Boycotting Beck!
[UPDATE #1: Go here for the most recent post about the boycott Glenn Beck movement after he called President Obama a racist and said that Obama has a "deep-seated hatred of white people." This post has details, contact info, and a sample text to send to sponsors.]

On June 30, 2009, Glen Beck concurred with his guest’s advocacy of a terrorist attack against the United States in order to advance a radical right wing political agenda. Here’s the full quote [video]:
“The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States. Because it’s going to take a grassroots, bottom-up pressure, because these politicians prize their office, prize the praise of the media and the Europeans. Only — it’s an absurd situation. Again, only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary.”
This is the final straw for me. I join others in their outrage [TPM, DC Democrat Examiner, updates pending]. Inspired by a friend, who started contacting Fox News advertisers yesterday, I have started doing the same today. I am working off this list of Fox News advertisers (A-L, M-Z). In this post, I will keep a list of the advertisers that I contact as well as a running log of responses. Wish me luck and join in!

Here’s the initial email that I am sending (it varies slightly depending on my relationship with the advertiser):
On June 30, 2009, a guest on Glenn Beck’s program advocated the detonation of a major weapon in the United States in order to advance a right wing political agenda (you can find the full quote below). Glenn Beck concurred with this guest’s statement. I just wanted to inform you that after this malicious statement, members of my family, friends and I will not purchase any of your products until you cease advertising on Fox News or take significant action to rebuke these remarks.
In case you were not aware, here is the direct quote:
“The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States. Because it’s going to take a grassroots, bottom-up pressure, because these politicians prize their office, prize the praise of the media and the Europeans. Only — it’s an absurd situation. Again, only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary.”I recognize that as advertisers, you are not directly responsible for the statements made by hosts. I am also aware that given the diversity of opinions that exist on cable news, it is challenging to find a message that will satisfy all audiences. Certainly, some groups will always be upset by something that is said. However, this is not a simple political disagreement. This is advocacy of a terrorist attack against the United States in order to advance a particular political point of view. Accordingly, my gripe isn’t with Beck’s point of view (although I disagree), rather, it is with the means expressed to advance that agenda. Moreover, as a New Yorker, who vividly recalls the events of 9/11, I find it especially offensive that there has been no rebuke nor apology from anyone at or related to Fox News for their host advocating a second and more lethal terrorist attack in pursuit of his political agenda.
Although you are not directly responsible for these remarks, you are indirectly responsible in that you provide the funding that supports Glenn Beck’s program. This is unacceptable. Something must be done to address these horrific remarks and until something is done, your company will lose out on my business. Further, I will continue to spread the word that you are paying money to a news network that allows its hosts to advocate the use of weapons of mass destruction against Americans in order to achieve their political goals.
Best Regards

BMW was the first to respond. Their email was fine, but far from satisfactory:
Thank you for contacting BMW of North America, LLC regarding the FOX News Network. I was sorry to hear of your disappointment with our advertising efforts.
On behalf of BMW, please accept my apology. BMW advertises on a variety of television news networks and programs. Understanding that strong political views are sometimes expressed on certain networks or programs, BMW strives to take an impartial approach to its advertising. To that end, BMW advertises during a broad array of programs and does not endorse the content of nor the political views expressed in these programs or by these networks.
We appreciate the time you have taken to contact us. Your comments have been forwarded to the appropriate department for review. Please be assured that your sentiments will be heard and considered.
If you have any further questions, please respond to this e-mail or contact the Customer Relations and Services Department at 1-800-831-1117, Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time. Again, thank you for contacting BMW.
I have replied letting them know that their response was not satisfactory, in part saying:
I recognize the position that BMW is in as an advertiser. I realize that an advertisement is not an endorsement of the commentator’s political views. I just want to reiterate that my objection is not to Mr. Beck’s political views. Rather, it is with his tacit support for a WMD attack in order to advance that view. I feel that this distinction is vital is a sensible and necessary distinction that advertisers must also be willing to make.
Please keep me posted with any further updates from BMW regarding this issue, so that I may inform those affiliated with my boycott.

Wachovia’s response was similar to BMW’s:
Welcome to Wachovia! My name is Ayesha F and I am happy to assist you.
Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. I understand your frustration and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I have filed a report with our Customer Listening Group. This group collects all comments, ideas, and suggestions submitted to us through email, the phone, and the Financial centers. They create a monthly report from the data gathered and it is reviewed by our Executive Committee. The committee determines what actions will be taken, when they will be taken, and allocates the resources necessary to make the change. I know it’s not the immediate change that you would like, but I can assure you that your voice and your opinion will be heard.
Thank you for banking with Wachovia. My goal today was to provide you a complete and helpful answer. If anyone from the Online Services Team can help you further, please reply to this message.
GOOD FOR YOU!!! I’m thrilled that someone finally took action against this very dangerous hater who preaches to his intellectually challenged audience nightly.He already has the blood of Dr.Tiller on his hands and who knows what will be next.Glenn Beck’s hatred for our President is an outrage-his disrespect is unrivaled(except for almost everyone on that hidious network but one thing at a time).I look forward to following your progress and if I can help please let me know via twitter @hannityhater -regards, Lisa

Wow. Did you by any chance watch the full eight-minute interview? Have you read any of Michael Scheuer’s books? I have a hard time believing anyone could think either of these guys are “advocating” for a terrorist attack… You’re allowed to boycott whatever you want, obviously, but to represent Beck and Scheuer as having these kinds of motives is awfully closed minded, intolerant and hateful.
brasten
July 2, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Brasten,
Yes, I did watch the full interview. Yes, I am familiar with Michael Scheuer’s books. The statements made during that interview in the wider context of Beck’s rants demonstrate pretty clearly his lack of regard for the overall welfare of American citizens.
My representation is not closed minded, intolerant nor hateful. I’m quite surprised by your lack of concern over his conversation that involved a WMD attack on America in order to advance a political agenda.
Angelo
July 2, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Well, I WOULD be concerned if that’s actually what occurred, but it quite clearly isn’t. Both these men have been screaming about the need to defend this country from these kinds of attacks for years… and I don’t think anyone can deny the truth behind the statements (another attack would naturally enrage the American people)…
But the Stewarts and the HuffPosts of the world are taking the phrasing “the only chance we have” and portraying it to mean that they somehow HOPE for or are advocating an attack as a means to achieve their political agenda. It SHOULD be obvious to anyone not TRYING to smear these guys that he merely used admittedly unclear language to say that another attack is the single most likely event that would make the political class serious about national defense.
And obviously that’s what Beck interpreted, too. I’ve seen him reverse an exit to commercial to confront a guest who he thought was suggesting something along those lines. If he really thought Scheuer was saying what YOU think he was saying, he WOULD have confronted him on it. And Scheuer would have no reason to say that, since stopping an attack is the only reason he’s concerned about national security (thus, advocating one would be self-defeating).
I get so tired of people on both sides trying to make the each other out to be so evil… or that they have a “lack of regard for the overall welfare of American citizens.” People disagree on what’s best for Americans… that’s fine… but to twist that disagreement and portray others in this way?… sad…

Thanks for the reply @ twitter to irwin65 on Beck and the psycho he had on… brasten, responding to you, sounds to me like a true neo-con.

My motto is simple… FOX News… for brain dead people.
Jim Irwin
July 2, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Olbermann sat there and agreed while Janeane Garofalo accused the Tea Party attendees of being primarily motivated by racism. That’s extremely inflammatory and offensive… and yet nobody really said anything about it. Nobody was fired. Just saying.
Still, I notice the actual content of my message was entirely dismissed simply by (incorrectly) labeling me. I would have thought folks here would be open to open-minded discussion/disagreement.
brasten
July 2, 2009 at 11:55 pm
I watched the interview with OLbermann, and wished Garafalo hadn’t called the “tea partiers” raciests, but how does that compare to suggesting that we need another attack on the USA to wake up the citizens and politicians?
Many of the people who are showing up at the Town Hall meetings appear to be 65 and up, what kind of health
insurance do they think they have? What do they think of the Police Departments, and Fire departments?

You say you’re not closed minded but you dismiss arguments with ad-nasium “how neo-con of you” instead of debate. You then insult the entire viewing audience of foxnews and attack their intelengce. You heard what you wanted to hear, so you can attack and silence with the evil term “hate speach” any one who does not agree with your political beliefs.
The first amendment is still in effect. Polite speech does not need protection. Speech that chalenges leadership is what needs protected. If Mr. Beck had said “I want someone to build a WMD and set it off in LA” then I would be screaming louder than you.
But since his comment was that since our leadership is more concerned about how much Europe and the Press adore them than citizens safety, it will UNFORTUNATLY take a OBL style attack to “wake up” the people to the fact our leadership believes the fool’s montra “I can, using reason and logic, talk peace as an equal to people who believe they are superior to me.”
Beck was not inciting violence, he was stating what he thinks will happen
TAFischer
July 2, 2009 at 11:15 pm
I never dismissed it neo-con rantings. You’re wrong, simply wrong. I love how conservatives run and hide behind free speech. This isn’t a free speech issue. I am not saying that Beck doesn’t have the right to say what he said. That’s not the issue. The issue is about whether it’s acceptable or unacceptable. The issue is about whether, I, as a consumer, want to support companies that support his absurd rants and distorted wishful thinking.
The fact remains that he nodded along while his guest suggested that the best way to achieve their political agenda would be for another terrorist attack to take place in the United States. Put that in context with his vague warnings of insurrection, his accusations that extreme french leftists are somehow going to take over the United States with this little blue book and his other dangerous rhetoric and you have one figure unworthy of a TV show and unworthy of my financial support.
Angelo
July 2, 2009 at 11:26 pm
I again would suggest that you reconsider your opinion of Michael Sheuer’s statements; he was in no way suggesting or implying that another terrorist attack is the best way to achieve their political agenda.
Rhetoric aside, everything that was said is at least moderately rational.
(a) the American public is uninterested in more severe national security policies
(b) as a result, politicians are generally unwilling to be more extreme on national defense
(c) the only conceivable way that could change would be another attack
… I happen to disagree with most of those points, but they aren’t entirely crazy points. And they don’t come close to the kinds of suggestions that you’re accusing them of.
brasten
July 3, 2009 at 12:13 am
I completely support your right to engage in a boycott of anybody you want to, by the way. I don’t disagree with the actions you’re taking. I disagree with your assessment of Beck and Scheuer’s intentions; furthermore, the eagerness with which many are clinging to this erroneous interpretation seems to demonstrate an extreme irrational bias.
There’s simply no reason to hold on to the belief that either Beck or Scheuer were advocating, encouraging, supporting, hoping for or desiring another terrorist attack on this country to achieve some political goals. I cannot understand why so many people are so desperate to believe the story you’re proposing.
brasten
July 3, 2009 at 12:20 am
How else can you interpret…
“The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States. Because it’s going to take a grassroots, bottom-up pressure, because these politicians prize their office, prize the praise of the media and the Europeans. Only — it’s an absurd situation. Again, only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary.”
… as anything other than absolute treason and lack of regard for the citizens of this country?
Wake up.
LJS
July 3, 2009 at 12:33 am
You’re really only getting caught up on the first few words of that statement… the rest of it is completely non-threatening whether you agree with it or not.
Replace “The only chance we have as a country” with “The only way that’s going to happen at this point” and the sentence is hardly worth repeating. It’s someone saying they believe Americans won’t be serious about national security unless and until we’re hit again. *shrug*… that’s an opinion — not one I share, but there’s nothing particularly sinister about it.
The first few words might naturally spark some concern amongst those who are predisposed to fear and/or hate Beck or Scheuer… however, in context, wanting or advocating another attack on America contradicts everything both of these men have been saying for years — all the way up until a few seconds before the sentence in question when they were still expressing deep concern over the lack of border security and a perceived unwillingness on the part of politicians to adequately defend the States.
“Wake up” is cute, though. I’m not the one who is unwilling or incapable of critically examining the interpretations of a couple sentences. Interpreting it the way you are is certainly not impossible, and there are a million possible ways it COULD be interpreted… but when taken in context and considering the view points of the players involved it becomes irrational to interpret it in such a way.
Maybe you all could drop the labels and blow offs and actually discuss something rationally.
brasten
July 3, 2009 at 10:32 am
For God’s Sake Brasten! You’re just not thinking clearly! To say (and I quote you) “You’re really only getting caught up on the first few words of that statement… the rest of it is completely non-threatening whether you agree with it or not.” Yes Brasten…..THE FIRST FEW WORDS OF THE STATEMENT!….in which he says ““The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States.” Simply by saying, “it’s the only chance we have”……..he is absolutely suggesting he would like to see it happen.
Max
August 10, 2009 at 10:57 am
Additionally: If he had said, “What’s it going to take? A nuclear detonation in an American city by a terrorist?……..God, I hope not!” Well, the implications would be a bit different. Language is very important…..especially when by used by someone with a large public forum at his disposal.
Max
August 10, 2009 at 11:01 am
Nice try … but you can’t simply ‘replace’ what he (they) said. They revealed their asperations and that is the end of it … hopefully we will soon have the end of him (them)!
Geoff
August 12, 2009 at 11:24 pm
Additionally –
We need to be very very careful with the word “treason.” It was highly abused during the Bush administration, and it’s being thrown around flippantly by the Left now that they’re in office. Ward Churchill, Rev. Wright… those talking about secession lately… everyone’s being labeled “traitor” by the other side.
Treason must involve providing material support to enemies of the States. Even if these two WERE saying exactly what you think they were saying, it still would not be treason. It is NOT treasonous think or say things against the government, expressing a desire to secede, or even to hope for some kind of attack upon it. Of course, you’d have to be a pretty disturbing individual to hope for that last one… but if you did, it wouldn’t make you a traitor.

It’s a shame that sometimes it takes pictures such as the 9/11 disaster to get through to those who cannot interpret the English language.I would also suggest that you look at how our national security has been dumbed down since Obama has taken office. But excuse me I’ve forgot to remind you please get an interpreter to explain this to you.
I’m going to do the reverse and I started with BMW, I called them asked them to please keep advertising on Fox and I will look at buying one of their cars. But it’s funny the people I talk to nothing about your campaign.
I am now using your e-mail and phone lists to call these sponsors and tell them I will look at buying their products if they keep advertising on Fox. And I suggest anyone that feels the same way I do to do the same.

August 10, 2009 at 9:44 am
I’ve watched the interview. Over and over again and I just don’t see how anyone could take what Scheuer said any other way than the way it was intended.
“These words spoken by Glenn Beck”
They weren’t spoken by Glen Beck, they were spoken by Scheuer.. if you would have watched the interview.
“I would also suggest that you look at how our national security has been dumbed down since Obama has taken office.”
You could suggest it, but you would be wrong.
It appears to me that there are a whole bunch of people out there that are insane. Why you ask? Because it appears to me that these people not only want President Obama to fail, but it seems like they want a catastrophe (Like 911) to happen so they could say “I told ya so”. Well, if we are gauging a President’s ability to keep us safe by the US not getting attacked… Bush kept us safe for roughly 6 months of his 1st term before we were attacked. And Obama is going on 8 months in office… so using that as a comparison, it would appear that Obama is ahead of GW.
“But it’s funny the people I talk to nothing about your campaign.”
Well if you call your local BMW affiliate, of course they aren’t going to know. And if you contacted the Corporate offices, they wouldn’t tell you anything anyway. They have an image to uphold. They have to play the impartial card, because everyone out there is a possible buyer.
“I am now using your e-mail and phone lists to call these sponsors and tell them I will look at buying their products if they keep advertising on Fox.”
As an American you are well within your right to do so. But something tells me you aren’t going to go out and buy a BMW or Open an Account with Wachovia just to spite an online forum whom, in your words “Know nothing about the campaign”.

The converse of Scheuer’s statement is this:
“We are doomed if we are not attacked by OBL with a WMD.”
If the goal is to protect the US from attack, then Scheuer’s statement makes no sense. We have to wonder what he means by “We have no chance…” Who are “we,” in this statement? What are “we” doing that is so much at risk?
Protecting ourselves from threats that we have to wish into existence in order to justify our protecting ourselves from them?
Furthering the profits of the military industrial complex by further investing in defense, therefore needing a threat to justify it?
Galvanizing the people through fear and intimidation into a nativist/anti-immigrant mob?
All of the above?
I would recommend reading the article below, and analyzing this interview in light of this information.

I’m not a big fan of Glen Beck, and did not see this interview, this doesn’t change the FACT that Obama is advocating communist ideals. If you do not agree with this statement, please research the definition of communism. The thing about communism, is that the things it promise actually sound good, it is the economic consequence of a communist society that most are against, but most people seam to be somehow overlooking in their support of Obama.
Jason
August 16, 2009 at 8:23 am
I agree with you and it’s obvious that all the networks which support Obama, will not spotlight this fact that he and everyone he surrounds himself with, have communist tendencies. It’s a shame the the public won’t listen to cold hard facts. How is it people don’t believe his Czar’s own comments or obamas own comments? How is it they get to pick n choose what they want to believe but get to take Glenn becks comments out of context. I’m tired of bringing the truth up only to have it dismissed by radicals ( because that is who they are following) telling me, a person who has devoted a lot of time on Edwards campaign and then hillarys, even being her delegate… But I guess I’m not democrat enough since I refuse to follow blindly and refuse to drink the koolade.

I’m a democrat and I worked on John Edwards campaign, was a delegate for Hillary Clinton. But all you have to do is open your eyes and stop following candidates blindly. It takes more than the letter “d” to get my support. If you look at the whole picture, you’ d see why Glenn beck is asking questions about Obama and his administration. I’ve been doing the same well before beck and refused to back Obama. He keeps saying change will happen but I know it will not be the change we want. He will change the America we love into something beyond a socialistic society.
I used to be like alot of democrats who always signed all those petitions, stood outside companies with signs… Blindly. Open up your eyes and be open to the truth, don’t let people sway you with fancy speeches, it is cold hard facts we should go by.
I think this fox boycott is ridiculous, why was it nothing was said or done when Obama has basically ruled the other networks( we know they are biased and fawn over the president) so you want to shut down the one network that I believe is actually what they claim: fair and balanced.
