Well, that sure is a game changer.

How will they ever replace those sponsors?

They'll probably cancel his show now.

Fox's ratings are through the roof. They'll find other sponsors.

This country would be much better off if more people would listen to Glenn Beck. Even so, the word is getting out, and Obama's butt is in a downward spiral. His thug tactics are going to finish him off before he can destroy the country. That proves there is a God...!

Huh? Proctor & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and lawyers.com pulled their ads from Glenn Beck's show (FOX News), not MSNBC.

Ya Beck went to far claiming Obama hates everything white. I don't want to get into this, but if Beck was not racist he would point out all cases of seeming racism. He would say Bush was a racist (hell he called the clintons racists) and he would have called reagan and nixon racists, but he doesn't, he adores them

So much better for my head.
I have Sirius and I listen to intelligent things like the 70s music channel, NPR and CBC (Canadian talk is actually 10 times more intelligent than Rush Limball is).

Look: I'm not into boycotts. I couldn't care less where these people spend their money, really. They can do what they want. If they pull there advertising, there will be someone to replace them. Beck is that popular.

And Beck isn't really "controversial". Yes, he has his views, and he expresses them openly. That is what "free speech" and a "free press" (guaranteed by the Constitution) are all about. Beck is doing the job the rest of the so-called "mainstream" media should be doing (exposing the lies and examining the issues), but won't, because too many of them are former Democrat operatives (Chris Matthews, for example).

Here is an example: The Pres. and the Democrats call the protesters at the Town Hall meetings "angry mobs". What does Beck do? He shows videos of these vs. Democrat protesters on college campuses literally storming the podium of conservatives invited to speak (and Ann Coulter got pies thrown at her). There is no such violence taking place at these Town Hall meetings. Many of these "angry mobs" are old people. They do not like what is happening to their country and they are tired of being lied to.

Yes, these people are angry and upset with what is going on; but, they are not "angry mobs". Angry mobs are, Code Pink, and others like them.
