Glenn Beck's 912 Followers Threaten Boycott of Advertisers Who Drop Beck

Posted by Tana Ganeva, AlterNet at 1:00 PM on August 18, 2009.

Beck's 912 website has started a petition to counter the Color of Change protest.



Glenn Beck's Fox Show continues to hemorrhage corporate sponsors. Yesterday eight more companies, including retail giant Wall Mart, dropped sponsorship of Beck's program. That makes over 20 companies that have pulled their advertising from Beck's show in the past 2 weeks, after a Color of Change petition urged advertisers to cease sponsorship of Beck's program when the talk show host said Obama had a "deepseated hatred for white people".

Rather than apologize or stop spewing divisive hate speech, Beck seems to be responding by tapping his vast, creepy army of "912" followers to wage a counterprotest.

In an email obtained by AlterNet today, an administrator of the website calls on "fellow patriots" to:



A link takes the passionate Beck supporter to a 912 petition site. The top left-hand corner features a drawing of some guys in Revolutionary garb, so you know whatever follows is good for freedom and America, and bad for socialism and whatnot. Here's what follows:



Now, no matter how much steam it gathers, the petition is certainly not going to un-spook advertisers into un-dropping Beck. Big advertisers avoid controversy that could sully their brand, and the prospect of being associated with Beck's fringe 912 coalition -- whose local chapters have been linked to violence in town halls, among other unsavory, mainstream-alienating activities -- will certainly not inspire a surge of advertiser support for Beck.

But, it's also pretty obvious that Fox would lose some pretty serious cred with the crazies if their efforts to muzzle Beck are too obvious, and this petition may serve as a reminder of that.

No WAY they pick Beck over Wallyworld. They LOVES them some shoppin for cheap crap.

Hell, I might just go park at the local Walmart and wait for someone with a 9/12 or tea baggin bumper sticker just so I can shame them about "breaking faith" with dear leader.

him from farther up than the others. MUCH farther up from the others.

Will they NOT be effective since normal people outnumber Beckrazies...

BUT ALSO:

Replacement advertisers will be afraid to sign up with Beck for fear of getting attacked by both sides should they stay or should they go...

:rofl:

Never misunderestimate teh power of stooped..

:rofl:

the more his supporters speak out, the nuttier he starts to look, even for Fox. He's on holiday right now, though. And lost more than 20 advertisers already. He might come back to his own CB radio station that reaches people within a radius of twenty feet.

Good riddance!

We'll see who has more clout: The folks pressuring corporate America to quit endorsing Beck's craziness or the crazies pressuring corporate America to sign on to Beck's craziness. If they had an ounce of self-awareness at all, this kind of beating would leave some psychic scars on them. Glenn Beck: The extra "n" is for "knowledge"!

Isn't it time to go after the rush limbough radio advertisers. time to stop all of the hate talkers..on radio and tv. I know radio ads are mostly local, but hey, there must be a way.
