    The group’s co-founder James Rucker gloats in an op-ed at the Huffington Post that Progressive Insurance and several other advertisers have dropped Beck’s show since Color of Change started promoting a boycott. Of course it’s not all that surprising that Progressive Insurance dropped Beck. After all, the company was founded by left-wing philanthropist Peter B. Lewis.

    DBNinKY,
    I would love to drop progressive insurance but geico is no better. Almost all the other companies have PC fools in charge, and with this approach you will eventually will run out of companies that you are willing to buy products from. I would really love to use something other than google, but bing just doesn’t seem to search as well-I have tried looking for items with both services. What is one to do when you have to use these services but the people you are forced to enrich, turn your stomach? I think that the only viable solution will be with our children. This generation of PC fools will self destruct and I don’t think they can be helped. Time to focus on education of our children. This will be a long and dark period for our civilization.

    Only liberal owned-/operated businesses have left Beck – and it’s to their own disadvantage.

    By dropping Beck from their ad avenues, these companies have given over to their competition the largest audience of consumers and brand placement opportunity that exists on national television during early prime.

    Any executive considering dropping Beck or other FNC programming from their ad roster because of politics, should really go back to marketing school or resign their positions for the benefit of stockholders.
    
    FNC is where the viewers are at – and good executives know it!

    The government in the United Kingdom has dispatched a letter to talk radio icon Michael Savage that he must “repudiate” the views the government has attributed to him before he even can be considered for removal from a banned-in-Britain government list.

    Our ties to Britain are entirely too close. If they wish to ban Dr. Savage that is their right. And we in the United States should remember to “avoid foreign entanglements-friendship and trade with all, alliances with none”.
    Africa for the Africans, Europe for the Weenies, Asia for the Asians and such.
    If we can ever get out of Iraq and Afghanistan we need to quit NATO, Korea and the rest and remember our “Enlightened Separatism”. We can have a big enough Defense establishment to defend this country without allying with anybody. Paul Revere?

    But I do believe the Lifting of the Ban on Dr. Savage was reversed almost immediately-the Ban is Back?

    Absolutely. In my initial post, I said so. We are a sovereign nation and have every right to do as we please with regard to who we let into the country. I agree with Rep Ron Paul when he said during the campaign, ‘follow the law’. The sad thing is, he was the only one who said it.

    Actually it was not. Still in effect. Further, as the above section illustrates, they have upped the ante and called for him to repudiate what “they” attribute to him.

    Kudos to Michelle for covering this. There has been a literal blackout on this story. Regardless of whether you like him or not, this is a huge story. Especially when you consider that there was likely action on the part of OUR GOVT. OFFICIALS in getting the ball rolling against Savage.

    They may have a right, but to do so based on someone’s opinions belies the 1000 years of free speech that was part of British heritage. It used to be that an Englishman could stand up and say what he believes without persecution. Apparently, that freedom no longer exists there.

    Jeff Poor reports on the left-wing boycott of Glenn Beck’s advertisers here.

    This, from the woman who called for a boycott of US Magazine because they said Palin wasn’t a minor deity or somesuch; who was for Dunkin’ Donuts (”I support Dunkin’ Donuts” she wrote) before — just two years later — she was against it (because of a scarf); and who literally once asked her readers to boycott an entire city!

    It must physically hurt to be such a hypocrite.

    And Glenn Beck deserves to be boycotted (I prefer the term “ignored”) because he’s an opportunist liar who will say anything for ratings, including contradicting himself. Footage neatly packaged for you here:

    In marketing, there’s a difference between consumer “support” and blind allegiance – the former is earned through performance and trust, the latter from ignorance and naiveté on the customer’s part. At no point did MM say her support for DD was limitless, inalienable or allegiance.

    That you took it as such by calling MM a hypocrite, was an assumption on your part and an attempt at distraction from the fact that any boycott of Glen Beck’s FNC show is sure to be SHORT-LIVED, as his is the number one program in it’s time slot, and because Obama Care is sinking in the polls.

    Coming from Chicago, I agree. I warned people. The Chicago street gangs even get merged into the Democratic establishment and are used when convenient for intimidation. The corruption is systematic and always flows to the top. Unions have their role. The black liberation churches have their role. The police and fire departments have their role. Even insurance contracts will be cancelled before your house is burned to the ground. That is CHICAGO politics. Any wonder why the city has lost 1 million people?
