Michigan Chamber Of Commerce Embraces Glenn Beck, Invites Him To Be A Keynote Speaker
Michigan Chamber Of Commerce Embraces Glenn Beck, Invites Him To Be A Keynote Speaker
On his Fox News show this past Wednesday, right-wing extremist Glenn Beck claimed, “The uber-left is in business with big business.” But next Tuesday, Beck is keynoting a U.S. Chamber of Commerce forum in Michigan sponsored by several major corporations, including AT&T, Comcast, and Dow Corning.
Although Beck’s race-baiting and McCarthyism have led a massive advertiser boycott of his Fox News program, the largest business lobby in the United States has chosen to embrace him as the “dinner keynote speaker” for the 2009 “Future Forum” at Michigan State University’s Kellog Forum on September 15th:
Beck has called President Obama a “socialist,” a “Marxist,” and a “racist” with a “deep-seated hatred of white people.” It may not come as a surprise that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, with its right-wing agenda of blocking health care reform, clean energy legislation, and workers’ rights, is embracing Glenn Beck’s hate and fearmongering.
Tomorrow, Beck is broadcasting live on Fox News from Washington D.C. to promote the “9/12 Project,” Beck’s tearful mobilization against “socialism.” The 9/12 march is bankrolled by right wing organizations such as the Competitive Enterprise Institute, FreedomWorks, the National Taxpayers Union, and GrassFire.org. These front groups are themselves backed by ExxonMobil, Koch Industries, HealthFirst, and other corporate titans who aim to maintain their windfall profits under the status quo.
The top sponsors of the Michigan event are Comcast, AT&T, and Consumers Energy. AT&T is on the board of the Chamber of Commerce but has pulled its ads from Glenn Beck’s show. Other Chamber members who have stopped advertising on Beck — but are giving him a platform in Michigan — include Aegon, CVS, State Farm Insurance, and UPS.

Shows you how far chimpy’s dictatorship reached…well, that’s over now and it’s time to move on..SOOOO, I vote we get the Gov. to have the state police at the front door of the meeting hall and have beck arrested when he arrives – insightment is the charge – prison on chimpy’s farm in crawford is the punishment.

September 11th, 2009 at 4:11 pmWhy does this not surprise me.
We need to bring more light to the corporations and the wealthy who are bank rolling these hate filled people and so called grass roots demonstrations. If the public knew who was really behind all this, behind Beck, and behind the others who are sowing hate, there will be a backlash.
We should start to boycott any and all business that backs these people.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:12 pmI don’t see how Beckism helps business at all. Of late, the USCC seems to be drifting pretty far from serving their members’ interests in any way.

September 11th, 2009 at 4:29 pmI wonder how the chamber would react if some people stood up in the middle of beck spiel and shout out YOU LIE YOU LIE
then sit back down wonder if they would say thats rude of you or escort you out.
thinking they would not be able to see the humor in that.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:29 pmThe only place Becky is going is off the air. Didn’t I just hear that he’s up to 63 former sponsors? Trust me, Rupert and Roger won’t continue a show that has no sponsors.

I find it hard to believe that Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990. I mean, it’s not like there’s any compelling evidence that Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990. Still, if a lot of people are asking questions about the controversy over whether Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990, then I suppose the discussion regarding this allegation (that Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990) is in the public interest. But I’ll stay out of it for now until I see any information either for or against the controversy regarding whether Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990.

September 11th, 2009 at 5:07 pmComcast does a pretty scum thing in the way the do their channels on cable systems. They put Fox on the low channels so you can get it with basic cable, but MSNBC is on the higher channels and you have to pay extra for those channels. Families that want an range of choices but are budget sensitive get screwed by having no choice but Fox, while the rest get screwed by having to pay more. This kind of stuff does have an impact on political discussion.

Could you elaborate?
What meaning do you draw from these numbers (which, I notice, are unsourced — they could very easily be conjured up from your rich imagination)?
Do you hope to suggest that ratings success for Faux News programs demonstrates a triumph of a conservative message in the marketplace of ideas?
September 11th, 2009 at 5:09 pmOur friend “Says Who” doesn’t seem to be able to tell the difference between an ADVERTISER boycott and a VIEWERSHIP boycott.
Not really a surprise, as he also misattributes the source of the calls for an advertiser boycott.
There seems to be a lot of concepts our friend has trouble comprehending. Perhaps we should help him?

Wouldn’t it be great if the USCC actually promoted the interests of small business in America instead of signing on as just another arm of disproven neoconservative economic dogma?
Wouldn’t it be great if the NRA actually spent their time promoting firearm safety and responsible gun ownership, and worked to find reasonable legal compromises to better defend the actual interests of gun owners?
These organizations (among others) have drifted from general issue advocacy to being held hostage by extremist ideologues. The problem is that a lot of people who join at the basic level due to a general interest in the issue end up unwittingly supporting the loonies running the place.
Of course, this doesn’t just happen to the right wing. It would also be great if PETA would compromise to work for humane agricultural practices rather than demanding that all humans immediately become vegans.

You mean the site Glenn Beck Raped And Murdered A Young Girl In 1990? Absolutely. They’re not really saying that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. They’re not even trying to insinuate that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. They’re just using his own standard of journalism to look at the proposition that perhaps Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.
What I find interesting is what that site will do to a Google search on him, particularly if enough people comment enough at other sites regarding whether or not Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.

September 11th, 2009 at 5:15 pmFor a state who’s unemployment rate recently topped out at a record 15%, you’d think that efforts to put Michigan citizens back to work would be a bigger priority for state business leaders rather than pandering to know nothing nutcase A$$-klowns like Beck and a few corporate fat cats. But then again, it is The Chamber of Commerce – an organization with a long track-record of looking out for it’s corporate cronies interests while keeping a jack boot firmly pressed on the necks of working class Americans.

Kind of like the knuckle draggers that listen to Ingraham in the morning, followed by Limpo, then Beck or KKKlannity, then watch Billdo at night on Fox News.

September 11th, 2009 at 5:36 pmMy professional opinion is that we may have an individual whose identity is not fully actualized.

As always ralph you have keyed on the dominant variable. The lack of confidence as evidenced by the unwillingness to defend the experimental identity…
September 11th, 2009 at 5:37 pmI adore this goofy argument that Beck’s ratings are somehow indicative of something, other than the fact that he appeals to the lowest common denominator.
These same people somehow ignore the fact that Beck’s advertisers now consist of rip-off boner bills and gold scams while Fortune 500 companies advertise with his competitors. That says something about where the free market things the money makers actually are.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:37 pmTime Tunnel, Land of the Giants, and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, all had better ratings than Star Trek.

September 11th, 2009 at 5:41 pmLooks to me like your numbers are wrong — unless you’re including all dayparts in the O’Reilly figures.
By your own link, O’Reilly’s 8pm cablecast lists a rating of 3609. The page doesn’t provide any kind of measurement indicator, so it’s difficult to see how a total audience rating of 3609 at 8pm could translate into the number you suggested: 5.4 million. I could be unschooled in teh way these ratings are tabled, and if so, I’d appreciate an explanation that makes sense.

The whole thing with the Fox ratings is that the right wing is feeling very insecure. Their manic behavior is dramatic proof. The insecurity means that they obsessively watch Fox, seeking reassurance that their political philosophy is not dead.

Who ever is voting UP Lurker, does so knowing that T.P. has never positioned itself in alignment with this story. Yet Lurker is allowed and encouraged to continue to SPAM T.P. with false arguments JUST to tarnish the legitimacy of the original FACT: BECK IS A RACIST!
.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:54 pmI’m glad that people keep wanting to use Fox numbers to explain that they demonstrate their information is more factual.
It just means there are more people out there who have the time to listen to their BS than those who listen to other networks’ BS. It doesn’t prove anything.

Sandoz76 says: @#75
These same people somehow ignore the fact that Beck’s advertisers now consist of rip-off boner bills and gold scams while Fortune 500 companies advertise with his competitors. That says something about where the free market things the money makers actually are.
Yes, but those advertisers realize that Ben Gleck’s audience prizes their products!

September 11th, 2009 at 6:01 pmInteresting how our friend Says Who is so selective in the comments to which he responds.
Direct questions — can’t be bothered. I wonder why?
September 11th, 2009 at 6:05 pmAnd, for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce GO HERE,
http://www.uschamber.com/about/contact/default
I sent a message to the Michigan Chamber and will send as well to the U.S. Chamber…I told them that Beck is a disgrace to America and that they are aligning themselves with a bigot, racist, poison spewer and one that advocates murder of politicians (the Pelosi episode).
September 11th, 2009 at 6:05 pmI might also add that it’s dishonest to compare cable commentary to network news. Here’s a hint, what’s broadcast by FAUX does not fit the definition of news.
September 11th, 2009 at 6:07 pmSays Who says:
Professional wrestling has a lot of fans too
20 times more than msnbc, good point!

September 11th, 2009 at 6:15 pmwell, given that I’ve asked our friend Says Who several times to clarify the point he hoped to make by posting ratings of cable “news” programs and he has refused, I think it’s reasonable to conclude that he never had any point to make in the first place.

Big news. Time to go. One of my renters got his welfare check. Time for him to pay yours truly, the landlord. Out.
Must be the guy the owners of the trailer park have designated landlord.
I bet I’m not too far off the mark with this Gribble-poseur.
September 11th, 2009 at 6:56 pmI ran that comment through the troll to English translator and this is what I got:
September 11th, 2009 at 6:56 pmI have roomates in my trailer, one of whom got his welfare check, so now it’s time to score a few bottles of 20/20 and drink until we pass out.
addendum to #148–
I meant that kws probably has a trailer in the park and the owners live elsewhere–they just use him to strong arm rent out of the rest of the deadbeats that live there.
kws is still Gribble–except kws does his conspiracy scheming in a trailer.

1. What does mean to be a American today.
Standing up to those who would try to manipulate the electorate through lies, like Beck. Standing up to those who call for the dismantling of the United States of America, like Beck. Standing up to those who would try to turn a buck on a national tragedy while simultaneously spitting on the victims thereof, like Beck. Standing up to those who seek to twist the U.S. Constitution into saying things it doesn’t in order to harm America, like Beck.

SlappyBastinado says:
2. How long before the mainstream media goes broke?
I don’t think you can put a dividing line on it. What’s happening is that the very concept of “mainstream” is starting to diffuse more and more as more cable and internet channels of information come into existence and establish their market niche.
.
SlappyBastinado says:
3. When will the mainstream media start covering ACORN?
When there’s any kind of even remotely credible allegation to be made against them. Like, a single shred of evidence of anything. Still waiting.
The “allegations” against ACORN have as little substance as that persistent rumor that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.
.
Says Who says:
If President Obama’s henchmen are organizing a boycott of Glenn Beck, the ratings show that no one’s paying attention.
The President doesn’t have henchmen, you idiot. Secondly, it’s a boycott of the advertisers, not of watching the show. You aren’t really very informed on this, are you?
Please stop posting ratings thingies. You’ve already done so three times. They’re irrelevant to the discussion at hand. You’re just embarrassing yourself.
.
Purple State says:
So…pro wrestling is better than Fox?
Well, they’re prettty much the same thing, in a way. Pro wrestling now bills itself as “sports entertainment” rather than as “sports,” tacitly admitting that the match outcomes have been rigged for many decades now. Similarly, FOX News should brand itself as “news entertainment” rather than “news.” Similar to celebrity “news” channels and sites, they’re not actually doing journalism, but are rather doing something that looks like reporting but which is just there to reinforce their audience’s prejudices.

September 11th, 2009 at 8:07 pmSlappy,
Citing Fox News as a resource regarding ACORN is about as reliable as citing the cartoon channel about the fate of super heroes.
The fascist Republican propaganda machine attacks ACORN because ACORN gets out the vote and the last thing Republicans want is Americans voting.
September 11th, 2009 at 8:12 pmCould somebody please explain what Beck ultimately wants? Obama to resign? A coup and set Limbaugh up as President?
I know he fancies himself the great revolutionary leading his troops against the “enemy” But, to what end? Last we knew the USA was a nation of laws and elections,etc. When did we become a banana republic?
September 11th, 2009 at 8:15 pmCould someone give Beck time on the national airways or before Congress to tell the country what his end game is? His real, true end game?
Much of the country is in a state of hysteria bordering on lawlessness and feels like it is being taken over. Getting scary. No one seems to be able to get a grip. Any attempt at reason, such as Obama’s speech only makes things worse.
I think we are in big trouble.
Beck himself doesn’t know what he wants. He’ll keep telling you he wants less government (perhaps state-controlled government), but I wonder if he REALLY wants a fractured America.
He, much like the pundits and “entertainers” out there working for conservatives are just like the GOP; they have no answers for the problems, because they don’t see the problems. They just want the people trying to solve the problems to go away.
If Beck was to get his way and bring the GOP into power, he wouldn’t be happy, because big government would still be in charge. If the people were to have a government without intrusion, he wouldn’t be happy, because problems would arise where bigger government was NECESSARY, and there would be no bigger government to handle it.
He has no end game; he just wants to make a living for himself.

I think it’s pretty clear that Becky and his ilk want violence. Random violence to scare gentle people away from the polls and violence against our President to scare “those people” out of politics all together. Sickening though it is I just can’t find another single explanation that fits the rhetoric.
September 11th, 2009 at 8:48 pmBeck doesn’t care about the country, he doesn’t care about its citizens. And he certainly doesn’t care about his viewers.
September 11th, 2009 at 8:57 pmAll he cares about is his ratings just like the trolls here who keep repeating them.

September 11th, 2009 at 10:09 pmBlue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has reached an agreement with Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox to lower its request to raise rates for 163,000 people who buy their own health insurance. Rate increase takes effect October 1,09.
- Family coverage for individual policies will increase $101 a month (rather than the $257 a month as Blue Cross had originally sought)*
- Family coverage for group conversion coverage policies will increase $107 a month (rather than the $231 a month BC had originally sought)*
- Single person’s individual coverage will increase $47 a month (rather thatn the $122 a month originally sought)*
- Single person’s group conversion coverage will increase $53 a month (rather than the $99 a month originally sought)*
* this is referred to as “BC easing rate hike”.
Now, for the best news yet:
- BC/BS and the Atty General COULD NOT reach an agreement about a 31% rate hike that affects 210,000 seniors with supplemental Medicare plans. My monthly premium would increase by $126 if this goes through.
Now here is a kicker, 22% of Michigan residents HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOT HEALTH INSURANCE.

I find it hard to believe that Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990. I mean, it’s not like there’s any compelling evidence that Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990. Still, if a lot of people are asking questions about the controversy over whether Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990, then I suppose the discussion regarding this allegation (that Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990) is in the public interest. But I’ll stay out of it for now until I see any information either for or against the controversy regarding whether Glenn Beck raped and killed a young girl in 1990.

This is not true. NO ONE is allowed to disavow a sworn statement as to legitimacy to vote except the voting office after confirming the legitimacy of the sign up sheet. The only thing voting registration people do is allow people to fill out the forms, they are in no way allowed to “Justify
the signatory.” That is up to the election officials.
If acorn or whoevre wants to spend their money hiring people to allow others to sign up mickey mouse, then that is there business, but the organiztion does not get the ability to say whether the form is filled out by “valid voter.” That is up to the election commission of the county.

Iraq OTOH has *nothing* to do with 9/11 and has NEVER been responsible for an attack on American soil. Bush had to *lie* in order to go into that country, using non-existent WMDs as his excuse. THISE are the troops that need to be pulled out, preferably to send to Afganistan and pull Osama bin Laden out of whatever snivelly cave the coward is hiding in.

I do know that he has exposed some serious corruption in this administration, and potential efforts to replace our capitalist system with socialism and/or communism.

I am sorry you are so stupid. It isnt your opposing views that make you a moron. Its your abject stupidity that makes you a moron. ANYONE who even lets the monumentally ignorant thought that capitalism needs ’saving’ in America, is a MORON. That person is STUPID. That person is YOU. There is exactly ONE socialist in the Senate NONE in the house and Obama is NOT a socialist. YOU are stupid too stupid to know what socialism or communism even is. None of that is my fault. One day if you grow up perhaps you might get that you are stupid and brainwashed.
September 12th, 2009 at 12:12 amThat should read
anyone who even lets the monumentally ignorant thought that capitalism needs ’saving’ in America, form in his head…
September 12th, 2009 at 12:13 amIn any case, Beck might be a liar…I don’t know him, but I do know that he has exposed some serious corruption in this administration, and potential efforts to replace our capitalist system with socialism and/or communism.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
See this is a perfect example of how stupid and brainwashed you are. You are a liar. You know no such thing as no such thing has ever happened nor nothing close to it and only someone mind bogglingly stupid and brainwashed would make this claim. Or you are just a liar. A troll who doesnt care if what he says is true and just LIES because it is easy. Those are really the only two rational options here. You are bone chilliingly stupid or you are a liar. Its really that simple

September 12th, 2009 at 12:22 amI am not for socialism, but it looks like our capitalist system has not been serving us too well for a while. The country was in economic trouble and debt long before Obama took over. And could you specify the exposed “serious corruption in this administration”?
Thanks.
Time to shop around and replace my Cable (Comcast), AT&T easy enough; CVS never again that one is easy also;as is using UPS, State Farm I dropped already.
September 12th, 2009 at 12:52 amSays Who says:
Funny, I don’t recall obama during his campaign saying he would send more troops into war. One more lie?
Actually he did explicitly campaign on a need to increase troop presence in Afghanistan, while drawing down Iraq. In fact, this was discussed at length during the debates. The fact that you weren’t paying attention isn’t his fault.
.
Says Who says:
When did the Afghans attack us?
It was eight years ago today. It’s interesting how the right wing has completely ditched the victims of the 9/11 tragedy as soon as you decide they’re no longer politically useful to you. It tells the American public all we need to know about how much you ever cared.
.
Says Who says:
obama condones the actions of acorn.
ACORN has committed no illegal or unethical actions. In fact, everything they do is quite admirable.
.
Stampede88 says:
Looks like somebody has started to cover ACORN.. Glad the Census Bureau has payed attention.
So basically they just ditched ACORN because the wingnuts were making a big stink, not because there were any substantive allegations whatsoever. Michelle Bachmann made a big stink about how people shouldn’t fill out the census if ACORN was involved in collecting them, and the Census bureau rewarded her blatant lying.
You can claim “victory” only insofar as unfair character assassination perpetrated against a nonprofit do-gooder group has yielded some of the results that you seek towards your goal of the complete destruction of America. But there’s no moral victory here. You are simply a bad person, and should be ashamed of yourself.

Country Club Conservative says:
Good luck burying us, considering your president’s approval rating is dipping everyday. At this rate, even Palin could win in 2012.
Yeah, he’s now down to just a clear majority instead of a massive landslide mandate. Boo hoo.
You haven’t learned about the falsity of assuming geometric progressions yet, have you? And there’s absolutely no scenario by which Palin could win even the 2012 Republican nomination, much less the Presidency.

YOU LIE!
Oh sorry, my emotions got the better of me there. Please do go on.

aaronk says:
…but I do know that he has exposed some serious corruption in this administration…
He has not. No such corruption has ever existed. He has committed slanderous character assassination against some people and that’s it. You can confirm that he’s been lying by accessing publicly available information providing the underlying facts, all of which directly contradict all of his assertions.
You choose not to because you enjoy having your personal biases pandered to by a maniac repeating your own deeply buried suspicions in an editorial-like format on the television. FOX News doesn’t do news, it does the opposite of news. It’s news entertainment, in much the same way that WWE is not sports, it’s sports entertainment. You know and I know that when it comes down to it, if your life was really immediately on the line over which side was correct, you’d have to admit that the things you’ve enjoyed pretending to believe were false: Obama is right, and Beck is a liar. It may be fun to live in your fantasy world when the stakes are low, but you should really look around you and notice that there are real consequences to supporting this insanity. Still not willing to admit to yourself that you’re completely full of sh!t? Then just think about how many long-held beliefs have been chucked overboard by the right wing the instant they became politically inconvenient. Real truth isn’t based on circumstance, and deep down you know that.
Good luck.
September 12th, 2009 at 1:57 amDang it, ElBruce! Leave a little meat on the corpse for the rest of us. You’ve so thoroughly bashed the trolls that I might have to go to bed when there’s still beer in the fridge unless they are stupid enough to protest.
September 12th, 2009 at 2:06 amWho has been put in jail?
I recall Ney, Safavian, Cunningham and some others from Bush admin..were arrested.
September 12th, 2009 at 7:05 amI read that ACORN turned in the people that wrote in Donald Duck etc to the authorities.
MIAMI — Armed with a tip from the grassroots group ACORN about its own workers, authorities on Wednesday began arresting 11 people suspected of falsifying hundreds of voter applications during a registration drive last year.
ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has long been accused by Republican and conservative activists — fed by talk-radio hosts — of fraudulently registering voters. But Miami-Dade prosecutors gave credit to the group for coming forward and ACORN officials said they felt vindicated.

===============================================
MY GAWD!!!!!! The ignorance displayed here is mind boggling!
First CSPAN does have a CSPAN3 as well as 1 and 2, and radio….their funding comes from subscribers to satellite TV.
Now for “state run” media….you will be doing your own research on this one but I will take the time to point you in the proper direction….heres all you need to know and if you are smart enough and honest enough with yourself you should have little problem figuring out how sh!t works. General Electric is a giant corporation with many subsidiaries, one of which is NBC news and their divisions, GE, with the help of the OBAMA administration and Democrats in congress has obtained BILLIONS and BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars for everything imaginable (do your home work on where the money goes) If you think that NBC news spends 1 minute of any day investigating the possible malfeasance of this administration then you are probably one of those guys on Springer that has a friend that takes you in because you have no place to go, gives you a room, food, spending money and his friendship….THEN….you go and screw his wife behind his back. You would not do that to your friend and NBC news will not do any investigations into the Obama administration ….. quite the opposite…….they run cover for them like this country has never seen before by the forth estate the intended “watch dogs” of a corrupt government. BUSH, CHENEY, HALIBURTON!
September 12th, 2009 at 12:42 pmWhere is NBC, CBS, ABC reporting on that screwball racist Van Jones the bizarre czars’ poster boy. NOT ONE WORD from the dishonest network news. How about Acorn dirty dealings in Baltimore and Wash. who are set up by Obami to get $8.5 BILLION dollars of taxpayer money. NOT A PEEP. Is Brian Williams talking about any of this, oh no he’s fretting over over Wilson telling Obami the truth.
September 12th, 2009 at 1:25 pmAs an Independent watching an ever increasingly ugly divide in our nation, I will choose to be labeled a “socialist” rather than be part of any faction that includes Limbaugh, Beck, especially Hannity, Coulter, especially Palin, et al.
September 12th, 2009 at 1:51 pmThese folks have created a monster that is fast heading out of control and there is no voice of reason, as in past days to moderate their hysteria. As self appointed leader of the “revolution” Glenn Beck is no more equipped to deal with a frenzied crowd bent on bringing down Obama than any other personality disordered delusional human of his ilk.
The country has always had it’s ferocious debates, but the ones fueled by pure hate such as this have had tragic outcomes.
It is great to watch one man “Glen Beck” completely tear apart the lies, corruption and distain of middle America that the left wing has.
As you fight to take away his right to speak and attack his sponsors … his audience continues to grow. And what is even better, mslds (olberman, mathews and PAT maddow) continue to lose viewers.
Keep it up George Soros robots.

September 12th, 2009 at 2:51 pmTimmeh. We already KNOW how stupid and brainwashed you are. The only thing Beck is doing is making a fool out of himself and only those as blazingly stupid as YOU are fooled. I am glad you decided to drop by and remind us how astonishingly stupid you are. Its like a classic Rock of stupidity and inanity from you. I DO love to laugh at morons as stupid as you.

September 12th, 2009 at 4:32 pmCalling on every African American radio/tv host to encourage that African Americans leave these companies. No more cell phone service from AT&T.
Calling on all African Americans to ban accepting money from these sponsors as advertisers. They obviously don’t need the African American retail or business dollars.
Money (the mighty green) is the only color they understand.

Look, the fact that you can find a keyboard and flip a power switch shows you know enough to realize Beck lies all the time. How can you support that? Are you really that evil? You don’t have to be a monster. You can stop trying to destroy this country from within. Get help.
September 12th, 2009 at 9:37 pmEmail I mailed to AT& T just a few minutes ago. I encourage any and all who can do the same to follow suit:
“I just wanted to let you know when my contract with AT& T is complete I will be moving my account to another company, one that does not support Glen Beck.
I will likewise encourage any and all I am able to influence to do the same.
Goodbye.
September 12th, 2009 at 9:46 pmBeck, Hannity, Limbaugh are aiding and abetting the enemy, and if these companies wish to be associated with that ilk than I suggest, they be allowed to go down the road together with no return. We are a nation in the midst of two wars, our military and living and dying on foreign soil to spread democracy and yet these morons, no cowards and yellow bellies, are calling for dissolution of the union. On a daily basis these freaks gain a platform for vitriole on our public airwaves and their abuse of free speech is offensive and obscene. These Chamber guys and corporatists think it is “funny” to disrespect this liberal president because it is good for business. Well I think it is way past time for us to pop their hot air balloon and hit them where it really hurts in their pocketbooks. Complain to the FCC if you find Beck and company making lewd, obscene and offensive remarks on their programs, I really find their language much more offensive that a few curse words.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:55 amI am a multi-year Comcast customer. I had occasion to call them recently when they removed C-Span 1 from the basic analog cable package I buy. I pointed out cable companies had all agree to provide C-Span 1 to their customers. Comcast pointed out that C-Span 1 was available with their basic digital package and offered a free converter. I declined the converter, and told Comcast that I would make formal complaints, to C-Span and government officials instead. The next day, C-Span 1 returned to the basic analog package (as did the History Channel that had been removed with C-Span 1).
My conversation with Comcast also included a “while I have you on the phone moment”.
I said, “while I have you on the phone, would you like to hear of a growing concern I have with Comcast”? Expecting the “yes, of course” answer I got, I prepared for a full blown discription of my concern, by sipping some water and transitioning to my “this is what I think” frame of mind.
I began by saying, “It bothered me when MSNBC was removed from my cable package when Comcast replaced Time Warner as our cable provider. Now Comcast has removed C-Span 1 and The History Channel from my cable package. I called to determine why I can’t get C-Span (thinking there may be some glitch), and Comcast’s auto-answering voices to customers are Shak O’Neal and Ben Stien.” “I don’t have a problem with Shak,” I said, “but Ben Stien is a right winger that promotes conservatism”. I continued, “With Comcast leaving Fox News in their basic, removing MSNBC, C-Span 1, and The History Channel, with Ben Stien answering customer calls, it makes me wonder if Comcast has a political agenda”. Then I said, “if I had a different cable option other than Comcast, I would surely change my cable provider immediately”. “Thanks for your time and no I have no other comments”.
Now I’m learning Glenn Beck is the speaker at an event in which Comcast is one of the sponcers.
Comcast is making their Conservatism bones, I guess. I’m getting satilite. Comcast and Glenn Beck can go to hell with all the other subversives of America.
