UPS has decided that they will no longer advertise on FNC, despite them being the far and away cable news ratings leader. They cite "political controversies" as the reason. Well, those of use who support FNC can show our support by contacting UPS and telling them that as long as they refuse to advertise on FNC, we will no longer use the services that UPS provides.
It's a win/win; the left can boycott companies that advertise on Beck and we can boycott the one company that has pulled out of FNC all together. Democracy at it's finest. Below is the contact info for UPS:
The shows present a dilemma for advertisers, who usually like a "safe" environment for their messages. The Olbermanns, Hannitys, O'Reillys, Maddows and Becks of the TV world are more likely to say something that will anger a viewer, who might take it out on sponsors.
They also host the most-watched programs on their networks.
"This is a good illustration of that conundrum," said Rich Hallabran, spokesman for UPS Stores, which he said has temporarily halted buying ads on Fox News Channel as a whole.
This has nothing to do with Beck. UPS is the only company that has dropped FNC in it's entirety. So, those of us that support FNC can now boycott UPS. Ain't democracy grand?

Hmmm, I don't believe I called Beck a racist. I referred to the comment.
You didn't?

Sure sounds like you did to me.

I didn't change a single thing. I quoted you verbatim, just as I did in this post.
What you said is pretty clear - there's not much wiggle room there.
But ok, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that.
Explain how the remark itself is "racist". And for bonus points, explain how someone that says something that's apparently overtly racist is not a racist themselves.
