One that you know is NOT run by leftists? I really hate to drop Progressive because I have an excellent rate but it’s time to look elsewhere.

As I’m reading the the “Non-Existent Provision” dairy…what catches my eye above the Red State banner? An ad for Progressive Insurance…

can create a petition that could then be circulated to these companies so that they have the numbers of those of us who will remember their actions if they bow to the left.

This happens all the time in this country, it’s nothing new. When someone in the public eye (media, personality, comedian, athlete) says or does something stupid, they pay the consequences in lost sponsorship money, etc. Let’s see… Don Imus, Kobe Bryant, Michael Phelps, Opie and Anthony… THe list could go on and on.

Suddenly this is a big deal and a bigger conspiracy just because it’s Glenn Beck? C’mon! Give me a break.

…is based in my county here in Wisconsin. They are definitely run by a bunch of liberals. They very much have their own political agenda in the city and county of Racine.

So this is not particularly surprising.

That will help…. I don’t read nytimes at all.

He’s so small, even a caveman can do it.

Beck should just begin each program with a list of the companies that are boycotting him and tell people contact information is available on his website.

That should do it.

Worked with AARP, they did a180 when their secret deal with Obama became public and people started canceling their memberships in droves.

Dear Sirs,

It has come to my attention that your company has chosen to withdraw advertising from the Glen Beck television show on Fox News under pressure from a group called “Color of Change”, founded by self-described communist Van Jones, who is now the so-called “green jobs” czar in the Obama administration. Mr. Beck had recently done several exposes on Mr. Jones and, like millions of Americans is critical of the direction the Obama administration is taking this country.

Mr. Beck’s recent comment about how he perceives the President’s attitude on race is sensational, to be sure, but when you consider the President’s past and current associations, 20 years as a member of a racist church, his choice for the Supreme Court, his comments about his white grandmother, his overzealous reaction to the Lawrence Gates arrest, and the constant implication from his supporters that criticism of him is “racism”, I happen to agree with Mr. Beck. The President is not the post-racial healer that he was sold as in the campaign.

Your decision to bow to the will of the President’s political hacks has caused me to re-think my long-time relationship with your company. I will be changing insurance providers as soon as possible and will advise my friends and family (and anyone else who will listen) to do the same.

Regretfully,

Glen should cite Scarface as his free speech example.
Or maybe the golden years of Air America.

Thru his representative, Van Jones, race profiteer and government employee, our thug-in-chief extends his tentacles. This is not a boycott, this is a crackdown on speech by the Executive Branch.

Excuse me, I must listen for the howls of protests from principled liberals, all two or three of them.

I called and let them know I won’t buy their cheese anymore. Period. I do A LOT of catering.

Here is the reply:

Dear ,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We place advertising on a variety of programming with the goal of reaching a broad range of insurance consumers who might be interested in our products. Because there is so much programming from which to choose and a limited amount of advertising dollars, we choose programs we believe will give us the best opportunity to reach our target audiences in a cost-effective way. We also seek to avoid advertising on programming that our customers or potential customers may find extremely offensive.

For competitive business reasons, we don’t publicly disclose all of the considerations that drive our specific advertising decisions. I can tell you that The Glenn Beck Program has not been a program which we have targeted for advertising, and that any advertising that has appeared on the show was a result of an error. We are not trying to make a statement about this particular show; it simply is not one on which we have chosen to advertise.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your views.

Sincerely,

Mary O.
Progressive Internet Representative

start picketing them! If you do picket please call all the local media ,newspapers, cable TV stations! Make sure you get plenty of coverage!

Also lets start an online boycott!

Sometimes when you say truly offensive and stupid things long enough, it catches up with you. Weep not, fans of Glenn Beck. You probably deserve better. After all, do you really want be a follower of a guy who got his ass handed to him by the women on the TV show “The View”? He is a wimpy liar who relished creating controversies by lying like a rug with a straight face. Icky!

Lefty boycott succeeding in getting advertisers to drop Glenn Beck

Such is life. The world ebbs and flows. It so happens that we are ALL caught up in the stream. Let ‘em play their reindeer games.

Tomorrow, the sun will rise nonetheless.

Check this out from snopes.com:

“You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.”

And Franklin Raines.

Etc.

Just plug raines and gorelick into the Redstate search pane and you can read all about it.

After we retake the House in 2010, we must demand this be investigated and the thieves be sent to jail.

They cause the meltdown of our financial system and then take home unwarranted gobs of cash on top of it. Disgusting.

Thank you.

By the way, this appeared July 25, 2009 on American Thinker http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/07/obamas_a_racist.html It appears to me that Glen’s opinion is shared by more than one of us.

Please follow the link to their targeted Sponsors

companies gave to last election cycle!

I wrote to SC Johnson yesterday letting them know that I had advised all my friends, removed their products from my home and never intended to buy their stuff again. Julie very cordially replied that not only did they not withdraw advertising from Glenn Beck, they never advertised on his show in the first place. I sent an apology.
To be certain, this was my fault because I relied on you and failed to vet your information on my own. Nevertheless, I’m sure, Erick, that you’ll understand why I am removing my name from your mailing list. There’s already enough people out there that I can’t trust.

I wish I had Geico insurance. I would drop it. I will absolutely boycott all of these companies and let them know every chance I get.

Is there a good conservative site that has boycott lists with fact checking?

Is there a good conservative site that has boycott lists with fact checking?

The thing to keep in mind is that these businesses have already calculated potential losses of revenue from their reduced exposure plus any possible counter-boycott. They’ve gambled that the crazies at Daily KoS, etc., are more organized and have more buying leverage than you do — it’s nothing personal.

Personally, I’d like to prove these companies wrong, but not necessarily by proving that we can hurt them (that is pride-worthy only to the Statists — and like I said, it’s nothing personal); but by SUPPORTING, vigorously, companies that advertise on the programs that we watch.

If both boycotts are highly successful, all that has happened is certain companies have been seriously damaged (do you really think Statists are running to Geico/Progressive or Walmart in droves because they stopped advertising on Beck?). The companies that are hurt are those that the Statists targeted for boycott in the first place — and, I’ll note — the companies that have been targeted so far seem to be the ones that traditionally advertise on conservative channels (eg., Geico) or are traditionally hated by Statists (eg., Walmart).

So much for free speech!

Sounds to me like the Left is running scared and views Beck as a mortal threat.
