Advertisers pulling out due to comments of Glenn Beck?! WTF?!?

Is this a Joke? Context is everything. Talk about misinformation. Apparently they choose not to listen or are just buckling under the whims of groups like colorofchange.org ?!

What say you?

Update:

I'm not saying that advertisers are not allowed to do as they please. I think that they should be allowed to do so. But based on truth? By definition, Obama is a racist. Why pull lout on Beck? I'd rather they not support a racist Presidents policies instead.

    I am looking at what it takes to sponsor him and if there is a win-win there.

    I am watching for the advertisers who are pulling out and am contacting them to let them know that I will not be buying their $hit either. If they want to boycott without cause, I will boycott them.

    whatshap...OBAMA DOES HAVE DEEP HATRED OF WHITE PEOPLE. Read his books. Look into his past. Look at his agenda. You have to be wearing blinders to not see it.

    They will be back, think those companies don't have ratings lists? They know where the numbers are.

    I'm trying to find a full list of the companies that pulled their advertisements and plan on not purchasing any products. BTW if anyone else does this be sure to send an email or call these companies and let them know why you are no longer buying their products.

    Advertisers don't like being associated with controversial comments of any kind, but controversy gets the highest ratings. Some advertisers might pull out of his show but others will probably come on board.

    I say, Glen Beck is an idiot and the advertisers pulling out over his calling Obama a racist are idiots also. No one withdrew support when Obama and his campaign called Bill and Hillary racist. Why is it okay for Obama and his people to do it but no one can use the term to describe him???

    Why should anyone be okay with the stuff the Dixie Chicks said but if a political opponent of Obama says something about Obama then advertisements are pulled, stores are picketed and the people who said the things are evil but Dems can say what they want???

    Don't buy their products. In the end everybody looses because of an extremist group of do nothings. Everybody except Beck. There will be advertisers waiting in the wings.

    Actually, they're pulling out due to threats from the White House.

    Nope, no joke. Apparently, a white man can't accuse a black man of being a racist (whether he is mistaken or not) without being thought a racist himself.

    You know things are bad when major companies get in the tank for Obama. Time for some serious consumer boycotting.

    I would say they can spend their ad dollars wherever they choose and for whatever reason. If you don't like the effect of colorofchange.org on the system then you are free to organize your own letter writing campaign to these advertisers expressing the opposite sentiment.

    He said Obama hates white people, I'm really not seeing anything Obama does that is contrary to that view point.
