Comments on: A Glenn Beck Counter-Counter Boycott?

This statement opposing Glenn Beck’s statements in the name of “people who are fed up with the inflammatory rhetoric” consititutes nothing more than and ad populum attack on free speech. No one seems to be saying that this Web site cannot attack Glenn Beck’s character. You all seem to be availing yourselves of the presumed right to freely to say what you please. That’s what we used to call 1st Amendment rights (see below).

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

That will hold true until this new Sotomayor Supreme Court decides that the 1st Amendment does not apply to the states, which if you look at the text of the Amendment (above) — strictly speaking, it doesn’t.

This is where the Republic falls to communism and to the abuses of those who got their fair share from America but don’t want anyone else to.

You say it’s crazy to believe Obama is a racist: Someone please explain to me why he sat in the pews of Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years, was married by the good Rev, and dedicated a book to him, and on and on and on? (I guess most the left doesn’t even believe Wright is a racist and that the OJ Simpson jurors were impartial)

That’s okay – his new ratings are off the chart. Those advertisers will come crawling back! HAHA! Even if they don’t there are so many supporters – we can make up the difference in lost revenue! It’s worth it to watch liberals swallow their own medicine!

The wikipedia page is nearly as entertaining:

I particularly like the wikipedia controversy page:

HAHA! Great link! My dad actually bartended at Dick’s Halfway Inn. It’s down near Laurie, Missouri at the Lake of the Ozarks. We had a lake house down there for years.

Wow. Small world.

Beck has not taken losing sponsors lightly as supposedly he has been spending much of his off camera time alone crying in dark, musty stairwells. Check out his new ridiculous sponsors… http://unreasonablysafe.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/becksnewsponsors/

And if you call into his show and try to say something intelligent, Glenn Beck yells at you….

And that’s different from every other political or sports talk show on AM radio… how?

I have so little regard for Glenn Beck the notion of yelling at him is like yelling at a table. Of all the rightwing talking heads, I cannot figure out for the life of me why he has had any success.

Limbaugh, O’Reilly, and even Hannity are calculating SOBs who tailor there message to make a buck–Beck and Levin just spout nonsense without a thought behind it. They are truly, completely clueless

This isn’t gonna help Beck at all.

If you advertise on his show you get yelled at by the left. If you stop you get yelled at by the right. Solution: don’t start advertising on his show.

A simple case of the market reacting.
