Beck Watch: Boycott Decimates Advertisers and Freedom of Speech – Time Magazine Noticed Him Anyway~

Glenn on Time Magazine's Cover
Time Article- Mad Man: Is Glenn Beck Bad for America?

You know what they say… “I don’t care what you say about me… Just spell my name right! Indeed, if Time Magazine put Glenn Beck on their cover he is doing something right and people are noticing him… so more people will hear what he has to say.

But Stand-Up for Glenn and Free Speech Anyway~

Five hundred and sixty thousand dollars. That's what radical ColorofChange estimates Glenn Beck has cost Fox News since the beginning of the Beck boycott last month. 62 national advertisers appear to have dropped the show since August.

Here's the list of who's still hangin' in there

Lear Capital

Liberty Medical

ExtenZe

News Corp. (The Wall Street Journal)

Rosland Capital

LifeLock

Conservatives for Patient's Rights

Clarity Media Group (The Weekly Standard)

Roche Diagnostics (Accu-Chek Aviva)

Citrix (GoToMeeting)

Merit Financial

Goldline International, Inc

Carbonite

National Review

We must write letters of support to these companies that are supporting Glenn Beck and continue to write and pressure the companies who have dropped advertising on Glenn’s show. We must also write Fox and thank them for standing up for the Freedoms of Speech and of the Press.

And for anyone who thinks this is a victory, they really don't understand freedom of speech or the fact that if they can do this to someone you don't like today... they will do it to someone you do like (or to you) tomorrow...

We all need to remember this little poem from WWII:

FIRST THEY CAME...

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not protest;
I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
I did not protest;
I was a Protestant.

Then they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

I always remind people of the Supreme Court decision in favor of Larry Flynt of Hustler Magazine... when people were infuriated. The Supreme Court did not agree with Larry... they upheld the constitution and all our rights of speech. Sadly, liberals only like freedom of speech when it applies to themselves or people they agree with. You see that in the fact that the ACLU never stands up for conservatives... or only half heartedly when they are called on it.

Tea Partiers, Town Hallers, 9/12ers, Conservatives, Moderate Democrats, Libertarians, Republicans, Beck Viewers & Listeners and Believers in the First Amendment, we must stand up and fight for Glenn and against this radical anti-American Group!!!
