P&G, Progressive Pull Ads From Glenn Beck's Fox Show After "Obama Is Racist" Remarks

http://industry.bnet.com/advertisin...becks-fox-show-after-obama-is-racist-remarks/

Fox is proving uniquely sensitive to advertising boycott campaigns this summer. Three major advertisers — LexisNexis-owned Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble and Progressive Insurance – all abandoned Glenn Beck’s Fox News Channel show after he called President Obama a racist (video below).

The move comes after Fox axed host Steven Cohen from Fox Soccer Channel because Cohen repeatedly — and incorrectly — blamed Liverpool F.C. supporters for the death of 96 fans in a stadium crush, at one point singing, “Murderers, murderers.” At least four advertisers, including Heineken, withdrew support from Cohen’s shows.

When will we see Beck crying again?

Well sorry but the truth is-- President Obama is a racist. Don't you remember the Eric Holder incident? A nation of cowards on race? I guess, in the sense-- Blacks & other ethnic minorities are too cowardly to let Whites talk about real race issues. Sorry but Obama and his Bolchevick gang are scumbag racists. It's sad to see Obamabot Stalinists who have such thin skin that they can't let anyone criticize their racist messiah.

 

[BlackTerrel]

Beck's comment that "Obama hates white people" is incredibly dumb and I doubt Beck even believes it himself. He's just half white and raised by white people after all.

This has nothing to do with free speech, this is free market and certain brands not wanting to be associated with a lunatic.

Steve Cohen lost his job for similarly stupid remarks.

I don't care if Obama was raised by a white woman, who from what I hear kept abandoning him throughout his life. He believes in big-government socialist that has always been indoctrined with Communist doctrine. And it just so happens most Communists want to remove the white race, as they see it as the evil capitalist force that grips the world. Never to mind, like I said above-- the Attorney General called America a nation of cowards when it came to race-- which to me, seemed to imply Whites were cowardly. And where is Marxist Leader Obama coming out against Affirmative Action? Isn't AA inheriently racist? No, he won't touch that. Sorry, but Obama hates white people, like most Marxist & Communist revolutionaries.

As for the companies deciding to not advertise for Beck, that's their choice. But Glenn Beck right now is the only one on that Liberal Socialist Republican network who is speaking the truth.

Andrew Napolitano, Tucker Carlson, Neil Cavuto, Greg Gutfeld?

Andrew Napolitano, Tucker Carlson, Neil Cavuto, Greg Gutfeld?

Tucker Carlson? LOL! The guy is a spineless little crybaby. Don't you remember him having a guest on his show calling Ron Paul a racist a day before the NH primrary? Or the time he ran out of Ron Paul's Rally for the Republic because of the John Birth Society? Haha.

Yeah Andrew Napolitano & Neil Cavuto are good, but to be honest-- they're no wheres as big as Glenn Beck, who is kind of a rising star. Even though I like Andrew Napolitano better than Glenn Beck, since he seems to agree with RP on foreign policy. I never heard of Gutfield.

Obama has a tendency to become racial.

His comments about the white police officer were questionable.

The cop's behavior was bad - but there was no special reason to believe that race played any role.

For a real shock about race behavior, read Michelle Obama's racist thesis: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8642.html

""I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second." "

all of this is from a university which actively stifles the entrance of whites for the benefit of minorities. And, the entire culture at the Ivy League is one of Marxist sociology, one in which people will bend over backwards for you if you are part of a "special group" - women, minorities, especially blacks.

Yes. Obama wants to remove the white race - of course. Why didn't I see this before

Beck can make certain solid points. But he's also an idiot and a crybaby.

Did Obama say that race played a role in the particular incident? No. He said the cops acted stupidly in arresting his friend. Which they did - they arrested a guy in his own home!

#1 that's the man's wife not him

#2 it was written 20 some odd years ago

#3 is that really the most explosive quote you can find? Big whoop!! A lot of times when she interacts with white people at Princeton she feels that they treat her differently because of her race. Oh my God. How racist of her

I agree, it's hardly a racist comment, and it's probably true. White people treat black people differently than white people, and black people treat white people differently than black people. That's not racist, it's just an observation of reality. I do agree that Obama doesn't have much love for white people though, based on his own writings and the friends he has chosen. People excuse his relationships by saying you don't have to have the same beliefs as your friends, but those same people would not find it unreasonable to assume that George Bush was a racist if he chose David Duke as a friend. Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future.

I remember something about Carlson's incident at the Rally for the Republic. Never paid much attention. But I never trust Tucker anyway. He still think he could've done great stuff on his old MSNBC show, granted it was MSNBC. Instead of promoting libertarian solutions to the world's problems, he just chattered about relatively insignificant b/s. Cavuto is just a businessman it seems. He was never a friend when Bush was in power. Beck and Napolitano are a decent team. Napolitano should be co-host to even out Beck's sporadic behavior and pro-war mentality. I always have to add my commentary.

Now on topic. Obama isn't racist necessarily, but he sure as hell hangs around some disgusting people who want racial "equality." Not Civil Rights Movement equal opportunities. More like racial reparations. Hence his Sotomayor nomination and shoving Clinton in at Sec. of State. Both are forced to try to make up for history. Beck goes overboard as always with these issues, but I don't totally disagree. Obama doesn't need to be full black to feel like he needs to repair the past. Think about all of his white followers who support the same stuff. The thing I fear here the most is that Faux will now try to reign in Beck from making any remarks remotely similar to assure other advertisers. UGH! These companies just suck. I will not be using their products & services.

I never heard of Gutfield.

Greg Gutfield is former editor of Maxim UK as well as a few other publications and is currently host of Faux's very late night show Red Eye. There is an interview with him at Reason.tv. Decent guy. Wish he did more interesting stuff though.

Low man on totem pole...

back in the 60s, before political correctness, the US army conducted somewhat secret tests to determine the IQ of various races. here are the results:

1) Asians in general
2) white
3) hispanic
4) native indian
5 blacks

not really surprising to me. but (i am white) lets look at the following scenario.

all things being equal, asians will score highest on many tests and exams. lets assume for a moment that asians would therefor be in most positions of power and influence. now how would the (for the moment) majority of white people like this? probably not one bit... we would yell 'discrimination', wouldn't we... well, now put yourself in the shoes of a black person. how do you think they feel? if we did not have some kind of affirmative action blacks would be totally underrepresented. it's a true dilemma....

BlackTerrel,

The day he was sworn into office, he had someone speaking at the event that spoke some very racist words. I don't recall his name, but I'm sure you remember who I'm talking about. While Obama is not responsible for what the guy said, one would think he would've known his stances prior to asking him to speak and if nothing else, he should've denounced what was said, after it was said. He didn't.

Obama's wife proclaimed shortly after Obama was elected that this was the first time she had been proud of America. Oh really?

Obama said more than once that "this is OUR time". Who is the "our", do you figure?

Opposed to his diatribe when he was campaigning, he doesn't appear that he is about bringing people together at all; he is about dividing us all along race, gender, sexual preference, religion and everything else.

Read The Bell Curve. Asian do score very high as a group on many tests. They also get a lot of positions in college admissions. Whites generally don't care if they are admitted with better test score than them. Whites have a problem when someone is given the position when scoring lower.

The majority of white people might not like it, but that's because they're stupid. I am white, but my IQ is well above that of the average white or asian. I'm more concerned with intelligent people being underrepresented than any racial group. For any position that requires high intelligence, 100% of the people holding that position should have the highest intelligence that can be found. That can not happen with affirmative action.

Who's test? What test?

Just how dumb you are depends on where ( or who's woods) you are standing.
You drop a city kid in the country and they are pretty dumb.
You put a country kid in the city , just as dumb.

The test means exactly nothing.

None of this, someone is a racist should matter. Would should defeat these people only principles and philosophy rather than trying to go after them on minor social issues that just piss everyone off. We'll never know if it is really true anyway.
