Well last night I managed to jott down a few companies I saw being advertised between the commercial breaks for the Chris Matthews Hardball show. Ironically this show also kept continually implying Joe Wilson & 9/12ers were racially motivated. Are the sponsors who advertise on the show supporting this extremist viewpoint? Perhaps we should write a few e-mails, letters, & send a few phonecalls asking them why they are advertising on a television program which accuses Conservative radio hosts, protestors, Joe Wilson, etc.. of being racially motivated. Hmm..

So again please write to these companies and ask why Chris Matthews keeps playing racial politics for Obama's benefit:

I wrote them in that thread too :D. Actually I don't think this is all the sponsors so I'm going to try to cetch the Hardball replay tonight @ midnight and try to find some more.

PS: Watching Hardball yesterday only encouraged me more to do this, since he dedicated his whole show to accusing 9/12'ers & Joe Wilson of being racially motivated. And now apparently he accused Rush Limbaugh of being a racist on his TV show today. Enough is enough.

By the way, just checking DefendGlenn.com and found some very interesting news...

Apparently several of the companies I listed not only participated in the boycott of Beck but ALSO vowed to NOT run ads on MSNBC.


Kraft
Said NO advertising on ANY talk shows
Clorox
Said NO advertising on ANY talk shows
State Farm
Said NO advertising on ANY talk shows
S.C. Johnson
Said NO advertising on ANY talk shows
Procter & Gamble
Said NO advertising on ANY talk shows

Write to these sponsors and get them to drop Hardball.

Nice work Flash. Each will get a letter from me. I don't use any of those products but I promise to discourage everyone else from using them.

Good idea.

Lou Dobbs is the one of the only consistent pundits on cable news.

Why doesn't everyone love him?

Oh, because he doesn't go out of his way to create controversy and doesn't try to make his show an actual circus show(see Beck). He actually reports the news.

The only thing I don't like about his show is the fact he's only on it for 30 minutes. I always wondered why the first half hour of his show is filled with reporters.

I'm stilled annoyed at Lou Dobbs not talking about Ron Paul more durring his 2007 campaign. More recently he has had Schiff & Wayne Allyn Root, but it was on his radio program only.

I like Dobbs. I record his show every day.

Well I sent this boycott list to a number of Conservative forums. I wonder if any sponsors dropped hardball yet.

I think everyone should go to Men's Warehouse, take a long long time selecting multiple items - EXPENSIVE items - then get to the counter, allow them to ring it all up...and just as you are just about to hand over your credit card....say....

"You know, I just realized ... you're one of the stores that decided to boycott Glenn Beck, aren't you?

Big Mistake."

And walk out.

:D

As a libertarian, I see no reason to insert myself in the faux squabble which exists between the media representatives of either the Democrats or Republicans.

It's all just a big dog and pony show and none of them are dedicated to furthering the liberties of the people.

Olbermann & Matthews continue to play the race card which is setting an example for the youth of Obama to accuse anyone who opposes his policies of being a Neo-Nazi. Using the race card in this way is highly inappropriate and could even be dangerous. If you're taught to hate 'racists' and the talking heads on TV are telling you Republicans are racist then who knows what could happen.
