If you want to be associated with the Huff Posts boycott that’s your choice.
That brings the total to 36 companies that have pulled their support from Beck or given explicit instructions that their ads are not to run on the show. It’s all because more than 160,000 ColorOfChange members connected the dots for Glenn Beck’s advertisers and called on them to stop supporting his show. We want to say thank you to everyone who’s participated in this campaign
Yeah. But not one who can count it seems. Not that I find this lack of intellectual ability to be a surprise.
glen beck says 2 million people marched in DC on 9/12 . First point one of them wasn’t glen beck and the official count seems more on the order of 75,000 (that thousands, not millions).
Just another sad example of right wing lying. I do understand. Boast about how you’ll mobilize millions of people. And only have 75K show up.
You know what I enjoy in all this. I realize that it is Progressive success that makes you folks so crazy. Something I have worked for for years. It’s to bad you righties don’t have the same belief in America that Progressives and Liberals share. We know the nation is meant to swing about the center and the founders designed our system to do exactly that.
Now I have no illusions that maintaining the momentum in 2010 and beyond will be easy. Fully expecting your resistance will be as viscious and as lacking in truth as always. Of course my real fear is that you will convince some of your more rabid sycophants (like glen beck) to remove their tin hats and let the voices take charge. Us on the left remember Martin and Bobby and know what your real wackos are capable of.
Sam Tennenhaus (sp?) the author of “The Death of Conservatism” said the other day that The righties with the biggest mouths are doing the exact opposite of conservatism…that being radicalism. I agree, the only thing they are conservative with is being bi-partisan. They do run kind of slim on that. With them it’s my way or the highway. No common ground.
