Some of the latest defections include Allstate Insurance, Anheuser-Busch, Idaho Potato Commission, Marriott International, Volkswagen, and Western Union. Some of their comments:
– “We in no way want to promote the hateful rhetoric of Mr. Glenn Beck, and therefore take this matter very seriously,” said Dino Balzano, director of advertising at Concord Music Group, parent company of Hear Music, in an email to ColorOfChange.org.
– “We do not intend to have any additional ad placements during the program,” said Jeff Flaherty, spokesperson for Marriott International, in an email to ColorOfChange.org. “I’d like to point out that diversity and inclusion are core values at Marriott and an essential component of our success.”
I'm still pondering whether or not this is good news. While I have major issues with Glenn Beck, I cannot help but wonder if the reasons for pulling advertiser support are less than honorable. Could it be that they didn't like the truth that Glenn Beck did present?
Well, either way, it shows the importance to cling to the truth and nothing but the truth.
In a press release today, James Rucker of Color of Change noted the StopBeck effort’s success in pulling so many sponsors from Glenn Beck in the U.K. that his show has run ad-less for the last six consecutive days.
Color of Change also announced additional sponsors that dropped Glenn Beck in the United States. Thirteen of these sponsors were not already on our list of 103 dropped sponsors. When added, they bring the total number of dropped sponsors for Glenn Beck to 116.
These 13 additional sponsors are:
Allstate Insurance
Anheuser-Busch
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals (maker of Flomax)
Brother International Corporation
Idaho Potato Commission
Intersections Inc.
Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School
Marriott International
Republic of Macedonia
United Healthcare
US Fidelis
Volkswagen
Western Union
If you notice, everyone from Mark Levine to Laura Ingram to Gibbs have the same ~blanket~ sponsors. They pay Fox, who in turn get all thier people to sell the ~blanket~ product.
He's lost a whole lot of unique sponsors, but I'm of the same mind as Khomar... are they leaving for all the wrong reasons?

~Live life to its fullest... with open arms, an open heart and most importantly, an open mind.~
They've played the race card, the evil white banker card. They've played the anti-semite card, the "they kill us for our freedoms" card. They've WAY overplayed the economic card.
The only card they have left to divide/split/minimize the Tea Party/Revolution movement comes down to... 911.
I'm cool with that... let's push THAT envelope.
I think they just screwed up AGAIN in reading the mood of the country.
We can capitalize on this.
They may have just shown a tiny crack in thier defences... let's kick em in the kidney.

~Live life to its fullest... with open arms, an open heart and most importantly, an open mind.~
Well, I just spent an hour+ laying the most vile truth on some sheep on some San Antonio radio stations chat room.
Joe Pags...whoever the hell that is was ripping Medina apart. Well I had listened to the 570AM show right before that were the callers were really supportive and Medina called in and clarified her remarks so I thought well the people are taking it well it seems. So I went to the next station and it was night and day. No callers were for her, they were all saying they wouldn't vote for her and all that. I saw they had Dennis Miller coming up next so I realized what kind of station it was...cough...neocon...
Anyway I stuck to one theme because it is directly related to the idea of "questioning" 9/11 which is Medina's supposed "fault".
Why have 6 out of the 10 original commissioners decried the official story and investigation.
I gave them quote after quote after quote and conducted myself in a nice way (it was tough). I repeatedly asked the host to look it for himself and to comment on it and he responded by telling me to "look up your ass".
Cute :0
But I continued on, they wanted to know my opinions, I told them opinions don't matter facts do. This is a concept few of them understood.
But if it's any gauge of the listenership only a max of 80 people were in the room, it was a link off the DP I followed and only maybe 20 people were participating, with roughly 15-20% not neocons.
So, I think this might be kinda like MSNBC where they say really vile stuff....but who's listening?
Edit: There are SOOOOO many sheep that just want to believe "The official Word" on 9-11, I sometimes don't know if there's any hope.
But, then again, there are a bunch a people who do not agree with the 9/11 commission and want more truth. So, I hope these people are rallied by Glen Beck's obstruction to that right.
I think they are hesitant because deep down they realize how momentous such a revelation would be. It would literally change everything for our country. The last ten years would be seen as a heinous deception that resulted in millions of meaningless deaths including tens of thousands of American troops. If the truth of 9/11 came out, it could destroy the entire fabric of the NWO regime.
And the biggest obstruction to their seeing the truth.
They just CANNOT believe that their government did this.
I'm, sorry, but they hold their elected officials as some more educated source, rather than themselves.
It reminds me of my father, when my mother was sick. He acted like doctor's were some kind of god, that knew so much more than the rest of us. It made me sick. Well you see where that belief led BOTH of them. Both gone now.
one thing im searching right now is the glenn and medina interview.... I listened to it on youtube and don't understand why everyone is upset at glenn, why he brought up the 9/11 attacks, and why he laughed at the end of the interview apparently at the fact that medina was not able to give an absolute yes or no.... Personally from what i listened to I like what she had to say about our RIGHTS (which come from god) such as the right to private property, and gun ownership....thats all good. So why is glenn being.... a jerk
This thread is an excellent place to start. Especially check out some of the links that stick has presented as it lays some of the groundwork for why many people are very much against Glenn Beck. There has been a lot of discussion on this very topic here.
I can understand why people are a little leary about Beck, Alot of people seem to think Beck doesnt practice what he preaches so to say... Can you trust the guy, personally, i wouldn't on some things, however, Beck has helped me a little. The fear of being misled though is going to surround me for awhile until I can understand a little better who is who, and what is what. Im reading, studying, doing alot. Right now everything is like a huge friggin puzzle. So many opinions and views and political terms...
You will not learn anything by listening to any talking head.
You will only learn by doing your own research. Look at everything, read everything, don't jsut read what you think you should read.
Read everything, even things that you don't think have any relation to anything you are looking for. Become a fountain of knowledge, useful and trivial. Only then will you have the discernment needed to break the matrix.
We aren't talking a week, 2 weeks, a month or even a year.
It's something you have to commit to now, and stay up late doing until you feel like you get it....and then you have to realize you are probably wrong and start all over again.
It's tough to wake up, it's even tougher to actually figure out what's going on. Every time you make a breakthough, chalk it up...but realize that it just means you have even more roads to travel.
I watched a video on infowars.com. I must say it was quite interesting what they had to say about beck more or less being part of the act... I still think he makes some good points, but nevertheless I believe I should be a little more aware on what he talks about when he's discussing obama's plans and what his intensions are, and most importantly what side beck takes.
I know what you mean. It can be overwhelming at times, and even now, having come through a lot of that, there are still a lot of pieces that are not as clear as I would like them. Keep your focus on seeking the truth in all things even when you may not like it.
Truth is treason in an empire of lies... ill find the absolute truth... In time. Im looking for it so I know in time I'll find it. I appreciate evryone helping me and understanding :)
Would this not itself be an absolute truth and therefore contradict itself?
There are definitely absolute truths out there. Without them, we would have nothing to use to combat the enemy. After all, if truth is relative to the observer, then how can we possibly make any judgment against the NWO or the central bankers? Are they not simply living according to the truth they believe?
It is because of the absolutes of truth and justice that we are even here exposing their plans.
It has never been about the "5th grade math" I talk about.
It has always been that people do not want to accept a truth, because doing so means that they would have to do something about it.
In a minicosm way, we just saw this with Cougar on the Beck issue.
You deny, you transfer your hatred of what has been done to you to the messenger, you capitulate, make amends and then fight the monster. It is not an easy process.. the bigger the con, the harder to overcome. 911 was a huge con.
I have to do some things for a bit... dig up old accounts I have seeded and stir up some crap.
I'll check in as I go...

~Live life to its fullest... with open arms, an open heart and most importantly, an open mind.~
Very true. But at least then people would be awake and no longer supporting a lie. And they may not have as much control over this world as they think they do.
To be honest I usually am.
I may be young, but I "get" things.
That aside, I'm glad you now get it.
Although this changes nothing, I still have some very deep issues with some of you right now.
I can't apologize for being so direct with you because that is how I am, but you can thank Donna for getting me to bite my tongue and not tell you what I really wanted to say. She told me to be gentle with you and that you would see it for yourself when the time was right.
He seemed to be educating people to their constitution, but; to seem to limit people's thought is unconstitutional.
I never listen to his radio broadcasts, where most of these things emerge. But, it's all over the web now. I wonder how his ratings will suffer because of this.
Thanks for your support in the continued awakening; like me. I guess.
I listened to the whole 40 minutes or so afterwards. It was 40 minutes of just that, interwoven with him and his sidekicks saying that anyone that thought this should not pay taxes.
Which I thought a tad odd... if he is so comfy with the current administation, what is he doing paying taxes?
I'm also upset that he pointed out many many times "If you think that our government could just kill 3000 people" when in reality they have killed WAY more than that and he still cheerleads the effort.
But hey.. that's just me.

~Live life to its fullest... with open arms, an open heart and most importantly, an open mind.~
Is this going to be GB's defining pin-down question, about 9/11? Since he got on that Van Jones thing for months and got no action until he brought up Jone's link to 9/11 Truth, he thinks that is the way to take someone down easy I guess. This interview was a disappointment to me. I can't for the life of me figure out why he would have even acted like he did afterward...did Debra really say anything bizarre? No.
*Don't mind me: I'm just reloading the Illudium Q36 Space Modulator*
Don't hate the Becks of life, but for God's sake understand what they are. They are certainly not on ~your~ side. Beck in particular is the polar opposite of Liberty. All he wants is to tap into the grassroots to fight the evil that is the ~progressives~.
Just remember that he isn't in your camp... he is just the other group that wants you enslaved.
-
~Live life to its fullest... with open arms, an open heart and most importantly, an open mind.~
I know this however I do side with Cougar in that Beck is cracking open some untouchable things and opening some eyes. It is my hope that people won't cling to him as they did Barry but will get slices of truth that lead them to investigate for themselves.
I've heard Beck bring out some things I thought I'd never hear coming out of the TV set, so I wonder what he's up to just giving a little bit of this and that. I know it's leading folks down the primrose path but what is he leading up to?
He's a good provider. He's humorous, he's funny. An excellent lover, attentive. Witty, intelligent... good with the kids. an amazing person to just hang out with... a good listener.
Sometimes though, he'll beat you to within an inch of your life.
Other than that, the guy is great!
See where this is going?
So why do we even bother dealing with him... because his good points make up for the fact that he's using you for his own ends?
-
~Live life to its fullest... with open arms, an open heart and most importantly, an open mind.~
I got angry because I absolutely expect people that have made their way here to understand how this whole schtick works.
I don't expect anyone or everyone to share my same views but I absolutely expect them to understand how things work and not to defend those who use someone as means to advance an agenda that is 180 degrees opposite from what they profess to believe in.
For good or ill, it appears that a major backlash has started against Glenn Beck:
Beck loses 103 sponsors as his UK television broadcast runs for five days straight without any ads.
I'm still pondering whether or not this is good news. While I have major issues with Glenn Beck, I cannot help but wonder if the reasons for pulling advertiser support are less than honorable. Could it be that they didn't like the truth that Glenn Beck did present?
Well, either way, it shows the importance to cling to the truth and nothing but the truth.

Great job stick! I wish I was there to see what y'all wrote. That would be my idea of Sat. night entertainment LOL

This is the awesome level of maturity of the people who control public opinion.
Good for you.
I know how hard it is to talk when you know "People" are listening.
You are now stronger that you were.

Sorry this just hit me when I reread your post.

you will never find the absolute truth.
Your goal is to find the most probable set of facts based on every piece of evidence you can find.
Truth is skewed by belief.
Truth is relative to the observer.
Absolute Truth
Would this not itself be an absolute truth and therefore contradict itself?
There are definitely absolute truths out there. Without them, we would have nothing to use to combat the enemy.

Or give them the REVOLUTION they need to take total control.
You are wrong on the math.
1 million to probably 30-40 million, with the rest in the balance.
The other issue is the slaves.. the jailed, the poverty-stricken, the hungry, the desperate.
It will be a free-for all.
We The People would win.
If the odds were not for us, you and I would not be talking, because we would be in separate FEMA camps or lead-dead.
All they have is the threat of violence. They cannot do actual violence without a damn good reason, IF the government was currently trusted.
It is not.
~Live life to its fullest... with open arms, an open heart and most importantly, an open mind.~

Very true. But at least then people would be awake and no longer supporting a lie. And they may not have as much control over this world as they think they do.

I think you are right look at the comments on this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daNr_TrBw6E
Hmmmm.
Stick
It seems I owe you an apology.
The radio interview by Beck today has diminished any respect I had for him.
I was wrong, you were right, along with many others here.
Mea culpa.
LIVE and let live.
To be honest I usually am.
I may be young, but I "get" things.
That aside, I'm glad you now get it.
Although this changes nothing, I still have some very deep issues with some of you right now.

I'm sorry you feel that way
But I hope you accept my apology,
When I'm wrong, I admit it.
I do not pin my beliefs to any person.
LIVE and let live.
This changes nothing because it has nothing to do with the source of my anger.
This was just an extension.
You don't need to apologize.
Did you think I was doing it for my own benefit?
Don't feel bad Cougar
I wouldn't say I was thrilled with Beck anyway after he turned on Dr. Paul but I was moderately grateful that he had awoken many.
Well That's How I Felt
He seemed to be educating people to their constitution, but; to seem to limit people's thought is unconstitutional.
I never listen to his radio broadcasts, where most of these things emerge. But, it's all over the web now. I wonder how his ratings will suffer because of this.
Thanks for your support in the continued awakening; like me. I guess.
LIVE and let live.
Wow what a great and fantastic interview Beck had with Medina today.
What a real eye-opener.
I especially enjoyed the part after they painted her as a kook where Beck said he wanted to French kiss Rick Perry.
A+ interview from a man who is clearly not a neocon gatekeeper.
edit- video
He makes me nauseous...
Me too. More so all of the time.
WOW I didn't realize it got even better after the interview because I turned it off.
Yes I listened as well
That was sickening. I'm fairly well seething at this point.
I listened to the whole 40 minutes or so afterwards. It was 40 minutes of just that, interwoven with him and his sidekicks saying that anyone that thought this should not pay taxes.
Which I thought a tad odd... if he is so comfy with the current administation, what is he doing paying taxes?
I'm also upset that he pointed out many many times "If you think that our government could just kill 3000 people" when in reality they have killed WAY more than that and he still cheerleads the effort.
But hey.. that's just me.
~Live life to its fullest... with open arms, an open heart and most importantly, an open mind.~
I thought the same thing...way way more. What a goober Beck is.
Wow
Is this going to be GB's defining pin-down question, about 9/11? Since he got on that Van Jones thing for months and got no action until he brought up Jone's link to 9/11 Truth, he thinks that is the way to take someone down easy I guess.

*Don't mind me: I'm just reloading the Illudium Q36 Space Modulator*
It's really easy...
Beck is a NeoCon gatekeeper.
Medina is one of us.
So he took her out.
Don't hate the Becks of life, but for God's sake understand what they are. They are certainly not on ~your~ side. Beck in particular is the polar opposite of Liberty. All he wants is to tap into the grassroots to fight the evil that is the ~progressives~.
Just remember that he isn't in your camp... he is just the other group that wants you enslaved.
~Live life to its fullest... with open arms, an open heart and most importantly, an open mind.~
Well
I know this however I do side with Cougar in that Beck is cracking open some untouchable things and opening some eyes. It is my hope that people won't cling to him as they did Barry but will get slices of truth that lead them to investigate for themselves.
I've heard Beck bring out some things I thought I'd never hear coming out of the TV set, so I wonder what he's up to just giving a little bit of this and that. I know it's leading folks down the primrose path but what is he leading up to?
An analogy...
He's a good provider. He's humorous, he's funny. An excellent lover, attentive. Witty, intelligent... good with the kids. an amazing person to just hang out with... a good listener.
Sometimes though, he'll beat you to within an inch of your life.
Other than that, the guy is great!
See where this is going?
So why do we even bother dealing with him... because his good points make up for the fact that he's using you for his own ends?
~Live life to its fullest... with open arms, an open heart and most importantly, an open mind.~
That is a great analogy, and it really puts it into perspective. There are far better sources to turn people to than Glenn Beck.
mmmhmmmm that's been my whole point.
I got angry because I absolutely expect people that have made their way here to understand how this whole schtick works.
I don't expect anyone or everyone to share my same views but I absolutely expect them to understand how things work and not to defend those who use someone as means to advance an agenda that is 180 degrees opposite from what they profess to believe in.
Mental gymnastics don't fly well with me.
