Ever since Barack Obama has been elected president, the right wing NUT JOBS have been having a field day with their criticism of “EVERYTHING OBAMA.” From the “homey handshake“ between Obama and President Hugo Chavez, to the “baggy jeans“ to the “the cop acted stupidly”, there has been a backlash against the president. And that includes political pundits who have shot off their mouths with impunity. Well it looks like one of those pundits, Glenn Beck, has put his big foot in his even BIGGER MOUTH and it is going to cost him and his TV station.
On a number of occasions, Beck has called President Obama “a racist” and has said that Barack “hates white people.” He has also stated this on his radio show. As usual, the “home network, Fox“, immediately distanced itself from Beck’s statement but nothing else was done. Since there is NO EVIDENCE that this statement is true, and only seems to have been made because Beck is one of the “my America People” these statements have been found to have offended many people. If is for that reason, there has been a concerted effort by members of the Colorofchange.org has contacted Fox sponsors and threatened a boycott unless they discontinue supporting Beck’s nonsense. And “big business” has listened!
CVS, Wal-Mart, Clorox, Sprint, and 29 other business have requested that their commercials not be aired during Beck’s show. And as we all know, advertising helps pay the bills. And for big name advertisers to request that Beck not benefit from their ads is HUGE!
Hopefully this will send a chill through the other loud mouths. Among them, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Beck. Not to stop their right to “freedom of Speech” but to let them know that those days of “unchallenged racism and racist remarks are OVER!”
