This is how one doctor brought down Phil Donahue and got him off the air.

We could take a page from this and use it to our advantage. If nothing else, we could have a letter-writing campaign to those companies that dropped Beck. Telling them that if they're going to drop Beck, that we are dropping them and every, single one of their products. Of course, we should make it sound all patriotic and stuff, too. ;) I doubt it would take all that many letters to make them see the fiscal error of their ways.

Anyone game?

Nobody cares what the fake progressives say.

Beck's ratings are up over 100%.

Real progressives read TruthDig and stand with Nader, against Obama.

Well according to this black biased racialist (http://www.examiner.com/x-19673-Michelle-Obama-Examiner~y2009m8d10-Glenn-Beck-loses-advertising-because-of-black-blogs-complaints--is-Rush-Limbaugh-next), black socialist blogs were teaming up to send over 100,000 complaints (spam) to the Fox network.

Check it out here (http://http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/8/11/765159/-GEICO-pulls-its-ads-from-Glenn-Beck-show)

Apparently Geico has been the next to cave in and switch to other Fox News shows. There were four others a few days ago that came out against Beck. They are switching to other Fox News TV shows.

While Beck sometimes gets out there, at the same time he will host differing conservative views all at once and provides a media market and forum for libertarian ideas to be exposed to the general populace.

Beck has become a huge target. The left is working actively to get him removed. If you don't watch or listen to him then you'll never understand how f'kd up that is. He has 10 million viewers and listeners and he is opposed to what this administration is doing. He is the one who uncovered the ACORN scam. He shows the connections between the chosen Czars and communism, eugenics and more.

If you don't watch his show, then anything you say is uninformed.

Subject: Boycott FOX News Advertisers

FOX News has always been the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, willing to
twist facts and even lie to promote the Republican agenda.

But the election of President Obama in 2008 pushed FOX News into outright
hate-mongering and incitement of violence, which is intolerable in a democracy.

Tell FOX News advertisers to cancel their ads:
http://www.democrats.com/boycott-fox-news-advertisers

Here are some examples of intolerable hate speech and incitement to violence:

6/30/09 Glenn Beck agreed with guest who urged bin Laden to attack U.S. with nuclear
weapons.

7/25/09 Neil Cavuto and guest said health care reform will impose universal
euthanasia like "Soylent Green."

7/28/09 Glenn Beck said "The President has exposed himself as a guy .. who has a
deep-seated hatred for white people ... or the white culture... This man is a
racist."

8/6/09 Glenn Beck "joked" about giving Speaker Pelosi a glass of wine with poison.

We join with FoxNewsBoycott and other groups in this boycott, which is already
producing outstanding results. In the first week, 11 advertisers cancelled their FOX
ads: Campbell Soup, Chrysler, General Motors, Kellogg, Kraft Foods, Lawyers.com,
Nestle, Pfizer, Proctor & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, and Walmart. Read the
latest update from wikoogle.

Here are the advertisers who must cancel their ads (8/9/09): 60Plus.org, AARP
Insurance, Accu Chek Aviva, ADT Security, Ally Bank (allybank.com), Apple, Avodart,
Brita Filter, Broadbive Security, Conservatives for Patients Rights, Ditech
(ditech.com), Forex.com, Golden Corral, Healthy Choice, HSBC Life Insurance, Mens
Warehouse, Mercedes-Benz, Metastock, Nexium, Pepboys, Radio Shack, Rapid Wash, Red
Lobster, Sargento Cheese, Super8 motels (super8.com), Superior Gold Group, United
Healthcare Insurance, Wallstreet Journal, Weitz&Luxemburg

No that is not what he was implying.

I believe he was showing how in history this type of thing could lead to the use of eugenics. He was stating how if there were a crisis and there were to be a need for rationing of health care, eugenics could happen just as it did in the past.

And he has exposed one of Obama's advisors as a eugenics advocate. Apparently, Rahm Emanuel's brother (who is one of Obama's healthcare reform advisors) has proposed giving preferential treatment to people within the age range of 15 - 40. In the event of necessary rationing, the rest of us are screwed.

Yes, and when you put those two things together with the possibility of an upcoming economic crisis, things begin to look pretty bleak if everybody were stuck with government imposed health care.

Sure you can keep your own physician and insurance... at least for till your insurance company is pushed out of business by the government system or mandated to conform to more government regulations. It appears the new health care plan is just a foot in the door to the ultimate one payer system. Video from the past indicates Obama is for a one payer system and he even said it would take some years to accomplish that mission.

No, just because i've been watching the left slowly rising up against Beck (much of it is that the admins on the big leftie sites incite it, but some of it is also home-grown) and I've seen it grow online and take root in the progressive grassroots.

Besides, what publicity are they getting out of it? I haven't seen them get a lick of it. They can get much more encouraging people to take over town halls or propelling the tea party movement or any other plethora of ways to pull on the extremes of an echo-chamber.

I like that he does a lot of research (well, his excellent staff) on the things that he brings up, beyond just the GOP talking points. But he's said it himself, he wants everyone to come to the center...the land of comprimise and big TV and radio ratings. When socialism is creeping, sure he's great at calling it out...but when freedom is the extreme of the day he'll attack that as well, which is what he did when he saw Ron Paul gaining any sort of popularity. Because heaven forbid, someone like Ron Paul should lead us away from the center and toward the Constituion.

You are treating him like he is treating us...the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Just remember that when the time comes and the enemy is no longer the main threat of the day...we will be his main threat of the day.

Glenn Beck ignores all of the stuff about freedom and immediately starts attacking us as traitors and terrorists because we support someone who doesn't want to attack other countries.

Elwar I completely agree about that old clip being a low blow against us. Since then, Beck has has Ron Paul on his show countless times, interviewed Rand Paul on his radio show, had Campaign for Liberty supporters on, let Judge Napolitano turn his show into Freedom Watch when he guest-hosts, had Michael Scheuer on (Paul's former foreign policy adviser) and has even admitted himself he's leaning more toward the libertarian view of war policy (though he's got a long way to go).

The last few shows I've watched with him, he's been blasting the left with both barrels and their bologna.

It will be a net-loss to spreading the message if the left forces Beck off the air.

I just don't trust Glenn Beck. He has been in the business for over 30 years and now all of a sudden when it's too late he supports libertarians?

The Ron Paul campaign did one thing for us...it showed us who our friends are. And Glenn Beck isn't on that list.

Are you always so harsh and unyielding with everyone who pisses you off or does you wrong? I believe in forgiving people if they are genuine in their repentance. Beck has evolved. Dr. Paul's message got through. It's obvious that it has. Is he another Dr. Paul? Oh hell no! Is he helping us get the message out? HELL YES!

Glenn Beck ignores all of the stuff about freedom and immediately starts attacking us as traitors and terrorists because we support someone who doesn't want to attack other countries.

It might look something like this:

YouTube - Glenn Beck implies Ron Paul supporters are terrorists (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rc4OJWH1nE)

Strawman video. get with current information and watch Beck once and awhile.
You'll find him on Fox now.

What libertarian principles has he talked about?
Auditing the Fed:
YouTube - Beck: Fed undergoing legalized counterfitting, needs audit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMum0LO_ZF0)
Abolishing the Fed:
YouTube - Glenn Beck: The Fed needs to be shut down (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm3QRPy3Qaw)
Beck on voting for libertarians (Oct '08):

GLENN: Boy, coming from a libertarian Republican. That's what you need to be voting for. Boy, you could say that again. It's time for the libertarians to really start taking a hold, choking the bat snot out of those votes in congress.

He also wants to dismantle the American empire (though slowly), there was a youtube video but it's gone now

I thought that comment was idiotic. But he isn't the only one who believes that Obama has resentment toward the white community. Obama's misinformed statement at his press conference re: the cop and the professor was also idiotic and it revealed a lot about him. Like it or not.

To claim that Obama is racist is idiotic. This is why Beck is in the trouble he is.

Beck's show today was pretty good. Lots of Federal Reserve talk.

To claim that Obama is racist is idiotic. This is why Beck is in the trouble he is.

Nah, he's definently a racist. He supported Gates without question. And from the story I've heard, gates was acting childish and refusing to show his ID.

Plus like I said before-- Obama never condemned the attorney general's comments calling Americans a nation of cowards on race issues.

Why is it idiotic? Blacks can't be racist? Or just Obama can't be, because he's half white? :confused:

Really? Did you pull that out of your ass or was your head in the way?

Here's Obama's mouthpiece giving a different version of reality, I've got more if this isn't entertaining enough.

Gates is his friend, and the cops did act stupidly. They arrested a man in his own home. That's BS.

Have I ever said that blacks can't be racist? No - in fact I've condemned racist blacks on this forum. I happen to know some very racist black people that are Nation of Islam. Obama ain't one - his record speaks for itself.

Perhaps. But the cops still acted stupidly.

hah I'll give you credit, you are the jedi master of thread de-railers.

I happen to agree with you that the cop acted stupidly. He should have just swallowed his pride and let that douchebag socialist professor scream at him on his lawn.

I'm 100% on topic. Beck was out of line, now he's suffering for it. Free markets and all that.

He could have easily attacked Obama on the issues and avoided the entire "Obama hates white people" nonsense and been fine.

Glenn Beck has said some really stupid things, but I think he is a good guy who is coming around. It isn't just propoganda, if you watch his show you can tell the guy does his research, he digs deep into issues that no one else even touches.

He is digging up great info about healthcare that no one else is touching. Beck is the one who is continually bringing up Emanuel's quotes about healthcare rationing, no one else on TV but Beck is doing this.

And he is 100% against the Fed, he has talked about ending our empire slowly over 30 years, he has talked about possible legalizing drugs, and he has at times talked about how he now feels uneasy about the Patriot Act.

Also, about a week ago he had Schiff on and said "god bless you sir", and today he had Rand on and said that "i feel you are one of the few politicians I can trust". So he seems to be embracing folks like Rand and Peter. He is actually having libertarians and true conservatives on his show.

Sure he is eccentric, and sometimes he says stupid things, but I don't see why we can't give the benefit of the doubt to Beck.
