drtdrums Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 There's only one problem with those companies pulling their ads from Beck's show... He has 3 times the viewership in that timeslot of the next closest channel. Over 3 times, actually. I can't imagine that he's going to be hurt by this in the long run. Maybe I'm wrong, but his time slot is advertising gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison Redskin Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 It's also funny how blacks can go running around calling each other "n-word" this and "n-word" that and calling white people crackers....but a white person dies when it's said. It's also sad how many people think only a black man can say the word racist but the minute a white person does........it's just ludicrous, stupid, and lets just burn him to the stake. And bringing up Kayne West? The guy's IQ is lower than 50 and shouldn't even have an opinion. He is politically retarded, knows absolutely nothing about politics, but figured since eveyone else was against Mr. Bush it was the right thing to call him a racist. Did I miss something? I didn't realize this thread is about whether white people should have the right to say n*****. And how the hell did Kayne come up? I suppose this is just another white guys gone wild rant about all things related to race? In any case, no one should say n******, but a white man saying n***** should be treated differently than a black man who says n******. It's akin to the difference between me calling your mom a whore and you calling your mom a whore. Neither one of us should say it, but it's far worse for me to say it than for you to say it.

I mean I agree that both are absolutely horrible, but I could never imagine calling my Mom such a thing. It would be such a low, ugly moment for me. I thihk if I saw a son call his Mom a whore unless she was wearing a g-string and coming out of some strangers backseat I would more appalled than if some idiot called his Mom a whore. You are correct that I would not deal very well with someone calling my saint of a Mom names though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I didn't miss was Beck's prediction prior to Obama's presidency that if you disagree with Obama on any issue the race card will be thrown out. Kanye is a stupid sniveling Diva who is dating a Grace Jones wannabee with a much lighter complexion, not that there is anything wrong with that but did use his fame to unfairly bash Bush as did other liberals with outright lies about President Bush hating Blacks when there was plenty of evidence that showed that to not be true. Pushing policy and or rhetoric to promote a minority group at the expense of other groups is racist, hating on the more successful and using policy and propoganda to punish them is class warfare. And Obama's speech with Black leaders could be seen to be that way. I treat Blacks and Whites who use the N word and B word the same: with contempt and view them as not worthy to be acknowledged by me since I'd be embracing the ignorant and those who flunked home training 101.

Well, Dave NoVa isn't populated with Real Americans, however out here in the rural United States where we grow the nation's food with the Real Americans Wal-Mart is the be all and end all...or are you really trying to suggest that there is going to be a grassroots movement of Conservatives throughout this country who boycott Wal-Mart because they pulled their ads from that lunatic Glenn Beck? If you are I'll take that bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAFGA Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I've said it before... Beck stands out from even amongst the mainstream conservative radio media. His arguments are less thought out, his fact are more often wrong, and he's obviously mentally disturbed. Where is he on the nutso scale in relation to Michael Savage?

Predicto Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Where is he on the nutso scale in relation to Michael Savage? I think he is less hateful than Savage, but even more emotionally unhinged. The thing is, not even Fox would give Savage a prime time television slot. Beck and Hannity are bad enough - Savage doesn't even try to hide his reptilian character.

Says the guy who a few posts up refered to hispanics as "people who don't habla inglez" in a group that included sexual deviants and food stamp users. All of which I find funny being English is my second language and I clearly have a stronger grasp of it than you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aREDSKIN Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Well, this is how freedom of speech is supposed to work. Anyone can say anything, however, if what you say is uninteresting, offensive, or wrong people certainly have the right to walk away and stop listening. Agree 100%. My only beef is that Olberpuke is 10 as worst as Beck ( I know give him time) and no one pulls the ads off that flamethrower's diatribe show. and I do understand that the audience and audience levels are different. The companies may want to rethink their public support of this boycott it will certainly hurt their pocketbooks IMO. To each their own I guess.

twa Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 This is mildly interesting seems Hupo is a bit off on facts as usual http://defendglenn.com/color-of-lies-best-buy-denies-boycott-of-glenn-beck.html from: Hawks, Lisa <Lisa.Hawks@bestbuy.com> to: info@defendglenn.com date: Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 3:05 PM subject: Best Buy Good afternoon- I noticed on your web site that you have incorrect information about Best Buy and advertising related to the Glenn Beck show. Like some other retailers, we have never been sponsors of the show. We have not advertised in or around the show. We do advertise on FOX, but only during an early morning timeframe. We have not changed our advertising strategy on FOX. It would be helpful if you could relay this information to your viewers so they are aware. I am in the office this afternoon if there is someone that would like to connect directly.

Burgold Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Twa is correct. One is enough to make the entire premise shaky. It's irresponsible reporting esp. for something so easily fact checked. I get down on FOX when they mis-report as they so grossly did with the EATR story (although, it generated a good story and a paycheck for me so to FOX) and I think that Huff needs to do better. Again, this is a really easy story to write and be right about. But in this game if you're wrong about one key fact, you lose all your credibility.

Beck loses how many companies? How many? Glenn Beck still on the air. Wait, he has a following? http://www.foxnews.com/glennbeck/index.html See for yourself.
