you will see he's been pretty accurate. It is not about race at all, it is about avowed socialists and communists, some of whom have engaged in violent riots, being "advisers" (Czars) to the POTUS. If the previous POTUS was creating Czars who report only to him with no Congressional oversight, every one posting here would be calling for impeachment.
Why aren't you now?
Posted by: cj | August 25, 2009 5:28 PM
It's amazing how liberals have no intellect. Beck does his research and reports the facts. He does not just run his mouth. Like the liberal media with no facts to back up what they what they state. Fox beats all cable news, CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the lefties, because Fox can back up what they say.
Mark in your acticle you don't even defend Van Jones because you can't.
Beck is speaking the truth.
Van Jones is not legitamate, our constitution does not have anything in it that says our government should have CZAR's. But then again liberals don't believe in the constitution, hence their lack of intellect.

Obama's autobiography (the book he wrote as a complete nobody when the U of C had commissioned him to draft a scholarly article instead) is nothing but a non-stop rant against white people.
Of course, Obama is a anti-white racist...like his wife.
The only whites he's ever chosen to associate with are those who bombed police stations and the Pentagon; i.e., fellow anti-American radicals and communists.
Glenn Beck is huge and his audience is only growing as Obama is exposed for the unAmerican fraud that he is.

I am so proud of Glenn Beck. No one else has the guts to expose this corrupt administration the way he continues to do. The only reason these companies are pulling their ads is because they are terrified that Obama and his henchmen will use their power to take over their respective companies . That alone should speak volumes to everyone as to how deep the corruption runs. Anyone who doesn’t realize this is purposely remaining blinded to reality.

I went to college with Van Jones at the University of Tennessee-Martin. He is best described as a self-absorbed, spotlight-hungry phony who is motivated only by the possibility of getting attention and being termed a radical. Nothing he does is motivated by the urge to right a wrong. But what do you expect of a college newspaper editor who hangs a poster of himself in the newspaper office? He was also quite nerdy in those days, much different than the faux macho man he attempts to pass himself off as.
Posted by: Sam | August 25, 2009 5:59 PM
"I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist."
-Van Jones' words. Not Beck's or anyone else's.
Listen, the Repubs are horrible and offered nothing for 8 years. Bush was an incompetent joke. The dems are showing what they're about now. People on both sides... stop being sheep!...and start holding your elected officials accountable. I voted for Obama because I thought he was a fresh alternative to the terrible Bush years, but that doesn't mean "he's my guy and now he can do whatever he wants and not be questioned. Anything Obama says is good.. anyone who questions it must be a racist??
You roll your eyes every time someone says he's a marxist...even though his background in college was all about that and he even talks about leaning towards marxism in his book.
You roll your eyes when someone says he wants to redistribute wealth, even though he tells it to our faces.. then we all laugh at the silly plumber who dare question him. ha ha ha... dumb hillbilly.
This man who we justifiably call an extremely intelligent man sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years, but never realized that that Wright had radical views. You dare call him a radical?? This is where you roll your eyes because some is dragging that ridiculous Jeremiah Wright thing out again.
Then someone comes out and says something so hateful as to call Van Jones a communist. Even though he himself is the one who told us that...and you roll your eyes. Roll your eyes, sheep. You are his bitch, and he needs you to be. Good bitch.
Say it with me.. "If you oppose, you must hate bros."

according to you? You are a narrow-minded kneejerk bigot and you know it. Your type wear white hoods even to church on Sunday and believe only while old men should have the right to vote, not women and certainly not blacks. You refuse to accept this last election and blindly buy into any bizarre conspiracy theory as long as it's anti-Obama.
Here's a little news for you: you folks lost the election, so quit your whining and childish name-calling and accept that the white old men in charge for the last 40 years have made a huge mess of things for a lot of people, except themselves of course and now it's time to fix things, starting with healthcare.

It's amazing how when libs can't argue any facts they scream RACIST! Dispute anything Beck reported about Jones.
"Jones has not been active with the group ifor nearly two years"
Really? David Duke hasn't been part of the KKK for quite some time, so you libs wouldn't bring that up if he ran for office again would ya. Nah.

Have most of you people even listened to Glenn Beck's program? I know that I used to trash him, because I didn't want to believe what he was saying was true, but I had never actually listened to his program. Finally, I decided to watch him on Fox and what he had to say SCARED ME TO DEATH, and I VOTED for Obama. (worst political mistake I've ever made!) Glenn Beck is not a hater. He makes his point by playing clips of what the various "subjects" actually said, in their own words. How can that be wrong? Wake up, America, and see and understand what is happening to our country! This is scary stuff!

There are no shortage of advertisers on Beck's show. Last night's ratings were at 2.8 million, up from 2.25 average this month. His ratings are infinitely higher than the timeslot last year. This boycott is having the opposite effect. Beck is getting more coverage to get his message out. Advertising revenue is going through the ceiling in a dog timeslot. Obambi is getting exposed. The lefties are too smart by half one more time. I laugh...

It is not surprising to me that UPS would pull their ads, as they are a fairly liberal organization. Every year during the Christmas Holidays UPS hires xtra people for the month of December and from experience I was interviewed by a lesbian in the Louisville, Ky facility. Of the approx. 10 interviewers i would estimate that 7 were gay, so needless to say since i was straight i wasnt hired.

Posted by: John Ross | August 25, 2009 6:33 PM
Gee you forgot to mention that all Beck did was ask the question "How a self avowed communist with no scientific or business background got to be the "Green Jobs" czar."- especially since he described his role as a community organizer in the government! I never even heard Beck talk about this other organization but he did talk about the APOLLO PROJECT which apparently wrote the stimulus bill for Harry Reid and Pelosi.
Tranparency anyone??? Don't look for too many good jobs from that!
You also failed to mention that Beck's comment about Obama was in light of his characterizing his own grandmother as a "typical white" person and calling the white cops stupid for ASKING an obnoxious black Ivy league professor to step outside of his house while they determined his identiy and if there was anyone else in the house!
Posted by: peteinny | August 25, 2009 6:36 PM
I get it anything the left says is fact and anything the right says is bull. Some of the companies that this boycott says cancelled ads on Beck have never advertised on the show. I think we should have an independent external audit of Beck's advertisers. Beck is the only one to take on Acorn and Van Jones. It is time we got the truth.

I'm seeing a lot of groundless, venomous attacks on Beck - must be because he is doing an effective job of bringing forth information that certain people want to cover up.
Posted by: A Bit of Thought | August 25, 2009 6:59 PM
Why doesn't the left just drop the charade and get "Rev." Al Sharpton, his bullhorn, and an angry mob outside of Fox News HQ? Al could shake them down, get a nice payoff, then walk into the studios and tell everyone about how he stood up to the "racists".....
GB is a target because he is asking questions the administration doesn't want to answer. Until there are clear, concise, logical answers to his questions, he will own the ratings.
What Clinton did for Limbaugh's career, Obama is doing for Beck's.

I don't think Fox will have any problem finding companies to sponsor Glenn Beck's show. In fact, I'm sure the waiting list is more than a few lines deep. CNN's ratings are in the tank. Last week Fox had the top six cable news shows. MSNBC came in #7 and #9. Larry King (aka The Michael Jackson Hour) was #8. Anderson Cooper was #10. CNN should change their tagline from "The most trusted name in news" to "the most least-watched name in news."
Posted by: Dakotas | August 25, 2009 7:15 PM
Glenn Beck must be telling the truth about Obama's associations for the libs to get so up in arms. Of course, the Sarah Palin bashers rise to the occasion. If anyone with a fair mind will watch his show and tell us where he is lying I will be glad to listen. Any of the information he is giving can be proven or refuted if one cared to delve into it. The left, however, does not spend much time around the truth so they don't know what to do when they hear it. As for Glenn saying Obama hates white people, Obama pretty much said the same thing in his book. His grandman is a "typical" white woman" to quote our president. What does that mean? I am a white woman.

To all you Kommi-crats, quoting your fearless leader "don't get all wee-weed up". By looking at all the rants and accusations here, I'd say that Beck must have hit a nerve with the left. And rightly so. All I can say is that I can't wait until the mid-term elections. First we start this year in NJ and Va to get rid of their crooked governors, then it's on to reclaiming the Congress (both houses) with substantial margins. Hey think of it this way; Pelosi couldn't get anything done last session. so why should this be any different.

I thank God every day for Fox News and Glenn Beck - they only true reporting going on in this country. I have been very involved calling these so called advertisers and in reality it is only around 10 and some of those are backing of their pledge to pull ads. Politicaly speech cannot be silenced in this country and we can't allow it. Color of Change is a racist, extremist, communist group that should be ignored at all costs. Certainly they have the right to say what they want, but we have the right not to listen and I will not listen.

Here's the cold hard facts from somebody in the industry (me). If Beck gets the highest ratings, he'll get the sponsors. Sorry liberidiots!

He goes after both sides and even says not to take his word for it, go look into it for yourself.
By the way, Van Jones has admitted to being a communist. So this isn't something made up.

When it was suggested in an interview that he sometimes sounds like a preacher, Glenn Beck responded, “No. You’ve never met a more flawed guy than me.” He added later: “I say on the air all time, ‘if you take what I say as gospel, you’re an idiot.”
Glenn got it right, basically if you believe what he says, your a dumb f*ck.

Even with this so called BOYCOTT... Beck is still number 3 on the ratings overall. Killing MSNBC, CNN, and a number of others combined.
The white house's tactics to use race as a club for anyone who criticizes Obama are failing nationwide.
As an independent voter, I am sickened by the disrespect and bullying tactics the far left and the Obama administration are using on common people. I will be more then happy to cast my vote in the "R" column...all the way through my ticket in 2010, and 2012...JUST FOR SPITE!

I do not find it a coincidence that every major talk show host who has been critical of Obama has been viciously attacked or threatened in one way or another. Even common American citizens protesting his health care bill have been characterized as Nazis and brownshirts..etc.
I find it very scary that Obama is being advised by communists of any kind.
His policies are unAmerican and socialist through and through.
As an independent voter, I plan to do something about it at the polls in 2010..and 2012.
I helped vote this bum in... and I am ashamed of that fact.
Now, I will help them out the door.
I hope many Americans feel as I do. Im no racist, no radical.

"""Mr. Beck,
The blood of our elected officials, our President, and the service men and women who are sworn to protect them, may very well someday be entirely on your hands, sir.
I curse you for the coward that you are. You are not willing to risk your lucrative career by directly telling people to take up arms against their representatives in our Government. Instead you reach out to the darkest, soulless, pit of hate that exists in our population where you sew your seeds of conspiracy and dissent. You are encouraged by the idea that maybe, just maybe, someone out there who is listening to your factless rants may actually act upon their baser instincts.
You won't be the man to pull the trigger. No. You will be the whisper in the ear of the man who does. Encouraging him. Emboldening him. You will be his heartbeat, his muscle, and his courage.
And when that terrible act is done, you will denounce it and seperate yourself from it.
Your future, Mr Beck, is sadly predicatable, and those of us who oppose you are going to be ring side to see it all, and we will NOT allow you to fall away into the shadows. You will be held acountable for these deeds sir. It is my only wish that your disgrace be a public one."""

Is this where we are now? You criticize the President and your job is threatened? I don't recall moving to Cuba, Iraq, Iran or Venezuela. EVERYTHING Beck said was based on facts-facts he backed up with evidence. Most of the things said about Vans CAME FROM HIS MOUTH. Beck just showed the tape. And trying to say that somehow this is in the past is a blunt lie told over and over again by this administration. Van has been repeating his radical views every chance he gets. He boasts about his multiple arrest and being a communist. Once again Obama is associated with a loon and the media gives him a pass. And since when do people get in trouble for suggesting someone else is racist? Sharpton does it all the time and he still has his pathetic radio show. The things Obama says and does leads one (including me-a black woman) to think he's racist. He has a chip on his shoulder and he's using the White House as a way to mend his daddy issues. GOD BLESS GLENN BECK AND PROTECTING HIM FROM THE COMMUNIST-LIKE MEDIA.

I knew the first time I saw Obama that he was bad news, and the Reverend Wright matter confirmed it. For those of you who do not know anything about preachers, if a man stood in front of my church and began his racist, hate white American vitreol, either I, or he, would go!! And to listen to him for 20 years means only one thing. You agree with him. The fact that the American people blindly, with no regard for his voting record or his background, wanted him to be their president and represent them before the world, is a clear commentary on where we stand as a nation. All the back and forth exchange above will not make up for the fact that more Americans voted for him than paid attention to the very obvious truth about him. What Glen Beck and men like him are saying should have been considered BEFORE making this would-be "messiah" our president. We may not make it, as a nation, to the next election!

Van Jones was a founder and leader of the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. The organization had its roots in a grouping of black people organizing to protest the first Gulf War. STORM was formally founded in 1994, becoming one of the most influential and active radical groups in the San Francisco Bay area.....
The leftist blog Machete 48 identifies STORM's influences as "third-worldist Marxism (and an often vulgar Maoism)."

Hmm, if you think what Beck said about Jones and forced sterilization is crazy you're going to love what one of Obama czars, John Holdren, wrote about the subject.
"The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries' shares within their regional limits.......
A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men........The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births."
- Ecoscience, 1977 by John Holdren, Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich.

Billy Mumy: No where in the Constitution is there a requirement or a right to health care.
The Constitution is a fundamental document, not a social engineering blueprint.
YOU are obligated to get healthcare ... if you choose. I am not obligated to provide health care to you, or even to myself.
You have the right to speak your mind against the government, within the grant of the First Amendment.
You don't have that right when it comes to non-governmental entities. Name-calling is not a protected right.
I took an Oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Those who fabricate new rights for themselves or deny existing rights to others are enemies to the Constitution, whether foreign or domestic.
Glenn Beck has done nothing to risk harm to our Consitutional beliefs.
Beck is on to something. Unvetted, unknown, unelected trolls in the Executive Branch with one-off Presidential powers DO risk harm to the Constitution and to the Republic.
All of the left-wing yay-hoos demanding health care as a "right" and threatening others if they don't get their way, are threaten harm to the Constitution and to the Republic.
Liberals who wet themselves poking everyone else in the eye because "it's your turn," will quickly learn that, in this game of musical chairs, their chair can be taken away.
I don't always agree with Beck, but he is a good man.

people need to self educate. If there is something that you aren't sure is true DO YOUR RESEARCH!! The czars of today were the "dictators" of the FDR administration. Except Obama has many more czars than FDR had. And it seems MANY of them have radical backgrounds.
Maybe some of you don't like the tone or execution of the information that Beck gives, but I dare you to find factual fault with it.
If you do, THEN a comment expressign such would be taken seriously.

I am most disappointed by WalMart withdrawing sponsorship of the Glenn Beck show.
WalMart was created by conservatives, and conservatives have built the company to be the lean, healthy giant it is.
Liberals do nothing but mock and criticize WalMart and mock conservatives who shop there. And then WalMart goes against their most loyal customers to run after the ones who hate them?
I promise you this, I am now boycotting WalMart. If all conservatives join me, WalMart will quickly decide who is on their side and what shows they should be supporting with their advertising dollars.

Glen Beck's political analysis is worth listening to. It is unique and very perceptive. Not only is he astute, but his style is very entertaining. He is one of the few people on TV I have the patience to listen to.
Posted by: EDR | August 26, 2009 12:56 AM
well, it may have been pointed out, as I have not read each reply. Obama appointed so many Czars to do n end around on the congressional vetting process. This was done intentionally, mostly, because the greater share of his Czars would not and could not pass the required FBI background check. Van Jones, is in his own words, a communist. If you can not understand that, then my friend, you are a moron. All Beck did was qoute Jones' own words, so therefore it was not an "attack". Color of Change, by thier design was a radical movement, in thier own literature it says they get thier inspiration from third world communist movements. So, you tell me how Beck is hating on anyone. If you want a commnist nation, move, we are a representative republic, and many in my family have died to preserve that, as will I .I think what America needs to do is pull it's collective heads out of our asses and grow a backbone. To all your left wingers out there that support anything Pelosi and Obama say....I am sure your forefathers are rolling in thier graves at what you want to do our great nation.

Anyone that says their is a right to health care then must also believe that the government must have the constitutional right to force you to buy insurance. That is their plan.

The story only focuses on the Color Of Change angle, that was just one part of Beck's informative Van Jones profile. What about jones' radical Marxist and communist background and current status? What about his partnerships with terrorists? All that makes Jones' Color of Change involvement look like kindergarten class and makes Obama look bad. And other communists are Obama advisers. Beck is asking valid questions - questions every American who cares about their freedom should be asking.
As for those companies pulling out advertising - Beck just helped finger the corrupt and the stupid for us - I'll be putting those companies on my boycott list!
Go Mr. Beck!

OK, just so I understand...because maybe I'm missing something; Non-viewers of Beck's show are being called on to....boycott his show. In the meantime, the publicity generated is increasing interest in his show. It is at once hilarious and dangerous to see the truth hit home regarding progressives. When the wheels come off they react like cornered animals. If Beck is so far out there and a plain idiot...get out of his way and let him hang himself....that is, unless he's on to the truth, then, of course, fight back.

Funny how Fox News has the best ratings on cable tv for almost everyone of their shows. MSNBC tries to be the "left" version of Fox News but Olberman and Maddow that both sound like weak immitations of O'Reily and Beck. They're both horrible. Complain all you want but there will ALWAYS be other company's that will advertise on Fox News regardless of the political discussion due to the fact that there ads will be viewed by a much larger audience. Seems to be the typical shakedown tactic used against every white man with a negative opinion of a black guy. It's a shame that when something like this happens the white man is to blame, what a double standard.
Posted by: WhiteMan | August 26, 2009 8:33 AM
Of all the anti-Beck posts I could stomach, one thing was noticably absent. A shred of evidence what he says is not true. Beck says it's his opinion and then plays direct, in context video to PROVE his point. He uses their own words, both past and present to bolster his argument. It's plain as the nose on your face and just as ignored by the frothing sycophantic mainstream media. Jone is a commie (his admission) and a twice jailed anarchist . The WH sidesteps the question and the MSM ignores it...oh and the sheep just baaaaah all the way to the slaughterhouse.

Why is what Glenn Beck talks about hate speech? He is simply asking the questions our biased media refuses to ask. Who are these people advising the President? Not important to you people out there? He just wants us to question that's all, not follow like sheep.

This is why Glenn is popular. I see a lot of folks here saying the government needs to help more. What you're saying is I need to sacrifice my middle class achievements, my right and my daughter's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and give it to someone else? No. Government needs to excuse itself from our lives and return to its intended & legal purpose. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security & our government is BROKE. Ask yourself why you don't feel people need to be responsible for themselves anymore. My paycheck is not eminent domain for government to take for their trickle-up poverty hopium schemes. This is America.

Someone made the comment .That since Obama is half black does he hate the Blacks as well as the Whites. If you have ever heard anyone say Obama is mixed let me know. I have only heard New media and others just comment that he black not mixed. I said this from the begginning He is Mixed not Black. I have three Grandchildren who are mixed. When signing them up for anything , we have to check the mixed box , because we are told they are both Black and White not just Black / and not just black. And this Jones guy, Glenn was just using his own words so how can that be racist. Come on people It's a sad day in America when using someone's own words againist them is raceist. Think about it. Obama is just trying to shut up anyone that doesn't agree with him.

Beck is a very passionate person when it comes to this country. He can be a little over the top sometimes but if you listen to the questions that he asks they are valid questions. Very seldom to you see him not show a video clip or print material to back up what he is talking about.
This country is slipping away from us and we need to get it back, now. But what I think is common sense seems to leave me and others in the minority. Personal responsibilty. If you want it earn it. Nobody should have to do it for you (unless you are under the age of three). Even my three year old understands this.

Sorry, you've got the name of the political party wrong "simply". The party that you're referring to that is riddled with "KKK, neo-Nazi and xenophobic thugs" is the Democrat party. In fact, look up the history of Democrat Robert Byrd. Here's a quote of his:
"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

I don't agree with all of his opinion, but he makes a powerful case in a lot of areas.
He's a Conservative Libertarian, not a Republican. I have seen NOBODY refute the FACTS he outlines. Sure, some are left out, but where is the counter? If what he says is indeed true, I feel scared for the future of this country unless we all wake up VERY SOON! I would hate to think I wasted 24 years of my life.

I have researched everything they have said and to my astonishment I have found they have been speaking the truth. Jesus said himself …"And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32. I took my pencil and paper and wrote the talking points down and researched them myself. Why is it if Black man scream racism there is no hoopla ( Shrapton, Jackson, Gates, and Holder)?

It is just too sad to see how completely brainwashed the majority of democrats are in this country. They spew the "party line" without really caring what that "party line" is. At least the Republicans held their politicians feet to the fire and kicked them out of office when they betrayed their voters principals and values. Until the democrats of this country stand up and take back their party from the radical, progressive, socialist left, the United States of America will be destroyed completely. Then our current President can be the socialist Dictator he is setting himself up to be. The sheep rarely see the wolf until it is too late.

Becks's idiotic comments have been refiuted. You knuckle draggers are just too stupid to understand waht you read, but I'll try again.
Does this sound like a Communist?
"We are entering an era during which our very survival will demand invention and innovation on a scale never before seen in the history of human civilization. Only the business community has the requisite skills, experience, and capital to meet that need. On that score, neither government nor the nonprofit and voluntary sectors can compete, not even remotely.
So in the end, our success and survival as a species are largely and directly tied to the new eco-entrepreneurs — and the success and survival of their enterprises. Since almost all of the needed eco-technologies are likely to come from the private sector, civic leaders and voters should do all that can be done to help green business leaders succeed. That means, in large part, electing leaders who will pass bills to aid them. We cannot realistically proceed without a strong alliance between the best of the business world —and everyone else."
Try to think for yourself and not just accept the radical right wing red baiting ravings of Glenn Beck as proven fact.
