Taking aim at Glenn Beck ... contact the sponsors

While Don Imus has said many offensive things, he is not alone in doing so. Glenn Beck has truly said some hateful things, particularly in regards to Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress. So, maybe complaining to Beck's sponsors on CNN might be a good step.

I can't claim credit for the idea, or the research, which was done by Antirepublican and first posted at

Glenn Beck

Philadelphia-based radio and television host Glenn Beck's career began after he won a radio station contest at 13. After working for several years as a disc jockey, Beck got his own daily talk radio show, The Glenn Beck Program, in 2001 and is currently syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks to nearly 250 stations nationwide as well as XM Satellite Radio. In 2006, Beck made the jump to television, hosting the prime-time program Glenn Beck on CNN Headline News. Beck joined ABC's Good Morning America as a regular contributor in January 2007.

Beck is famous for spouting controversial and inflammatory comments against Democrats, Muslims, Arabs, Mexicans, and female guests on his radio and television programs. Beck has called President Jimmy Carter a "waste of skin," Mexican immigrants "dirt bags" and "lawbreakers," Katrina victims "scumbags," Cindy Sheehan a "prostitute," and suggested using nuclear weapons against parts of the Middle East and Venezuela.

During a November 14, 2006, interview with Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim elected to Congress, Beck said to the congressman: "What I feel like saying is, 'Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies." (Beck later apologized for what he said was a "poorly worded question.") On his shows, Beck repeatedly belittles the Muslim faith by mocking Muslim names and through actions such as "mark the death" of Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi with a "Zarqawi bacon cake."

But somehow we don't give a damn about THOSE victims.

To my mind, the only way that I can protect my rights in society and demand that I be treated with dignity is do do so for others. Also, I think that Beck's remarks about Ellison and Muslims are unconscionable.

Give everyone the links so all one has to do is just click through.

Done and Thanks Chicago Will

that no anti religious remarks are allowed on DU.

Now that we got Imus we can move on - get rid of Beck and then Hannity, and we all know how many hateful things Rush has said, and Ann Coulter and so on and so forth. I mean now that we've shown our power in getting rid of Imus the obvious next step is to eliminate the false and pernicious doctrine of Conservatism from our airwaves. Never forget they are the people's airwaves; not the corporations.

I know some weak-kneed pansies might decry this as an attempt to silence free speech. What idiocy. The first amendment only protects against government interference; it says nothing about our right as citizens to silence people we don't agree with. Glenn Beck has said some nasty things and he needs to pay, and after him, Hannity, Rush, Coulter; the list goes on and on. Eventually it is my vision that we create airwaves where only the truth of liberalism is broadcast.

Look at it this way, right now the airwaves are polluted by hateful racism and conservatism; it's like a lake that is full of toxic chemicals. We are all swimming in water that has been polluted by Beck, Limbaugh, and others. How long are we going to continue swimming in this filth. How long are we going to let our children, our friends and family swim in this filth. No! We must clean the lake of anything flithy or degrading, like Beck. Like Limbaugh. Like Coulter.

At any rate, you can pretty much take it as read that anybody foolish enough to defend Becks or Limbaugh's ability to poison the lake with their filth is probably in their camp. Nobody would defend a monster like Beck if they weren't on their side.

Thank goodness many of us are seeing the light; I look forward to the day when we get rid of not only the LImbaughs and the Becks, but the Novaks and Wills and anybody foolish enough to express an wrong and evil opinion.

Thank you.

... 95% of the liberals, so yeah, it's our turn.

Don't like it, tough titty.

but if you take away the lies and the hate speech conservatives would have nothing left to say.

I've been horrified by the things this man has gotten away with saying for a long time. I'm even more horrified that he's on HLN, not Faux.

Thanks for the easy method to make my voice heard on this topic. I emailed all the advertisers that you linked. Great going!

As I mentioned over at the thread on the http://unfilterednewsnetwork.com/phpBB3/index.php">Unfiltered News Network messsage boards, we may have no luck with the FCC and other regulatory bodies during the Bush administration. However, companies will respond to pressure. Remember, there are often many paths to the same goal. I do not think that we should treat people with disrespect over their faith, their race, their nation, their gender, or sexual orientation. If we criticize people, let us go by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s approach of judging people by the content of their characters, the quality of their ideas, and by their action. Any other standard is unworthy of the humanity that is within each of us.

most importantly, he portrays himself (and CNN lets him get away with it) as a fair-minded moderate who leans conservative "for moral reasons"

unless they drop their sponsorship of hate media. I'll be contacting them to let them know.

Might be some good stuff you can use?

I'm working on it! :D

you hit the trifecta, will_in_chicago :kick::hi:

:toast:

The guy is poison....

use their products or services to begin with?

While I've stayed in one Doubletree, I don't make it a regular habit and I don't purchase anything from anyone on the rest of the list.

Just wondering.

to support hateful speech. I think this is our golden opportunity to take back the airwaves from these people and, to do this, we have to speak in a language they all understand, the language of the bottom line.

The right wingers have declared war, as they have sown, so let them reap.

nothing like a little activism to burn off some of the outrage

Thanks in advance. :-)

So far I haven't heard back from anyone...

Here is the link to AA's contact page.

them. Let's all get on this. O'Reilley is next; he is slime on the bottom of a rock. And then the biggest fish...Rush.
