2. We care because he is inciting the astroturfers. We care because
he is using public airwaves to gin up hate against Obama and anyone who doesn't toe their line.

We care because sometimes, enough is enough.

It's not just a laughing matter any more.

6. Every one should care.
As long as the "idiots" like Beck keep getting the "nuts" worked up, there is going to be trouble, and if it keeps up someone is going to get killed! Limbaugh, Beck, and the rest of the morons on talk radio are using "hate" to get people angry, and that anger is going to explode if something is not done. These idiots "want" trouble, and they will sit back and keep encouraging it in their safe studios where they are protected. They don't give a damn about the violence and when someone gets killed they will use that to try and paint "liberals" as the bad guys. Beck is trying to outdo Rush in the insane department, and I am afraid that Beck doesn't know when to stop.

10. Glenn Beck is full of hate for Obama. He advocated last week on his show to put poison
In Ms. Pelosi's wine.

4. Why get him off the air?
He provides plenty of video evidence of how unhinged the right wing is.

7. I'll gladly write to these companies. Many thanks!
Edited on Fri Aug-07-09 02:04 PM by onestepforward
Procter & Gamble have already pulled their ads. It wouldn't hurt to send them a "Thank you" note though!

8. I contacted the ones I actually do business with
own a small amount of P&G stock, so I gave them both barrels.
I think sometimes the ad departments just look at ratings without checking what kind of program it is. They need a reminder.

21. F.Y.I., P&G claims their ad contract specified "No Glenn Beck"...
but that their ads were run during his show anyway.

17. I sent this to UPS
I will never use UPS until you stop Glen Beck from being a racist!

I have sent my entire email contact list this email and I have told them to pass it on and to keep it going until I hear the UPS will not sponsor the program of an out and out racist!

Now I will locate the emails of their other sponsors
