Geico no longer advertises on Glen Beck show

Turns out they don't like his hate mongering.

What hatemongering?

He's possibly paranoid but hardly a hatemonger.

Race-Baiting Group Hitting TV's Glenn Beck Was Founded By Obama's Communist Green Jobs Czar

President Obama's controversial green jobs czar --a self-described “rowdy black nationalist” and "communist"-- is a co-founder of the same unsavory left-wing pressure group that is urging an advertiser boycott of Glenn Beck's TV show after Beck did several unflattering news packages on the czar. Not surprisingly, Big Media haven't noticed the connection.

The czar in question is Van Jones, a founding board member of Color of Change, an extremist racial grievance group that tries to stir up racial antagonism in order to promote a socialist agenda.

Good:

"George Bush Hates Black People" Kanye West


Bad:

"Barack 0bama Hates White People" Glenn Beck

Edit: Glenn Beck is a pimple on the ass of humanity.

Perhaps I give him too much credit.

Do we need to redefine hatemongers?

You don't have to hate the mentally challenged to recognize them for what they are....

Beck loses more advertisers

NEW YORK (Nielsen Business Media) - Some of the nation's biggest advertisers are distancing themselves from Fox News host Glenn Beck after he called President Obama a racist during a July 28 broadcast.

Geico has pulled its ads from Fox News Channel's "The Glenn Beck Program." Lawyers.com, which is owned by LexisNexis, also has vowed not to advertise during the program, according to Color of Change, an African-American online political organization that has been urging advertisers to stop supporting the show.

Additionally, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and SC Johnson all said their ad placements during the broadcast were made in error and that they would correct the mistake.

But they're still seen on Fox News.

Yeah, it's just Beck that's losing his advertisers.

Beck tries to make a connection between the green movement, healthcare, and yes...reparations.

Fantastic comedy.

[randomJACKASS]

Wow, what a blowhard idiot!

OK, Cerise, now tell us why you believe him 100% and why he is right?!?

 

[catocom]

I understand what beck was getting at, and I don't know, it could be,
but he didn't do to good making the connection on that one.

I do think Jones is busy in the lobby.

 

[Cerise]

Here is the transcript of that clip, as well as the show.


These statements tie the green movement, healthcare, and another word for reparations, "social justice" -- all together. What's not to love about Beck??

Well, I think the important thing to realize here is the connection between the green movement and health care might have something to do with the fact that the green movement isn't so much about green movement. It may be a bigger notion of social concern.

Barack Obama said that he is against reparations because they don't go far enough. Universal education and universal health care is the way to help the underprivileged. The green movement is about — Van Jones, at least — is about social justice and spreading the wealth, communism.

So maybe the green movement is that front you're talking about, and maybe that's just his way of spreading the wealth and moving all that money into social justice through healthcare.

....the principal rationale argument for this universal health care initiative is to provide, you know, coverage to a broad array of people, people who aren't currently covered.

But as I was saying before, any kind of system where the government is picking winners and losers, there are going to be real serious risks of grave discrimination and injustice.

And I think that's an ironic feature of this whole discussion, you know, that the rational is to cover everyone but the mechanism to do that is ultimately going to discriminate against certain groups of people.

But I think there is a moral difference between the government picking winners and losers, and winners and losers emerging from a process of aggregated individual choices that people are making.

And certainly, there are people that are not able to make choices because they suffer from serious inequalities. But the solution, I think — and I'm no policy expert, John is — is to try to raise those people up so that they can make choices rather than scrap the entire system of choices in favor of a government in position.
