Just another fine example of how tolerant the Left actually is. They believe in the right to free speech and that demonstrating against the government is patriotic, unless it is in opposition to them.

I love Glenn Beck's show. And I fear for it.

Looks like Glenn Beck *has* lost the advertisers, as you wrote.

However, the loss of the advertisers does not prove that Beck was giving false information to his audience, does it? Below I copy-pasted excerpts from the LA Times link (the last one in your post).

I'm still waiting for proof that Glenn Beck is a liar or a racist.

… An advertising boycott against Fox News host Glenn Beck has succeeded in keeping most major sponsors from running commercials on his show even as the controversial commentator's viewership has grown.

Beck attracted 2.81 million viewers Monday, his third-largest audience since his show launched on Fox News in January, according to Nielsen Media Research data provided by the network. On Tuesday, nearly 2.7 million viewers tuned in, his fifth-largest viewership to date. And the conservative host got a plug from former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who urged people to watch his program in a post on her Facebook page.

“FOX News' Glenn Beck is doing an extraordinary job this week walking America behind the scenes of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and outlining who is actually running the White House,” she wrote Wednesday to her 800,000-plus supporters.

Glenn Beck’s response to all that was:

And for his part, Beck appears invigorated by the challenge. “Even if the powers to be right now succeed in making me poor, drum me out … I will only be stronger for it,” he said on the air Wednesday. “And I will use American ingenuity and my ingenuity to pull myself up, and I will find another way to get this message out, on a platform that will be a thousand times more powerful. Because of my faith, I know how this story ends. The truth will set you free.”

… he has argued vehemently that the Obama administration is being infiltrated by radicals seeking to undermine the U.S. Constitution.

“I have demonstrated that these radicals are not only instrumental in shaping legislation that is being jammed through at light speed, they are also by invitation personally advising the president of the United States,” he said Wednesday, calling them “radical wolves that are about to devour our republic.”

One of his most frequent targets is Van Jones, special advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. In 2005, Jones co-founded Color of Change with James Rucker, the group’s executive director. Beck supporters have charged that Color of Change launched the boycott of Beck's show in retaliation for the host's criticism of Jones. …

And I also fear for America ... The Land of the Free is losing its way.

Actually, it's not just the left it's the right too. The right, and left are working together on this. Were not breaking his free speech. He can talk all he wants, but his ads don't have to deal with him.

So it's free speech to say whatever you want? Fine I accept that.

Then if you disagree you have two choices - try and stop the speaker or just stop supporting the speaker. The first is a clear violation of free speech. the second.... is what?

The racism claim!

I didn't quote every thing it's was to long.

I think the thing that got me motived was when he acted out posing Nancy Pelosi, and implying that someone should follow through with killing her. This is, what got me motived to boycott his sponsors.

So it's free speech to say whatever you want? Fine I accept that.

I am not sure what you mean. Boycotts are legal here in the states.

Oh OH looks like I'll have to distract SC with a bottle of rum to get at her silver arrrrrg lol

The left and right debate is complicated. To put it simple the right cares about the bottom line and the left cares about the person at the bottom (ok not really). Finding a middle ground is far to difficult as has been proven the case. The elite take from the bottom person hence the bail outs and who were they abused by, the elite. Is Glen Beck a mouth piece for the elite or does he truly care. Given the owners of Fox and any sort of MSM they protect the elite and as always let the bottom guy pay. America's government is owned and operated by the elite that the media is told to support to be the public figurehead or mouth piece.

It's a lose lose situation no matter. It won't get better or worse because of Beck. I don't care for the guy that much but he can spout off all he wants for all I care. I really didn't see the cohession between the dems and pubs till Obama was elected and given a year to do something. Now I have little faith America will be able to pull out of a worthless voting system and a two party government. It looks bad as Obama si not the hope or solution America was in so much need of.

I think Iron ora is better.

I think uranium is a little better, just don't eat it

We all know you love to watch Glenn cry like a baby. thats a well known fact here on U.M.

[SilverCougar]

Seriously.. does he have to cry? He knows how silly it makes him look..

[Sir Wearer of Hats]

I am not sure what you mean. Boycotts are legal here in the states.

What I mean is that some people here are damning the people who withdrew their support for Beck as being part of a Liberal Hypocrisy.

That tells you right there that he is speaking the truth. He is a threat to thier power.

[Cadetak]

Companies do not want their products being pegged to a man who is looney tunes...it gives off a bad image which makes the whole point of advertising counter productive.

Simple as that.
