Don’t screw around on Fox News, like Glenn Beck does, and expect nobody to notice. ColorOfChange, was watching and when Glenn Beck called President Obama a racist, with a “deep hatred of white people” they sprung into action.
So far 57 advertisers have listened to Color of Change, eleven more just recently:
Eleven new companies whose ads were recently seen during Beck’s program [are gone]
Binder & Binder,
Capital One,
The Dannon Company,
Discover,
HSBC,
ICAN Benefit Group Insurance,
Infiniti,
Jelmar (manufacturer of CLR All-Purpose Cleaner),
Jordan McKenna Debt Counseling Network,
Mercedes-Benz
Simplex Healthcare (creator of the Diabetes Care Club)
Free speech, you betcha. But you have to admire the companies who have made the moral and ethical decision not to support Glenn Beck and his ridiculous attack.
UPDATE: Apparently I’ve gotten on some looney list and the Beckers are rallying. If you’re new here, check this out:
Sarah Palin is no longer the governor of the largest state closest to Russia that isn’t Canada.
Fox News has offered Sarah 4 hours of television time every evening, basically making the channel the PalinFox Night Report.
In addition Palin will get to “go live” with Rupert Murdoch when she is in town and get a large minority interest in Fox News and the New York Post, which will be renamed Chit Chat From Sarah and change to an 8 1/2″ x 11″ format.
Sarah Palin and Rupert Murdoch have been spitballing ideas for her program on Fox News but so far Lucky Sarah hasn’t come up with something Uncle Rupert will approve:
Rejected Sarah Palin progams on Fox News:

“Some people out there in our nation don’t have maps”
Apparently Miss South Carolina teen thought the Appalachian Trail was someplace in South America and she advised Gov. Mark Sanford to say he was out walking in the woods – the Appalachian Trail. (Yeah, wood was involved.) Because…
“Some people out there in our nation don’t have maps”
But I am a writer and we writers are always looking for good excuses. Oh, my article’s late. Sorry, I was “hiking the Appalachian Trail”. Oh, forgot to take the trash out. Couldn’t. I was “hiking Appalachian Trail”. I didn’t sneak out to buy a box of Krispy Kremes. Oh, no. I was “hiking the Appalachian Trail”. Didn’t get my (fill in the blank here) in on time. Well, you know, I was “hiking Appalachian Trail”.
No cracks about how secret negotiations to bring a rare Argentinian puma to the Columbia Zoo were disrupted by a cougar. No gags about a South Carolina education that blurred the difference between all those “A” countries (Argentina, Appalachia, Alaska, etc.). No assertions that he was looking for political tips from the corpse of Juan Peron, or that he visited the Falkland Islands to study how he might defend his state from an invasion by Tennessee, or that he became a desaparecido, another of the forced disappearances that characterized the country’s Dirty War of the 1970s.
You want to see a picture of María Belén Chapur or Shapur? So does everybody else. She has been on the top of Google search for hours. Think you can’t remain anonymous on the innerweb? María Belén Chapur has done a magnificent job of avoiding having her picture posted online.
Somebody thought they had María Belén Chapur, and even connected it to where she worked. But that was all a foul up.
