1. When IS enough enough?
I agree. He's fueling the basest, most violent element of the right wing.

2. Boycott his sponsors:
That means let his advertisers know you won't buy their products or shop in their stores.

Stay away and boycott Chrysler; Pfizer; GM; Walmart; Kraft; Campbells, Geico , Kellogs and
Proctor and Gamble

5. Sign this petition to the advertisers. It is working.
Here is the actual website trying to get Glen Beck off TV:

Three advertisers drop Glenn Beck	Updated at 11:25 AM
	
Edited on Thu Aug-06-09 11:08 AM by cal04


Last week, Fox News host Glenn Beck called President Obama a
“racist” with a “a deep-seated hatred for white people.” In
response, ColorOfChange called on its members to tell Beck’s
advertisers to drop his show over his race-baiting.
ColorOfChange announced today that three advertisers have said
that they are dropping Beck:

Three companies who run ads during Glenn Beck —
NexisLexis-owned Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble and
Progressive Insurance — today distanced themselves from Beck.
LexisNexis has pulled its advertising from Beck and says it
has no plans to advertise on the program in the future. Both
Procter & Gamble and Progressive Insurance called the Beck
advertising placements an error that they would correct.


The decision by the three companies comes as over 45,000
ColorofChange.org members call on advertisers to pull their
ads from Glenn Beck after the controversial news host called
President Obama a “racist” who “has a deep-seated hatred for
white people” on “Fox & Friends” last week.

6. If I were Pelosi I would call him to tell him I like his lil game.
Now it's my turn to play. You only have access to the F-O-X. I have access to the C-I-A. Guess what they put the poison in? Is it something in your home? Something at work? Is it something that's otherwise harmless you buy at the store that mixes with something at home or work? If you try to play the game on the safe side. Is that Doctor REALLY a Doctor? Did you actually see them run the tests before telling you they were negative? Is that REALLY "medicine" to help you with your paranoia? I guess we'll find out soon enough if that's REALLY a black fly in your Chardonnay.



:rofl:

11. Man this guy is crazy!


I can't believe a former very close work colleague of mine who got laid off at the same time actually works for Premiere Radio Networks now and actually had a long personal interview with this Beck before starting there. He rationalizes that he also works on Randi Rhodes' web pages, etc. as well, but I don't think I could deal with an interview like that! I'm waiting for better things!

12. A racist terrorist.
How is he different from StormFront -- oh yes, at least they're a bit more up-front about their lunacy.
