I find the pathetic boycott the advertisers of the Glenn Beck show incredibly ironic. Color of Change, the group responsible for the boycott, was founded by green-jobs czar Van Jones, who describes himself as a communist. One of those rare communists who understands the free enterprise system enough to propose a boycott of the advertisers. He believes communism is the ideal system of government yet takes advantage of a freedom exclusive to capitalism--the boycott--to prove it. What, exactly, is his motivation?

Remembering Kennedy
from a 1990 GQ article:

"The Kennedy brothers always perpetuated their own glorious images, but over the years the last brother has built an image—not glorious at all—of his very own. For his hard public drinking, his obsessive public womanizing and his frequent boorishness, he has become a late-century legend, Teddy the Terrible, the Kennedy Untrammeled. In Washington, it sometimes seems as if everyone knows someone who has slept with Kennedy, been invited to sleep with Kennedy, seen Kennedy drunk, been insulted by Kennedy. At Desirée, a private Georgetown club where well-heeled fat men mingle with society brats and party girls, Kennedy is known as a thrice-a-month habitué and remembered by at least one fellow customer for the time he made a scene with his overenthusiasm for a runway model during a club fashion show."

passed by a Congress that hasn't read it,
signed by a president who smokes,
funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes,
overseen by a surgeon general who is obese,
and financed by a country that is nearly broke.

Apparently the new self-proclaimed communist 'green-czar' isn't too happy with the fact that Glenn Beck is on to him. Recently he got some of his lapdog bloggers to start a boycott campaign against Glenn's advertisers and to no one's surprise, the bully politics has had an affect. Here are a few of the culprits:

Wal-Mart? CVS? Best Buy?
Say it ain't so!

What can you do? If you've got some spare time, send an email to the advertisers that have dropped Glenn and tell them that you will not be supporting them until they publicly announce that they will be advertising with Glenn again. You can fin a list of advertisers here (it's the list on the left).

Folks, we've got the left in a full-fledged panick. Let's keep the pressure on!

In the most blatant attempt yet to undermine a legitimate conservative movement, the in-the-obama-tank media has completely sold their souls. This is actually great news, however. It means they're scared. If you're still not convinced that the MSM, as a whole, is not very fond of freedom-loving conservatives, these next links should be all the evidence you need. Go ahead and click, you "crazy, right-wing extremist."

For the third day in a row the deperate libs are defining hypocrisy. In this case, the same libs that praise government-funded agitators such as ACORN claim (with no substantiation, of course) that the town hall grass-roots movement is funded by health insurance companies worried that their profits will be cut. The dangerous mix of arrogance and ignorance of the federal government is truly remarkable.

Wake a sleeping giant and then insult him. Good call.

I know this sounds crazy but maybe, just maybe, the huge role that the government already plays in Health care caused the current problem.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/08/the_heat_is_on.html

That's right. The richest 1% of Americans pay more in taxes than the poorest 95%. Furthermore, the Bush tax cut expiration is looming and Obama and many in congress are suggesting that we raise taxes on this 1% to pay for health care. This begs the question: how much is their "fair share?" Yeah, we're not socialist (snicker).
