UPDATED: Obama Official Linked
to Racially Charged
Boycott of Glenn Beck
A racially charged activist group called “Color of Change” founded by Van Jones, a special advisor to the Obama Administration, is trying to silence popular radio and Fox News personality Glenn Beck by calling for a boycott of Beck’s TV advertisers.
On July 28th, Beck made a comment on the Fox & Friends morning show about Obama’s reaction to the arrest of Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. During the discussion of “Professor-Gate,” Beck connected the President’s past association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright to Obama’s comment that Cambridge police officer, Sgt. James Crowley, acted stupidly. Though Beck acknowledged most of the Obama administration is in fact white, he concluded that the President’s world experience made him a “racist.”
Now “Color of Change” has bullied at least five of Beck’s big advertisers -- SC Johnson, Progressive Insurance, Geico, Procter & Gamble and Nexus Lexis -- to pull their ads from Beck’s national cable program. Jones, the founder of “Color of Change,” was named Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality -- a key administrative post -- this past March.
Reports also claim that addition companies; Mens Wearhouse, Sargento, and State Farm Insurance will be excluding their ads from any rotation during Becks time slot. HUMAN EVENTS contacted Mens Wearhouse, Sargento, and State Farm to confirm these reports, our calls have not yet been returned.

My take:
If Glen Beck was lying, no one would give a good garsh darn. He would be a non-Issue.
I have posted these companies and I am calling for a boycott. Do what you want, me, I am spending my money where it will do the most good. Period.
By the way, any of you whiners out there crying about how hard it is to avoid these commie, socialist, fascist companies, you have a com-pute-r. Use it! Research your shopping list. Not hard at all.
My wife has used Tide for ever and after I told her about this she said she would wash the clothes on a rock at the river before she bought another bottle of Tide. I told her I'll get the camera, she pinched me, hard. Ouch! Darn mouth.
I will wrap my wounds with toilet paper before I buy another Band-Aid from SC Johnson. Edit: SC Johnson claims it has been erroneously listed and targeted. We'll see.

It appears that these companies are using their power ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) at the behest of an Obysmal drone ( Obama’s Green Jobs Czar, the convicted felon and self-declared communist Van Jones ) to push us around to promote their agenda. This is a literal assault on you and the first amendment. And please don't be fooled, in the case of Geico and Progressive, it isn't the company. It is the owner.
George Soros would be in here too if he had any advertising on Beck.
We haven't purchased a Sara Lee or any associated product for over ten years. There are many others. If you continue to purchase from companies that stick a knife in your back, you are an idiot. (That was a rhetorical comment mainly and not meant to insult anyone but rather to point out the idiots. So if your feelings are hurt, well. . . .)
This is the same thing as the billboard companies not allowing a simple questioning of Obysmal to be placed on their boards. OK, their right but it is my right to advertise elsewhere forever.
If enough of the 80 million gun owners and several million others with like minds, i.e. Conservatives, would get off their posteriors and do more than just offer lip service, we might actually see some "CHANGE" for a change.
Make your voice heard. Dang it!
