OK, I am lukewarm about the Target boycott. I have spoken about this before and won’t go into it again here, but this is a boycott that can really have a sweeping effect. I am talking about Glenn Beck.
This demagogue is spewing hate, not even candy-coated hate, just plain vile raw hatred. He does wrap it in he alleged message of “restoring honor” but everyone knows his meaning: Get America back into the hands of white conservative Christians.
So, what to do? Read this and then click the link and get involved.
Glenn Beck doesn’t just poison the airwaves with hatred. His hatred actually incites violence and murder.
• On 7/18/10, Beck inspired a gunman to attack the little-known Tides Foundation, after demonizing them for 18 months. The gunman got into a massive shootout with police and wounded two of them.
• On 4/4/09, Richard Poplawski murdered 3 Pittsburgh policemen after posting Beck videos on a neo-Nazi website.
• On 4/9/09, Beck poured “gasoline” on an “average American” and asked, “President Obama, why don’t you just set us on fire?”
• On 8/16/09, Glenn Beck dramatized giving Speaker Pelosi a glass of wine with poison.

Our boycott of Fox News advertisers is having a huge impact — over 200 advertisers have pulled their ads from Beck’s show. No sane company wants to destroy its brand through association with Glenn Beck’s hate.

I don’t know how I could ignore him more.
Can you give any examples of his “Hatred” specific examples??
Hardy, You’re an Idiot.
Do groups like this always lie when the when the truth is not on their side? Becks tells the truth and that is something that liberals can’t do not know anything about.
Bet all of you listen to MsNBC since they are Obama’s talking points. Since liberals took control of the government in 2006, nothing good has come of it. Many Americans have lost their jobs, but that is of no concern to liberals. Give out more handouts and the idiots and weak will still elect them. If that fails, use the race card and tell more lies. None of that is going to work this time. Dems and socialism are doomed.
Do people actually trust anything from sites like these? These are groups spouting their fairy tales and demanding tolerance. Coming from the most intolerant people in the nation, does not lend much weight. Anyone who supports groups like this should have their heads examined and companies should be shut down.
So much for the idea that libs are open minded people who love free speech!
I like your argument, Jimmy. Dallas Voice should be shut down because you do not agree with what you read here. Even though you want to shut us down, we’re the communists. Or is it fascists?
funny how the exact same spew – literally word-for-word – is being used across the Internet – this is a moveon.org tactic and mirrors National Socialism tactics used 80 years ago!
Fudd, duh, there are limits to free speech. And you give yourself away using the “word” “libs”. Get back in your hole.
Hardy, you are intelligent and insightful. Great observations. I hope you write more articles like this one.
I can’t wait to go see Glenn Beck December 2. I follow no man but it’s good to be in the company of those who understand what is really going on in the once great but now fading Republic.
Americans need to wake up the fact that Beck is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology and he mixes this with his personal make up as a dry alcoholic. And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian. As someone with a graduate degree in religion, I can say with all qualifications that Mormonism fits all parameters of a cult and has none of the parameters of a religion. A cult is any group (regardless of its size) that interprets the doctrines of a religion in an unorthodox fashion. The problem here is the fact the most Christians do not understand the difference and they easily fall for the lies of Mormon missionaries when they come to one’s door. On Beck’s radio show and Fox Network program he consistent demonstrates all the unstable behaviors of a dry alcoholic which include grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, impulsivity, ADD and indecisiveness. Alongside that reality, Glenn Beck does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, has no college degree, has no qualifications and he is definitely not a true conservative. But then, what can anyone expect from someone who can’t find anything filthier than their own personal reflection. Since people like Beck cannot survive on the basis of any personal merits, they survive by putting others down with lies and half truths in order to feel good about themselves. The truth about Beck is that he a dry mormon alcoholic who never got the counseling required for alcoholics. To further complicate things and confuse people, Beck flippantly throws around Christian terms like “God”, “Jesus”,”Holy Spirit” as well as voices of other so called “Spirit Powers” on his radio talk show. Beck is a mormon in active standing with the mormon church and is not a Christian. Mormonism teaches many gods, that the god of the earth was once a man who attained godhood status, there is no trinity, the cross of Christ means nothing and that Jesus Christ and Satan were brothers. Because Beck does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, he is the perfect abortion poster child for Fox Network. The people who love what Beck says are no different than the impressionable sheep who loved every speech made by Adolph Hitler in his early years when he brought Germany into an era of economic prosperity These same sheep also blindly followed Hitler into one of the darkest chapters of world history. Beck and the Fox Network both cater to the same lowest common denominator of demagoguery. Beck would not know the first thing about God as he is a mormon. Someone should ask him which of the many mormon gods he kept talking about during his argument with himself on Saturday on the square in DC. Like a typical dry alcoholic, Beck even lied on national television when he spoke about holding a document signed by George Washington. That event never took Place. Unfortunately, people who love being led around by the nose do not realize that Beck is talking about a different god than that of Christianity, Judaism or Islam and that he has been a product of mormonism cultism from the day he started doing a radio talk show as an opinion pusher. You don’t have to have a degree in psychology to see that he exhibits all the signs of a dry alcoholic. The only reason this unstable impressionable idiot fell into mormonism was because the woman he wanted to have sex with would not do so unless they got first got married and from that point, they joined the mormon cult. Glenn Beck is as big a charlatan as Joseph Smith or that 5th grade graduate (Charles T Russell) who started the Jehovah’s Witness cult. This is Glenn Beck in a very accurate and concise nutshell. Considering the fact that Becks personal views are extreme Marxist Libertarian, his form of patriotism is false and he is a person who has no real substance or depth. It will not surprise many of us when Beck’s next big thing is to come out of the closet and announce his homosexuality to the nation. Simply put…he is just another predatory neocon who is pushing the buttons of very ignorant & impressionable people who love being told what to think and believe. We live in a period of history where it has become very socially acceptable to be stupid and follow extremist idiots like Glenn Beck, Adolph Hitler, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh. Chicanery and lies are their middle names.
I can’t wait for Glenn coming to Dallas Dec. 4. It’s so sad more gays can’t get past the liberal extremist bashing penetrated on this honorable man. I can only assume they never watch any of his shows or listen to him on radio. If they had, they would realize he is really exposing the corruption of government both left and right. I was a loyal fan of his when he held Joy Behar’s spot on tv. In a less than a year on FOX he has become the voice of the nation and the start of the Tea Party. And as a proud Christian who happens to be gay, I for one welcome Glenn’s restoring this country back to Christian values. As does Glenn’s friend, Martin Luther King’s niece Alveda King. The gay community needs to start realizing there are more conservative gays than our media gives credit to. And when Mr. Beck actually does or says something so horrible as the name calling and marxist agenda we continually hear from the far left, I will be the first to call him on it. I might also add on here that the Voice could of done a better job in reporting more coverage on the recent big win on gay rights headed up by the Log Cabin Republicans. And as a proud uncle of a gay niece in the Air Force, I’m appauled at this administration’s lie to us on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
