Hot Air: GMAC Can't Boycott Glenn Beck -- They Got Bailout Money!
From the aptly named Doctor Zero at Hot Air:
Radio and television host Glenn Beck finds himself confronting an advertiser boycott, organized by people who don’t watch his show anyway. The primary effect of the boycott will be denying advertisers like Best Buy, CVS, and Travelocity access to Beck’s immense and rapidly growing audience. (By the way, one of the participating advertisers is GMAC. Don’t we taxpayers own five or six billion dollars worth of GMAC? Something tells me the boycott supporters include a far larger percentage of people who don’t pay any federal income tax than Beck’s audience does. GMAC should require permission from actual taxpayers before it’s allowed to engage in a silly boycott that could damage its profitability, and devalue our five billion dollar investment.)
Oh, but Doctor Zero isn't finished frothing. Obama is just as bad as people who attended KKK rallies because he attended Jeremiah Wright's church:
Perhaps we could defuse the tension by asking the boycott organizers if they think someone who sat quietly at Klan rallies for twenty years could credibly be accused of racism. I’m sure they would say “no”… and since that’s an accurate analogy for Obama’s decades at Jeremiah Wright’s Church of Racial Hatred, Beck would doubtless be moved to offer a polite apology, and we could call the boycott off...
Oh yeah, and one more thing -- Obama has never said or written anything nice about white people, and the good Doctor challenges you to find where he has:
The rest of Beck’s comment, asserting that Obama has “deep-seated hatred for white people of the white culture,” should be easy for the President’s defenders to disprove. All they have to do is cite one positive thing Obama has said or written about white culture. Anywhere. Ever. Hopefully they can get back to us before GMAC needs another taxpayer bailout, to address the self-inflicted financial damage from its participation in the boycott. I wouldn’t recommend wasting any time going through Obama’s university compositions, assuming you can find where they’re buried, and get past the three-headed guard dog... Read on...
Get it? The boycott is nonsense because President Obama really IS a racist and Glenn Beck is just speaking the truth!
It is called "Hot Air" for a reason. Given the foul stench, it is easy to guess which end it came from.
What a strange strange person.
Stranger still...

It's a hold-over from Victorian era Social Darwinism and Christian apologetics.
They tried to argue that both Genesis and Darwin were right, but that white races were created by God, and the others through evolution, so they were little more than animals, who through noblesse oblige became the White Man Burden to "civilize."
Never mind that much of Germany wasn't fully Christianized until about the 11th century, so were among the last. England seemed to have Christianity and Pagan practices concurrently until about the 12th century.

More reason for the rest of his advertisers to boycott his racist show.
I wish when people (Logan Murphy in this case) post on this site and they end a post with "read on" it is a continuation of the C/L article and NOT! the right wing site that the article is talking about. The very last thing I wanted to do was to give that sleazy, good for nothing, Fascist site another hit!
or "suspension"...?
keith reporting a 'trade publication' says it's the latter...
one thing for sure, he won't be gone long enough if he's back at all...
what the hell is "white culture"?
as far as i can tell, it consists of mcdonald's, all things wallmart, and people wearing brand name logo t-shirts as if they impart some sort of social status. where's the culture?
White culture? Does this person even know what goes thrught the mind of black people when we hear someone say "white culture"?

I have a standing promise with myself to punch in the face Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glen Beck if I should ever meet them. Having said that, I have a problem with boycotting or demanding the firing of anyone just because I strongly disagree with them. Let them go ahead and spew their venow and ignorance, and let Americans decide for themselves. We should not be intimidated by assholes who try to instill fear and hate. We're not Republicans, remember?
Seriously, I don't know if it is the f*cking boyish face, or his ears, or his shit eating grin... but I am right there with you, if I ever was to cross Beck's path, I don't know if I could contain the urge to lob a nice right hook. I am sure it would be almost instinctive... and I am as mellow as they come.
Yeah, but where's his birth certificate? Show me his birth certificate! And stop killing old people and babies and the middle class and the rich and old people. And rich old people who are big babies. Did I mention not killing old people? Well, stop killing them. NOW!
Thank goodness the Internet makes having a rational discussion possible. (Hands off the old people.)
quite telling that Beck even addressed the boycott. Must be working.
aren't "white people"?

not Obama and his supporters. we're fine. Beck asserted, and you're defending, that Obama has a 'deep seated hatred for white people and white culture'. Have him, and you, PROVE that. this all started with what Beck said. so HE should prove it. no one else has to do anything. it is outrageous and this boycott is perfectly appropriate. he has a constitutional right to free speech, but words still have consequences. losing advertiser dollars, idiot, is one of them. these companies can do what they want with their money, as that's a 'right' they have. it's a right they can assert at any time as they're doing now. even Wal Mart. Beck is a petulant little child, and he's the racist who has Obama Derangement Syndrome. oh, and you can shove it too.
Breakspear is right...CryBaby Beck is the one making the accusation, so the burden of proof is on HIM!
Conservatives are relentless on a sort of "debate judo" in which they switch the burden of proof ONTO YOU!!! Suspect the President is from Kenya? Prove he isn't! Ignore the COLB he posted online, we're going to huff and puff until he produces the LONG FORM (and then we'll claim it's a forgery, citing the delay as proof that it's fabricated).
Beck makes the OUTRAGEOUS claim that Obama hates white people. Where's HIS proof? Is he trying to get improved health care for BLACKS ONLY? Has he appointed a disproportionate number of blacks to his administration?
Don't let them trick you into a defensive position.
It's called Argumentum ad Ignoracio.
Now that I think of it, it's also called tu quoque, "So what if I can't prove my allegations when you can't disprove them."

So let me get this straight:

A pathetic cop out by a typical con who thinks that the burden of proof is on the accused.
All Beck has to do is cite one negative thing Obama has said or written about white culture. Anywhere. Ever.
BTW, perhaps Beck can define "white culture" for us while he's at it.

I just hope the precedent wasn't set for other rightwing blowhards who think they're so important that they've got to extend the program...

boycott of advertisers by people that don't watch his show, yeah, but buy their fucking products which in turn should give them money to continue their business which would include spending money on advertising on shows that espouse opinions that aren't divisive, hateful, racist, mendacious (I could go on here). These idiots boycott things all the time, but apparently that's fine because they are the ones doing the boycotting.
These asshats are so amusing, free speech is a good thing when it's not impacting them and is serving their purpose and corporate master.

Yes, and he read in the "Paris Business Review" (which he made up in his sick little mind) that it was working...
Hi.
I know that many people don't always like to admit it, but it is ao obvious that Beck is just speaking the truth. Instead of fighting "Democrats -vs- Republicans", why not just look at the facts? Even Beck points out things that are problems with "both" parties. He sure doesn't just pick on one :-)
Instead of just trying to prove "my party is always right" let's (instead) just try to find out what "is" really right.
That would involve humility from everyone and a true desire to know what is right, whether it steps on our toes or not.
But you're way off base here. When Beck called the Prez a Nazi, or a facist, or not a legitimate American citizen or a whole host of other things. He loses all credibility. He has a history of outlandish accusations. Hey, if his sponsors are dumping him , What does that tell you?

Hi.
Beck is NOT speaking the truth...unless you are one of the delusional and believe everything he says. Next time you have a hankerin' to defend Mr. Cry-Me-A-River-Of-Fake-Tears, do yourself a favour and study up on the subject before speaking; it'll keep you from appearing to be the idiot.

It's not like it's written the same way Beck talks.
Oh, wait, it's exactly like that.
Either Beck wrote this or we have to face the even worse possibility that there are people out there who want to be like him.

Is there an instance where this Hot Air guy has said anything positive about blacks or hispanics or Democrats or liberals? Give me a break. Can't believe he's willing to buy into the whole Beck fantasy.
"Something tells me the boycott supporters include a far larger percentage of people who don’t pay any federal income tax than Beck’s audience does."
Since it's the damn color folk supporting this boycott they don't work and pay taxes. They just collect The Welfare checks. How can these people be such open racist.

I don't get this whole they-don't-watch-his-show-anyway meme. It's unlikely that Beck's fans are going to organize a protest. It doesn't matter if they watch Beck's show. It matters if they buy the advertisers products.
Glenn Blecch wouldn't know the truth even if it bit him on his fat, pasty ass.
How could anyone believe this big, fat, lying sack of dog mess?
