How long until Glenn Beck loses his facade from all the stress of the boycott and says “niggers” or starts talking about the “extinction of the white race” on air? I give ‘em three months, max.

This is great.  Sunshine is the best disinfectant.  *Has Beck whined about how his Freedom of Speech rights being attacked yet? I give it a month.
*Amazing how miscontrued the First amedment is.

I give him three weeks Ben D. You are an optimist

1) The advertisers know that money is money first of all but I think they just may be smart enough to not want to alienate the much larger group of white people with brains who do not like Beck.

2) Why oh why does that sh#@bag live on to spout hate on TV when Teddy Kennedy is about to be buried? Is there no justice?

And one more thing, if the racists have called a counter boycott and won’t be dragging their sorry carcasses into any of Beck’s former advertisers, than I am about to make my first trip to Walmart.

Really, can anybody think of a day when Glenn Beck should be mentioned LESS than today?

Is there a list somewhere of which companies pulled their ads? I want to go buy their stuff now.

What I want to know is, when Beck finally addresses this issue on-air, will he start blubbering?

Glenn Beck: the poor (white, ignorant) man’s Howard Beale.

Good on the advertisers—I wasn’t aware of this boycott since I consider cable news a waste of time (in no small part due to pundits like Beck).

The list of companies participating in the boycott includes:

ConAgra Foods
Procter & Gamble
Walmart
GMAC Financial Services
Best Buy
CVS
Travelocity
State Farm Insurance
Broadview Security
Progressive Insurance
Roche
Sanofi-Aventis
Radio Shack
Men’s Wearhouse
Lawyers.com
Sargento

BadKitty,
Are those companies that are still advertising on Beck, or that have pulled their ads?  I want to know which companies are still advertising there so I can boycott them, but I certainly don’t want to watch Beck’s show to find out.  I’d also like to know which companies pulled their ads so I can give them extra business.

Last I’d read he was down to cable bottom-feeders like Extenze.

In the last month, I’ve heard liberal praise of Wal-Mart while liberals are also advocating a boycott of Whole Foods! Meanwhile, the wingnuts and Freepers are swearing they will never shop at Wal-Mart again while promising to patronize Whole Foods.

Just when I think I have this country all figured out….

Heh, I’m glad people have figured out that Whole Paycheck is a corporate co-opting of liberal values.  Liberalism Theater.

Oh, btw, he’s already whining about how the guy who started Color of Change is a “revolutionary leftist” and a “thug” (read: “uppity negro”) and whining about how he is in the Obama administration now without mentioning the boycott. Saw it on KO last night.

catgirl, that list consists of companies which have already pulled their advertising from Beck’s show.

In the last month, I’ve heard liberal praise of Wal-Mart while liberals are also advocating a boycott of Whole Foods!

Considering the anti-labor practices of Whole Foods, documented for years, I wonder why there was ever any left-wing praise of Whole Foods… except if we suppose that belief in woo with regard to foods is supposed to be an inherent part of a left-wing programme.

I’m still stumped on liberals praising Wal-Mart though.

I never cared for Whole Foods, always called them Yuppie Foods. Overpriced as hell, all image. Of course for a liberal I’m pretty gauche about food, shopping at Kroger’s and liking McDonalds as a guilty pleasure.

Wal-Mart still sucks, but it’s rather amazing that they pulled their ads from Beck.  They should be encouraged everytime they decide to be slightly responsible.

Most of those advertisers have NOT pulled their ads from FOX.  They buy blocks of time and their ads are portioned out during the day.  They have requested that their alreadypurchased ads do not run during Beck’s program.

FOX hasn’t lost money on Beck.  He’s drawing attention, and any publicity is good publicity, so expecting him to be fired is a pipedream.

Expecting him to be exposed as a Klanner?  He’s always sounded like one to me.  It’s coming.

How long until Glenn Beck loses his facade from all the stress of the boycott and says “niggers” or starts talking about the “extinction of the white race” on air? I give ‘em three months, max.

Oh hell, FOX commentators already have the “save the white race” one covered.  One of them came right out and made the statement that white people need to breed because they are being outbred by minorities.

I have a tiny hope Wal-Mart will change their stance one day on Unions and wages. Ford used to be virulently anti-union, too, and finally gave in in the ‘40s.

In the last month, I’ve heard liberal praise of Wal-Mart while liberals are also advocating a boycott of Whole Foods! Meanwhile, the wingnuts and Freepers are swearing they will never shop at Wal-Mart again while promising to patronize Whole Foods.

In the case of Wal-Mart, all I can say is that one act of good doesn’t cancel out countless acts of bad.

That said, I commend Wal-Mart for pulling their advertising from this shitstain’s show.

Having had to accept a job at the Evil Em… “World’s Largest Retailer that happens to have a blue logo” this at least helps assuage my conscience just a bit. Beggars can’t be choosers in this economy and a full-time job offering doesn’t generally fall in my lap. Plus I really am meeting some nice people I’ll be working with when the store opens.

I AM looking forward to the volunteering program. Work so many hours for a non-profit organization and they are supposed to make a donation to the group. I specifically asked if a group can be denied if they don’t always fall in line with the company’s political leanings (I was kind of pissed to see that Boy Scouts of America has gotten quite a bit of funding) and I was told as long as it’s a non-profit… so my Planned Parenthood volunteering just might pay off money-wise to the organization too.

It’ll be pretty funny when some rural or small town “Real American”(TM) winger decides to boycott Walmart and suddenly realizes that there aren’t any other retailers in town because Walmart drove them out years ago- with said winger’s full support because hey, free market!

RobW,
Often, Walmart was what allowed those red staters to be able to afford enough cloths for their kids not to spend 3 nights a week at a laundry mat. 
The Walmart of the 1980s did a lot of good for people in smallish western/midwestern cities.  Often, they were the only store that would hire full time, not have the majority of its sales folks work for commission (Sears anyone?) or offer any benefits to anyone but store owner family members.  And costs?  Yeah, my kids got many things they wouldn’t have back when I couldn’t afford local store prices, and hated the local store strangle hold on content to local standards and tastes as well as limiting to nothing we might not be able to sell all of this week.  They always had a made in America option available if one existed (though it was usually more expensive). 
Even so, the only store they put out of business in the town I lived in at the time was the small, mismanaged K-mart.  Sears was already dying and JC Penny survived quite nicely.
And Bentonville?  Could you imagine the economic state that would be in today if they didn’t have Walmart?  Not to mention the rest of Arkansas, which frankly can use all the help it can get.
Yeah, Walmart hasdone some pretty bad things.  Yes, I usually shop elsewhere now that I can afford to do so. 
Name a for profit corporation that hasn’t done bad things, especially once it’s gone public or gotten so big.  Name someone with too little money to get their kids’ school supplies at or get hired by the local drug store (the usual other option for those rural and small town folks) who wasn’t happy to see Walmart move in.  I’d really like to know if there are any.
