More than 60 advertisers have reportedly dropped their ads from Glenn Beck's Fox News program since he called President Obama a "racist" who has a "deep-seated hatred of white people." Here are his October 1 sponsors, in the order they appeared:
- Rosland Capital
- Clarity Media Group (The Weekly Standard)
- Roche Diagnostics (Accu-Chek Aviva)
- Maravu Plantation Beach Resort and Spa
- Imperial Structured Settlements
- Lear Capital
- Dish Network
- Goldline International, Inc.
- FX
- News Corp. (The Wall Street Journal)
- Federal mortgage relief plan hotline 1-877-414-2244
- The Scooter Store
- The Center for Economic and Entrepreneurial Literacy (Econ4u.org)
- Consumer Debt Advocate
- National Geographic Channel
- Superior Gold Group
- iCan
- National Review
In the past, those kinds of products were advertised on Beck's show.
I'm not going to do it again. Last night I watched an ad for a male enhancement product on "Countdown".
I'm big enough to admit when our side does the same kind of things we criticize the right for doing.
(Get your minds out of the gutter. I didn't mean I'm big in that way. I'm Irish.)

Oh well. This is the only entry I might conceivably boycott, but Fox is unlikely to stop advertising it on their own network, so I don't imagine there's much point to it.
I DID write a more-in-sorrow-than-anger letter to Toyota, however. Since I am due for a new car this winter, that's a letter with some oomph to it, I hope.
