Glen Beck is an idiot, and whoever listens to him is even worst. He contradicts himself, misinforms, fake-cry, and doesn't have a clue of history or politics or anything....Yet, there are so many morons living in this country who loves this crap. Just look at the town hall meetings....the comments seems like a recap of Beck's show.

Clever.

But actually most products made by P&G have a competitive brand made by Unilever, and Unilever also has a very strong lineup of products that are rebranded as generics. I generally use Unilever products because they're less expensive and are just as effective. Wisk or All instead of Tide, I use Colgate (Colg-Palm) instead of Crest, Sparkle (G-P) instead of Bounty, etc.

I'm not trying to make a political statement or anything. I've never even considered the products I bought might be a statement as to where they advertise, but I don't understand why anybody buys P&G products because P&G products are usually the most expensive.

Because they're familiar. When I moved out on my own I didn't try different things to see what I liked - I just brought whatever my mom used.

That's a good point. My mom always just used the cheapest! Funny but true.

Well its very obvious the old saying "The Truth HURTs" has struck a note again, Glenn Beck does not spresd hate, He exposes the truth about this predigist driven President who has a vindeta against caucasion people. You will see what his plans are but then it will be to late for all the obama lovers.
He has driven this country into the ground. Now he can't wait to start a health program that will be so weak that even the uninsured will not want it.

Up to about a dozen now including Sanofi-Aventis and Roche (two pharmaceutical companies) and ConAgra (brand name foods).

Default Suppression of truth

Glen Beck has admitted that he checks NO facts. He said it on the View when confronted about things he'd said. Why in the world someone would expect the truth from someone who doesn't even bother to check the truth is odd to me?
