Glenn Beck Program Loses Another Advertiser After Calling Obama "Racist"

By ROBYN ROSS
TV GUIDE


Glenn Beck has lost another advertiser.

Geico and Lawyers.com stopped advertising on Beck's show after he called
President Barack Obama "a racist" on a July 28 episode of Fox and
Friends. A spokeswoman for GMAC Financial Services told TVGuide.com on
Monday that the company has "ceased to advertise on the Glenn Beck
Program," though she would not say why.

"I'm not going to go into specifics," spokeswoman Sue Mallino said. "We
advertise on a number of programs in order to align with what we think
is our target market, so all I'm going to say at this time is that we
ceased advertising on The Glenn Beck Program."

She said the company will continue to advertise on other Fox News shows.

A spokesperson for Fox News could not immediately be reached for comment.

Beck said on Fox and Friends that Obama has "a deep-seated hatred for
white people or the white culture." He then added, "I'm not saying that
he doesn't like white people. I'm saying that he has a problem. This guy
is, I believe, a racist."

Eight more companies -- including Wal-Mart -- reportedly pull Glenn Beck ads

August 17, 2009 5:14 pm ET by Media Matters staff

From an August 17 ColorofChange.org press release:

Eight more Glenn Beck advertisers, including Wal-Mart – the world’s
largest retailer – have confirmed to ColorOfChange.org that they pulled
their ads from the controversial Fox News Channel broadcaster’s
eponymous show. Allergan (maker of Restasis), Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC
Financial Services), Best Buy, Broadview Security, CVS, Re-Bath,
Travelocity and Wal-Mart join the dozen other companies who previously
distanced themselves from Beck.

Twenty companies have pulled their ads from Beck’s show in just the
last two weeks. The moves come after the Fox News host called President
Obama a “racist” who “has a deep-seated hatred for white people” during
an appearance on Fox & Friends. Previous companies who pulled their ads
include ConAgra, GEICO, Lawyers.com, Men’s Wearhouse, Procter & Gamble,
Progressive Insurance, RadioShack, Roche, SC Johnson, Sanofi-Aventis,
Sargento, and State Farm Insurance.

“We are heartened to see so many corporate citizens step up in
support of our campaign against Glenn Beck,” said James Rucker,
executive director of ColorOfChange.org. “Their action sends a clear a
message to Glenn Beck: Broadcasters shouldn’t abuse the privilege they
enjoy by spewing dangerous and racially charged hate language over the
air. No matter their political affiliation, hate language doesn’t belong
in our national dialogue.”

I don't recall John ever stating he was a Glenn Beck fan. Another lie,
asshole?

Someone finally caught it.

Good eyes!

Beck is to conservatives what Franken and Ed Schultz are to liberals.
They're all raging assholes in my book, although Franken and Ed
Schultz are at the top of the heap.
