Glenn Beck Sponsorship

I have written the following letters to companies who have recently dropped their sponsorship of Glenn Beck.

While it is a personal decision to get involved to this level, I encourage each of you who read this post to copy my letters, edit to fit your needs or style, and sent them to the appropriate addresses. Also, please send a link to this page to any friend or family mamber who might feel that these businesses are making ill-advised decisions by dropping their sponsorship of Glenn Beck.

This is a battle of ideas, and good business practice is one of the ideas I believe in more than any other. To allow partisan politics to interfere with potential profit is not a prudent business decision. I believe over time these places of business will see the error of their ways, but any encouragement is helpful.


Radio Shack

To - RadioShack.Customer.Care@RadioShack.com

I am writing this letter to tell you that I am extremely disappointed in your recent decision to drop sponsorship of Glenn Beck on FNC.

Until I learn otherwise, I will no longer be a consumer of your products, and I will tell all my friends, family, and coworkers to please avoid your stores and products.

There are plenty of other electronics retailers available. While they might not offer quite the same service, they are not making business decision based on partisan politics, and therefore will have my business from this day forward.

Sincerely,

The next few, I felt, fit the same letter:

I am writing to inform you of my extreme disappointment, as I learned you have dropped your sponsorship of Glenn Beck on FNC.

I feel this decision is not made in the interest of good business, but rather in the interest of partisan politics.

Unless I learn that you have changes your decision, I will do all I can to avoid use of your products. I will ask my family, friends, and coworkers to do the same. I also will be posting this letter to my personal blog, and asking anyone who read it to consider their choices, and hope they will make an effort to avoid your products as well.

Thank you.

And finally, Geico - http://www.geico.com/about/contactus/email/

I am writing to inform you of my extreme disappointment, as I learned you have dropped your sponsorship of Glenn Beck on FNC.

I feel this decision is not made in the interest of good business, but rather in the interest of partisan politics.

I am currently a GEICO customer. However, when my policy expires, unless I learn you have changed your position regarding advertisements during Glenn Beck's program, I will be canceling my policy and securing automobile insurance with another provider.

Thank you very much.


Emailing companies and informing them you are not impressed by their politics interfering in their business decisions - so easy a caveman can do it.

Make Mine Freedom

This video appeared on Glenn Beck's website back in June. I find it absolutely amazing that we are still having exactly the same discussion today.




Thank God we're still having the discussion... Dr. Ism hasn't managed to sell us his wares just yet. I think we know in whose direction the bottles are being thrown...

Tainted Gov

I checked in on The 9/12 Project's website tonight for the first time in a while... and found this interesting parody of the old Soft Cell song from the 80's "Tainted Love." This one's called "Tainted Gov" and takes a good laugh at recent events. Enjoy...

Fixed News?

As reported by Fox News Channel, some Americans are claiming to have received unsolicited emails from The White House regarding health care reform. FOX News has obtained permission from some who have received these emails, and The White House on Friday said it would review some of the names of recipients to determine how they ended up on the distribution list.

This all seems to have started due to the belief of White House senior adviser David Axelrod that opponents of President Obama's health care reform are relying on tactics including "viral e-mails that fly unchecked and under the radar, spreading all sorts of lies.

"So let's start a chain of e-mail of our own," he said, inviting supporters to forward a message countering claims that Obama's plans would lead to rationing, encourage euthanasia or deplete veterans' health care.But some people who received the e-mails directly from the White House forwarded them to FOX News and asked how they ended up on the list when they've never been in communication with the Obama administration. Some wondered if visiting the White House Web site automatically places them on an e-mail distribution list.

Gibbs has been very evasive of Garrett's questions regarding these emails, and The White House has recently made statements about how "We all have something to lose... if we let cable television come to town hall meetings, and kill health care reform for another year and put the special interests back in charge."

So I'm sorry report to you tonight that Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and Anderson Cooper will no longer be allowed to broadcast reports from town hall meetings.

There is a well known bias in the media, and we are watching an extraordinary display of said bias on a daily basis as this "Health Care Reform" debate continues in the grocery stores and High School Gymnasiums across America. The debate is also taking place in the parking lots of said locations... well, that's where people against reform are now gathering as SEIU and ACORN "grassroots" people fill the arenas where our elected representatives, such as Sheila Jackson Lee take phone calls during Q&A sessions.

However, nothing displays today's media bias as well as this wonderful compare and contrast put together by Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters.


I guess it's only fashionable to negatively depict protesters when they don't agree with a President you helped get elected.

Watch the peaceful, loving liberals as they peacefully and lovingly speak freely about that horrible tyrant, George W. Bush. Oh... I can smell the patchouli mixing with the stench of 5 days without a shower now...

In this clip, it's particularly interesting to note how "The Corporate Media" made up a lie about how rioting started. And of course, the left would never compare an American President to Hitler or police to Fascists.

Debunking the Debunking

Today in an article written by The Associated Press, regarding the removal of the end-of-life provision in the Senate version of "Health Care Reform," the AP claimed it had debunked Sarah Palin's "death panel" claim.

From the article:

"In a widely quoted Facebook posting, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin charged that federal bureaucrats would play God, ruling on whether ailing seniors or children with Down syndrome — such as Palin's son Trig — are worthy of health care. Palin called the proposal "downright evil."

Many news organizations — including The Associated Press — debunked Palin's claim. The provision that caused the uproar would authorize Medicare to pay doctors for voluntary counseling about end-of-life care."

A bit later in the article, they described Palin's latest Facebook post:

"Palin did not respond to requests for comment. But in a Facebook posting late Wednesday night, Palin defended her original claim, which President Barack Obama and other Democrats have criticized.

"With all due respect, it's misleading for the president to describe this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients," she said, noting that the provision authorizes consultations whenever a Medicare recipient's health changes significantly or when they enter a nursing home.

Since the bill's intent is to reduce overall health care costs, it's logical to assume that care for seniors may be curtailed, Palin said.

"It's all just more evidence that the Democratic legislative proposals will lead to health care rationing, and more evidence that the top-down plans of government bureaucrats will never result in real health care reform," she wrote. "

So if I understand correctly, the AP debunked Palin's "death panel" claim, yet after said "debunking" Palin was somehow able to clearly state that the intent of "Health Care Reform" is to reduce costs, which may lead to rationing - and the AP was not able to provide evidence to the contrary.

Thank goodness we have the AP to trust for integrity in journalism.

MSNBC Lies on Behalf Of Obama

While this is not a "hit piece," it is frightening that a major and well respected news organization would allow such an untruth to be broadcast without immediate retraction. Feel free to watch the entire clip, but please take particular interest at 3:05 into the clip:

Here, however, is proof positive that Lawrence O'Donnell is flat out not telling the truth about President Obama's past statements regarding 'single payer' health insurance.





"Nobody is talking about some government takeover of health care."

Yeah, right. Please, President Obama, be honest with us. And please stop worrying about the "disinformation" that is true. You need to worry about real disinformation, coming from your apparent propaganda arm at NBC.
