merrie says: Beck has over three million viewers, most passionately loyal. On top of that, ColorOfChange draws membership from a demographic that is on average less affluent than Beck’s largely middle class viewership. So advertisers who withdraw are shooting themselves in the foot. And cost them it has. In the first three days of the DefendGlenn movement: 9,000 GEICO accounts gone 297 Ally Bank accounts closed 7,200 boycotting CVS 14,700 boycotting Sargento 10,000 Travelocity accounts cancelled And now it appears that claims made by ColorOfChange about the success of their effort to silence Glenn Beck were somewhat exaggerated (I’m being kind here). Several of the companies they claimed to have influenced did not advertise on the Beck program in the first place. It appears that the mainstream media just accepted the list of companies in the ColorOfChange press release and reported them without checking. Bond Action Inc., a black organization focused on supporting the family, traditional moral values, and positive and honest race relations has come out in support of Beck — Black Group Comes Out In Support Of Glenn Beck: BOND Action, Inc., a national cultural action organization, has come out in support of FOX News Channel broadcaster Glenn Beck. Beck has been under attack from the radical left-wing group ColorOfChange.org after he said last month that he believes President Obama is “a racist.” ColorOfChange.org was founded by Van Jones; a self-described “rowdy black nationalist.” Jones now serves as White House environmental advisor (czar).

ColorOfChange.org has a checkered past. The group reportedly endorsed outrageous statements by rapper Kanye West that former President Bush gave troops permission to go to New Orleans and shoot black people during Hurricane Katrina. Beck’s television program draws more than 2 million viewers and BOND Action, Inc., is calling on advertisers not to cave in to pressure. Rev. Peterson said, “ColorOfChange.org claims that it exists to ’strengthen Black America’s political voice’ — but it’s clear that they are a left-wing, racist political group that deal in lies.... AWESOME Clip. Merrie. I just hope enough people read it. This IS an attack on free speech. Glenn Beck rightly criticized Obama for jumping on the police. As POTUS, Obama should have known better than to publicly take sides in such an obviously racially charged situation. By doing so he exposed his own racial bias and this is what Beck picked up on, as did many, many other people, both conservatives and liberals. In my opinion Glenn Beck was right to label Obama a racist. ColorofChange.org, as left-wing, racist and radical as they are, has the right to mount any boycott it wants, but it has falsely accused Beck of ‘race baiting’.
