Glenn Beck's 'Obama is Racist' Comment Prompting Advertiser Exodus

Aug. 24, 2009

Rob Kuznia--HispanicBusiness.com

An off-the-cuff remark made by conservative Fox News commentator Glenn Beck stating that President Obama is a racist is coming back to bite Beck nearly a month later -- in the form of advertising revenue. The group organizing the advertising boycott, ColorofChange.org, announced today that 16 more companies have pulled their ads, bringing the total to 36. The companies include AT&T, Campbell Soup Company, Clorox, Farmers Insurance Group, Johnson & Johnson, NutriSystem, Sprint, The UPS Store and Verizon Wireless. Some of the companies have issued statements explaining their decision. "We have had limited advertisements on the Glenn Beck Program in the past, however the statements he made during that show would not adhere to our programming standards," said Adam Oberweiser, a spokesperson for Clorox, in a phone message to a ColorOfChange.org member. "Furthermore, we will not be advertising on his program in the future since he did violate our own advertising standards." Beck made the comment while being interviewed for "Fox and Friends," where the commentators were weighing in on the firestorm surrounding the July 16 arrest of black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. in his own home by white Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley. Crowley was responding to a call of a possible break-in when he came upon Gates, who found himself locked out of his house after a trip. On July 28, Beck said he believes Obama "is a guy ... who has a deep-seeded hatred for white people or the white culture -- I don't know what it is," he said. When Fox host Brian Kilmeade countered that 70 percent of Obama's staff is white, Beck responded: "I'm not saying he doesn't like white people; I'm saying he has a problem -- this guy, is, I believe, a racist." Fox News Channel official Bill Shine, SVP of Programming, subsequently told Mediabistro's TVNewser site that " . . . Beck expressed a personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the Fox News Channel. And as with all commentators in the cable news arena, he is given the freedom to express his opinions."

Worried Mr Beck, yesterday I sent an email that I hope you have read by now, Including the Poem, I watch you on FOX everyday. I know you care deeply for Country like many of us. Our Country is in serious trouble, Thank you for standing up for us WE NEED YOUR VOICE. Please go to "thepeoplesvoice.org, it is about Ahimsha Wickrematunge, a Sri Lankan Journalist, writing for The SUNDAY LEADER, was murdered for speaking out about the corruption in the government in his country. He wrote a letter to be released after his death. He knew he would killed, still he stood up for his beliefs and Country. He quoted this poem, " AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME." For all reading this stand up for this Great Country of ours. REMEMBER THIS COULD HAPPEN TO US ! ! ! God Bless US ALL.

I'm so sick and tired of FOX and its mostly racist tv show hosts. I used to occasionally watch Beck when I would flip through the channels...that is until he I caught one his shows where he just sounded riciculously STUPID! How dare he say President Obama is racsist. What? That doesn't even sound right! How could he have a "problem" with white people when number one, he's half white, and number two, two WHITE people raised him to be the person he is?! So if anyone is racist it's Glen Beck and his attempt to bash the black looking guy who is his President!! Every conservative white person is soooo upset that THEIR President looks black, and they just cannot get past that! Just get over it, and then get over yourselves, retards! Sincerely, "I love my black President"

WORRIED 8/31/09 GLENN, does this sound familiar? Many years ago I read an article in the Ann Landers column and have never forgotten it. I am sending it to you. It was written by Martin Niem"ller. He saw it was not just about the Jews Hitler sought to exterminate it was any one that had an alternate point of view. He was jailed in Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps from 1937 to 1945, were he wrote this poem. AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out becasue I was not a unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

After reading most of the vitriol a-la-Glenn from many of the commentators in support of Beck, it is comp93's comment that sums it up and makes the most sense. In capitalism, the corporations will do what is best for them. If supporting hate speech masquerading as free speech made them more money, they would be fighting elbow to elbow for a spot in Beck's show. They are not.

I agreed with Brian 123- Keep it up Glenn- The Midia has elected this guy to office and refuses to print or say anything negative about this individual- I like him as a person, but not as my president - I have enjoyed all my life the freedom of choice- and don't want that changed

This is for Momof4-- Yes Obama will meet republicans in the middle, if that middle is in toal agreement with him. He hasn't tried to "reach across the isle" yet. And how many times did he promise that?- among ALL the other promises that he hasn't kept? I am not in total disagreement with your president. I did agree with him once, it was when he killed that fly. I'd have done the same thing. And I too am an AT&T customer. I'm thinking about dropping them though. You may think they don't deserve it but I don't think Beck deserved to be dropped. But, it's their loss cause he'll still get high ratings and they won't have an ad in there!

Hey Glenn, you hit the nail on the head! Why doesn't the right to "freedom of speech" apply here? If that so called president had said that about you, do you think people would be reacting this way? I have an idea. We, the ordinary citizens, don't need those ads that air during your show but those advertisers need us to survive. I could do without them. I wonder how many others could. You keep doing what you're doing cause we enjoy the hell out of it!

I also have told others that I think Obama is a racist of convenience...I think he's got some personal issues about the parents who abandoned him. He plays Chicago politics...use whatever dirty trick you can to get what you want. Glenn Beck tends to get a little hyperbolic in his statements, but I think he speaks from his astute observational skills. Those who want to characterize people who disagree with the socalist agenda of the democrats of the hard left as "dumb rednecks" fail to notice that most of the people objecting are normal every-day people. People who don't like the bait and switch of the Obama admin. You keep on Glenn!!! By the by, the dixiecrats were stupid democrats who were racists who opposed the civil rights movement...you must be too young to know the facts!!LOL!

Beck is no the racist it is clowns trying at Color of Change trying to shut him up, and the too chicken of the truth ad execs. Why was it ok to question and belittle the previous president and not this one what has he said or done that make him holier than thou?? Beck and others seems to be pull back the curtain on the great and power OZ an those that can't handle the sight are cowaring and trying their best to discredit them and are despratly tugging that vail the othe way. All in favor of letting this President and all his czars run amuck just take a long hard look southward towards Cuba a once triving tourist island nation pre-Castro, or how about try to live under the dictatorship of Mr. Chavez who has a tendency to shut every radio and tv broadcast that dis agrees with him.

Keep it up Beck! Don't let these pricks get to you! I think some folks forgot the first ammendment. Any company pulling it's advertising is only showing how shallow and gutless they are. These day's the worst thing a person can have is an opinion that the "elite Idiots" don't like. My name for the Pres is Odumba! But don't tell anyone,,, They might make me take Socalist training School.

I called this a month ago. The "hate the rich" play is not working so now it is race. The momenteum in this contry is that if you disagree with this President you are a racist. That statement is false I have always been a small government, Constitutional orgianalist, less taxes Conservative. I disagree with President Obama who "wants to fundementally change America". , He sat in Jerimiah Wright's church for twenty years. I would no way consider him a "racially tolerent" person. Some of that rhetoric has had to seep in. The "get over it "crowdneeds to get over it also. Lemmings do nothing but die by running over the cliff. His foreign policy is naive, his economic stimulus failed to the point that they had to re-name it, healthcare is a powergrab

Hey, don't hand me any crap about Glenn Beck being garbage or racist. He's a realist! Let's think about this for a second here.......Glenn Beck is a racist because he said that someone else, (doesn't matter who it is) is a racist, yet before I ever saw that clip, I saw YOUR President of the Unites States, (soon to be President of the USSA) say basically, #1 "...I wasn't there so I don't know all the facts BUT the POLICE acted stupidly???????? (by simply doing their job, a whole lot more effiiciently than he's doing, I might add) .....and that goes to show you that racism is still a problem in this country" Well let's see here, would he have said that if the cop was black, or any other race that you can think of other than white? Obama's problem is he opens his mouth before he thinks

I think its a sad day in America,when news out lets such as Fox allow this twisted type remarks.I agree with the free speech of everyone,but the actions that will result from this is most important.There is big money to be made by spewing hate speech.Each side accuses the other of the race card.If Glenn Beck had a more neutral commentary,he wouldn't be as popular.We are in the year 2009 and still hung up on race.No political figure should be called derogatory names,that will fuel the hate groups.There are professional ways of voicing disagreement.We always use our freedoms more to separate and destroy than to improve our country.If your looking for a fight ,you'll find a fight can this country ever grow up? What a greater country we could be, If we put all personal agendas aside

Glenn Beck is not all wrong----What do you call a man who takes from achievers and gives to non-achievers? Taking care of the truly disabled in society is great but non-achievers who sit on their laurels----NO. Money and greed is behind Americans and if they don't see the light soon they will fail so completely that the COUNTRY will be in economical SLAVERY A WORD Obama should dislike. It is true that Obama used his black heritage to gain power while down playing his white heritage. You never hear much about his white heritage. Ask yourself why? He like many others are not responsible for their birthing and he should be proud of who he is instead of playing one side against the other. Rev. Wright said it better than anyone else. Obama does what he has to do to gain POWER.

I am pretty sure that all those products that pulled out Glenn Beck's Show are simply AFRAID because of today's double standard situation. The word "racist" will become de 'R WORD" very soon. It is so ridiculous! EVERYBODY IS RACIST!! I'm not confortable with that, but it's the truth. People tend to unite with their own. Glenn Beck is one of my favorite and I only hope that other Companies will have the guts to fill out those empty spaces. After all, this is a great move... since now people are going to watch the show (even those who doesn't agree with Glenn) just for the heck of it. Forgive my "Ricky Ricardo's English"... GO GLENN! YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES AND YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT !!!

How would anyone know whether our President is a racist?! Are we to believe Glenn Becks words as gospel?! What gives him to the right to judge other lest he not be judged himself? Mr. Beck merely says ridiculous things on TV because he wants to be noticed. Well now he's been noticed and what a fool he makes of himself. Last time I looked our President was not crying on the boob tube about how unfair life is for himself. Glenn needs to look in the mirror before casting his own judgements. I would laugh at Glenn's show if it were not so sad to see a desperate man trying to jusify his hatred of others. What a joke!!

sorry falcon, you should read more..Beck quit the Clinton News Network to go to Fox. Funny you missed that but maybe you only watch the Network News between tokes on the 'ol hookah. Free speech is a wonderful thing but be careful who you back, or we just might lose ours. Read up on the history of the pre-second world war germany, and the imposed crises they had to deal with.....but don't get me wrong, I'm not calling anyone a nazi, unlike the left which likes to throw that one on anyone who disagrees with them.....read, read, read more, you'll be amazed at what you can learn. Yours...just a hick from Nevada

Don't know what is slanderous exactly about calling Obama a "racist". He decided to use the Cambridge case as a "teaching moment," well here's the lesson, somehow he managed to convince enough people he wasnt an ultra left wing, socialist, fascist nut job hellbent on completely changing the fabric of our country & still get elected president, how about he acts like it and not jump into fights beyond his intelligence & job description and continue running the country into the ground until the republicans take back congress in 2010 & hes a lame duck 4 the last 2 years in office. Don't assume hard working white cops are racists after admitting u dont know all the facts, dont have ur puppets in congress using the race card anytime someone disagrees w/ the heathcare intiative. whos the racist?

Freedom of Speech doesn't mean we are entitled to a successful radio or TV program. As an AT&T customer, I'm happy to hear they pulled their ads. I'm a former Republican and most of my friends and family are still Republicans. I sense they are embarassed by Beck and Limbaugh. I have listened occasionally to get the other side of the argument, but I find the O'Reilly Factor a more reasonable glimpse of the right's positions. BTW, I read Audacity of Hope and Pres. Obama is really a pragmatist. He will meet Republicans in the middle if they will come.

Let's get a couple things straight, Obama has 3 blacks in his cabinet, Bush had 4. Obama has 2 black ambassadors & an Attorney General, Bush had blacks in charge of the State Dept., NSC, Education & Housing and Urban Development. Bush also had 3 high ranking hispanic cabinet members, so much for a racist. His father was also one of 2 presidents to nominate a black for the lifetime position of supreme court justice. Wow what a bunch of racists. (Sarcasm) Another thing "thetruthis" moron maybe you'd think that a guy who was raised by his white mother and white grandparents in a white suburb, given every opportuntiy thanks 2 their efforts after being abandoned by his black father that he'd have some respect for whites and not assume they r racists as in the case of the "stupid white cops."

8/24/2009 9:54:53 PM PST
Hmmmm. First, Glenn Beck has the entitlement to his opinion with regards to the President much in the same manner everyone else has with the previous President, what is the difference here? None. Second, the topic of President Obama making comments regarding the professor and the officer, much like much of what Obama has done so far, clearly outlines a man with no experience and should never had commented or made his opinion because he is the President. As the President, he should clearly operate on facts, we have learned that from our previous President that relied too much on such approach. If there is anything he could possibly learn is never repeat history, learn from it. Lastly, this leadership is so screwed up I fail to see how much more worse this can possibly get.

I tell you what America,the citizens of this great country had better wake up. Lord Barry is a racist even though he was born to a white mama and raised by white Grand parents.He married a full blooded 100% black lady.She wears the pants in that house and it is plain to see.He is ashamed of the fact that he is a white man.Yes Barry you are white.Your Mama was white so that makes you white.LOL.Learn to live with it.You are only 1/2 black.Your own words were that you are a mutt.-----So people of America leave Glen Beck alone.Companies of America this is so stupid to pull your advertizing because of what Glenn Beck said.He spoke the truth and God knows it.The truth will stand when the world is on fire !!!!!!!!! Beck for president in 2012

Sometimes I feel like the Glen Beck fans are taking Crazy Pills!! Obama is Half White. He was raised by his grandparents who were white! What is wrong with you people?? Just because you said a white cop acted stupidly doesn't make you a racist. The cop did act stupidly, in fact they both did. As far as free speech goes Glen has the right to say idiotic thing he wants. (He is an idiot) But the sponsors don't have to pay for it. (its called the free market) I think trying to reason with people that watch his show would be like talking to a dining room table. Judging from the comments of his fans they aren't much smarter than furniture. lol

Very hard to imagine a guy like Barak who sits in s church for 20 years under a preacher who is a black racist preaching weekly anti-white messages and NOT absorbing and agreeing with the message/ministry, isn't it? Oh, and you want to talk about the Bush admin debt due to a war on terror he didn't ask for? Well, the Obomination has led us into more debt than ALL THE PAST PRESIDENTS COMBINED in just 8 months in office and there is NO END IN SITE! Taking over auto industry, banking industry & now wants healthcare industry. AMERIKA under Socialism is the change this guy wants, including payback on whitey! Get ready for double digit inflation next year along with record unemployment. If you thought 10% was high, just wait. Yeah, now that's CHANGE we can really believe in isn't it?

We also are productive citizens who are willing to help others who are willing to try to help themselves. Only those who don't want to be productive like to receive their free help from the gov't. One might call them "willing slaves"

obama has inheireted a huge mess and is very passionate about his position as PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA . Fox news attacks everyone that does not share their own thoughts and ideas. President Obama is attacked for every move he makes... its really sad if you ask me. Glenn Beck is just trying to hurt our country and make the democrats look bad... its what he and the network do... im glad he said it though its just shedding the light on himself and the network.

Glenn should teach some of his followers how to spell. Only retards can withdraw from these companies! If these companies failed to withdraw their interest, they would be charged with conforming to Beck's ideas and beliefs. Personally, if my company was a sponsor of a show and the host made abrasive comment, I would withdraw my interest whether he was White, African, Asian, Latino,Native etc! stop playing divisive politics, I mean you cannot live like a psychotic island man! I mean I am not completely liberal nor am I a hardheaded conservative, but I am forced to shop at places like Home Depot that endorsed John McCain! Wake up and smell the coffee, beck is a liberal, he only makes money by spewing hatred that right wing rednecks want to hear!!! get your head out of your arses and be smart

I thought we had the right to free speech or does that only qualify for liberals? They never minded when they were bashing our last president to a pulp every chance they got. Stop being Hypocrites if you don't like Beck's message DON'T watch. That is what I have been doing with mainstream media for years now. He has every right to state what his opinions are he is not forcing you to agree or have the same opinions he is just giving you his take on a situation. So enough is enough BECK keep it up there are many who will continue to support you and FOX. Thank you for reporting the real news to us!!!!

Regardless of what political party you support or what race you are, it is still our right to voice opinion. What Glenn said was his opinion and I thought that was his right as an American. I am also pretty sure he can give a reason as to why he feels this way. I am a firm believer in Jesus, and a devout Christian. Obama has openly mocked the bible and I don't recall that being made into a huge deal like this. That should be a much bigger issue. That being said..in my opinion, anything said against Christians or White people seems to get overlooked a lot. I know for a fact if Obama or Oprah said the same about Glenn Beck, it wouldn't be such a stink. Maybe we should focus on more important issues...like bringing this country back to where it should be.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH, BUT WITHOUT OFFENDING ANY ONE. HOW ABOUT HAVE SOME RESPECT. HIS COMMENTS WILL ONLY MOTIVATE HATE TOWARDS HIM AND HIS BEVOLED PARTY OF RACISTS REPUBLICANS. WE SHOULD WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREATER AND BETTER.HE SHOULDN'T GET FIRED BUT BANNED FROM ANY TV SHOW OR RADIO... AND LEAST BUT NOT LAST GOOD JOB FOR THOSE COMPANIES THAT WITHDREW THEIR ADVERTISEMENT FROM THIS MANIAC... I MEANT FOX.

This proves that sponsors control the media. Glen Beck cannot speak freely. As a Hispanic citizen I concur with Mr. Beck. Obama loves only those white people and Latinos that promote his Manchurian candidate agenda. If he had his way and non-black people had no power, the entire cabinet would be composed of ass kissing black folks and arrogant whities---wait a minute---it is. As it stands, black folks (and other poor) in the Inner Cities are turning against this phony in droves. Obama is just the perfect continuation of Bush and all these other "plants". Phony!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8/24/2009 8:27:21 PM PST
Ya'll are just jealous that Glenn has the guts to say what most of us want to. Why is it that when a liberal speaks his/her mind it's o.k. but when a conservative speaks out it's almost demonic? It's o.k. for blacks to call the whites racist but a white man can't call a black man racist? That's just wrong. Sad part is, I see it on a daily basis, especially where Obama is concerned. Maybe not from him, in particular, but his followers (or what used to be his followers).

I guess the fact that this is untrue hasn't stopped them from posting this. Clorox, Johnson & Johnson, Proctor & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and others have said they did not pull their advertising from Beck's show because of what he said, the problem was that as a matter of company policy they do not advertise on political or opinion programs. Color of Change made this up to try and act like they had power over him, they have the right to boycott the advertisers but they did not cause them to pull their ads. The other problems are they caused ratings to go up for Beck and the advertisers never pulled the ads from Fox so it never hurt anyone there.

Why is it that "Racist" is exclusive for people of color to desribe a white. The door can and has swong both ways. To Mr. Beck state your opinon. I don't need sponsers to tell me if I agree or disagree with you. I do have a mind. To you sponcers consider "you are now boycotted" from this indpendent thinking Native American, and God bless you.

Glenn Beck has the freedom to say what he wants about Obama, or George Bush or any politican he chooses. This is what makes America great. I say ask questions about why Obama and the people he is around support ex-black panthers and leftist groups like acorn and moveon.org these group are absolutely racist. Check them out, you will agree. Glen speaks his mind and you have to admit Obama certainly rushed to judgement when he said that the police in Boston "ACTED STUPIDLY". He did not know the detail of the situation and already had a racist viewpoint that the white cops had to be in the wrong. Then Barack, like he always does changed his tune when he learned the truth of the situation. Its okay to challenge Obama!!! Nobody had a problem dogging BUSH. Come on!

If anything, Barack Obama is a Racist! I will not call him one, but for anyone to chastize Beck for his opinion is exactly the way this country is headed....away from the Constitution ans we have known it. We are entering into a socialist society and next comes communism. I can only hope that the American public recognizes this and votes appropriately for their next congress. If things are left as is, we are doomed. A president that does not consider the people is bad for this country and the only way to control this freak is to elect a congress to control his dictator ways. I feel strrongly that his agenda is to wreck America as we know it.

I called this a month ago. The "hate the rich" play is not working so now it is race. The momenteum in this contry is that if you disagree with this President you are a racist. That statement is false I have always been a small government, Constitutional orgianalist, less taxes Conservative. I disagree with President Obama who "wants to fundementally change America". , He sat in Jerimiah Wright's church for twenty years. I would no way consider him a "racially tolerent" person. Some of that rhetoric has had to seep in. The "get over it "crowdneeds to get over it also. Lemmings do nothing but die by running over the cliff. His foreign policy is naive, his economic stimulus failed to the point that they had to re-name it, healthcare is a powergrab

It is my belief that Obama is looting the treasury and taking command of as much power as he can get. Now that his goon squad[tzars] are being exposed I expect him to ratchet up his agenda and carry off as much as he can before being ousted.

The truth is.... Obama may or may not be a racist, but he is a liar. He said that there would be no special interest people in his cabinet, There are dozens. He said that the stimulus bill would have no earmarks, there were over 2000. He spoke on the case saying the police officer was stupid, without knowing any of the facts. What does that say about the man. Is he racist? I don't know, but a very good case could be made to prove such a statement. He is the president and I wish that he would act like it by doing what he swore to do "Protect and defend the Constitution of The United States."

While I disagree with his statement, I believe Glenn Beck has unintentionally, but brilliantly, illustrated the invisible double-standard so pervasive in modern American society. If Mr. Beck had himself been called a racist by a popular African-American personality, the same people would be calling for the same advertisers to boycott GLENN BECK. I pray we can one day stop this nonsense, allow others to share opinions opposed to our own without making a fuss, and find harmony with one another. This should be a non-story.

Glenn Beck is just as much a racist as barrack obama is. Where is this great change that he was going to bring to this country? I personally think he is systematically destroying the country and the constitution. I am not a "Brown shirt" and I don't belong to any mob and I stand behind Glenn Beck. Thanks to him a lot of americans can see through the obama and the liberal agenda. The companies that pulled their advertisments have been bought off and I will no longer buy their products.

This is America and Glenn Beck has the 'right' to his opinion. If he thinks Obama is a Racist and in the US we DO still have FREEDOM of speech, then I say leave the man alone! It's his opinion! Just like my opinion is Obama is a muslim and has no business being the US President.

Sorry to all you folks but I agree with Mr.Beck.All you have to do is look at his cabinet and his so called "czars"Many of them have racists views against any American that dares to speak out against the Presidents policies.I have heard Thomas Sowell called an "uncle Tom"and Alberto Gonzales called a traitor to the Latin American community. I am white and proud of my heritage.I did not vote for President Obama because he was black,but because he is a liberal.I would be saying the same thing if Hillary or Mccain had won the election.None of the politicians just mentioned do not have my vision of where this country needs to go to put itself right.So if that makes me a racists so be it.I only want to hang out with Americans anyway.Socialist,liberals and elitists need not apply.

They follow this guy like a cult leader, even Glenn Beck knows Glenn Beck is full of crap.

I find it frightening when there are groups out there that want to stand in the way of freedom of speech. It is ashame that these advertisers will bend to the wishes of an organization like colorofchange.org. Glenn Beck is closing in on the Truth about Obama and they want to stop him. Keep it up Glenn. O yeah thanks for the list!!

I emailed the advertisers stating my objection to trying to control free speech. If they advertise on the networks and not Fox/Beck over "any comment" I consider the actions Un-American and won't buy from them. It's not the comment that bothers me; it’s the PC attitude of these companies. I am going to make an effort to watch fox and list the brands that advertise on it. I will buy from them. Let these pansy companies we-we in the lost of the bosses quarterly bonus and see what that does to his annual bonus. Marketing is about reach and frequency. You need 85% distribution to justify advertising. If they think they can do without half of the population I wish them well. NOT!

i geuss some people think that only "white people" can be racist. Even i as a person of "color" think the President is a racist in many ways. If you look at some of the things he says and does it is definitely there. Just because his maternal grandparents/mom were white does not mean anything. If that was true there would be no racism in this country because "mix race" chldren are defintely on the rise. IN 30 years there probably will be no one who can be considered purely white, black, mexican or any thing else.

Come on people - if the NYTimes or NPR called Obama a racist, no one on the left would even blink! Freedom of speech works whether you are conversative or liberal! It's funny how the forefathers of this country considered all sides of an issue before putting it into the Constitution as the First Amendment - probably before most of your relatives even landed on the shore of this country - and if you don't like it, you can leave anytime!

I also have told others that I think Obama is a racist of convenience...I think he's got some personal issues about the parents who abandoned him. He plays Chicago politics...use whatever dirty trick you can to get what you want. Glenn Beck tends to get a little hyperbolic in his statements, but I think he speaks from his astute observational skills. Those who want to characterize people who disagree with the socalist agenda of the democrats of the hard left as "dumb rednecks" fail to notice that most of the people objecting are normal every-day people. People who don't like the bait and switch of the Obama admin. You keep on Glenn!!! By the by, the dixiecrats were stupid democrats who were racists who opposed the civil rights movement...you must be too young to know the facts!!LOL!

You didn't marry a mexican-american but a mexican or an american. American gov't doesn't recognize dual citizenship and never has. AND there's a reason for it. It's the melting pot. Glenn Becks words were quite accurate though they could have been much better used. Obama said 'stupid', beck said 'racist'. Obama is the president of our great nation. So, does that mean he can say what he wants or that he has a greater responsibility to hold his tongue especially over a freakin COMMENTATOR. A COMMENTATOR. It's amazing to see the drivle the lefty wankers can spew when they are called out. Obama isn't just a lefty, liberal but is admittedly racist and no, not because 'we all are' or some idiocy like that but just because he is. Slanderous? LOL Look it up. And it has nothing to do with bush dimw

As the saying goes. " Follow the money" Pressure was put the advertisers by the organization "Color of Change.org". Who started this organization was none other than Mr. Van Jones, who happens to be the Green Czar in Obama's Czar cabinet. Glenn has been very vocal and critical of Van Jones because of his communist ties. This is not as much about Obama as it is Van Jones and his determination to rid Glenn Beck's freedom of thought and speech. I can't believe these companies are expressing righteous and patriotic condemnation of Glenn Beck as they are frighten by the pressure tatics placed on them by The Color of Change.org. If they were then they would not be advertising on MSNBC, CNN and the other state ran medias for thier misrepresentations of those who speak out againist the left.

Yes, and the media continues to fan the fire when a white/black issue arises. Thanks for letting us know what companies have removed themselves from the Glen Beck show. I too will boycott those companies. Mr Beck, don't let the few get you down. Continue to speak up, if we disagree with you, we have that right. You know it and the rest of you should know it.

I read al theses comments about free speech and it sickens me. Free speech does give a person the right to say dumb stuff about the president. But it seems to me the advertisers exercised their freedom of speech by pulling their ads. They said "hey glenda, we dont like what you said". Some of you crazies blame obama. Where were you when bush sold us a pile of lies and dog &^% to get us to were we are today? Oh yeah thats right some how it was all clintons fault ad it just happened to hit during the 8 years of the great bushy. Lets be honest....glenn beck is the racist. he hates that a black man is president and its his job to fan the flames for the other haters. He does a good job. All you supporters should be proud of him. PS i wonder how many of you supporters are white?.

And before you say Im racist (because your tone shows that will be your comment) (see how easy that is) Im sure my black wife and my mexican kids would appreciate some idiot of a stranger calling their family racist who served this country 11yrs protecting the rights we are talking about here.

Conservatives have been called that, senior citizens , people who question the President and his agenda are called that.......isn't it time we practiced the freedom quaranteed us by our constitution, in fact questioning the government is WHY we have these freedoms. For companies to boycott a commentator on TV for his opinion is downright ridiculous and shameful, and downright unAmerican. I for one will not buy from them. If the President is claiming he is a uniter than perhaps he should act like one. Glenn Beck was saying that OBama by jumping on the police officer for acting "stupidly" in the incident with the Harvard professor was the racisit....NO KIDDING! Glenn Beck is one American to be proud of.

I'm so tired of the left name calling and bashing anyone who disagrees. I have to agree with Mr. Beck, I do believe Obama is a RACIST. His comment about the Cambridge PD speaks loudly to that fact. By his own admission, "I don't have all the facts yet, but... " he was willing to call the PD "Stupid" because a black man was involved and in Obama's mind, it had to be racist. I am so tired of the strong armed, Chicago style politics that's exhibited everyday by the White House. The Left called Bush racist, we heard "death to Bush" and where was the outcry. I for one will keep a list of the companies pulling their ads and I will "pull my support". Last time I checked America was still free.

Obama is an overt racist--he has never been anything BUT...but since he's black, then it's allowed. Beck is simply a news analyst, and an advocate of traditional values. He loves his country, and its traditions. Obama opposes all that and wants to make America into a socialist nation, with all control in the hands of---Obama. I now see all the 'advertizers' who pulled their ads as political operatives who have joined sides with the socialists in BHO's administration. This strategy will ultimately hurt them--speaking for myself, they are already dead to me. Has anyone noticed our economic system is nearly done for, and Obama is still pouring vast amounts of cash into every problem he sees? In the end he will ruin us and then we will have a challenge, to rise up from the ashes.

But, we also have freedom of speech, which makes this the great country it is. Beck's are no worse than the far Left wing ACLU comments about republican presidents. And it will continue this way, but I do agree with Mr. Beck's comments. Yes, I am white, republican, and proud of it.

What's racist is this, white people are still upset with the election, get over it !!! and get over Mike Vick while we are on racism!!! What's more, President Obama was raised by his two loving grandparents that are white and his cabinet is 70% white while bush's cabinet was 99% white!! That's racist!!

It is a sad day when you can call an African American on the carpet for many obvious biggoted statements he has made on the air, as well as in print in his own book, and you are then attacked for being a "RACIST". Aren't you peple tired of double stndards? Glenn Beck is just one guy who "Questioned" the "Hateful" comments from our president towards an honorable officer and his whole dept. without even knowing the facts. So now, this group of African American radicals have chosen to attack his source of income. Interesting that they just happen to be closely associated with the guy that Glenn has spotlighted on his Czars programs. I cancelled my A T & T service and will no longer spend my money with any of advertizers who pulled ads on his show. I suggest you all do the same

I'm a proud Democrat threfore the only time I really watched your show was after the Obama election just to get a kick outta of the staunch Republican remarks. It was really the only entertaining quality I've ever noticed when you were all crying over the election. You need to just go away...ya know.

THANK YOU GLENN, FOR TELLING THE TRUTH EVEN WHEN IT ISN'T POPULAR! OBAMA IS SUCH A "BAD SPORT". IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH HIM, HE PLAYS THE RACE CARD. THE MEDIA DOES THE SAME THING. YOU SPEAK OUT AGAINST OBAMA AND HIS POLICIES AND THEY LABEL YOU A NAZI. SUCH A DOUBLE STANDARD. REMEMBER KANYE WEST CALLING PRESIDENT BUSH A RACIST BECAUSE OF HURRICAN KATRINA?

GLENN BECK; IS A VERY PROFESSIONAL JOURNALIST AND NEWS ANCHOR REPORTER. Iin this country there is freedom of speech, what a person says or thinks is a due process of the american system. all the top commentators are saying the same thing every day. SO THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN CONTEXT OR THEY WOULDNIT SAY IT. GLENN BECK SHOULD BE PRAISED AND NOT CHASTSIED. HE IS THE BEST REPORTER AND IS VERY HONEST AND I BELIEVE WOULD NOT HURT ANYBODY. EVEN JOAN HAMBURG OR AS I CALL HER MOTHER THERESA SAYS, HE IS A SUPER PERSON AND SHOULD BE PRAISED AS AN OUTSTANDING JOURNALIST. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MR. GLENN.

Glenn Beck is not mentally stable or normal. Having been an addict for a long time, he exhibits signs that he still has major issues with self control, only with anger, not drugs. I used to watch him, but quickly saw how mean and vindictive he is. I can't believe anyone would continue to watch him. Regardless of one's feelings about the President, attacking him personally just makes one look unintelligent. I am sad that his show is on the air.

So much for adertisors supporting freedom of speech and thought. I wonder why "ColorOfChange" is in such an uproar about someone acusing someone else of having discrimanatory outlook toward other people. I would think that that is what they are there to point out to people.

Sad, but true comment. I believe Glenn Beck tells it the way he sees it. Obviously, the left can't remember when George Bush was in office and boy did they let the mud sling. Get over it.

I'm a HUGE Glenn Back fan because he's the only one with cajones to call it like he sees it. I will continue to watch Glenn wherever he may be broadcast. If the advertisers choose to cow-tow to the liberals and leftists, I guess I won't be hearing their jingles and ads. And you know what they say -- "out of sight, out of mind." Oh my! I'll just "forget" to buy their products -- as I'm sure many GB fans will, as well.

I would have a problem with Glenns commit if it weren't true. I believe Obama has a belief that there is a class of elite black that are better than all others. The belief makes him a racist not only to white but to "lower level" blacks, white, and all other races.

This is a great country when even an idiot like Glenn Beck can get his own show. Of course the only stationthat will hire him is Fox - the Republican propaganda network, so he can hang with all of the other losers. I actually feel sorry for the guy when I listen to him stutter and slur his words between drinks.
